Pregnant?! Stress?! Please help!?
My boyfriend and I have last had sex about 3 weeks ago. We always use condoms and gel that is a contraceptive. I got a UTI around that time, got prescriptions, it went away, and then came back. I’ve been using natural remedies to get rid of it. However, my last period (which came on time) was very light. Now, a month later and i should start my period in about 3 days and I just noticed some spotting/cramping which felt period related. I have no other pregnancy symptoms and I have been stressed a lot lately. Could this just be stress related? Please answer asap. Im starting to stress out more so because of all of this. Thank you!
I was only on antibiotics for about 5 days and that was around september first. I havent been on any medication besides vitamins since then. I dont think that would be the reason for a lighter period/spotting.
Michelle answers:
I doubt u are pregnant trust me dont worry about that!
When i had a uti it came back it came back from sex idk me and my fiance are perfectly healthy an have no sti’s just they can come from sex if you have already have one and what i found was after having my uti my periods were real messed up i think it might be the tablets they give you id prob go to the docters though just to check up
Goodluck

Breech baby @ 37 weeks…what was your experience like?
Hello,
We found out @ 35 weeks that our little girl is breech. We are going back on Monday for another u/s to see if she still is (I’ll be 37 weeks then). The doctor said if she is still breech @ 37 weeks then he will schedule a C-Section for 39 weeks (we will not be trying ECV due to the risks involved). At 35 weeks, she was 5lbs, 13oz and her legs are very long (her dad is 6’5). I have consistently been measuring a week ahead through out pregnancy.
My question is, how likely do you think it is that she will turn at this stage considering she weighed almost 6lbs? I’ve heard stories of babies turning at the last second but she has ridiculously long legs and I wonder if that’s a factor? And if she does turn, will I feel it? Because it doesn’t feel like she’s budged at all in two weeks to me, my lower stomach is really soft and my upper stomach is really hard and lumpy, lol.
If you had a breech baby at this stage…what was your experience like?
Also, I am fine with the c-section if I need one. I trust my doctor completely and he will be checking me every week regardless to see if she turns at the last second. He told me about all the natural remedies to try to turn her also.
We did talk about a manual version but decided against it in my case.
Michelle answers:
Actually baby will be fine. She is considered full term at 37 weeks,so anything after that is fine. That’s why when they give you a due date they always tell you two weeks before or two weeks after. I had an emergency c-section at 36 weeks bc I was in labor and when they broke my water bag my son flipped at the last second. I would try the natural remedies to turn her bc vaginal birth is so much easier to recover from for you and it is also better for baby. Good luck and congrats!

Girls only please. Period question?
So my last two periods were incredibly painful on the 2nd day, but almost nothing on the first day except a bit of blood. And on the 2nd days I bled a LOT, and my whole body hurt so much I actually started crying and I couldn’t move an inch. I threw up too. I don’t know why, but after a few natural remedies I felt much better. But I don’t want to go through that again. (And another reason I’m adopting. If that’s what a PERIOD is like, what will PREGNANCY be like?)
Today’s my first day, and I was wondering if there was some way in which I can clean my body of more blood so it doesn’t hurt as bad tomorrow. Not sure if this is possible, but any suggestions?
PS: If what I’m asking for is not possible, and you have another cure for the pain, please cancel out birth control pills. I heard they’re good for cramps, but I’d never be able to get them. While my mom is very trusting of me and would completely understand, my dad’s overprotective and quite suspicious. If it’s the only option my mom will definetly be able to convince him, but I don’t want a big deal to be made out of it.
Thanks everybody 🙂
I’ll just give some other people a chance to answer before I chose a best one.
We girls have to put up with a lot don’t we?
Michelle answers:
Awww (hugs) you.
I am so glad I am past the dreaded monthlies.
There is nothing you can do to speed up the bleeding, except they say keep active.
Lay with your tummy with pillows and a nice hot water bottle.
The cramps/pain is actually your womb contracting to push out the unused lining
it prepared in the womb for a baby, which is no longer needed since pregnancy
did not take place
The pains are inevitable and it is normal for may women/girls to throw up.
Hormone tablets which is what contraceptive pills are, do more harm than good. Avoid them.
There are some pain killers specially for period pains, but you will have to ask your mother to
help you and go with you to the chemist or better still talk to the doctor first.
Robert asks…
A natural remedy for allergies due to pregnancy?
Hi! So I am ten weeks pregnant and unfortunately have the world’s worst allergies this spring. Since I am pregnant, I will not take anything medicine wise to help me even if it is “ok” because I love my child and don’t want to expose it to chemicals if at all possible. So does anyone have any advice that will help me feel back on my feet a little bit? If it helps my most bothersome symptoms are a runny nose and sneezing and a dry irritating cough. Thank you all so much for your advice!
Michelle answers:
All I can think of is avoiding the allergens as much as possible.
Keep indoor triggers to a minimum, try and avoid going outdoors in the early morning hours to prevent unnecessary exposure to pollen, which is usually worst during this time. Avoid spreading pollen through your home by washing off as soon as you come in from outside. Or at the very least, bathe before going to sleep to keep pollen out of your bed.
Short of wearing a mask, glasses if your eyes are affected and having nice comforting drinks, sucking honey and lemon candy I am stuck!
In such situations I always keep saying to myself ‘it will pass’!
