If you are concerned then you should go see a doctor. You should be under the care of a doctor during the whole pregnancy. The doctor will monitor the progress of your baby as he/she grows.
Congratulations on the pregnancy and stop drinking and smoking if you do. The baby will thank you for it later.
I am feeling much better now, mentally. I went to a general doctor, well he wasn't concerned about my age or alcohol but he did say that because I have three slipped disks in my lower back that I was going to be in a lot of pain he even went as far as saying that if it were him he would terminate. I knew I would be in pain and I was ready to endure that but he made it sound like I was going to be permantly disabled, I immediately made an appt with my orthopedic specialist to see what my options were as far as the pain was concerned as I was not going to terminate.
Well he assured me that I am not going to be permantly disabled but that I was going to be in a lot of pain, more pain than a normal pregnancy but in the last trimester he could give whatever I needed for pain. He also told me not to worry about the drinks and other things he said he ,not knowing, performed a full spinal surgery on a 16 year old girl who also didn't know she was pregnant. They found out when she came back for a follow up when he took x-rays and a baby showed up in them.
After all that anesthesia, medication and X-rays the baby was completely healthy. So I am optimistic now. Thanks to my orthopedic doctor and all your messages .
I am so thankful for this forum, since I haven't told any family or friends except the daddy I havent been able to talk to anyone. I am excited I have my first ob gyn appt on Monday!(never thought I would say that I was excited to see my gyno) Thanks again.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
