Maybe I Can Help You With Some Sites Posted: 10-16-03 12:41pm
I've been to some sites checking ovulation
info and most of the site had a lot of
informaiton on labor check this sites:
babycenter.Com
pregnancy.Com
ask.Com (type "labor or type your question
this should give you sites to look at that
will answear your question)
Well I know there is a way, but I can't
get ahold of my mother this morning and
she is an obgyn, but I will tell you what
she would say, go to the hospital!
Especially since your ob isn't doing
anything to help!! I hope everything goes
ok!!
Much love

It is kind of unhealthy and unsafe for you
to try and check yourself for dilation.
This usually isn't done until the last
month of your pregnancy. They will start
checking you every week during that month.
There would be no need to know otherwise.
Unless you are a high risk pregnancy with
previous complications due to an
incompetent cervix. If this is the case,
you Dr. Would routinely check to ensure
that your cervix is still closed. Hope
this helps.

I just saw your other post and put the two
of them together. I'm sorry. I don't
know what I was thinking. If you insist
that your Dr. Check you for dilation,
s/he will probably do so. They kind of
have to do what you want. Also, go ahead
and ask what their policy is on induction.
My Dr. Would induce electively within
ten days of your due date. I was
scheduled for induction and then went into
labor on my own. Have you lost your mucus
plug yet? Like I said though, I don't
think it's healthy for you to try and
check yourself. You could do it wrong
without experience and that's never good.
Ok... Good luck

Found a site and had my boyfriend do the
check and it seems like I am 2-3cm
dilated. I lost the link cause we had to
unistall and then re install everything on
the computer. But it told you how and
said that it was safe. Dont see how it
could hurt anything to check though, its
not as if either he or myself would be
harsh with anything concerning that area.
But thank you all for the advice. :d

First of all mamax2 I have a 3 year old
daughter also and I love her to death too
I would not give her up for nothing. And
it was your choice to iave two different
baby fathers. (not mine's). Whatever
floats your boat! Sometime's people may
slip up and make very bad decision's
sometimes and the outcome is bad but you
have!to do whatever makes you feel better.
Just like it made you feel better to get
pregnant by a different man; again that
was your decision (that would not have
been mines). And quote me if i'm wrong
you said : (kinda sick of hearing about
woman who use abortion as a form of birth
control). Well i'm saying to you i'm
not kinda sick I am sick of other people
judging other people period. So my
advice to you is to read carefully before
responding to anything.

If you sent me that by way of private
message I dont see why you felt the need
to post it as well. However I will
respond only by saying that I did read
your posts and you said something to the
effect of you were not about to walk
around with two baby's dads, which would
lead anyone to believe that if you found
out that it was not in fact your
boyfriends that you would end the
pregnancy. And as far as me choosing to
have 2 babies by two dads it wasnt exactly
planned, but I love my children
regarldless of who they are from, but
thats just me. I was not trying to judge
you but you do have to realize if you
post personal matters on a public board
you are liable to get judged.

I felt the need to send you the message
privately and I wanted to post it; I
wanted to make sure you was going to get
it. And it's for you to see why I did it
just know I felt like doing!! Anyway, I
don't want to hear no more about what you
think of me and my pregnancy cause just
like you said that's just me. So do what
you do and i'll do what I do. End of
discussion!
