Don't Worry Posted: 08-10-03 23:12pm


I remember feeling the exact same way about the same time as you... I'm nearly 7 mths pregnant now. I also had a couple uti's, one of which was bad enough to cause me to bleed. I guess it's just part of learning to become a mom, worrying about everything that happens. But even though I was convinced several times that there was something horribly wrong, there never has been, and my baby is kicking and squirming around in there letting me know he's doing just fine! Hang in there! It gets easier! Miranda

Not Ready And Scared Posted: 08-14-03 16:56pm


I recently just found out that I was pregnant. I am not married and not even out of college yet. I have a serious relationship and he says he will be behind me 110% with whatever I want to do. I really think I want to do this, but am completely lost and scared. I don't know what to do next. I went to a clinic and they were not any help at all. They basically told me that I was pregnant and sent me on my way not knowing any answers to my questions. This just left me even more scared and doubtful that I can do this. If anyone can give me some advice on what to do next or how to start this change the right way I would appreciate it. I just need someone to give me some advice. Thank you.

ok, when u go to the doctor, do you ask him questions or u wait till he tells you things? Becoz that's very important, asking questions makes u more released and makes u look very educated and went there prepared.

But u have asked questions and they did not answer them? Well that means u need to change doctor! Fast!

U know? U are lucky that ur bf seemed to be helping u and supporting u, and also u know that u wanna keep this baby, coz alot of girls dont even know what to do. So now, u just need to focus on what u want to do and how to make it work, dont worry.

:p

it's normal for pregnant women to have uti's or even virginal infection, but it's also not good! And I hope u will be ok soon!

Being pregnant and finally having something u have been waiting for 3 years is woderful, and I am so happy for you, so since u already got what u want, why dont u relax and let life takes u where u will be.

It's gonna be a wonderful journey! Enjoy!

You might be spotting but you should call your doctor and find out. Call soon too.

A lot of times you will have bleeding in the manner you described, particularly at this stage. This kind of bleeding is usually old blood due to the egg implanting in the uterus. Bleeding is always something to report to your Dr. Though, you will want to let your Dr. Know. Bleeding does not always mean something bad though, don't worry. Just find out for sure to put your mind at ease. Good luck
