Whats Normal?

Hi, I am about four weeks pregnant, I have
had diarrhea nonstop for the past week or
so, is this normal? I do eat healthy and
drink lots of fluids, so im not
dehydrated. And I have had lots of gas,
is this normal in early pregnancy? I also
have cramps that come and go with no
bleeding, itching like crazy, as I said in
another thread. Been nauseated, but no
vomiting yet. Tired all day. Urinating
all night. Very emotional, crying over
nothing, and angry over small stuff. But
not so much anger.  does this sound
relatively normal?

Umm, I would think constant diarrhea would
be a red flag. You might want to contact
your doctor about that. Being ichy isn't
a pregnancy symptom that .I'm aware of,
but is a sign that something is irritating
your skin. Nausea, fatigue, and frequent
urination are all normal. Moodiness is as
well.

a yeast infection on top of being prego.
She needs to go to a gyno soooooooon.

Itchiness can be a sign of pregnancy, but
not until way later when our skin is
stretching. Probably a yeast infection.

actually itchy skin is a symptom your skin
will get extremely sensitive and dry while
pregnant and the diarrhea is common as
well...

If you don't have insurance you should
qualify for medicaid.
You can't really take anything for a yeast
infection until your second trimester I
believe. You really need prenatal care.

If you don't have insurance, &you
don't make a lot of money, you really
should qualify for .Medicaid... I *have*
insurance (doesn't cover pregnancy), live
with my parents, &have a job..
&.I still qualified. Maybe it's
different in other states.. But you
should qualify.

I already got denied for medicaid, wic,
and foodstamps becuz my hubby makes too
much money. I barely bring home a 290
dollar paycheck but before taxes it is 400
he brings home like 1000 before taxes a
paycheck. And they look at that. They
dont look at bills, child support or
anything. So basically were screwed. I
hate this state. I think its bulls**t
that people can sit on their a**es and not
work and just keep popping out kids and
geto n all of the damn programs out there,
but the people who are working cant get
anything! But yet dont make enough to do
anything with. I'm not saying all people
on medicaid are lazy, but alot of people I
know are that are on it. They continue to
not work, not support thier kids, and live
off of the people who do works hard earned
tax money. I cant get benefits at my job
til the end of this year. So I have been
completely stressed out with that. Plus
my hubby has been kind of a jerk to me.
Saying I am a promiscuous person who just
wanted to get pregnant and get a check
from him. So I told him he wont ever see
his kid if thats how he feels, cuz then I
wouldnt be getting a check if he doesnt
sign birth certificate. But with
insurance stress and hubby stress on top
of this is almsot overwhelming for me.

How come you can't be on your husband's
insurance? Not to stress you out even
more but having a baby is wicked
expensive. I had a c-section and without
insurance it would've cost me over
$19,000.

Tell them if you don't qualify you're
going to just have to have an abortion.
I bet they'll try harder to see that you
qualify.

Do you have a rash with the itchiness?
There is a condition called pupps that you
can get with pregnancy. It is basically
just an itchy red rash that won't go away
until the baby is born but is not harmful
to the mother or the baby. All you can do
is put things like cortizone cream on it
to relieve the itching. I would talk to
your doctor before doing anything though.

pupps isn't in early pregnancy, it is in
late pregnancy.
To the original poster, they do look at
your household bills. Or, rather, what
would be realistic for a family of 2. I
work with social services all the time.
The fact that prior to this you weren't
pregnant is why they turned you down.
There are other insurance programs out
there, no just medicaid that you may
qualify for. Other than that, welcome to
parenthood. It is rough deciding whether
you can afford new shoes or a doctor visit
for the new baby.
I hope it all works out. Good luck!

Where I live you don't qualify for
medicaid unless your pregnant or jobless.
I didn't know she wasn't pregnant the
first time she applied.

i don't know that either, but if she is
early pregnancy...It kind of usually takes
awhile for a medicaid appointment was my
assumption... So I would likely assume
that maybe she wasn't pregnant when she
applied?
Life is rough everywhere.
