Period Changes After Pregnancy

just wondering if any of you have had changes in your period after pregnancy? I have a 5 yr old and after having him my periods did go back to normal. But I had twins last August & what a difference. My periods are now very heavy, i pass a lot of clots...i never did that before...They last longer than prior to my pregnancy.. The first 2 days are awlful. I know that pregnancies of multiples is different than just one but is this normal or should i be concerned & make an appointment with the ob/gyn ? Any feedback you have would be greatly...

Lower Back Pain During Pregnancy...

The ONE night that everybody falls asleep early (including me!)...and I'm up at 2 am with horrible lower back pain :(. I'm 35 weeks pregnant. I have extremely frequent contractions - I'm probably already dilated to a 2 - I usually am at this point...but I get to a 4 and stall (for up to 4 weeks, or until my midwife or OB feels enough sympathy and does something about it). I don't know if it's the constant contractions...the nature of pregnancy...the way I'm sleeping (no different than any other night?)...or what. Either way...I can't...

Bloating and Csection

I had a baby 6 1/2 mos ago by c-section. I know it takes time to get rid of baby belly, but my pregnancy was concentrated in my tummy and I lost 90% of it already. Looking at me ordinarily you could not tell I just had a baby. The nagging 10% I am working on, however, I notice that during my period I get bloated more than usual and it makes me look double the size I was again as if 4-5 mos pregnant and it's the pooch in the belly only. It's like inflating and deflating a balloon. Does anyone know if the c-section and trapped air has...

Painful Constipation During Pregnancy

My best friend is pregnant with her second pregnancy. She has been experiencing painful constipation for about five days at a time. When she does go, it's not enough that she feels relief. She consulted her doctor and he suggested OTC anti-constipation medicine, but nothing is working for her. She's been feeling really depressed, with headaches. It's even affecting her work performance, because she can't even focus. Has anyone experience this? If so, what did you do to help?

Diarrhea in Breastfed Infant

When my son was 2 weeks old, he began having diarrhea. It went on for a week before my pediatrician finally sent us to a GI specialist who felt it was a protein allergy causing the problem. We switched him to Neocate formula for 2 weeks and I eliminated all dairy, soy and eggs from my diet (I'm also a vegetarian and drink only water and rice milk - no juice). We began breastfeeding again this past Friday and he's got diarrhea again (he'll be 6 weeks on Sunday). I'm now removing wheat, corn and nuts in addition for sure but I may try a...

Pregnant with Hemorrhoids

I am in my third trimester and I'm looking for any recommendations to treat the swelling of hemorrhoids. I have been occasionally using the hemorrhoid cream that looks like vaseline and I don't think it has been helping.

No Morning Sickness...

Not that I'm complaining, but I'm 7 weeks along and still no sign of morning sickness. I had terrible morning sickness during the 1st trimester of my 1st pregnancy, and it feels strange to feel so healthy right now. Anybody had morning sickness make its debut after 7 weeks? Or might I just be lucky enough not to get it at all?

Help with Sciatica During Pregnancy

Hi all~ I am 5 months pregnant with our second baby. My first pregnancy was a breeze (with a difficult labor) but this one has been challenging. I have been suffering with gallbladder problems and now have severe sciatica issues. The pain is pretty much constant, but is much worse when I am at work at my desk. Obviously, not working isn't really an option. I think the culprit is my office chair and just am curious if anyone knows of a good one that might help. Any other advice for pain relief would also be appreciated. Thanks to you all!

Spotting/light Bleeding During Pregnancy

I just wrote a post earlier about being 5 weeks pregnant and not having tender and sore breasts. A couple hours ago I experienced some spotting then turned into light bleeding. The blood is light red so far and I am afraid it might get heavier. Is this a sign of complication or miscarriage? I am going to the doc tomorrow but I can't sleep thinking what could possibly be wrong. I never spotted or bled with my first pregnancy so I am very anxious to know what is going on. I can't help but put one and one together with having no pregnancy...

Pregnancy Weight Gain Out of Control!

My first pregnancy resulted in a weight gain of 55lbs, 25 of which have stuck with me. Toward the end of the pregnancy, I felt like the weight gain was out of control. I'd eat a stick of celery and gain a pound. I accepted that as part of the pregnancy since it was toward the end when I was supposed to be gaining. I am now 6 weeks pregnant with my second child and have already gained 8 lbs. I cut back on calories or eat as normal and GAIN. I have even started walks again- 45 min at a time- and that does no good either. Does anyone...
