The doctor told me I could take it anytime but it wasn't working. It was only after being admitted to hospital for Hypertension that the nurse told me I should take Omeprazole 2 hours before breakfast. I now make sure I take it at least 1 hour before breakfast and it works much better .

Is less really a problem?
my baby moves around the same times everyday but there are certain times a day that she doesn't but its always been the same since i could feel her move at 20 weeks. Like if she's sleeping or something so my question is, do you really have to call your doctor if for one hour she/he doesn't move at least 10 times?
Have any of your baby's had a similar rotation or schedule i guess you can call it, for movement?

View 3 RepliesLast night my boyfriend and I had intercourse and all of the sudden I had a horrible pain overcome my lower abdomen and pelvic area. At the same time, I had very sharp shooting pains to my rectum. It was literally unbearable and I was almost in tears. I've had a similar pain in the past and I went to the hospital. They diagnosed it as a ruptured ovarian cyst. The only difference this time is that the pain only lasted for a little while (about an hour). Last time it lasted for at least two days. Last night after the pain ended I had trouble breathing and a very fast heart rate.

View 5 RepliesI failed the 3 hour glucose test by 3 points. The Dr wants me to see a specialist. Show I be concerned? I've only gone 24-25 lbs and I'm 30 weeks pregnant. My baby is measuring small and fluid levels are dropping. So I already go to the Dr's constantly to be monitored. I just feel overwhelmed. They gave me steroid shots and are talking about inducing me soon. I don't know what to think or do. Anyone have some advice?
View 4 RepliesEvery night when I go to bed I toss & turn at least an hour because I can never get comfortable. Once I eventually fall asleep and wake up to go to the restroom I can barely get up... my son has been head down since week 29 and I'm 32 weeks now.. it's like I have a lot of pressure in my pelvic area and in my vagina area to my thighs I feel stiff.. I literally have to hold on to the wall or bed for support so I won't fall... is this because he's head down why I'm experiencing pressure

View 2 RepliesI have been suffering from insomnia for the past 2 months. It all came suddenly. I had shifted to a new country and had been living there for one month when this problem started. Initially, I stayed up extremely late- till early in the morning at 5 am and would fall asleep and wake up at 12 pm or later. But slowly, I ended up sleeping less and less. Nowadays, I can only sleep for 2-3 hours at most, and I end up waking every hour, and have extremely vivid dreams. I yawn throughout the day. When I do fall asleep during the day it is only for 30 mins or so, during which I have vivid dreams of me doing something or talking to someone. When I wake up I realise it was just a dream- but it was so like real life that its hard to distinguish it from reality. I also sometimes wake up drenched in sweat. I am so scared this might be fatal insomnia. What should I do? Try as I might, I cannot go off to sleep at night. I am so scared. Its as if I have lost the power to sleep. There is no history of fate insomnia in my family. But I have heard of a disease called sporadic fatal insomnia which doesn’t require a family history. I am 27 years old.
View 2 RepliesI am so upset. I was tested early at 15 weeks because both of my parents have diabetes. I know I didn't have diabetes because I had my annual physical with my general doc weeks before I got pregnant and no sugar issues. I failed 3 out of 4 of the tests. So I'll have to prick my finger 4 times a day and restrict the carbs in my diet. What should I expect? Is it a good thing that it if it was going to happen it was earlier than later? I just really need to hear from anyone who went through this or know of other women who dealt with GD
View 3 RepliesI just took my one hour glucose test yesterday and the doctor called me today to have a 3 hour glucose test done because my numbers were abnormal, has this happened to anyone else and not end up with gestational diabetes? I'm just worried, this is my second pregnancy and with my first I didn't have this happen, but diabetes do run in my family so I don't know if I should be worried.
