I last had sex on Sunday, June 19th. Two days later I began to feel sick…a simple sore throat turned into a fever of 100.7 and slight nausea that same night. The fever went away the next day because I took medicine, and the nausea subsided but it took me a good 4 days to start feeling like myself. I also ended up being 3 days late for my period and got it on Saturday, July 9th. I thought I may have been pregnant til I got my period. Flash Read More

I was 20 when I found out I was pregnant. I was so excited. The 1st thing i did was pick up the phone and call my boyfriend. He was excited as well. We were actually PLANNING the baby. We thought and knew that the baby would turn our life around completely, for the best of course. But then it hit me, MY PARENTS. My parents HATE my boyfriend, for understandable reasons. My boyfriend and I used drugs and were very violent towards each other, Read More

I’m 18yrs old, and my partner is 20. We’ve been living together for two years now, and just recently moved to his hometown of Brisbane. We have been discussing children for a while now, and we both feel that we are ready emotionally and financially to try to conceive. My partner’s family is very against this, even going so far as threatening to disown him. They claim we are too young and barely more than children ourselves. Read More

I have not been planning to fall pregnant and have been on the pill for approx 3mths now. 2 weeks before my period was due, I started bleeding, really light at first and it has gradually gotten heavier. It sounds disgusting, but during the bleeding, I noticed it had chunks in it. I’m not sure what clots look like. Today my bleeding seems to look like it’s starting to get lighter, Read More

I’m still in my early weeks of pregnancy and yesterday I went to the ER with bleeding. They said I might be miscarrying but my hormones are 384 and have to get another blood test tomorrow. This next test is to see if I’m still proceeding with the pregnancy or not. The Dr. said I could be miss carrying because my blood is Rh negative. I got the RhoGam shot that they said is for women with this problem. Has anyone gone through this Read More
