This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries. For mothers between 15 and 19, age in itself is not a risk factor,...

A couple of questions

I have a couple of questions.

I went to antenatal classes last night but I didn't think of this first one until just a few minutes ago.

Ok, so we talked about labour and the colour of the waters when they break. So what if your baby stresses out and passes a poo but your waters don't break? How safe is it for you to keep carrying your baby especially when you wouldn't even know. I just had a VERY stressful week so that is why I am worried..

Second question is. How common is it for the due date to be worng? I mean I am really big and even the midwife thought I was 30something weeks when I was 27weeks! Is it dangorous to be over and not realise??

Hope to find some answers through this!

Thanks

it can harm the baby if it poos inside of you. my ex-aunt's sister's daughter pooed inside her and she came out with some problems. she had to have a feeding tube inside her nose for about 2 yrs i think. she is fine now. the problems only last a little bit. as for being over the due date it's very comon to look bigger than yuou are or go over your due date.only about 5% of women give birth when they think they will.about 80% deliver sometime between their 37th and 42nd week about 11% deliver prematurely. and according to an artical in the journal 'obstetrics and gynecology' 50% of twins and nearly all triplets, quadruplets and higher multiples are delivered before the 37th week point. i know a lot of this because i have a magazine that has a section called ' The Truth About Due Dates' i hope this is all helpful to you.

I think the main problem when the baby poos, is some respiratory problems. But the doctors will try to suction the lungs before the baby takes their first breathe. Try not to worry about this, I think I read it is not very common.
Also if they notice before you are giving birth or whatnot then there is something they do and put better fluids into where the baby is, and take out the bad.
As for your due date I'm not sure if it is bad. Maybe ask your midwife if it is bad or not. But I dont really think that it is bad.
And also, a lot of doctors and midwives predict the babys weight and watnot and guess wrong, so it could be just a mistake, or you could be having one big baby.
Good luck. Hope you get the answers your looking for.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
