Pinched Nerve When Pregnant

Hi, I am 8 months pregnant and about a month ago I started having trouble with carpal tunnel. Now to make matters worse I have a pinched nerve on the right side between my shoulder blade and spine. It was already hard enough to sleep with my hands and wrists tingling and hurting, now I wake up and have to walk around to get it to stop. But it hurts to adjust myself in bed and now my hands tingle all day also from the pinched nerve. I take Tylenol when it gets bad, but does anyone else have any advice about this? I've never had these...

What Week of Pregnancy Am I In???

I am very confused about what week I am in in my pregnancy. I am not able to go to the doctor for another month due to lack of funds and insurance problems. This is my third pregnancy, and it was a BIG surprise. My last period was May 26, but it was short and only dark brown. I had been feeling dizzy, sick, tired and starting to get a belly for the last two months. I only took a pregnancy test because I was suppose to start that day and I felt sick, so I thought I would just see. And it came back positive. I didn't start thinking I was...

Cold Medicines While Pregnant

I just called my doctor about what I can take while sick and pregnant. I've gotten so many different answers from people that I'm not sure who I beleive. My girlfriend said she was told anything Tylenol and she took Tylenol Cold and Flu. When I asked my nurse, she said yes, anything Tylenol but not cold and flu. Nothing with pseodophedrine in it. Not sure how to spell that. The pharmicist near me said Sudafed which is probably the closest to pseodophendrine you can get. Help. I have chest congestions, stuffed nose and runny and...

Morning sickness?....more like ALL DAY SICKNESS!!

I am about 6.5 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy, and I am so nauseated. I never felt this way with my first pregnancy. It's "all day" nausea and it leaves me feeling like I can't get anything done. To make matters worse I am trying to take care of my 2 year old son and keep up with the house work, but all I find myself doing is laying down trying to keep from throwing up. This is a horrible feeling. Does this get better as the weeks go on, or do I have to feel this way the whole first trimester? Any suggestions on what to eat...

What Do You Spend?

I want to know what you ladies spend weekly or monthly on groceries. My husband gives me $500 every 2 weeks for groceries and gas for the car. I always go over budget - but cannot possibly see how to cut costs. It is only 3 of us in t he family - but I still seem to go over. I do buy wine and beer w/ this money - so it is not just food. I buy fresh vegetables - good cuts of meat - like sirloin, not chuck. I buy some organic foods - like macaroni and cheese and some fruits. WOuld love to hear from all of you moms out there.
