I’m 16 and im freaking out that i am pregnant.?
Okay so i am 16 and i decided to have sex with my boyfriend. and he used a condom and put it on correctly. the condom didnt break and he didnt come inside me. i think im freaking out over nothing but my period is a day late. should i be freaked out? i went to the doctor the other day because i felt sick and he told me i have dyspepsia, popularly known as upset stomach or indigestion, meaning hard or difficult digestion, is a medical condition characterized by chronic or recurrent pain in the upper abdomen, upper abdominal fullness. It can be accompanied by bloating, belching, nausea or heartburn. all i know is that i never wanted to get pregnant and everyone telling me im not should i still be worried?
First off i want to say that who ever that Hackim person is must be an idiot. A baby is a blessing no matter if it was expected or not. I agree with Will on the you knew the consequences of having sex, but i also know how it is to think you love someone so much you feel as if you are ready for sex.
MY advice is don’t worry your only one day late and your a younger girl, since your younger i’m guessing that your periods are not fully regulated. So more than likely your not pregnant and the more you worry about it the more stress your putting on your self, and a late period can be caused by stress, eating changes, sickness, and many other things.
Do I Have Celiac Disease?
My doctor did blood tests and it came out negative for celiac. He referred me to a gasterentrologist. I have all the symptoms of celiac, including a pesky rash. My bowel movements are light colored and fatty. Sometimes constipated and sometimes diareah. I am losing weight, but I do eat right and exercise. My liver enzymes were slightly elevated, however. I have some abdominal pain and bloating after I eat. Anyone have any ideas? What are some other tests for liver disease?
I am attaching a link to a magazine article that is about celiac disease. Read the part about the celiac iceberg about halfway through. It discusses the possibility of latent or quiet celiac neither of which will show up on blood tests. So with the symptoms you are having, it suggested to your doctor that you might have celiac disease but after the negative test, the next step is to go on a trial gluten free diet for 2-3 months and see if your symptoms clear up.
An easy way to do a gluten free diet to begin with is to eat fresh or frozen fruits and vegtables, fresh non-processed beef, fish, chicken, pork, eggs and cheese. Stay away from sauces and gravies for the time being. Add in rice and potatoes for starches. If the trial diet works for you, then you can start learning to read ingredient lists and finding gluten free pastas and other foods that you like that can be made gluten free.
Good luck!

When should i worry about pain during pregnancy?
Hi ladies, I am 20 weeks pregnant, and last night i had stomach pain, it was not crampy , it was like a stiffening pain, not severe, just uncomfortable, i can’t remember how long it lasted because it happend in the middle of the night, i can’t describe the feeling , it’s like my stomach tightening,?? anyways, i don’t want to go to the doc for every little thing,
when should i worry about pain?
today i’m feeling great.
Well, First of all I’m not a lady. And Second, the time when you should start worrying about pain is when your about 35-37 weeks pregnant. As for the pains you were feeling last night, that was your uterus stretching to make room for the baby. A lot of women go through this around 21-22 weeks of pregnancy. So, that was what you were feeling. Good luck and I hope this information helped.

How exciting!! You are just pregnant and looking forward to this amazing time in your life that you shelter and nourish a little one inside of you! There are a few things that you need to do in order to achieve health during pregnancy and so keep you and your baby happy, healthy and thriving.
You must continue to look after yourself and do your utmost not to give into these cravings that pregnancy brings. Just pregnant women tend to indulge in unhealthy foods by making excuses that the baby needs it. Sadly, this isn’t always so. Although some cravings can be good for you, it must be understood that others are indicative of a poor diet. In some cases, for example, if you have an urge to eat apples, your body may be craving the pectin for it to assist in lowering cholesterol, so you might need to check you are not eating too much fat. By curbing certain food habits during pregnancy, it is easier to maintain and supply all the nutrients to your child.
When you are just pregnant, eating healthy and being active are sometimes the last things you desire to achieve. It’s not exactly easy to have daily nausea, swollen feet, and a rather large belly and be able to think properly about nutrition. Instead, we opt to eat what is accessible and what we crave. This can have an extreme consequence on the body since baby weight can be challenging to lose post baby. Not only this, but if an unborn baby isn’t getting the nutrients it needs for developement, it will take what it needs from the mother without checking first if she can do without it – that could mean taking calcium from your bones!
Health during pregnancy means that you eat taking into account your needs as well as those of your baby. You are not doing anyone any favors by gorging yourself on items that have no nutritional value and just serve to appease a minor craving. Rather, you can enjoy your pregnancy and be free from discomforts, sickness and other physical effects of pregnancy by ensuring you eat a healthy diet with plenty of vitamins and nutrients.
The best time to start a regimen of healthy living is if you are just pregnant, and don’t want to start down a path of excessive weight gain. If you watch what you eat and strive for optimal health during pregnancy, it makes it easier to regain your figure once your baby is born.
The very best tip that can be given to an expecting mum is for them to eat healthy and be active. Proper exercise and eating habits should be constructed around your belly and safety of the child. By being physically active during your nine months, you lower your risk of health complications and can even shorten your labor. Less pain is always good!
Try working out your entire core (including your abdominals and pelvic floor) as these are the major muscles and anatomical structures that aid in pregnancy, labor and delivery. Try seated belly breathing or contracting your abs and then releasing, as these are effective but also appropriate ways of exercising while your little one is growing.
Remember, exercising properly will only benefit your baby and your body. Don’t be afraid that building up a sweat will deplete any nutrients from your child. Rather, you should endeavour to eat a well balanced diet which includes plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables which have an abundance of required nutrients and minerals.
This will help you to keep the baby weight to a minimum and, once you’ve given birth, your body and your baby will thank you!
