If these are the syptoms, what's the problem?

A couple of those symptoms sounds like pregnancy but of course I'm no doctor. I would definitely get that checked out to be sure. Hope everything is ok.

 

Could be appendicitis!
Also, the sore gums could be due to hormonal imbalances (my gums bleed like crazy when I'm on the pill).

As for the negative blood thing, that really only applies when you have been pregnant before and during the birthing process. Your blood (along with antibodies) do not mix with that of the fetus until you are giving birth.

That's all I got. I hope everything works out fine. And please be sure to use protection.

 

Could well be pregnany but there's many other possibilities, it could well be septicemia, appendicitis (so can't spell that), anaemia etc.

All i can say is drink water and see a doctor. No matter what it is water is very important - double your intake immediately.

 

Bearing in mind that I'm not a doctor yet (still got 2 more years): Some of your symptoms sound like pregnancy, but there are also a lot of other things it could be.

I would definately get it checked out, and sooner rather than later. Sharp stabbing abdominal pain is never a good thing. It can be a sign of significant problems and should be checked out as soon as possible.

Ectopic pregnancy could fit, but again there's no way to know without more info/tests and there are other possibilities that are more likely. I don't want to scare you, but ectopic pregnancy is considered a medical emergency. So if you really think that's what it is, then that's all the more reason to go see a doctor.

A negative blood type will not lead to rejection of the first fetus. Only subsequent pregnancies are at risk for rejection. It is the first pregnancy that sensitizes the mothers immune system following exposure to the fetus's blood during birth. This leads to the production of antibodies against the fetus's blood groups which is what can lead to subsequent miscarriage.

I hope you feel better. and definitely see a doctor ok.

 

MedGuy11 is correct. Whether or not your pregnancy test is positive, you should see a doctor. Abdominal pains in the lower areas of the abdomen are cause for seeing a doctor.

Interesting that you knew about the need for Rhogam during your pregnancy. Did you have a previous pregnancy?

 

The problem occurs when the mother is Rh(D) positive but the father is Rh(D) positive. If the baby inherits the father's Rh+ genes, then the mother develops antibodies to the baby's blood during the first pregnancy. This can cause problems during subsequent pregnancies when the babies are also Rh+. So, you would not have a problem if this is your first pregnancy nor would you have a problem unless the baby's father were Rh+.

The complications exist for both the baby and the mother. RhoGam is given during pregnancy and at childbirth to prevent the mother from developing antibodies.

I digress. Please let us know what your results are and what the doctor says about your symptoms.

 

Well, although it doesn't sound exactly planned, congratulations still!

 

You are doing what is best for yourself, and that is the most important thing.

Whether it counts or not, I support your decision 100%.

And I think it important to keep in mind that no matter what people tell you, it is your decision to make.

I wish you all the best!

 

Myra, I am so sorry that you are going through this right now. I know it is not easy for you. Your decision sounds like it is the right one for you. It is a very individual choice, and you should not worry about what anyone else may think. Hang in there, take it day by day and know that this difficult period will end soon. I have known quite a few women who have had abortions and all of them came through it just fine. I am sure you will too.

 

I'm not sure what to say, so I'll just say this.

I hope everything goes well for you! I am behind you!

 

I suspected that your test would come back positive based upon your symptoms. It's good that you've gotten a doctor's appointment this quickly. He will probably send you for an ultrasound, so hopefully you'll have an answer in the next day or so about whether you have an ectopic pregnancy.

 

Hi Myra.

I'm really very sorry to hear about your situation. I understand how this is something that can leave you feeling very isolated and alone. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share it with us so that you could get some support here.

I personally believe in a woman's right to choose.

I think if I were in your situation, I would do exactly the same thing.

I'm glad that your ex is being supportive. I'm not surprised, as you always spoke of him as being a really nice guy. It's a shame that your relationship had to include this kind of situation, but as time passes the present enormity of the situation will diminish.

PM me if you want to chat any time, ok? (*hug*)

 

I'm sorry to hear about the situation, but I'm glad to hear that your ex is at least trying to help you. I think that your decision is right for you, as I too believe in the woman's right to choose and it sounds like you have thought this through thoroughly.

Good luck. (*hug*)

 

Wow.
I can't even fathom what you must be feeling right now.
I don't know you, but I support your decision as well.
Good luck.
