Pregnant with kidney infection?

Okay so about a week ago I went to the doctors and ran a pee test to show positive for kidney infection. I've been on antibiotics since and will be for another week. I'm feeling early pregnancy symptoms from sex I had at least a week before the doctors visit (sex occurred a few times)
Do you think it is possible or normal for the doctors to miss or not see a positive pregnancy sign in my urine because of the kidney infection bacteria?

i wouldn't be sure to know the answer of your question but maybe it was too arly to know whether you were pregnant or not at the moment you took the test or maybe the doctor just checked for infections but the best thing you can go is go to the store and buy a pregnancy test to know and stop guessing good luck :)

chances of conception, weird bleeding?

I ovulated last friday (20th May, I had a pos ovulation test on the day), and my boyfriend and I had sex that night and also on the 23rd May. Yesterday I had some very light spotting, but if I ovulated a week ago can that that be my period? Aren't you supposed to get your period two weeks after ovulation or can it happen after only one week? I have been having stomach cramps and low back pain for the last week or so, which feels like I'm just about to get my period and I know it's too early to take a pregnancy test just now, I'm planning on waiting another week or so. I just want to know what this bleeding could be. I have endimetriosis by the way, we have been ttc for about eight months, I'm 26 and he is 30. Anyone got any advice? Thank you in advance.
@Camelia, no, I do not smoke, I gave up three moths ago, and I know having a baby would not be the end of the world, as it says in question my boyfriend and I are actively trying to conceive, hence why I am doing ovulation tests.

That could be implantation bleeding. Take a test when your period is due, and good luck =)

Conception Tips and Tips For Getting Pregnant For Those Who Are Trying To Conceive


Bleeding During Pregnancy (Paperback)


Bleeding During Pregnancy (Paperback)


$45.1


The phenomenon of bleeding has been shown to appear in up to 22% of all pregnancies and is associated with significant maternal and fetal morbidities, and even mortality. Although vaginal bleeding occurs mainly during the first trimester, it can appear at any stage of pregnancy and in the postpartum period. This sometimes life-threatening event requires an extensive work-up in order to recognize its cause and establish a rapid and effective therapeutic approach. This book is a comprehensive appraisal of this critical condition. It draws on evidence-based data and brings together, in a single volume, updated information on all aspects of pregnancy-related bleeding. A global group of interdisciplinary experts contributed chapters on: bleeding during early pregnancy (early pregnancy loss, ectopic pregnancy, gestational trophoblastic disease, and cancer of the reproductive tract during pregnancy); bleeding in late pregnancy (preterm delivery, placental abruption, placenta previa, vasa previa and uterine rupture); and postpartum hemorrhage.

Pregnancy - What could this be?

I've got bad swelling in my legs, feet and hands. I keep my legs raised above my heart mostly all the time, drink tons of water and don't eat too much salt.

I keep getting ill, feeling sick, getting headaches, feel tired all the time, lost my appetite and gaining 8lbs in 1 week but i do exercise for 20 mins in the day and nobody can notice this weight gain on me, etc etc.

My blood pressure is fine and i've no protein in my urine, so pre-eclampsia is out the question, i had my last blood test done 10 weeks ago, but i'm due to get one done again tomorrow, is there anything specific i can ask to get tested for whilst i'm getting blood drawn, or is this just normal pregnancy symptoms?
I know it's oedema lol, i just wondered if it could be more since i've been experiencing those other symptoms and nothing seems to relieve the swelling, which it's supposed to.

have you talked to your doctor about it.... there really is nothing you can do especially if your constantly moving.. the only way to prevent it is to probably lie down all day with your feet up... and if your anything like me thats not going to happen.. hang in there u only have a few more weeks to go

Are any aromatherapy bath products safe to use while pregnant?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and need some stress relief. I went to drink some chamomile tea the other day and read that it's dangerous for pregnant women. I also bought some lavender oil to put in my bath but read that was dangerous for pregnancy too.

Are all aromatherapy bath products a no no during pregnancy? Even Spearmint and eucalyptus? Have any of you used any aromatherapy that was approved by your doc?

Some oils which you can use during pregnancy

Frankincense
Chamomile
Bergamot
Lavender
Ylang, Ylang

If you dilute the oils a little more than you usually would, you should be ok, and the oils should be perfectly safe to use. But also check out the article in the link below.

Gift for Expecting Friend?

A male friend of mine and his wife just announced they are expecting their first child in October. I bought my friend a book that is a father-to-be's guide to pregnancy as a "congrats" gift. Do you think his wife will feel left out if I do not give her a gift? Do you think I should also get her something? If so...what? I know she is very knowledgeable on pregnancy as she is works as a nurse at my OB's office, so a guide to pregnancy for her would be useless, I think...she knows it all!
Jodi-You say "his friend" like there is more to it than friendship and I can assure you that there is not. I have been friends with him since we were in grade school. He is now very close friends with my husband also. I see him much more then I see his wife, she very seldom comes along when he visits us so I am not that close to her.

I say you do not have to buy your friend's wife a gift...after all...HE is your friend, if you consider her a friend it seems it's more of a "friend by association" type of thing. If you do decide to buy her a gift I think I would stick to some sort of book. How about a Baby Name Book?

Also...I do not see anything wrong with giving your friend a gift, even if he is a guy. He has been your friend since you were kids I am sure his wife is aware of that and if he visits you and your husband without her I am also sure she trusts you both in this friendship. Where is there a rule that says adults of the opposite sex cannot be friends beyond childhood? Give him the gift and don't worry about her getting mad about it, I am sure she won't!

Having a baby with Down syndrome is not something most parents would willingly choose. Yet many who travel this path discover rich, unexpected rewards along the way. In this candid and poignant collection of personal stories, sixty-three mothers describe the gifts of respect, strength, delight, perspective, and love, which their child with Down syndrome has brought into their lives. The contributors to this collection have diverse personalities and perspectives, and draw from a wide spectrum of ethnicity, world views, and religious beliefs. Some are parenting within a traditional family structure; some are not. Some never considered terminating their pregnancy; some struggled with the decision. Some were calm at the time of diagnosis; some were traumatized. Some write about their pregnancy and the months after giving birth; some reflect on years of experience with their child. Their diverse experiences point to a common truth: The life of a child with Down syndrome is something to celebrate. These women have something to say -- not just to other mothers but to all of us.This book offers crucial information and perspective to pregnant women facing a pre or post-natal Down Syndrome diagnosis. GIFTS is especially timely given the new 2007 guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which recommends that all women, regardless of age, receive screening for Down syndrome. Statistics show that most of these diagnoses result in abortion; if more women are screened the fear is that there will be fewer babies born with Down syndrome. The question is how informed are these decisions? If better information were available to women -- a copy of GIFTS, counseling that`s more up-to-date -- would the trend be different? GIFTS has already garnered interest from writers and Down syndrome advocates who are concerned about the lack of comprehensive information provided to women facing a pre-natal Down syndrome diagnosis.
