Hello im 25 years old and married with a 18 month old son. my husband and I have been tryin to get pregnant again and although I have been having some symptoms and my period have been irregular, I constantly keep getting negative test results. it makes me sad and i feel like less than a woman, I feel like I cant give him anymore children, any advice?
My wife is an RN and a mother of 4. She has no expertise in fertility, but every time she meets someone who has been trying to get pregnant, she tells them to stop trying. Still have sex, but relax and stop trying to get pregnant. It has worked every time. She thinks the pressure of trying so hard has a negative affect.
i know that you have heard it a hundred times, but stop trying. it will happen when your body is ready for it to. It knows when you have stressers or for some reason shouldn't have one at that time. It took us three years to get pregnant. My sister-in-law had one child and then a set of twins in that time. That was killer to watcher her and the family be so happy when all i wanted to do was scream and throw a fit. It will happen when it is time. Hang in there. And good luck.
DONT WORRY, I HAD A DOUBLE INGUENAL HERNIA WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD, AND I AM NOW 32 YEARS OLD. I HAVE VERY FAINT SCARS, BARELY VISIBLE UNLESS I ACTUALLY POINT THEM OUT. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, ACCORDING TO MY PARENTS, WAS THAT I DID NOT MOVE AROUND TOO MUCH, SO THAT I COULD HEAL AFTER THE SURGERY FOR THE DOUBLE HERNIA. IT MAY BE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOUR BABY BECAUSE THE AGE IS 1, NOT THREE WEEKS, SO I AM SURE YOUR BABY IS MUCH MORE ACTIVE THAN A NEWBORN. IT IS ALSO AN ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOUR BABY IS NOT AS FRAGILE AND SUCEPTIBLE TO INFECTION AS A NEWBORN, ALSO, THE MEDICAL PROCEDURES THESE DAYS ARE MUCH LESS INVASIVE. JUST BE SURE TO NOT TAKE THE RECOVERY STAGE LIGHTLY AND ALTHOUGH YOUR BABY WILL BE UPSET ABOUT THE DECREASED MOBILITY ISSUE, HE/SHE WILL THANK YOU LATER FOR BEING A STICKLER DURING THE HEALING PHASE!!! I HAVE HAD NO COMPLICATIONS, WHATSOEVER FROM THE DOUBLE HERNIA SURGERY I HAD WHEN I WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD. GOOD LUCK!!

70% of pregnant women have a vaginal delivery, where the baby is delivered through the mother's vagina. This method of childbirth is as time-tested as pregnancy itself. Learn more about the stages of labor and how vaginal delivery works, in this video!
Delivering your baby is a rush, but it can also be a little bit scary. Remember that babies have arrived vaginally since the dawn of time, and that two-thirds of American babies still debut this way! The first-time mom can expect to labor for about fourteen hours, while repeat moms tend to take around eight. But because labor CAN last a few days, it helps to be prepared! Childbirth begins with labor, a three-stage process. The first stage of labor has 2 phases, latent and active phase. Latent labor is the longest phase and lasts from a few days to a few weeks. During latent labor, your cervix will dilate about three centimeters, a process that results in mild, brief contractions, which are spaced five to twenty minutes apart. Your amniotic sac MAY rupture now, but it’s more likely that your water will break once you’re in the hospital. Expect to notice discharge, known as the bloody show, and to experience back aches and cramping. At the end of latent labor, the active labor phase begins and you’ll head to the hospital. During active labor, which usually lasts for several hours, your contractions will strengthen and occur about every three minutes. Try to stay as comfortable as possible during this period. Don’t be afraid to ask for a back rub, or for help walking through a contraction. During the active phase of labor, you’ll start your breathing exercises, if you plan to use them. If you’re having a medicated birth and have not yet done so, you might ask for pain-relief now. At this point your cervix will open past four centimeters and labor will quicken. The result is very strong contractions which last about a minute and are spaced quite closely together. This part of your labor can be VERY intense, and you may experience nausea, fatigue, chills or sweats, and strong pressure in your lower back and rectum. Once your cervix is fully-dilated to ten centimeters, your labor will end and it will be time for stage two of childbirth: the delivery! To push your baby through the birth canal, a process that can take 60 minutes to several hours, you’ll get into your preferred birthing position. Following the instructions of your doctor, you’ll push as if you’re having a bowel movement with each contraction. And don’t worry: Your bowels and bladder may empty, or you may vomit, and that’s normal! Between contractions, you’ll rest and conserve your energy for that next push. Soon, your baby’s head will appear, or crown. Once the head emerges fully, your doctor will suck mucous out of your baby’s nose and mouth, and then guide him or her the rest of the way. The umbilical cord will be cut and your baby will be in your arms! But YOU’RE not done! It’s time for stage three of childbirth: delivery of the placenta. This usually doesn’t last longer than 20 minutes and is accompanied by mild contractions. Once the placenta is delivered, your doctor will stitch up any tears and you’ll be free to nurse and cuddle your new arrival. Congratulations, Mom!

It took three years for me to conceive my first child. We gave up hope and it happened. Be patient. I know, I never liked hearing that either.
