Question by Name: Pregnancy symptoms 5 days after sex?
I lost my virginity about 5 days ago, and a couple of days later I had cramping. He wasn’t wearing a condom a couple of times, but he was the other times, and he didn’t ejaculate in me (also he said that he’s sterile). I’ve been having hot flashes today. Is it most likely tiredness, anxiety, or pregnancy? When can I take a pregnancy test if I usually get my period around the 12th?
I’m kind of nauseated, too.
Could it be signs of an STD?

While it may be the immediate problem of acid and reflux sore throat or painful joints that’s got your attention there is another way of looking at health problems. One that takes an different view of illness and the way a healthy body works. Medical practitioners are focusing on the idea that high levels of acid in the body keep the immune system from doing an effective job.

Anyone that has gone through pregnancy will be able to testify that the pain of giving birth is far from the only pain that comes with it. Throughout the nine months of pregnancy there is increased hormone production and this can result in things such as morning sickness and a stronger sensitivity to smells. Late on in pregnancy however can be one of the most unpleasant stages as acid and reflux in pregnancy can result.

Question by a: Can Pregnancy help anxiety disorders?
have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and have been on meds. (lexapro) for a few years now. The meds. seemed to be helping me for a couple of year but I noticed when I first became pregnant with my daughter about 2 years ago that during my 2nd trimester and throughout my pregnancy my anxiety got better. By the end of my first pregnancy my neck tension and panic attacks totally disappeared (and I have anxiety pretty bad). When I was postpartum I noticed within a few days after giving birth my anxiety came back full force and slightly worse than before I had became pregnant.

Shortly after I had my daughter almost 3 months after I had her I became pregnant again with my son. I am recently still recovering from having him only a couple months ago and noticed as soon as I had him that my anxiety came back. When I was in the hospital recovering my anxiety reached its worse and now that its been a couple months later I noticed my neck tension coming back extremely bad and my anxiety has worsened. I went back on my lexapro after having quit it completely when I was pregnant with my son but it seems to not be helping at all…my psychiatrist prescribed me a muscle relaxer and it still doesn’t seem to be helping with my neck tension and even though I’ve uped the dosage of my lexapro my anxiety is still horrible…=(

How great to be pregnant! It’s a time of joys and challenges. There are so many aches and pains, such discomfort. Though we are gaining weight, have muscle and joint pain, we are elated. What can we possibly do to alleviate this? I recently heard about pregnancy massage. What a luxury! During my pregnancies, I wish I had heard of this. In most circumstances, pregnancy massages can be a great relief and comfort.

All the normal feelings of stress and anxiety come to the forefront upon realization that there is now a new human being growing inside, and this child is a huge priority. There is joy and anticipation that goes along with these feelings. Often we can benefit from a pregnancy massage, just as we can benefit from a massage when not pregnant.
