6 months pregnant - complications.
Hi, I am 21 and I am 6 months pregnant with my second child, my first born she is turning one this month. The baby I am pregnant with now is a boy and he was un-planned. I have recently been having the feelings of sharp pains in my stomach some what like contractions, but they aren't consistent. I have not gone to the doctor because I am on vacation, but Im wondering if I should so see one or not.? Has anyone else had these? Also my baby bump is a lot smaller than with my last child, I dont look 6 months but more like 4. Why is this? Could there be something wrong with my baby? Also I wondered if stress could be putting a strain on my pregnancy because I just divorced both of my kids daddy in May, now we are going through a custody battle with the oldest, he knows Im pregnant but insists that it is not his because he thinks I cheated on him which I never did.....Could the stress of everything Im going through now be stressing my body out to go through early labor?Sorry Its long Im just a little concerned.

Every pregnancy is different so the amount you are showing may also be different. Obviously if you know you are having a boy you've had an ultrasound. Did the doctor voice any concerns? If he didn't I wouldn't be too concerned about your size.
Although if you haven't gained weight like you should because you are not eating right due to stress, then this is something you can improve on and can discuss at your next regular appointment.
Some women never feel Braxton hicks contractions, but most who have had one or more babies do. Usually they become noticable at around the stage that you are now. Since you haven't been informed by the doctor if this is normal or not. I would say you should go, perhaps even to the emergency room if your regular doctor or a clinic is not available. If it's normal pains it will ease your mind and help bring down your worry and stress level. If it's not something normal, this way you will feel better knowing you are doing everything possible to take good care of your unborn baby.
In addition to mental stress, it can be quite a physical stress to have pregnancies so close together.
By the way sounds as if your ex is not a very nice person. Guys often say "It's not mine" just to relieve their guilt for not taking responsibility. I guarentee you are not the first and won't be the last in regards to that situation. How terrible of him!

You really do need to see a doctor.
It may be nothing at all, but don't
take that chance.
I'm sure stress isn't doing you any good.
It may have nothing to do with what is
going on with the baby. Mention it to
your doctor anyway. Its something he/she
needs to know to give you the best possible
care.
Be aware that braxton hicks contractions
start early in pregnancy. It could be
you are feeling those. Still see your
doctor, find out for sure. You certainly
don't need further stress brought on by
worry about your baby.

Lady, go see a friggen doctor! Your unborn child is more important that anything you've got going on in your life right now. Stress can release hormones that are probably not good for your son. Kick back relax and tell everyone else to shove off. If you were my girl you wouldn't be doing crapola right now but watching TV and eating bonbons. Me and my wife's second son wasn't planned either, well neither was our first but I love them the same and would die for them both. "I'm pregnant but insists that it is not his because he thinks I cheated on him which I never did." Let the looser sweat. Start thinking about that baby you've got inside of you.
