Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 July 2006

I thought I was pregnant, but the tests came out negative. But if I was, I would've been 12 weeks. So here's the story. I had to come home from work one day because I was dizzy, nausous, and felt like fainting. As soon as I came home I started crying from the pain I felt all over my body, I had a fever, sweating, chills, major headache, nausea, vomited. I went to sleep for 12 hours and woke my hands looked swollen, and kind of bluish. No discharge though. So dizzy and I wanted to sleep more. The week after that happened I started my period with major clumps in it. I'm not allergic to anything, and didn't have any takeout(poisioning). At the time I was going through major stress at work and home,and drank alot of energy drinks, but that never had any effects. What do think it was?? I thought it could've been a miscarriage.

Me and my boyfriend broke up about 2 weeks ago. When we broke up all he said was that he wanted to take a break but he has another girlfriend but his bestfriend told me that he wants to break up with her and go back out with me. While we were going out he never cheated on me or anything like that. And we went to the movies and out to eat every friday together. I still love him a lot but should i go back out with him?

I am 16 weeks pregnant with my first child. I am kinda built small, and not really showing. When I went to the doctor today, the nurse seemed to be concerned that I haven't really felt my baby moving. I mean I could have, but I really don't pay attention. Sometimes I am not sure what is the baby and what is just normal internal movement. Should I be concerned that I am not feeling my babay yet??

Also, the doctor also was concerned about my weight gain. I have only gained 4 pounds so far. The doctor said I should at least have gained close to 10 pounds by now. Has anyone else lost weight or gained it slowly like this??

I have a Ex-friend (long story) who should have 5 children but only has one. This week she is gettin her 4th abortion in 3 yrs. She does this like its a yearly physical and has no remorse or guilt what so ever. I do not believe in abortion what so ever. What are your views and why? And what do you think about what this girl is doing. I think she needs to quit having sex or at least have protected sex if she dont want kids. Does this anger you like it does me? Do you think there should be a limit on abortions?

I got my first ultrasound at what I thought was my 20wk check up to find out that i was actually only 16weeks at the time. When they checked to see the sex of the baby they suggested that we were having a little girl. Is this prediction very accurate or should my husband hold off on the pink paint in the nursery??

With the demanding schedule of being (on reserve) I got called when I was needed and I had to be to the airport within 90 minutes and I had no idea what sort of trip it was going to be. Reserve status can be a very long time. It could be a 4 day trip away from home and I wouldnt know until I got to the airport. SO I quit and went back to my other job, there was a slight delay in the job change, but on reserve I wouldnt have been able to make my prenatal care visits because I would never know when I was in town.
It is safe to fly when pregnant but being on reserve made life hell. I am now 9 weeks pregnant, and my boyfriend is still so furious! I am working my other job now, but Im not in the wrong am I? I did it for the safety of our child and he is making me feel like I let the world down. What do I do? I was the youngest flight Attendant for the company (19) but I am mature, I just cant do everything. Please help. Thank you.

I live in Ohio and am a single mother with low income. My electric bill was INSANE last month and I can't afford to pay it. Cinergy just turned into Duke Energy and I heard they hand out disconnection notices like candy. If you don't know what HEAP is, it's a program that gives a voucher to mail to the electric company to help pay the bill once a year. I have 2 kids (one 10 week old) and need to keep them out of the 90 something degree heat as long as I can. The central air was fighting with the furnace so it was constantly running all month until the complex had someone come out to fix it. I'm sure my next bill will come with a disconnection notice, I am hoping the month's electric will be less since the AC is fixed.

The barriers are
1. The woman over 50
2. The woman has an IUD installed
3. Her partner uses un-aged condoms with spermicidal lubricant and no breakage occurred during intercourse.

It seems like this should be essentially impossible. I'm asking in this section since more experts on fertility should be here than in general health.

I only have insurance related to my pregnancy so I cant see a regular doctor. I had an ear infection 2 months prior to getting pregnant and I recieved alot of medication from the doctor (when I had insurance) Of these Medications was Amoxicillin, Amox-Clav and Perciset (oxycodone). I have been taking the Amoxicillin assuming it is safe by research I have done online. Are the rest safe?

what is wrong with not wanting your child to be named the same as all others...
I asked a question asking about the names i like and got some very rude comments... all i asked was which was prefered..not how i should teach my child values and all that crap...
why do people get so angry when you dont want your child to be a Sarah, or Michael...
