Pregnancy & Parenting - 13 August 2006

Please, only answer if you have.

When my daughter was born, the day we came home from the hospital, I cried from the minute we left the hospital all the way home (35 min drive). I didn't even want to sit in the backseat with her. I love her to death though, It wasn't because I was sad, I just really can't explain it. But after that, I was fine, and have been ever since.
So anyways, I am 38 weeks pregnant, and I fear that I will go through it again, but worse, since I am single.

What were your experiences with PPD?
And can I prevent it? (Cannot afford therapy)
Can you take prescriptions for it while breastfeeding?

I had unprotected sex about six and a half months ago. Since then, I have not had my period, I have had weird cravings and rampant morning sickness. My belly is getting larger, and just a few weeks ago, I started having sensations in that area, like something kicking and squirming. My breasts are extremely tender, my mood swings back and forth each day. For example, at this party last week, someone brought carrot cake, and everyone knows I hate carrot cake, and I began to cry a little bit. But the party turned out pretty cool anyway, cuz I got all sorts of baby gifts. Do you think my friends are trying to tell me something?

Is it too early to take a home pregnancy test?

My period is about 4 days late (which for me is VERY unusual) but I have taken pregnancy tests at home and they are all negative. The only real pregnancy symptom I've had is passing nausea. I keep having cramps like my period wants to start then doesn't. Should I wait a few days, or call my dr?

I know I've asked this question like a billion times but I just more answers
Ok my mom died when I was 8 I am now 14, but instead of the hurt going away it comes stronger. Why does it do this??? It seems like everything I do reminds me of my mom now, what should I do???
If you are going to tell me that I need to talk to someone older like a friend, I have an 18 year old friend thats a girl and she is like a big sister to me but I don't want to bug her with my problems. But should I still try to talk to her???

Everyone keeps telling me that they stopped vomiting at 3mos--but I am on my 4th going on 5th month and I still vomit. I still feel nauseaous and dizzy and I still can't stand eating certain foods I used to enjoy. I spend most weekends sleeping all day and have really no energy to do anything else. Please tell me I am not going through this alone! I feel like it's just me.

My boyfriend and I called it quites the end of July. I wasn't that upset with it but I did end up crying for awhile. I went over to my cousions house for the last 2 weeks and there been this guy there. His name is Andy and he is 23 years old. I am scared to getting close to anyone but he is really sweet and I think I would be happy with him. The thing is I don't know if it's right for a 17 year old to date a 23 year old . Also, my mother doesn't know about him yet. I am scared of getting hurt and he knows that but he promises not to hurt me. Do you think it would be wrong to start a relationship with him? He doesn't presure me in having sex or anything. We haven't done anything together except hug and layed together on the couch.

I have a big phobia about illness and seeing/hearing people be sick and the same goes for diarreah. I am dreading the time when my daughter goes off to school and starts catching sickness bugs that are going to make her ill. I was just wondering if any other moms out there also feel/felt like this, and also wondering how to cope with it. My daughter is 15 months at the moment, but I know the time will come when she has to go to nursery and school, and I'm terrified. Advice please?
