Pregnancy & Parenting - 18 August 2006

Ok here is my situation. On Wednesday I took a pregnancy test at 9:30 PM and it was positive. Then I took another one at 7:30 AM the following morning and it was positive. I have felt the symptomes but my husband and I have been trying for 8 years and nothing so I am kind of in shock. Do you think I am really pregnant?

My baby boy doesn't like to eat for very long at all. He keeps falling asleep and then finally doesn't want to wake back up to eat at all. And then he wants to eat again a half hour later. I want to know if there is anything i can do to get him to eat more at one time. It's very painful for me to have to feed him that often. I am starting to crack and bleed again and scab up. I have lanolin that i put on but it doesn't seem to help that much. Also it hurts very badly to feed him, sometimes it feels like somebody is taking a knife to my nipples. Again, very painful. Please help...

By the way for those of you who remember me asking questions while I was pregnant and tried to help me with names for him I named him Aiden Oscar. He was born 7/27 at 8:02 PM and weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 21 inches. I was in labor for 33 long hrs.

I had 2 POSITIVE pregnancy tests at the beginning of this week and now I am having negative tests. I had all the symptoms of being pregnant. Late period, sore breast, nausea, tired, etc., What could this mean? If I am pregnant - I know that I used an ovulation kit to tell me when I was most fertile and it was on August 2 and 3rd. I had sex both days. My period was suppose to start this past Saturday - no sign of it yet - whats up with this? I am really bummed out that I was positive (with symptoms) and now the tests are reading negative. Can someone help me?

I thought that mood swings and grumpiness were supposed to pass by the 2nd trimester? I've been feeling really tired still and irritated, especially with my husband. Anyone else feel this way through most of there pregnancy? This is my 1st by the way!!! And sometimes I feel unhappy about being pregnant, like it won't be just me and my husband anymore......just sometimes though, mostly I'm excited about being pregnant!

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have never experienced this with my 1st two. I mean I usually can't stand the smell of food. However, now I can't stand the smell AND sight of food.
I just had some potato chips- which I was intensely craving for. Bad idea! I threw it all up. I'm super hungry, but I don't know what to eat! I'm afraid that if I do eat something I'll throw up, get heartburn, get all gassy-bloated-can't burp but want to so badly~~> (which I have been everyday since we conceived).
Help?! I need some suggestions on what to eat without feeling like barfing every 5 minutes! Is there even a solution? If so......WHAT IIIS IIIIT?!
Thanks!

I know that during pregnancy, you are not supposed to go on roller coasters or any thrill ride. What about water slides in tubes? I am just curious.

My youngest girl is only 10 yr old and calls him her brother and even my 18 yr old daughter says that. But my 20 yr old daughter refuses to let him call her his sister. I have found it easier to let him call me Mom when he started pre-school last year. He is the child of my son, who is very sick and was unable to care for him. My adopted grandson--my youngest so knows that I adopted him and that he was in another woman's belly. Just curious if there are any others that maybe in my situation or have some good advice. I want to be truthful with him and not make this a huge mess for him. He is deeply loved by myself and husband as well as our other children. It is just hard at times because he is my biological grandchild. I know this is quite common nowadays.

I'm 26 & hubby is 31. He just told me last night we need to wait about 2 more years before we try to conceive (after he told me & both our parents last month that we would try this coming March). I started getting excited & so have our parents. The reason he wants to wait is because we are on a major savings plan for a house. He wants to put down a 40% down payment so our payment will be low on a big house. We've been renting a 2 BR apartment that is very small for 4 yrs. It devastated me last night when he said this and I cried a lot. He said that if I force him to get a house & have the baby instead of doing this plan he might regret this & he says I'm not willing to sacrifice & that I'm being selfish. He said he was ready for a house & a baby but wants to continue with this savings plan because it would be better for our future. I am really wanting a baby soon but I guess I'll have to wait! It's hard visiting friends that have houses & kids knowing we have to wait 2 years!!

With my daughter, I had to have an emergencyC-Section because they lost her heart beat. She was born normal and healthy though. I'm having another one and only a couple weeks along but don't want another C-Section. Anyone out there have a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cescarean) or what can I do to lessen my chances of another C-section?

Before we gave my son Dumex, but i noticed that he's appetite is not good. Sometimes he can finish 4-5 bottles and sometimes just 2 bottles. And dont want to eat solid food. Then we decided to switch him to Grow. Seems ok now, but it cost more than Dumex. Is it ok to mix two formula milk? For example 2 bottle needs 4 scoops, 2 Grow scoops and 2 Dumex scoops? Any side effect for that?
