I am breastfeeding my three month old exclusively, and my periods have not returned. I experienced very light spotting for a few hours one week exactly after sex. Not sure what it is but wondering if it could be implantation spotting. Took a pregnancy test four days after the spotting but it was neg. Was it to soon to test? or does it have something to do with my period returning?

I used to alternate breasts every feeding, but I recently had to start feeding my daughter with the right breast almost every time. I don't understand why the left breast isn't producing as much milk. Is there anything I can do? It's really annoying being lopsided. I always have to use extra nursing pads to look normal. No smart remarks please. This is serious.

I'mk 21 years old and just found out that I'm pregnant by the man that I've been seeing for the past 5 years. We used to have a really strong relationship even though we've fought a lot and have since just been friends even though we both love each other very much. We just think it wasn't meant to be maybe right now. We still had hung out, had a more casual relationship with less stress and slept together for sake of comfertability with each other and not having to worry about straying to other people. I'm not gonna try to force him to be with me just because I'm pregnant now. I may even end up moving to be closer with family so he may not be around as much. I would like to know from experience mothers....I know of course it's harder to be a single mother...but I'm sure it's well worth it right and how did you cope???

I have a 13 month old daughter who has a bottle of formual at breakfast, lunch, supper and bedtime. She drinks water and jiuce from a sippy cup throughout the day. I have tried giving her the formual in a sippy cup and a cup but she takes a sip and sticks her tounge out and refusses to drink, it's like it tastes different from a sippy cut. Anything else I can try? How long should I let her go without drinking any liquid if she refusses to drink her formual from the sippy cup?

I have 2 small children and by the end of the day I am too tired to have sex. My husband is great but I'm just not into it. I lost all of the baby weight so it's not that I feel bad about my body, it just that sex is the last thing on my mind. I'd rather be on here or watching TV. What's my problem??

I started having sex two months ago, but I have been on birth control for over 6 months previously. I have never missed a pill. I've also had my regular periods at the normal heaviness. Recently I have started feeling "weird" though and I am getting sick a lot. Could I be pregnant, or am I just worrying entirely too much? Also, will home pregnancy tests work if I am still taking my birth control pills?

I just started my 5mo old on cereal, really liquidy like so many people suggested but how much should he eat. He really likes it but I don't want to overfeed him. Right now I give him about 3 babyspoons or less about 3x a week. Is that okay? And when do you give them other foods?

I am five months pregnant, and about to findout the gender of my baby this week. My x-boyfriend, who left me about a month ago, with an apartment we just got together an the baby, claims he doesnt love me no more, and never called once or anything. He even broke up with me over the phone. We did this pregnancy on purpose, it was planned...and now he turned his back. I am trying to get through it, and i have him now telling people it is not his kid, after he had told me that he would pay child support, and i could get full custody because it would "be too hard for him". I dont know how this will go over legally, but it is his child, i never even looked at another guy, let alone slept with one. So when the DNA comes back, what could happen? Can he get rights? Even after leaving me and saying these horrible things? is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening? I am so scared righ tnow I dont even know what to do or say...I never knew this would hurt this incredibly bad.

totally hypothetical story i was thinking about.
say a teenage girl around 14 gets pregnant she wants to keep the baby but she knows that her mom will make her abort it, so she hides the pregnancy from her mom till its too late for an abortion. grandmas mad, mamas living with friends, BUT babys born happy and healthy.

I have an 8 year old son and a 5 year old daughter that are "highly spirited". It does not seem to matter how much I stick to a routine, limit evening tv, and banish sweets and caffiene. I feel like everynight is torture for me. I know they do not act this way when they are with their father (which is everyother weekend). It is like they are determined to stay awake at whatever the cost. Losing priviliges seems to have no impact on them. I end up exhausted and feel like a screaming fool and that still accomplishes nothing. I feel like it is a constant power struggle, but feel as though no matter what I threaten to take away or do, they could care less. I feel outnumbered and frustrated everynight and would love to hear an impartial suggestion. Please help and thank you!!!!

why do i get so much more milk out of one breast than the other? I didn't have this problem with my last child. I am pumping now because my son was almost a month early, and is in the nicu still.

I have read and alot of signs that are PMS are also Pregnancy ones as well. What for you were different signs that made you know it was pregnancy,not just PMS? I am TTC and I feel like I have PMS but have felt pregnant for 2 weeks. I have been having cramps about a week after ovulation,and my boobs/nipples hurt and are very veiny. Also,I took a HPT and it was negative,but my LMP was 7/25,ovulated Aug. 6th. What are the chances it is just not high enough levels of HCG,and when would you test? Thanks!!
