they want attention or what? they always seem to be rubbing their stomach wether they are standing or sitting.
or saying stuff like "i don't feel good" to get attention.. or i want this, i want that as a craving.. it's just very annoying!! I am 3 months pregnant.. I don't like to show my face when I don't feel good.. me and my husband wanted this baby so we don't need the attention from my co-workers, nieghbors etc.. I still try to dress up normal.. wearing makeup, doing my hair etc.. but these exagerated women wear sweat pants, a mans t-shirt , slippers and no makeup.. how annoying is that.. pregnancy is something so nice, so you should make it look nice.. and stop rubbing the stomach and walking like a penguin especially when you are only like 1 to 4 months pregnant!!

I am currently in my second year of college. I am married to a Marine who is currently in Iraq. I am going to college to get my degree, and then I want to become a USMC Officer after I graduate college. My question is, when is the best time to try and start having a family with my husband? School is very important to me, and if I had a baby during school, then I would have to miss quite a bit. But at the same time, being an Officer in the Marine Corps is very important as well, and that would be hard to have a child during that time too. My husband is open to having a baby whenever, but having a baby is a big responsibility! Any ideas? Sorry if this question sounds a little odd..

I know I should not be so big at this stage and my mum keeps asking if im not further on, it's becoming embarassing as people are now patting my belly and it's too early for that. Post pregnancy my tummy was not skinny but was fine, but now it's huge and getting bigger by the day regardless of excercise and diet.

Everyone has to make a personal choice, and we all realize that, but people who bash breastfeeders are uninformed. I have no problem with formula feeders - do what you need to do, but the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE is FAR in favor of breastfeeding. Just about the only edge formula has over breast is that bonding can happen with Dad, but that can be overcome with pumping and using a bottle. Yes, some people can't for a number of reasons, none of which are mine to judge, however, no one can argue that formula is better for the baby. No one that is informed, that is. And yes, there are jerks on both sides. I just get mad when people try to argue that formula is better. It just isn't. I fyou have to use it, then you do so, no problem, but don't say it's healthier!

after intercourse, you get Ur menstruation (for less days than usual), IS there a chance of pregnancy under these conditions even if some bleeding occurred? I'ts been 30days and no signs of menstruation.

I would like to have a natural birth, and it seems that everyone that went in with the same outlook as me, ended up having an epidural or some other local anesthetic... Some reassurance would be nice :)

My unborn baby's father & I DO NOT get along. He really DOES NOT understand me. He stresses me out so much & I'm afraid I'll hurt me or the baby. I really don't know what to do because I don't believe in abortions. I know I'll probably need him around but I hate him so much. We just do not communicate. What do I do???????????

I know some people may suggest not to do this but I am looking for personal experiences of people who have done this and if it worked for them.? Should I use my pump? I know my situation and I've been in pain and have had no sleep in 2 days due to contractions and now I'm not really having any. There is much more to where I'm at in my pregnancy and it is time to get this show on the road! Please no ignorant comments. Any help is GREATLY Appreciated!

Why do SAHM's feel that their job is so much harder than any job in the world? It just irritates me to no end. I drive an hour to work, work 8-9 hours, drive another hour home. When I get home I have to deal with a mess that my father in law leaves there, or pick my child up from daycare (2 days a week), cook dinner, clean up after dinner, clean up the house (toys, crumbs on the kitchen floor...etc...) and end up spending about an hour or two a night with my child. My weekends are also booked with cleaning (scrubbing floors, dusting, sweeping, laundry)....I just can't stand SAHM's who think their "Home" job is so difficult - try working 40-50 hours a week, with 10 hours of driving a week....cooking and cleaning every day and hardly spending time with your child! I think SAHM's take advantage of their situations too. I think your husband doesn't respect you as much when you stay at home. I have the fullest respect from my husband by being a full time working mom and wife.

I stay in Virginia, & My parents are okay with it just as long as he stays in my life for the baby. Can he still get in trouble? & Will emancipating myself make any difference if he could still get in trouble? Also, will the doctors report him if he's in the delivery room when I have the baby?

marriage for the sake of the kids? Do you want to leave but cannot afford to do so? Or dont want to have to go through a nasty custody battle or divorce? Do you secretly want out, or at least away from your husband? Do you feel stuck and trapped? If yes, would you mind sharing your story?

My discharge has changed to a runny, watery white discharge. At times i feel like im peeing on myself cause it just runs out and it soaks thru my undies and pants. And now I can feel the baby head pressing on my cervix when he stretches.
