Does anyone else worry about their baby being okay? I'm 14 weeks, and been to the doctor and heard the babies heartbeat and saw the baby on ultrasound, and everything was great. But this is my first child and I can't help but worry about the baby!

dehydration projectile vomiting diarrhea congestion fussiness gas clingy irritable fatigue but sleeps in short spurts-- took her to the dr. they said pedialyte 1/2oz every 1/2 hour unless she is sleeping and no food unless she is peeing and isn't vomiting and diarrhea lessens. Only food to give her are cracker, mashed potatoes, rice cereal with pedialyte mixed in it. She didn't even know what was the matter with her, there are plenty of babies/toddlers sick around this area with the same symptoms, does anyone have any ideas? Please helpful/insightful suggestions/comments only. Thank you all so much!

Do you think it's OK or disgusting. Would you buy it for your little girl? Do you think it appeals to paedophiles?

The only thing I've experienced is a little light cramping, and I'm maybe a little more tired earlier in the evenings, but nothing significant. Everything I'm reading says I should be SO tired, and my breasts should be tender...well they're not at all. I did have some very light spotting 3 nights ago (only when I wiped, and there was very little). 2 days before this happened I had an internal at my doctors office. My hcg levels were at 4004 (at that time, I was 6.5 weeks). Has anyone else had hardly any symptoms, and perhaps a little darkish brown light spotting?

This has nothing to do with pregnacy, but I couldnt find a heading on this and I dont want some younger kids to read this. I guess you could say I dont even know if I have had an orgasm because I am unsure of how they feel. I am 19 and I am dating a great guy who makes me horny all the time. The thing is, I scream because it feels good, but I am not sure if thats me having an orgasm or not. Please give me some pointers to how I will know if I might be having one!!

I don’t understand why everyone gives teenagers who are pregnant so much sympathy just because of the situation they put themselves in! What is up with that? I do not believe in stereotyping anyone--especially teenage mothers but why give them sympathy? I don’t care about anyone’s age, it seems to me people on here who are young mothers or are young and pregnant always put “I’m 16 and…” Why should we care how old they are to answer their questions? You don’t see some one write “Hi, I’m 32 and…” Are pregnant teens trying to get sympathy or attention because of their age? I think a lot of teenagers put a really bad reputation out there for themselves and others in the same situation---therefore creating and adding to stereotypes . What are your feeling on this?

I have a baby who is on a schedule that makes her very content and easy going. She has 2 naps during the day, and without the naps, she is very cranky and crabby, and she will stay woke and throw fits no matter what we do. Anyway, my friends came over and I told their 14 year old daughter not to go in and disturb the baby. She says, "oh, but she's making noises". My baby was dreaming, just making coos in her sleep The daughter disobeys me and goes in and wakes up my baby.

So then my baby was mad as a hornet, upset over seeing a stranger rudely awaken her, and tired as all get out on top of it all. I just got her to sleep. I want to be nice, because they are good friends, but I am upset over this because I feel like they just disregarded my instructions as the child's mother, and did their own thing. Then of course, no one wants to deal with the cranky baby, so I had to cook supper through that and finish my homework with baby yapping when she could have been sleeping soundly.

I am 39 weeks and 4 days along...I saw my doctor today and he told me he is waiting for my cervix to thin so he can induce me (I have this bad rash that he doesn't think will go away until I deliver.) Today he tried to help my cervix stretch by basically fingering me as far as he could. I was wondering what bloody show looked like because since the appointment I have wiped a tiny bit and then found what looked like blood on my panty liner...I know this baby is coming soon!! And I am very excited...I just want to make sure everything is normal...and don't tell me to call my doctor I have to see him tomorrow at 10 am.

She is planning on moving away so I want to buy her something that she would use often so that she can remember me. She is having a baby boy and my budget is $75 - $100.

Thanks

i just dont understand why he sleeps so much. he is 1 month old and it seemed as of he was startin to wake up more, but he has slept all day. he slept for 7 hours and then woke up for about an hour and then went back to sleep for about 3 hours, ate, and went back tosleep about an hour later. Then he woke up about an hour later, ate, and went back to sleep for a short nap and ate again and then went to sleep about 2 hours ago and is still sleeping. I just think that this is a lot of sleep. PLEASE read this and tell me what you all think and if this is normal. And what could be wrong with him if this is too much sleep. Or what i should be concerned with. I am a new mom and maybe am just freakin out. dont be afraid to tell me!!!

I've been having contractions that feel like monthly cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back. I'm feeling pressure in my groin and my legs are achy. I'm debating about going to the hospital. Has anyone else experienced this?

they will be punished? It can't be both, and I personally prefer the punishment part. That way if they're having the time of their lives running down a hospital corridor screaming their heads off, that to them might be worth missing out on ice-cream or a new toy.
Also am I correct in thinking they should not be bribed with dessert so that they will eat their dinner? The fact that they won't starve and are getting all of their nutrition should be reward in itself. Tell me what you think. All comments welcome. Even you people.... yeah, you know who you are. O.k. that was a joke.

Today my two month old was in his car seat and the car seat was set up on the seat of a shopping cart. Somehow the seat hit something and the whole thing fell. It was in a clothes store and the clothes broke his fall, when I tried to catch him, I may have made it worse. I don't think HE hit the floor because the handle was up on the seat, and he was strapped in, and he had the neck brace thing in his seat. He cried for a minute, and had a small bump and some redness over his eye, but it has gone away. I was terrified and I still am. Is there anything I should be looking for? He is eating and sleeping fine. I'm just concerned.
