I am 4 weeks pregnant. I have been having some very mild cramps on and off for couple of weeks now, nothing particuarly painful, similar to period cramps but lighter. I wasn't too worried about them but called a doctor just to check everything was ok. What he said has now terrified me and I'm really worried. He says that there is probably something wrong with the pregnancy and i have a high chance of misscaraige. When I said that I have been having these little cramps for a while now but not constantly, and could it be just my body adjusting to the pregnancy, he told me that is an old wives tale, and u don't get cramps in early pregnancy????? I am absolutely terrified now. I have had a misscariage a few years ago and am really worried. Has anyone out there experienced cramps in early pregnancy?? and if so, what were they like and how long did it go on for??

I'm 36 wks...I'm at work right now and boy am I pissed!!! It's just a mood swing .... I'm in such a bad mood and I dont know why. The phone rings and I wanna yell, my co-worker talks and I feel like kicking him in the crotch. What makes it worse it that they can tell I'm a little tense (even I try not to show it) and they make a joke out of it. I even picked a fight w/ my baby's dad. I asked him to do me a favor that I knew was impossible (while we were both on the way to work and I asked him to drop off food at my job...even though he has a farther drive and there's a food joint down the street from my job) What's wrong with me? How can I calm down? Am I being unreasonable or do i just wanna be pampered during my last week of pregnancy .. is that too much to ask?

Our 5 month old baby sometimes wakes up at night crying uncontrollably.

We know for sure it is not a wet/dirty diaper, no scratchy stuff prickling her, temperature is exactly how she likes it, etc...

Once she is picked up, she will whimper a bit, then fall right back to sleep like nothing every happened. She will go right back in her crib and sleep. The whole process is under 5 minutes...

She hasn't done this lately, but for the first three months it was 2-3 nights out of the week, and she did it again last night for the first time in probably a month.

I'm sure she is too young for nightmares, but night terrors are different. My husband suffered from them when he was a toddler, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a genetic link type thing? I have always slept the sleep of the just and innocent, lol... an earthquake couldn't shake me when I was a babe according to my mom...

she's only 8 days old!! I'm pumping breastmilk (we failed to get a proper latch) and I'm having a heck of a time keeping up with her...so we're topping off some of the feedings with formula (about a 1/4 oz when needed). Is it normal for her to eat this much?? BTW-she was 9 lbs, 7 oz when born...if that has anything to do with it.

Also...she has explosive diarrea (not sure how to spell that). Is that normal? What can I do for her?

I called her doctor and I'm just waiting for him to call me back. I would just like some info from experienced moms as well.

Thanks!!

I have 1 child who is now 4. With that pregnancy, I had almost no symptoms except really bad headaches and fatigue. I had sex during ovulation and started showing classic signs of pregnancy. Extreme nausea, dull backaches, extreme fatigue, food cravings, heartburn, severe mood swings, cramping, tinges in my breasts and nipple sensitivity. My fiance and dad 2 my 4yr old just knew there was a baby.

I had these symptoms for about two weeks and then my period came on yesterday. The flow was alot lighter than normal for the first day and was bright red in color ( usually starts off rather dark) but heavier today with many small clots ( also ususal) and still bright red.

These arent my normal pre-menstral/menstral symptoms. One day 1 of the bleeding I was really weak and very crampy. This is day 2 of the bleeding and the pregnancy symptoms continue,the nausea especially. I took a test last week which was neg but there many not have been enough HcG to tell so soon.

Any thoughts

Am I? Something is Different this Month?
As you can guess we are trying to conceive... well yet again I have gotten my Period... but there are some differences from what is normal... First of all my Period is a week early. Second, normally I get killer cramps that make me throw up because they are that painful... but this month there are no cramps and I'm just nausious. Lastly I have been peeing like horse for the past 3 days...Could I be preg? Should do a test. Oh and no Ta ta Tenderness... at all.

Well by lunch time my period was over everything was clean... and I'm still nausious...

I took a pee test yesterday and I know the chances are slim but today I looked at it and it had a line. Here's the situation. I was at work and after I looked at it at like 2 minutes I got mad and went back to work (I have a private bathroom so I was the only one so I just kept it in the cabinent) Anyway this morning I looked at it and it had the line. Is it possible? I'm retesting today but I have to wait until my lunch hour but just curious if any one else had been in this situation and what their outcome was. The line is definately blue but it is faint.♥ Please spare me any rude or retarded comments. Thanks♥

I had a baby about 4 months ago. I was brestfeeding for only the first month. Around August 9th I had my first period that lasted about 3 days. About 4 weeks ago my husband and I had unprotected sex but he didnt finish until we put a condom on. Now I am only 5 days late, but my mind is going crazy!! I dont think I can afford another baby right now. What should I do?

What is the average age that toddlers usally are fully potty trained?

My daughter is 2 1/2 and she's working on it. She will have her days where she will tell us when she's gotta go then there will be days she'll ignore us! Most of the time she'll tell us when she's got to go when we are actually out in public at a store or resteraunt.

Just wondering if she's getting to the point where she should ALREADY be fully potty trained?

Thanks!
