Does an upper back ache have anything to do with labor? Im 39 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 hours i think i may have been having contractions...my stomach just tightens a couple times an hour but there is no pain, so can these even be contractions...i also been haveing alot of back pain and chest pain, can this relate in anyway. I dont want to jump to conclusions but what are contractions even suppose to feel like..sometimes i have a crampy feeling but ill also have a sharp stomach pain a couple times a day, this is my first kid and i really dont know what to expect...i would like an opinion from anyone on if this could be labor....or just more false labor..

So I read online that takin robitussin increases your cw. I am on day 10 of my cycle so today i took it once, yesterday twice, the day before once. Now ive read that there are certain ones to take. I took robi CF because i didnt know the difference. SO...now ive read certain kinds can lead to problems....How long will it take for this to clear my system...And whose doc has told them to do this, and why would they do that if it is potentially harmful......My ovulation is approaching, what should i do?

I recently went to the dr and she did all the blood work to see if everything is normal, and she told me to do ovulation tests. When I did the tests the first one would always have a light pink line, but then the rest of them would be negative. Does anyone know if one brand is better than the other for ovulation tests?

I normally have an irregular period, but it has been about seven weeks since my last one, which isn't normal. I've taken two pregnancy tests, and both have been negative.
Are there some tests that work better than others?
Should I wait another few weeks and see if I get my period?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I gave birth to my first child when I was 16 years old. My father made me give her up for adoption. This has really darkened my life but the bright side is me and my daughter communicate through email only with her adoptive parents' permission. (they read all the messages) My daughter is really given those people a hard time she really doesn't understand why she can't see me. We want to see each other really bad but I think we have to wait until she is 18. She is now 13. I was wondering do I have to wait until then ? She lives in Arizona and I live in Texas. Please anyone give me some advice. What can I do to see her ?

everyone says the epidural wears off before you actually have the baby and that its used to help u through contractions and not actually labor is that true.

I find it funny that they call it "pro-choice" because it is so hypocritical. Doesn't the child have a "choice" to live? Shouldn't the child be given the chance to decide if he wants to live or die? Pro "choice" to me means you "choose" if you want to have sex or not, you know what can happen when you do, so there's your choice. You aren't ready for kids? DON'T HAVE SEX! I'm sick of people calling it "PRO-CHOICE", because it's NOT!

I would like to know if anyone has breastfed and smoked cigarettes. And if so, is everything ok. I am 35 weeks pregnant and have smoked my whole pregnancy. My doctor says the baby is perfectly healthy. I seen in baby talk magazine that you can smoke, but not more than half a pack a day. I only smoke that much anyways. But I also seen on websites and stuff that you should quit if you breastfeed. I dont want to quit. If I did I would've done it when I found out I was pregnant. If it is not safe then I wont breastfeed. Please help me, I am in need of a decent answer!

I read a question about people who answer both prenatal and abortion questions. It seems to annoy quite a few people and I would like to know why? In my opinion this is a question and answers site--if you know the answer, you answer it. Why doesn’t a person have the right to answer both questions if they are knowledgeable about them? Why should people who are pro-choice not have children? I’m just curious.

In no means am I saying the original question asked is wrong, it’s just a question and I’d like further explanation.

I purchased a nite lite but she still does not want to sleep in her own bed. Or she will start out sleeping in her own bed and then i will find her in the morning in my bed.

He has quite a good vocabulary (about 50 words, no (of course), don't, please, thank you, out, up...) and usually follows direction or listens to breif explainations or cause and effect. Occasionally he'd throw screaming fits. No thrashing or anything - just the screaming the screaming! I wanted to go to the doctor and say " look he's already screamed 422 times this morning, what can I do!?" Then it went away, for about the last 3 months, then again in the last 2 weeks it's resurfaced. A new twist is now he'll try to scream as loud and long as possible, it's ridiculous, he's purple and I can't help but laugh to myself and say I can't believe I'm this woman. We do the time out thing - only a minute at a time.
