Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 October 2006

i know this sounds silly. but i am a few days late with my period and trying to get pregnant. i really think i may be . but i have very light pregnant cramps. i don't usually get the cramps until i am on my period. but i have light cramps. Should i get a test or just wait it out? i am like clock work usually. so this is diff. Did anyone else get period cramps while very early pregnant. ?

find out the gender of your child during an u/s? My husband and I are going to wait until our anniversary (Dec 7). I will be 19.5 weeks along then. Do you think we should do it earlier? Later? Or is that a good time? The u/s tech said she thought that would be really special and a good time. Thanks!

My doctor is doing an utrasound Thursday to make sure it isn't an ectopic pregnancy. If it isn't will I be able to see anything? I know the baby is soo small and I just want to see it. Has anyone had an ultrasound this early and what did you see? Thank you,

pronounced as the car but with 'ah' at the end. I also like Gwendolyn (Gwen). Do you have any beautiful/unusual names that I could perhaps add to my list? =)

Our neighbors delivered a pumpkin to our 2 year old daughter that they grew themselves. How do I reciprocate this very kind gesture? I'd like to do something special that includes my daughters contribution as well.

Ok heres the deal. My boobs dont really hurt that bad yet the nipples kind of do though. they more or less have a bad tingly sensation and kind of a burning sensation. i was wondering if that was a sing of being pregnant. and when do your boobs swell up in early pregnancy?

I just had an emergency section, 2 1/2 wks ago. I am getting really depressed. It is causing a lot of fights between me and my husband. I don't think we are going to make it through this time. It has happened before.
I talked to the dr. She said that w/ everything I have going on, counseling would make it more stressful. I agree. I am taking antidepressants. I don't want to kill myself or anything like that, but sometimes I really wish I wasn't here anymore. My husband tells me to 'get over it'. and 'put it behind' me. wtf? How do I do this? How do I not feel like this anymore? I want to be with him, but the depression is making me tell him I want a divorce, when I really don't. But he doesn't understand. Someone, please help with this.

I am 9 days from my due date and I have 2 red dots on my belly and my doctor told me they were capillaries, has anyone had these? If so, what do you do for them and should I be worried about them breaking?

i have a so called friend who i used to get on well with a girlfriend of my boyfriend's friend. but all it seems is take take take from her side. earlier this year i thought i was pregnant and believe i suffered early miscarriage. since then me and my partner decided we wanted a family. my so called friend has just got pregnant which i am happy about but im sure you can appreaciate the hurt i feel. I tried to tell her i didnt want to see her while she was pregnant and smoking which i thought was fair, i do not feel able to watch her harm her baby which she blames the smoking on the fact her other child causes her that stress. she just told me i was selfish. do you think i am or do you think its her that is.

I have been on the pill since my daughter was born 7 years ago. We want to start trying for another baby now, and I am just curious about how long it takes for the birth control to get out of your system.

I went into the BR , went to wipe and have a light pink tinge. I am not spotting on thepanties YET, but I was 2 days late as of yesterday. I guess I will wait and see if I start a normal menstrual cycle after today. Anybody else have this and still turn out PG? By the way I am not stressed and I have never been late up until today.

little boobs..what kind of bra is appropriate at this age. she is 10-1/2. should i get a bra with a little padding so the nipples won;t stick out? she is very conscious about her body too. She said her arms are big..and that she's fat. well..she is 100 pounds and 4ft 9 and she's devastated this morning! I told her that she will grow taller and weigh less by the time she's 13 and that she is not fat. she's not fat. she's jut muscular..ohmyg! this is worrying me. as I don't want her to be unhappy. please help..what can i do? she eats healthy. I suggested that after school we could put on some music and dance for an hr to feel good mentally.
