Im 29+ weeks and have had period like pains and hip pains (plus sharp pains in my crotch.)for days today i have been having contrations 5-10 min apart for the past few hours and im not leaking water but every time I sit it feels like a gush up inside and everytime I sit on the tolet something always comes out (every time , i have sat there for ever and something is always leaking out.) with the contractions I have lots of back pain. Does this sound like labor or just pain? I dont want to go to hospital for nothing, but dont want to risk it if it is. Oh and also my whole stomach feels tight and uncomfortable, what do I do?

My 5 month old son now refuses to take formula, although he has taken it occasionaly in the past. He was on formula for three days due to breast milk jaundice at about 1 month. He also took it at about 3 months which unfortunately coincided with a stomach virus that led to vomiting for about 12 hours. Is it possible that he now associates the taste of formula with getting sick? I have tried a few different powdered brands and mixed it with breastmilk but he refuses anything with formula. He won't even eat his rice cereal if it's made with formula. He will take breastmilk in a bottle, but now he's starting to refuse that, as well. Does one formula or preparation taste better than the others?

Okay im just curious....Ive read some links online about how males have bio. clocks as well and the age of them matters when having a child. Is it true that the older the male the higher risk you carry of a birth defect? Lower sperm count and "mutated" sperm? What age is too old for a man to have a child? THANKS :)

We just bought our daughters a playset and need to mulch beneath it. People always say we should use rubber mulch, however the area we are looking to cover is rather large and rubber mulch would cost us thousands (like 2-3) and I can't rationalize the expense. Has anyone used rubber? Beyond not needing to replace it, are there other benefits to make it worthwhile? Or should we just go with cedar, as we are leaning that direction

I feel really guilty after, you know, masturbation. and I really want to stop. I know it's okay, and it can be healthy, but I really want to stop. I hardly ever do it, maybe once a month, but still. Any tips on how to stop?

i posted a question called "what should i do?". i think you should read it then return to this question. Mark just asked me to the fall dance that my school has for all the eigth graders every year. Michael doesn't have a date yet but i think he's gonna ask Chelsey. she is nice and she is one of my friends but i know that she does hurt a lot of guys feelings. basically she's a player. i used to like Michael a couple of years ago and i also liked Mark then. but i recently i found out that i really like Mark. Michael doesn't like me anymore but we are like some of the closest friends. one of my bestest friends, Jessica likes Cruz and he asked Cassy to the dance so i'm trying to calm her down. but i'm having trouble figuring out my own feelings. but i not exactling sure if Michael doesn't like me anymore because Mark ask me before anyone asked anyone. i'm really confused.

she went into the hospitol with bruised and swollen feet. the doctors at first (of course) thought she was abused. but tested for allergies, diabetes and other things. on day 2 they rulled out abuse because while in their care her arms and legs began to swell and bruise and now on day 3 her neck and face. they ruled out allergies and diabetes.
they thought it could be HSP...but have ruled that out as well. she seems to be in so much pain and they keep taking blood (which hurts her) and taking different test after different test. they can not find anything wrong. except that she is bruising and swelling in front of their eyes.
please if you have heard or seen anything like this before explain.
her circulation seems fine.....it's a mystery right now.
leaving the family feeling very helpless.
she has a twin brother who is healthy. he can not go to the hospitol to be with her due to it being rsv season. both babies obviously miss the other.
please help.

I am 4 months pregnant, and was prescribed a medication for a bactrial infection by a midwife that works in my OBGYN's office. My doctor was backed up and I was in a hurry, so I saw the midwife, who prescribed this medicine, but when I got it, I read that it said not to take while breastfeeding, or prenant. It says not to take at all during the first three months and only with caution during the last six months. I was wondering if anyone has ever been prescribed a medication by their OBGYN while pregnant that says not to take it, and did it cause any problems with your pregnancy? Thanks!!

Like a library.
Kids will be able to check out hamsters, mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, assorted reptiles and birds, try them for 2 weeks and return them before they become a hassel to parents.
Not dogs or cats of course, but the caged pets kids beg for then lose interest in.
Parents will buy a "library card" to cover them not bringing the pet back. That fee will be refundable when they return the pet. There will also be free pick up service.
Then there will be a smaller charge for each pet they borrow.
I will include care sheets and everyone will sign waivers for when the animals bite the kids or damage anything.
What do you think?
What would you pay? For the "card" and the rental?

I have the clear vaginal discharge which I believe is related to ovulation. My partner and I had unprotected sex last night. I want to know if I have sex the same day I ovulate does pregnancy occur right away or take a few days. How long does it take for the egg to get to my uterus?
I have had 3 kids, but never really tried for any of them. Now I want to but not sure how to calculate it to work out.

last night i woke up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom as usual but when i got up, my side was cramping really bad. i couldn't even go back to sleep. and then it seemed like it took my baby longer to move than normal. he's usually really active and already kicking me non stop in the mornings but this morning he hasn't moved as much. i'm a a little over 34 weeks pregnant. i was just making sure that pain in my side was something normal. has anyone experienced this or something like this?
