Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 October 2006

I had a miscarriage on June 23, 2005 at 14 weeks, and it was the most emotionally and physically painful experience I've ever had in my entire life. I was 36 years old at the time, was not planning on having another child, but wound up pregnant. When I m/c, I was devestated (and it's still hard to deal with at times). The doctors and pathology report never could say with any certainty why I m/c, but I know that my baby son was perfect. So it must have been something about my body that did not allow him to develop to term. Well, I found out today that I'm pregnant. I don't know how to deal with it. I want to be happy, but all I can think about is loosing this baby too. How can I stop being so full of fear and dread, and start feeling the usual excitement of pregnancy and motherhood and new baby?

I only get this pain right in the evening. I am fine during daytime. Your response regarding this would be appreciated. Is this normal or common during early pregnancy.

I'm a mother of 2 girls(ages 8 and 5).I'm planning to divorce my husband(don't worry about the children's feelings,they don't love their father and don't mind).With the 8-year-old we usually have 'girl talks' and talk about finding a lover or a rich husband.My daughters want a new father,different than the biological.Would you recommend me where can I find a nice person to marry?

that finds ultrasounds umbearable.I dread them simply because betime i drink the litre of water and then hold for an hour im basically peeing myself before i even get in the room.I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life i don t even get time to enjoy the pictures of my bub cos i just rush the doc along through it so i can go pee.Maybe my bladder fills quicklier than others.

I broke up with my boyfriend today and he was MAD. Is that the way it's supposed to be? Shouldn't he be sad? I asked him if we could just be friends and he said "Is that the best you can do?" He was really rude about it and so I feel like I did the right thing... except I took a load of bull from him.

Should I have hung up? I want to know if I'm supposed to tell everyone everything or just leave it as something simple like, "well.. he was just immature." I broke up with him because we have extremely different religious/political views and... well I just don't like him!

Is that a good enough reason to break up with someone? Something just didn't feel right and I didn't care enough to fix it. Does that make me self-centered?

And why did he tell me I deserve for him to tell everyone that I'm a lesbian?

I don't think she is, I love her and i know she loves me and I make sure she has everything she asks for and needs, but she has a very bad attitude since shes been pregnant, she is 7 months, my family met her for the first time and there were not many words said but a lot of judging, they tell me she is controlling me and she has me right where she wants me, but i don't see it, they say love is blind i know but is she really controlling me or are they saying they because they want to protect from getting hurt, taken advantage of

I was told by a mother of a 2 year old that when her baby was cranky and not sleeping at night she put a teaspoon of baby applesauce into her formula to help her sleep. Has anyone else done this or heard of it?

I got off Alesse 28 Birth control 5 months ago, and I have always have very heavy periods on and off birth control. Last month I was a week late and I just spotted. (Not to be gross, I just had to use pantyliners through the whole thing) Me and my husband are trying, but I know it can take time when getting off BC. I took a preg test a day before the spotting began and it was Neg. Any advice on why I just spotted last month? I have never had a period like that before even getting off BC in the past.

The pain worsens when I try to breathe or use my abdominal muscles. Is it just the baby moving around? I am 26 weeks and have not experienced anything like this before about 25 weeks.

Okay...I did not see a doctor until I was 26 weeks Pregnant (not b/c i didn't know i was pregnant...i didn't have insurance, but now i do). I saw an obgyn and had the first session with him and he did the whole exam and everything and i went back the next week for the ultrasound...its a boy!! (p.s. this is my 2nd child...thats why i'm not too freaked out by not going to the Dr) Anyways I went back 2 weeks ago for a routine exam and was completely pushed aside and treated badly (see one of my previous questions "was it wrong to leave my dr's app.) anyways i decided to find a different Dr. and now NO ONE will take me b/c i am so far along...what should i do...i seriously would rather wait until the baby is due and i'm having contractions to go back to a Dr or hospital...but i know that there is a possiablity that there might be something wrong with me or the baby. going back to the doctor i saw b4 is not an option...what actions should i take now?
