This is my 3rd baby, and a BIG surprise. I have moved on past being incredibly angry and enraged, to being semi-excited. I know a lot of people go on and on and gush over pregnancy, but for me, I could do without it. I really wish the baby could truly pick you and be delivered by a stork in a blanket.

I pee every hour. I don't feel right. I have high blood pressure, so I'm automatically "high-risk" and have to endure the joy of being scared $hitless by doctors about the what if's and could be's, despite that I have never had any issues and my BP always normalized in all my pregnancies somewhere in the middle. Then, I hate women, so it sucks for me to have to be feeling ultra grumpy and have to sit in a room every two weeks with about 10-15 other hormonal women in the doctor's office and everyone acts like we are all best friends in a special club, chatting about cervicses, ultrasounds, and bottle or breastfeeding!!!

I know. I'm just a bad person. No one else probably feels it.

Okay so I have a one year old son and his father lives in the same town as me in Connecticut but his the majority of his family live in Philly, PA. We were together when I told him that he could take our son out there to visit...now we aren't and I cannot change my answer. I trust that he will not let anything happen to our son but I am still really nervous. Is letting him go to meet his family that he's never seen (without me) the right thing to do???

I'm 20 weeks today. My waters broke and my OB says I will be in labour and give birth within the week. The baby cannot be saved. There is no amniotic fluid and the baby will not be viable until 26 weeks. Even if the baby miraculously kept living in there to 26 weeks, he or she would probably need to live in a bubble all his or her life, because there would be no lung development without amniotc fluid. This is what my DR says.

My question in order to try to prepare for this traumatic experience is the birth process: After I deliver this 20 week old baby, should I hold him or her and see if he or she was a boy or girl? Or will this hurt me more? Will I regret if I don't see him or her? My husband doeesn't want to, because he feels he's already distraught enough and thinks seeing the baby would do us in. Part of me wants to just deliver the baby and try to put it all behind me and never know anything about him or her but will I regret that the rest of my life? Please help if you can!

I can't keep any food down for the past 3-4 days. Also, I started BC (birth control) the same day I had sex. Is it possible to have signs/symptons this early? Otherwise could it just be side effects from the BC?

I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks in May.
I thought I was doing okay with it until this month. (I would have been due Nov 24th).
Has anyone else been through this? I find myself crying alot or waking up crying. I know I should feel lucky to have my daughter(shes 3) but I feel like Ive let her and my Fiance down by losing this baby.
Im so scared itll happen again..I have Lupus Anticoagulant and I know Im at higher risk of miscarriages. Can anyone tell me how they coped with losing their pregnancies.

My son won't nap in his crib. He will sleep there for about 15 min. then wake up. When I put him in his swing he will nap for 1 1/2- 2hrs. He is 4 1/2 months old. He sleeps in his crib at night, through the night. Is it bad to let him nap all the time in his swing? Honestly I don't want him to get use to it but what else do I do?

We bring the baby to visit her every week. When she gets her, she says (very rudely, I might add), "okay, you can leave now", and repeats it often. I'm not ready to leave anywhere without my baby and that deeply offends her. She's 3 months old now and this has been going on since she was born! The baby does NOT like it there and cries to the point of exhaustion unless I or the father hold her. She'd be crying because she's hungry, and this woman would not give her back to me! I choose to breastfeed exclusively. She tells me I BETTER put her on the bottle so she can have her all day. She got angry because I didn't call every day to let her speak to the baby. She pushes pacifiers and bottles and puts her to sleep on her stomach even after I ask her not to. I've made it clear that I want to raise her my own way, but she thinks the baby is spoiled and I should let her cry. She blames me when the baby cries with her. How do I get her to stop trying to take over and back off without a war???
