I am prego with 1st baby and since 10 days I get the charleys horse in mostly my left leg. It always starts in my pinky toe and tow finger and then moves up the nerve to my leg which is then a crampy pain type of feeling. It happens at any hour of the night. Starts slight, then strong and sometimes I have to move my feet to get the cramp to end. It it painful.. some are medium-mild pain, others are pretty painful though. I think of this as a good practice to get me ready to tolerate pain in labor as women have told me that labor starts out as period cramps and intensifies 15 times more or so. Well then these leg cramps or charleys horse whether mild or intense, I don't move I hold still and tolerate the pain. If I can tolerate that pain, is that fine then? Or am I crazy? I dont know. ANything I can do to relieve the charley horse that always starts up in my pinky toe and toe finger? if i wiggle my toe, sometimes the pain worsens. holding still generally makes the pain go

About 4 years ago I had an ovary removed but since then I have had regular periods. When my husband and I fool around we use a condom but most of the time he will go in without anything first.But just for a sec. I have now missed my period. It is late by about 2 weeks but i have taken 2 hpt and a blood test and all show negative.

Got a kinda cold, and keep feeling nauseous. had shot on 2nd day of peiod and was told that would cover pregnancy instantly, so didnt use extra pre caution. what do you think?

I am 27 and pregnant with my second child (first child is 12). Other than my husband, none of my family (or even his family) has been very supportive or offered any help (such as working on baby's room, buying items, etc.). Right now I don't really have many friends, I run a business and take care of my family and pets and that is about all I can fit in. The problem is I go to work (in three different counties) and people there are constantly asking me if I will be inviting them to my baby shower. Some of these people didn't pay a lick of attention to me until they found out I was pregnant. I never planned on having a baby shower and have been picking up needed items since I found out I was pregnant. I can't even afford to throw a party at this point since my insurance doesn't cover my pregnancy costs. So my question is - do I throw a party for all these people I don't really care for (my own family won't even be there) or just let it go and not have one???

My friend just called me, she is supposed to be a week or so behind me(I am 9 weeks), she went for her first ultrasound and there was a sac but no baby and she has to have a D&C. What does that mean and what causes it? Thanks so much.

A set of conjoined twins was delivered yesterday in Vancouver Canada. Parents named them Krista and Tatiana. They are connected at the head and share portions of their brains which will make separation hard if not impossible.

It's a tough decision, but would you carry to term knowing you were carrying siamese twins, especially when there was small chance of their being separated?

I'm currently pregnant with my second baby and I really don't want anymore kids, my fiance wants at least one more. I have tried talking to him about it but everytime I bring the subject up he gets defensive and asks why I don't want anymore of his kids. I'm 22 and I am working in a good lawfirm, I want to finish my schooling and just try to relax and enjoy my family without being pressured into having more kids. Any suggestions on how I can talk to him about it.

These people will come on here and ask questions about abortions, or want people to sympathize with them and feel sorry for them because they feel its their only choice. I realize we don't know the whole story but is abortion truely the right choice? I think it should be illegal to get an abortion. If you are irresponcible enough to have unprotected sex, or end up getting pregnant, I think you should own up to your responcibilties. There are people out there that can't have a child and would love to take the child and rasie it. But by getting an abortion you are depriving the child of life as well as cheating families out of a chance to have a family.

Wondering why they don't just give women a ball park figure instead of a date? It's so much b.s. People go over, people come in under. A healthy pregnancy can end anywhere between 37 and 43 weeks. Due dates can make a person feel bad, if early and just plain miserable if late late late. What do you think?

she's confused whether the 2nd dose should be taken orally or vaginally, and she's been told to take 400 mg by her doctor, but we heard that after 8 weeks it should be 800 mg taken vaginally?

which one is right? she already knows all the information about abortion and using mifepristone and misoprostol, and only wanted to know about the misoprostol dosage and route.

please help.

I'm not trying to wean him, I just want to have the option of giving him a bottle in case I need to be away for more than 3 hours.

It is my close friend. She always says that she is "physically" OK and has indicated that she does not want to speak about it much. However I feel talking about it and crying would give her closure - not clamming up.

I am also afraid she may be afraid to concieve again. Any suggestions, since I know she does want another child (she already has a 2.5 year old)

Hello... just curious, is there a time during the day/evening that is better to have sex when trying to concieve? And should it be once a day, twice a day... just curious... my husband and I have been casually trying to concieve for the past couple months and we havent had any luck... we got an OPK to try this time, and it was crap!!! It's the Answer brand... it detected an LH hormone for him!!!??!?!?! b/c we knew it wasn't working we just wanted to see how badly.... and other reccomendations???

Thank you for taking the time to read and answer my question... any help would be great!!! (As I have said before in my posts, we arnt telling friends or family, so I don't really have anyone else to talk to about stuff) we want it to be a surprise!

Today I overslept in the morning and did not take the kids(my son and his two cousins) to school until like 8:36am, since I always take them in the morning because I'm the only one who goes in at 9:00am to work. However, I did not know what to say at school and later thought that maybe I should of just told the truth, it can happen to anyone. I told the kids however to say that my car was having problems, and I wrote that on the Tardy reason.I just feel bad because one of my nephews had his 9 weeks test today and got there to just come back to the office because his class was already testing and I asked the receptionist and she said that they would not let him go in because test had already started but that they would let him make it up. I feel awful!
