At 7 weeks my hcg level was 33,000 my doc said that was high but nothing to worry about. I have heard higher levels can indicate a multiple pregnancy does anyone know about this i am kinda in the dark here. I already have three little girls and am terrified at the thought of having more than one more baby right now?

I have had a severe tooth ache for days now, I went to the dentist and they said that they thought my teeth were just being sensitve to pregnancy. But after a few days I could not take the pain . I went back in today, and they did a exray, but they double vested me. Do you think that is ok? I am only 7wks pregnant, so I worry cause the baby is still forming? And they gave me penicillian, they found that i had such a severe infection that it went into the bone. But should I be worried about the exrays, and being on penicillian?

I am 19 and miscarried at the age of 18 last January... It was rough at first that was pregnant but we were all looking forward to it. it is still so hard to wake up everyday knowing my baby would be here with me if it didn't happen... i no i shouldn't think that way, and I no it could have been worse but its just so hard....What can i do to get my mind away from it? I just can't wait to be a mom....
recently its been real hard.. two of my friends are pregnant and I think why them, why not me? I talk to my fiance about it and he says it will happen when it happens and he looks forward to having one soon... I think i am having a hard time because how I felt when i was pregnant. I try to be patient and stuff but i sometimes get a little impatient, especially because I almost had my chance! I do look at the situation as, well it wasn't my time and there could have been something wrong with the baby.... and everything happens for a reason... I just don't no what to do..

I'm doing my English coursework, and for it I've decided to do a leaflet from a reformed teen drinker/ drug user, of questions and answers about why, how, or anything else that you would like to know.

Please could you post your questions, so that i have an idea about what real parents want to know?

Thanks,
Franakin.

nurse. Then after being awake for less than an hour he gets cranky and needs to take a nap. His naps last anywhere between half an hour and two hours and he gets cranky just as fast after a long nap compared to a short one. This cycle goes on all day sleep an hour wake an hour, sleep an hour wake an hour. Trying to get him to take a nap is not easy sometimes as he likes to fight sleep, And I have to get him to nap 5 or 6 times a day. So, I was just wondering what kind of routine other three month olds have.

I want to buy a birthday gift for my daughter when she turns one, but not something so expensive that my wallet breaks. My mother did this for me, and I still had the pearl earrings, but I lost one of them inside my house. I don't want to make her feel guilty if she loses them. What is the best place or site to look for these items. Bracelet, ring, earrings,necklace.

PLEASE HELP I NEED HELp?
I need help! I made a few posts about a guy I REALLY like. Well, I'm falling for him even more! He's cute, funny, and nice. My friend asked him if he'd ever hang out with me and he said yes! I was so happy! Then, my other friend asked him if he'd date me(I wanted to kill her) and he said probably not. Well, just today I found out that everyone knows. I'm so embarassed! I mean, why would anyone care about a loser's private life? http://www.myspace.com/thekatesteinberg... look at all the pictures. Do I look like a loser? I mean, I think I am, but I don't know. I also have no self confidence and blame my looks for why he probably won't go out with me. Please help! I've never been in love before! Well, today my friend told me he said I was a stalker. I got so upset that for the whole day I've told everyone that I don't like him anymore. I told them he's ugly, concieted, and a jerk. The truth is: I LOVE him. I just feel like it'll be akward around him if he thinks I

I adopted him a few years ago. He has been in therapy for a few months. Went with him the other day and seems he spends all his time in there complained about total BS (like too many chores..like trash and empty diswasher are taxing) and plays out this whole victem thing. He will do dishonest stuff, manipulate, and then when he is snagged, he REFUSES to hold it and be accountible. I have set up reward systems, mirrored making a mistake and owning it happily, talking to him, etc etc. I am at my wits end. I have asked him what the worst is that can happen and I get nothing. Are there any experienced parents or therapists out that that can shed some light on this for me? Know that this is a very good, stable, open and loving home.

Just a quick question. Will I ovulate early on Clomid or around the same time? I just too my last dose of Clomid today. My last period was October 27. Also did anyone have an upset stomach all the time and didnt want to eat on this drug?

I have 3 children ages 9,8 and 6. We are trying for my fourth child. I was really young when I had my children. My first one was 3 months premature weighing only 2lbs. I pumped to get the colostrum out and to him. I never have tried breast feeding. My husband wants me to try it. I am on the go all day long. I have 3 other children and I love spicy food. I'm also scared it will hurt because I remeber it hurting when I pumped. I know it is a healthier choice for my baby, but my children are perfectly healthy and they used formula. Any suggestions?

My friend is due to have her first baby any day. Her mother has been dating her boyfriend for 1 year, she wants her boyfriend to be called "grandpa" by the baby and family.

My friend and her husband do not want this guy to be called the grandpa of their child. They are not close with him and feel uncomfortable with the idea, especially since they only knew him a month when she got pregnant and he is not married into the family.

My friend's mother says she plans to marry her boyfriend in the next 6 months so they need to get use to the idea of him being the baby's grandpa. My friend's father (who would be the biological grandpa) is dead.


Do you think my friend should just let the guy be called grandpa?

I will be having my second baby in April and he/she will be just less than 2 years younger than my current little boy. What do I need to know about having kids this close together? I am very excited but imagine it is going to also be quite a challenge with a newborn when I have another one that is still so little; and then as they get older I imagine it will be great that they can play together, but am sure jealousy and fighting will some into play too...

Thanks for your advice and tips!

I have recently stopped taking the pill (about a month ago) and I have had unprotected sex with my fiancé. My LMP was on Sept 26, 2006 and I am pretty regular every 28 days to be exact. My breasts have been sore and I have been going to the bathroom more and I think that my areolas are a little darker. I know that there might be a chance I could be pregnant but I want/need the advice of other mothers to help me out. I have taken a few home tests and I have a doctor visit on Nov 10. I am very worried and if I am pregnant then yes I will be very happy about but right now I am just starting to get scared.
