Has anyone had a pregnancy scare where they were making themself believe they were pregnant 1-2 weeks before a missed period? But in turn, they were just hardcore stressing and thinking that the nausea, fatigue, and sore breasts was signs, when really it was just because of excessive stress and constant thought of 'what if'

What is your opinion on this..... every year my husband and I get a few gifts each for our three kids, but my mom goes nuts. She gets tons for each and it upsets my husband. It doesn't really bother me, but he feels it's too much. What's your opinion?? Thanks

I was at L&D yesterday for 8 hours. Contractions coming every three minutes and 1-2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. Baby is big-measuring at 36 weeks. They said there is no way I am going to make it to my EDD in Jan. When do you think baby will come? They gave me turpeline to stop contractions--but gave me nothing for home and they didn't put me on bedrest. So I guess I am on my own. Any ideas or thoughts on when baby will come? This is my 4th.

We have a routine, As soon as I mention, bath or bed he starts screaming no no no. I carry him up the stairs without saying a word while he is screaming and kicking (very tiring) once in the bathtub he plays and is happy until I start saying, "All Done?" He starts screaming again! I take him out without saying a word wrap him in his towel and brush his teeth, he calms down until I pick him up and head to his room. I lay on his bed with a book, not saying anything except, "Do you want a book?" When he calms down, I read. We give hugs and kisses and I turn off the lights and shut the door. As soon as I say, "The End. Can I have a kiss?" he starts screaming! He comes out of his room 2 - 8 times after that and we pick him up without a word and put him back in bed. The only other thing I can think of is punishing him, but he's two. During the day we use time out, in this situation it would be a reward to sit in time out instead of laying in his room! Help!

And I took a pregnancy test yesterday. One was negitive and one has two lines..but one you can hardly see and its not pink like the test line..should I retest in a few days? Or just assume its negitive?

I should have my period in 2 days if Im not pregnant.

Had an ultrasound last week and they saw a heartbeat and a sac. She had a little bleeding a few weeks ago but the dr said it was an implantation bleed. She is not bleeding now, the tests were really dark for the last few weeks and now they are getting lighter. We have an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow but still not sure if we should be concerned. I heard HCG levels peak but is 7 weeks too soon?

One of the reason I hear some women say they would abort a pregnancy is because they don't want to bring a child into the world becaused it would not be wanted or loved by the mother. That sounds like a made up mine to me. I have children whom I sometimes wish I didn't have; and that feeling may last a day, a week, or more, hell, I feel that way about my wife sometimes. But, somewhere along the lines I remember the day our babies exited my wife's womb, and all the anxiety I had came to a end. Now our children are a extension of us.They are not the cancerous growth we thought they would be and had them removed before it was illegal. I thank God that my wife did not listen to me.

i would think so because not only do you need to know if your really pregnant but do you have any Diseases thus far that can complicate your pregnancy?

We've looked in Dorothy Perkins, Next, Topshop, Debenhams and all the rest.

She'd either have to just buy a normal coat 4 sizes too big or go without, because there aren't really any out there.

The only one we did find for her, she complained looked like an upside down umbrella. Silly I know.

Ok...I've been exclusively pumping for the last 3 months. Last week, I decided to stop pumping. I let myself get engorged and everything and didn't pump for two days. Then, I started regretting my decision, so I tried to pump twice and nothing came out (then I cried). Two days after that (last night) I felt a little engorged, so I pumped..and amazingly, I got 6 oz out! BUT..the milk was watery looking. So my question is...If I pump every 2 hours or so now, is it possible that my milk will fully come back in? Or was that a fluke? I desperately want it to come back.

One more question...how often should I pump to try to get it back. Can I pump every hour, or do I need to wait and do it every two hours?

Thanks in advance for your answers.
Mandy

My son is 8 years old, and the kids bullying him are the same age. I could beat them easily, and they deserve an unfair fight since they're bullies. Should I do it?

I have tried time outs, spanking, and ignoring. He has also learned to tolerate hot sauce and soap. Every time he doesnt get his way, he spouts off F-bombs, and G'D's like a pro. We also don't let him hear bad language as much as possible. We even told him they were "grown up" words. I have 2 other boys and neither of them went through this stage, so I don't know what is left to do.

This past weekend, the babies heart beat was fine, blood tests were fine. The baby did measure a bit on the small side and an ultrasound supported that. The lack of movement......what is this? could something be wrong with the baby? I am feeling fine, I do not feel sick or pain. Please what do you think could be wrong?
