I have read some things about postpardum depression. I don't think I have it , but some people have mentioned it to me. I always thought when a woman experiences this type of depression, she has thoughts of harming herself or her child. That is definately not me. I love my baby. She is only one month old, I also have a 5 year old and a 2 year old. I'm a little overwhelmed at times, but no more that what is to be expected. Could I just be a little hormonal? I am a little stressed out. I just feel like I'm not good enough to be a mom, and I hate the way I look period. There is nothing about myself that is attractive anymore. I feel like I have lost my femininity. Any advice or tips on how I can get over these feelings would be very helpful. Thanks.

Hi, At two weeks old my son was diagnosed with milk allergy. He was switched to soy formula but two days ago his dr said the diaper still tested positive for blood so she switched him to Nutramigen.
My1st question, is it possible he was misdiagnosed? I've been reading up on milk allergy symptoms and he doesn't seem to be exhibiting all of them. He's never vomitted and never had diarrhea while on cow's milk and soy milk. He's also been gaining weight. He was born 5lbs 14ozs and now at 5wks he's 9lbs 3ozs.The only concern i have really is his grunting (even while asleep) makes him all red and most of the time ends up with him crying. What else could be causing this?
My 2nd question is, with how fast did you see improvements when you switched to hypoallergenic formula.
Should i be consulting a GI specialist?

I have been trying to conceive for about a year and half (just recently gotten serious about it). When my husband ejactulates, it seems as if most of it spills out. It doesn't matter what position. When I do finally get up more comes out. I noticed this before but am now more concerned than ever, because I'm seriously trying to conceive, and getting older. My concern is, how can I get pregnant if the semen isn't staying inside? What can I do to resolve this? I don't know if there is a blockage or not. The olny thing that I am aware of is the polyp I have; which will be removed next week. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yesterday,at work, I pumped milk for my 12 week old infant. It was placed in the freezer and had slightly froze when I removed it at the end of the day. This morning I realized that I had left it in my bag. When I checked it, it still had a slight chill (not cold) to it. I opened it to check for a smell or a sign of spoilage, but there were none. I immediately refrigerated it. Is it safe for me to still give it to my child.

I am tired of geting called Ashley (no where near my name!) , Lauren (nowhere near my name!) , Jasmine (Take away the first last add one take away the 'e') , Yasamataz! (HATE IT EVEN MORE!) , Yazzy, and more. I go by a different name, I really want to like my name. Is there a porblem with this?

I'm looking for a Christmas present for my 15 year old step-sister. She is a really sweet girl and I would like to get her something nice. But I have no clue what is popular with 15 year old girls right now.

She already has a cell phone and i-pod. She is in to sports and plays soccer, but I'm not sure I want to go that route. Any suggestions?

Ok, I already warned u this question is gross, so anyway....

Why is it that every time my husband and I do the deed, about 5 minutes afterwards the semen comes out of me. Sometimes it won't be that quick either, sometimes it'll be hours later, and it's really nasty, why does this happen?

I don't think my family will be happy. I'm not in a relationship. I haven't even thought about my size changing and not being able to wear my new clothes I get for Christmas. I don't think I've got the time or money to support another human being. I'm a 33 year old male and haven't screwed for a few weeks. I think I have as much chance of being pregnant as most other people asking the same question on this site!!

I have a 6 week old baby who grunts all the time. My pediatrician says it is fine since she doesn't seem to be in distress. But my husband and I are concerned she has a need we are not meeting, especially since it seems to be pretty constant. Is it just normal "vocalization" or something else?
