Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 December 2006

I don't know where to start. When I got pregnant with my first son I weighed 120 went up to 156 18months later I was 142 then I got pregnant with my second son and in my first 3 months went down to 130 I was 156 when I had him and now I am 146. I don't really mind the pounds as much as my (Momma Flab). My goal is 130 but I really want a flat tummy. HELP!!!

I've noticed some of you said that babies have rosy cheeks when they are teething... Was this true for your little one? I didn't know this but have noticed that my son's cheeks have been rosy here lately and hes been "chewing" on his thumb. He really isn't cranky though. Teething maybe? He is 6 months old.

Good morning Ladies!

I just had a general question. I am awaiting the results from a Blood test. I am certain that I am pregnant and that is why I am going to ask all of you who have been pregnant this question. I noticed today while taking a shower that my vaginal canal has moved down a bit. The anterior wall of my Vagina is lower and I can feel my Gspot closer to the vaginal opening. My cervix is in the same position though. I am in no pain and have no bleeding or other symptoms (except the obvious pregnancy symptoms). Has this happened to you? Please let me know what you think. Thanks and Merry Christmas

my sister in law told me that her friends are sending their 4 children to private school, and in the back of my mind I'm thinking, yeah right. This woman couldn't even afford to pay for a serpentine belt 3 months ago (I work at the shop she got her car fixed at), how is she going to pay for 4 kids in private school. My sister in law tells me that her friends are doing so great and they are making 8,000 a month and they are going to retire. Here I am thinking my husband makes 4,500 a month, we have a car note and a mortgage. We save 1,500 or more, but we have two children. How could someone afford to pay for 4 kids private school? Do you think my sister in law is just trying to get on my nerves about this. When she is talking all I hear is " I'm better than you, our Quixtar business is doing great." Who knows about Quixtar, is it crap? My husband and I tried it, but we got scared since his brother works and talks like a machine.

We don't know if you could be pregnant! Go get a test and figure it out yourself! COME ON LADIES! Isn't this the most ridiculous question women ask on here?

Approximately 10-12 days past ovulation, I started spotting. I spotted for about ten days and then got a very heavy period (passing clots--terrible cramps) for two days. It then subsided into a 'regular' period flow that lasted longer than normal (7 days).

I tested during the spotting twice and got negative results. I would assume it was an annovulatory cycle BUT my breasts were extremely tender and sore during the pre-menstrual spotting. I usually get tender breasts before menstruation but these were out of this world sore.

So, do you think I had an early miscarriage or an annovulatory cycle? I'd love to hear your experience if you you've dealt with either...

My son who has mastered rolling over, crawling, standing and being swquirmy, therefore absolutely HATES being on the change table for a diaper change. I can sometimes distract him with a toy or something, but that doesn't always work... Do any of you mom's have any other tips ? It's so frustrating when he's trying to roll over all the time, and I can't get the darn thing on properly. (He's 10 months).

My cycles are usually 30 days apart my period in Aug. was on the 28th but in Sept. I started on the 18th I think maybe due to alot of stress.I know the exact dates of sexual intercourse, it was on september 30th and October 8th and 9th which one of these do you think would be the most likely conception date?

Ok, here's the situation..my girlfriend came home the other night. she said she was feeling heat flashes, stomach aches, nautcious, and a fever..she walked into the house and then threw up for 25 minutes. Later that night we had unprotected sex and i came in her again. She has another child already and told me the last time she felt that way was when she found out she was pregnant. She then asked me to go out and get a test. I did, a digital and line one..both came up neg. Her period was suppossed to be 2 days ago on the 5th. We have been moderatly active this month with no protection at all. The month before we were also but nothing happened. We would love to become pregnant but im not sure with the symptoms she has now if she is or not. She's late and feeling some sypmtoms of preg. but the test came out neg. twice.!! im planning on waiting a week but im sweating everyday out until then...constantly asking how she feels or had her period. Any thoughts..i'm very concerned and curious.

Today I took 2 pregnancy tests, which both came back positive. I have been feeling very nauseous today. I didn't feel as nauseous when I was pregnant with my son, who is now 11 months old. But I know that every pregnancy is different. Any advice welcome. Thanks in advance

There are days where I will feel her every couple hours or so and then there are days where I don't really feel her a all. I haven't felt her kick since last night, and it was only about 2 or 3 kicks during the middle of the night.
