Pregnancy & Parenting - 10 December 2006

My period is due in 3 days. Usually at this time I have cramps, sore breasts and pretty bad pms. I also usually have very little discharge.

This time I have no cramps, my boobs don't really hurt. I'm extremely wet. It's too late for me to be ovulating and the amount of vaginal discharge is so much I put on a pad. It's clear so I'm not thinking infection. I'm sooo tired. I seem really hungrey as well. Today I think I feel nausaus, but maybe that's just because I want to be pregnant.

My Fiance doesn't want to buy a test until after I'm late. So, do you think that these symptoms are enough to wonder if I'm pregnant?

This may sound odd, but it is a legitimate question.

My chest is a 34 A - not a whole lot basically. Can anyone tell me how this will affect my ability to nurse, if at all?

Will my breasts be able to produce enough milk to nourish a baby?

I haven't had any children yet and was just wondering. Thanks for any advice or help!

My fiance and I are leaving for St. George, Canada early next year to work.

We are planning to have our first baby when we get there but the problem is, we are not really sure if I could still keep my job while I take care of the baby.

Having a baby-sitter or nanny is an option but we really don't know how much it would cost to have one.. On the other hand, would it really be safe to have a baby-sitter or nanny while I go to work? What do you think?

My son's first birthday is this saturday, and we're having a HUGE party for him (ponies, petting zoo, jumping balloon, etc.). The only problem is I have no idea what games to play with the kids, or how many. It's a western themed party so I'm looking for games that go with that theme...any suggestions?

I have concerns that i feel i have to explain my decision, particularly to my husbands family who will probably not agree with my decision.

I feel judged by them and i havent even had the baby yet. I have considered breast feeding but know now that its not really for me. I will try it but my sister has 3 healthy children and all were bottle fed, as was i as a child.

Okay so I decided on my girls name Alexa Grace!

Now I dont know what I want for the boys name for sure.
My boyfriends name is Todd. I have decided that I would like that to be the middle name. He is over in Iraq and wont be here for teh birth, and I know it would mean a lot to him. So what names go good with Todd as a middle name??

He practically sleeps, but before giving in for a deep sleep he does such banging several times with short intervals between each one. Does anybody know why he is behaving in such way?

My husband cant seem to get excited! and my moodiness is driving him nuts. He promised me he would never leave me when I needed him, but apparently, I'm just annoying to him. I keep crying because he didnt kiss me good bye when he left. And I keep reminding him about his promise. Am I making it worse? What can I do to make it better for both of us? I dont want to sound too needy and too emotional. We have 5 pg tests that say I"m pregnant but he tells people that I might be. The dr. confirmed it. but he's in denial?

He is also going through the stress of getting our house situated and his new business started. Should I just keep hush about baby stuff until he clears his mind?

Didnt I say it....Very Emotional...hehe.

They never go away. so someone said lay on your left side to get the baby to shift over, well i do that and he does but i still have the pains. Is there any other reason why i could have them

2006-12-10 17:01:35 · 3 answers · asked by Jessica D 2 in Pregnancy

or harder?
I mean you dont have to ask anyone if (....)is ok to do, you dont need permission from the babies dad, you are the boss, you make all the descisions in your kids life.
Im not a single mom, but I think it would be easier as a single mom...esp, if your husband ALWAYS went against you like mine does...
Just to spite you.

Im due in june, no big hurry, but, having some problems with a boy name. If its a girl it would be Danica and her middle name Anne (which is my middle name, passed down from a 6 times great grandmother) so Danica Anne. I wanted 2 middle names, but my husband thinks its to much, for example (Danica Shayla Anne) too much?

BUT....... a boy? my husband doesnt want it to be named after him, but maybe I can intergrate it somehow?

I like :

Aiden,
Angel, and
Ramsey. (or Ramses)

what do you think?
I looove the name Aiden, but my husbands name is James. does Aiden James go well? or Maybe Aiden Ramsey.. Im stuck.

It is 10:45 where I live right now and early I'm sure I was having contraction not big ones but I had troubling standing up and sitting down. and the pain would last 30 seconds or so with each one. But this was a few hours ago and nothing much since then could have those been contractions or was it something different. I was due on December 5th. I'm hoping this is it, with my daughter I didn't feel my contractions till I was in full tilt labor.

Once upon a time, HPT's did not exist. (What people like us did in their spare time we may never know.)

To determine if a woman was pregnant, her urine was injected into a (female) rabbit. If the woman's urine contained hCG, the rabbit's ovaries would react by producing little pockets of blood. (These were harmless to the rabbit.)

Unfortunately, this was in the day before see-through rabbits, so the only way to see the ovaries was to kill the rabbit, cut her open, and peek inside. So, the rabbit actually died whether or not the woman was pregnant.

Somewhere along the line that little detail was lost, however, and "the rabbit died" became slang for "being pregnant."

He will be awake for 6 hours at a time starting at about 7 pm but getting worse at 9 and unbearable at 11. At first he is just fussy and then it escalates. The Drs have said it's just colic and it will go away in time. We are now a very unhappy family. I can't find anything on-line about babies this young and crying and sleeping - or letting them cry to sleep. Or what to do if choices seem to be disappearing.
He is formula fed - we've tried the soy and the lactose free. He seems to do best on the soy. Over the last 2 weeks - we have tried rocking, the bouncy chair, a drive in the car, a pacifier, holding him while he sleeps sitting up or lying down or however he seems the most comfortable, the swing, the crib, the bed, etc... all have not worked for more that 15 to 20 minutes.
We know that our baby is sweet and wonderful and this is just a phase but we don't want to hurt him in any way developmentally and we are all getting worn out!
HELP!
