How do you know if you are bleeding because your period is coming on or if the bleeding is the sort some women lightly experience around the time their period would have come on when they are actually pregnant? I know the easy answer is take a pregnancy test - but before I can go out and get one I'd just like to know if anyone else experienced light bleeding when pregnant instead of their period. My period was due almost 1 week ago and the light bleeding has begun today. Advice welcome please - excluding people telling me to buy a home preg test - which I will do if necessary, just want more info in the spotting sometimes experienced at the beginning of pregnancy thanks!

Hello everyone!
I live in France but am british and am finding it really difficult to choose a boys name that sounds nice in French and in English!!
What do you think of the first name Harvie ? or Harvey? same name spelt differently! In french it would be pronounced arvie as they never say the h but when he visits the uk it would be Harvey of course. Every name i like sounds terrible in french but I thought this sounded okay in both countries! My other son is called Leighton David (pronounced Layton) and David after his dad. If I have a son i thought Harvie Michael James (michael james after my brother), if it is a girl Jessica Kate (Jessie-Kate). Katie is my name.
Help! What do you think?? Thanks!

I just can't shift the feelings of mild depression now Im in 2nd trimester (18 weeks). Im convinced my relationship is not as good as it was, although nothing has happened to suggest this, I feel lonely, vunerable, insercure, ugly and boring. Im convinced my partner is bored with me being like this. I know most of this is in my head and I have spoken to partner about this, he says he loves me and nothings changed, that he is here for me. But i just cannot shake these feels off. I have been to doc, who says its just pregnancy hormones and it will get better. Did anyone else feel like this in 2nd trimester and did it get better?

I am 25 weeks pregnant with twin boys (!) all is going well apart from being soooooo itchy all the time. I expected to be itchy as my skin stretched over my bump but i didn't expect to be itchy up my arms, legs, back, hands and feet. Its getting so bad that it wakes me up in the night. I have tried calamine lotion which gives temporary relief. I am worried tho - people have told me about a liver disorder that can cause itching? I have had a blood test taken but i'm looking for some advice while waiting for the results!
Thankyou! xx

i am in a rough spot here and i want some help. i was seeing a guy for about two weeks. i got pregnant the first night we were together. i am 26 he is 28. he has one 8yr. old son, not at home. i have two boys,5 and 3. he thinks its best to terminate the pregnancy, i don't, but i am not out to "trap" him. if he wants nothing to do with the baby, and can't give it what it needs i am willing to live with that rather than end the pregnancy. how much should i take into consideration of what he wants, mainly cause its bad timing and he cant be there right now in anyway shape or form?

i am having some problems problems with my step daughter- she is 7. She will lie about the simplist of things... i have told her that lying wont get her anywhere except into more trouble..we have tried everything including

Stopping her from going to her grandmas - she used to go every weekend
clearing her room of all her toys - and keeping them away from her for weeks.
Stopping her from watching the telly
No allowing her to have any sweets
warning her that if hse carries on being naughty then santa wont come to her,
we have spanked her butt too
grounded her

None of these work, she isnt bothered about anything. She has told people i punch her, i have been to the doctors and they said she just wants her independance, but the thing is she wont do anything for herself unless we tell her to. I have to tell her in a morning when i get her up for school to go and have a wash, then i have to tell her to get dressed. We have had the same routine every day for the past 3 years, get up get washed, get dressed then have breakfast then we leave for school. Though she still hasnt got into the habit of doing it, she messes around every morning, she stands in the bathroom for about 15 minutes just with her hands in the water, messing around... if anyone knows of anything else i can do please tell me

Also we dont expect her to be perfect, no kid is, but her behaviour is getting really bad and it doesnt matter what we try nothing works..
