hi everyone. i really have been feeling down about myself lately. I am student at a nursing school and i feel completely plain compared to all of the other gorgeous girls. I really need some opinions. Here is my myspace look at my pictures {please} and tell me what I can do to change the way I look. I am 140 pounds and 5'5. that is a healthy weight and I am sort of happy with that. I just want to know how to do certain small things with makeup to help me stand out a little more. I feel really plain and even sometimes ugly. Any tips would be helpful thanks so much!

I've had depression for a very long time and i'm taking two different types of anitdepressants and an anti anxiety medication to try and cope with this pregnancy. The problem is, i have a daughter who just turned 1 and i wasn't actually happy to have her in my life until she was 9 months old. We got pregnant very quickly when we decided to try again, which i wasn't totally on board for in the first place. Honestly, we are an LDS family and we had the feeling that we should have another baby. So now i'm 11 weeks and i've been hoping for a miscarriage the entire time. i feel to awful about it because i know we are doing the right thing, but i'm very overwhelmed and i'm only 21. Is there anyone else who has felt this way because i feel crazy and guilty every day and i'm on every medication i'm allowed to take. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any thoughts or has ever been in this situation, i would love to hear from you. Thanks!

you look like you could just have gained weight and lost your figure... you are showing, but you just look overweight? How long does that last?

He is a very healthy, normal boy. Whenever my mother asks him why he's doing that, he won't answer her. When he blinks them like that, he shuts his eyes hard and then opens them right away. Then a couple seconds later, he does it again... For 3 days!! My mom said that she's going to take him to the doctor tomorrow, but she wanted me to ask everyone on here...
Does anyone know why he might be doing this?

***SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!***

nothing is her fault. She feels like the victim when the school disciplines on the playground. I know little girls are about the drama... but is it normal for kids around grade two to think they are never wrong and it is all someone elses fault?

I am 5 months pregnant. My partner's friends are having a pool party for Christmas eve (live in Australia) and have invited us. I know there will be lots of skinny girls in bikinis and i am not very confident at the best of times. I am of average weight but since being pregnant have a lot of cellulite and uneven tones in my skin. Are there any "quick fixes" to make me feel more confident in myself?

The Dr said to pour baby oil in her ear and leave it there! That sounds weird to me. But she says it's plugged and she's always asking "What?" after I say something. I'm thinking she probably can't hear very well. What's an easy painless way to get the wax out?

I went to the OB today and apparently, I am 5 weeks pregnant. I took the home pregnancy test on Saturday, which came out positive, only to get into a car accident on Saturday evening. Luckily, I feel fine. No broken bones or bruises, externally, at least. The fact that miscarriages are so common is causing me to stress out! I know I shouldn't stress, because it's bad for the baby, but being that it's my first, I can't help it. I used to be extremely tired all day, even after sleeping 10 hours each night before, but this tiredness seems to have disappeared the past few days. No morning sickness. Only sore breasts when touched. I don't have any cramping, either, so I'm trying to rule out a miscarriage. Is it possible to have miscarriages without the cramping? I've heard that it could take up to 3 weeks before you start to bleed out the miscarriage. I had one slight cramp yesterday, but it only lasted for a second, so I'm guessing that's just my body stretching. Am I being too paranoid?

She got a triple test for a baby that the hospital thought was 18 weeks old, but was really 17 weeks old. She tested positive on this test with a 0.83% chance of Down Syndrome. Do these results really differ from the 17th week to the 18th week?

Just curious if there is anyone out there who became pregnant after their husband/boyfriend had a vasectomy reversal. My husband is planning on getting one in a few months and I was wondering if it was easy, how long it took, and what to expect with the surgery. Anyone?

My daughter will occasionally cheat during a game of Candyland or stack the deck for Uno. While her father is very worried that this dooms her to a life of dishonesty, I believe it is a normal part of development. Of course, I don't tolerate this, and she is slowly learning that no one wants to play with a cheater. I know this is not an overnight process, so it may take her a while to catch on. Isn't this normal?

Hello All & Thanks (Upfront). I just went 2 court today & got results of a paternity test (father denied child as his own) & then I was awarded child support -once proven he was the father. I live in N.J. & am currently unemployed after being put on bed rest & then "let go" from my position- once I was not able 2 return back 2 work (due 2 the baby & complications). The place of employment only hires in the spring, so I'm patiently waiting for positions 2 open up (Because I'm trained in my field of work). My question 2 you is, will I get awarded more in child support once I start work in the spring? A friend of mine said yes, but I'm not 2 sure as 2 why?
Example. He now makes $1100. *before taxes a week & I make 0.00
When I start working I'll make about $800. - $1100. a week before taxes & he will be making the same $1100. a week.
I dont understand & honestly not even sure if it's the case, but if so - why by me working will I get more in support? Due 2 daycare expenses or what??

My 4 week old wakes up from her sleep screaming. She will scream until she either burps or spews, which normally takes a very long time. She screams after she has her bottle, we have tried various formulas, and doesn't easily burp then either. Her screaming has lasted from around 9.00am to 2.30pm today. She also has an unsettled period from around 8.00pm-10pm at night.

She doesn't seem to take a full feed properly. She will drink some, won't burp, fall asleep and wake up screaming again. She sucks on her bottle, but doesn't seem to actually swallow properly, and she gets so much in her mouth she coughs and splutters. I have the slowest flowing teats, and the cap on the bottle done up as tight as it will go - the milk still runs down her face.

I've tried gas drops, cycling her legs, rubbing her belly, changing positions when burping her, holding her upright, warm baths, warm wraps on her belly, changing the temperature of her formula... it seems like I've tried everything!
