I had a baby 7 weeks ago. I have been breastfeeding since he was born and would like to continue to breastfeed until he is 6 months old. My midwife said the estrogen in birth control pills can affect my milk supply. I also do not want a birth control that will cause weight gain...any suggestions?

what did you feel during early stages of pregnancy? Lower back pain, mild cramps? Did you still get your period?

She told me that her name is May and that she is 4, her father died in the war, and mother in a car wreck. She wants May to live with my husband and my self so that she can always play with her. My cousin dose not live with us she lives with her grandmother and sees her mother sometimes. Should we be concerned or is this just a sign she has a good imagination

Ok so two weeks ago, I was certain I was pregnant. Every symptom, faint + test, etc. Period came 2 days early and with a vengence. PAINFUL and lasted 8 days, so i assumed miscarriage, which the dr. did as well. (just check up and I was early enough for my body to flush itself).
Now, im still having symptoms. Nausea getting progressively worse, tired, heartburn, etc. Took a digital test yeserday and got a 'error' message but the test strip had two definate lines.
Could I still be preg? Twins runs in the family, could I have lost just one? Still have the hGC in my urine from two weeks ago? Ectopic?
I will retest at lunch (im at work).
Im having a tugging at my lower right ovary side but not painful.
Whats your opinion?

Both my boys go to sleep between 8 and 9. Sometimes later. They take about a two hour nap in the afternoon almost every day. I've tried putting them to sleep later but it never fails they are up before 7 A.M. I want them to sleep longer so I can sleep longer. Should I quit giving them a nap? What other suggestions do you have? Much appreciated.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and I've only gained one lb. so far. I'm not complaining:), and I'm not worried about our (the baby and me) health. We are doing good:) But I'm a little worried about gaining a bunch in short period of time. I really haven't changed my eating patterns since becoming pregnancy, besides cutting out my beloved coke-a-cola:) Of course I try and eat better and more healthy things, but I do give into the tempting, high calorie foods:) I'm a size 12, but I am in maternity. What are some of your experiences? Stretch marks are a concern in gaining weight to fast. Will I just not gain that much with this pregnancy if I keep my same eating pattern? With my first pregnancy I had already gained at least 10-12 lbs. so far, and I'm sure my weight now has something to do with not gaining as much this time. Thanks for your answers:)

She's been miserable for most of the 3+ months she's been pregnant. I'm looking for ideas to ease her discomfort. something inventive beyond the typical stuff in the pregnancy books would be great. It's really hard to see her feel so yucky!

He wakes up all night!!! The other night he woke up 11 times between 10pm and 6am. He only takes 1-2 naps during the day 1 around 10am for maybe a hour and then again around 4pm for an hour. I try and let him cry/scream but he bothers the other kids. I hate it because the 1st half hour-hour after waking up in the morning to get the other kids ready for school I am real grumpy and it bites cause I know I am and I try not to be but every little thing pisss me off and I feel bad for my other boys. My other kids didnt sleep like this. And to top it off I am 8 months pregnant due Jan 21. Me taking naps during the day really isnt an option because the other kids in school in sports and other after school activies. My husband works 6-7days a week. The doctor dosent seem to think there is anything wrong with his sleep patterns.

I am fighting a war with my wife and her mother on how to dress our baby going from the house to the car. (outdoor exposure 45 seconds). I am convinced tha tthe baby does not need to be over dressed, Just a hat and a blanket should be enough, but they insist a sweater is needed, etc.
I need advice. Our pediatrician, insists that cold exposure has nothing to do with getting sick.
I am conviced that the more clothes the baby wears, the more sensitive to cold weather he will be in the future. Is tolerance to temperature genetic? or the body/mind learn with exposure? HELP!!
