(I am not judging anyone. I am simply curious.)

Did you try breastfeeding before you decided to formula feed?

I guess I forgot to say that I am recently married, 5'5", 127 lbs., and I work out 3 times a week. My husband is 6'6" , 155 lbs (no fat at all and healthy as a dam horse. I have 6 sisters and 5 brothers and all are living in good health. My grandparents lived to be in their 90's and my parents are still living in great physical shape. Our family is so huge at thanksgiving we rent a hall for our dinner. So my husband, my 3 year old and myself have a lot of love and support from the family and it looks like we live long lives judging by our parents and grandparents. We are in great financial shape and willing to take the risk. If anything ever happened to either of us, our 3 year old and my new baby will not be alone. All of the family has made out wills in case of a bad situation. I went to the doctor and he gave us the ok. I have all the right stuff still working to get this party started. Just wanted to see what everyone thought of the idea. Thanks for your opinions.

I am 25 weeks pregnant, I am not dilated or effaced and I am under medical care so please don't tell me to see a Dr. b/c I am also married to one! I have been spotting and contracting since T-giving which goes away after putting up feet and drinking water. I am just wondering if any WOMAN has heard of a discharge during pregnancy that was pinkish/brownish in color but not blood. I am seeing my O.B. every 2 wks. but I stop spotting right before I see him and then he says he sees no blood cells under the scope (!?) I am about ready to drive to his office and show him my pad the next time it happens, arrrgh help!!

my last baby was born premature because of too much amniotic fluid. Her fontanels were way wider than they should have been and it was really scary for a time although everything turned out ok and she is fine now. I am pregnant again and am afraid that this may happen again. Does it usually repeat? I used to drink literally a gallon of water a day with my last pregnancy, but now am afraid to drink too much even though my doctor says it has nothing to do with water retention. What casues it and how can I prevent it from happening again? I REALLY want to carry this baby to full term.
Thanks for any suggestions.

my boyfriend just had a baby by his now ex about 2 weeks ago and ever since then so many things have changed, i expected a few things to change, but not the way he treated me. He treats me so differnetly now we fight just about every day he doesnt call me any of those cute little nicknames he used to call me and he doesnt say he love me like he used to..it just doesnt sound the same he used to call me back after just hanging up just to hear my voice one more time before he went to sleep, but its not at all like that anymore..he shows me no affection at all. i feel like i've become last since his baby has gotta here, and like i really don't matter anymore. i know once you have a child that baby becomes first in your life before anything, but is that an excuse on him acting like this towards me? and why do you think he acts like this now what should i say to him to voice how i feel?

I am almost 21 years old and pregnant. so I think. THe day after christmas I took a pregnancy test. ANd went to a dr. on the 27th, it was confirmed that I am/was in fact pregnant. this is serious so please no smart remarks to these questions I am having a very hard time dealing with this. Today I woke up and thought I'm pregnant this should be the happiest day of my life right? until I went to the bathroom, because I felt wet. when i went bathroom i was bleeding very heavily, and now am passing blood clots, this has went on for about 14 hrs. I have stomach cramps, and back pains. Am i losing my baby? I called the hospital and all they could say was your probably having a miscarriage most likely, and it will pass. call us in two weeks and we can do a DNC. I think that is how u spell it. anyhow I am a first time mom, and I thought it was rude for them to put it like that. what do u think is happening could I just be getting my period very badly?

I have a 27 year old 2nd cousin and a 33 year old 2nd cousin both expecting in May. My 27 year old cousin just now started showing but my 33 year old cousin started showing a couple weeks ago. Why is my 24 year old cousins so much later then the others. My 24 year old cousin is expecting in the beggining of May and 33 year old cousin at the end of May. Is it because my 33 year old cousin has 3 other pregnancys?? i just wondered and it was bothering me.

Both of my son's ( 5 years old and now the six month old) were on Nutramigen formula. Both supposedly for milk allergy and for GERD (acid reflux) But being on the formula did nothing to improve the vomitting accociated with these conditions. We quit giving the 6 month old the Nutramigen and put him back on a milk based formula.( the five year old was never changed back to anything when he was an infant). He ( the six month old) is doing excellent now. I think the Nutramigen was causing more harm than good. It's nasty ( it's basically oil and water and really stinks) and way overpriced. Any opinions or will someone else share thier experiance with this??????

Ok, here is the deal. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and have pulled out every single time, but I have not gotten pregnant. I'm not saying it would be a bad thing, we already have a kid, but if it happens, it happens. I am more worried that I am infertile or something, because people always say that it's easy and pulling out is 85% effective, then why hasn't it happend yet?

car or let him earn it on his own, I have set rules for him about what to do and what not to do. Sometime he does'nt follow them, he is in the 11th grade, and be in 12th this year in the fall. do you think I should give him money for a car, he work part-time but sometimes calls in sick when he tired.

he is 4 months old he is not hunger, tired, wet, we thought it might be colic but were not sure anymore and the doctor is doing tests but I don't think he knows either. here are some symtoms that he has had since birth
non stop crying (we thought colic)
moving his hand by his ear (we thought infection)
soft to watery stolls
spitting up (he has been on every formula theres no more to try)
he is very alert but I think he has somewhat of a dazed look
the doctor has said that he can tell that the baby is in bad pain but no one can pinpoint the pain if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
the doctor said he has GERD and a virus in his blood also

My wife is 6 months pregnant and has tapeworm. We are not sure what kind it is and sent samples to the lab. Unfortunately, all of the methods of parasite treatments we know are not advisable during pregnancy. Has anyone had positive experience, successes with either alternative or allopathic methods? What were they.

Thank you!
