Think I may be pregnant, have had a lot of symptoms, but couldn't get a straight answer from home tests so I went to doctors.

Explained everything including symptoms, but doctor dismissed my worries out of hand and focused on the stomach cramps i said i was having - linked it to a stomach bug I had a while back and gave me tablets, but the symptoms I have now are different to then. Should I see another doctor about it?

Need to know because I am supposed to be on cholestral tablets but should not take them if I'm pregnant, so I'm not really sure what to do now?

Hope someone can advise me.

My daughter is turning 6 months old and up until the last day or two we have always swaddled her. She has started to roll over during the night while swaddled (of course we roll her on her back right away) so it is an obvious sign to get rid of the swaddle blanket. We are starting by only letting one arm out at a time during most naps and bedtime. It used to take her merely minutes to fall asleep while swaddled and now it is taking her up to 40 minutes. She takes the pacifier in and out of her mouth and kind of plays around. When she starts crying I know she is ready to sleep and I make sure she has the pacifier. How can I teach her to sooth herself and get her to fall asleep faster like she used to when swaddled? I know we just started this process so it may get better with time. Has anyone else gone through this? We are open to trying anything. We just want her to be a good sleeper without this darn blanket….and a happy baby!

Okay I asked earlier if it was normal to have perios like cramps early in your pregnancy I got some good answers but now I have another question. I am suppose to start my period of jan 6, I took a hpt and it was postive, yippie, I go to the doctor on the 10th of january. The cramps have somewhat decreased and i can hardly feel them anymore just every once in awhile. I guess you could say that i am worried that i am going to end not not being pregnant and start my period. Just wandering what other women have experienced with period like cramps before there actual missed period. Just being overly cautious i guess.

Im wondering if anyone can help me with this......im having a baby at the end of march (or early april whenever she comes:) and my job wont pay maternity leave...but for @ least 6 weeks i will not be able to work. Is there any sort of programs or something (like enemployment???) that can help me out? I know WIC for things like milk and cheese but there is no way we can make it on just one income...kind and helpful answers appreciated.

there is no way at all that I could be feeling my baby move yet. This is my fourth pregnancy and I am 15 weeks tomorrow, and i just sat on the couch and felt little flurries of movement for about 2 minutes straight. For those of you with multiple pregnancies under your belt, how soon did you feel movement with your second or third or fourth..etc?

He also then did laugh and say he learned long ago not to argue with motherly instincts. hes a good doctor, but i am pretty sure he is wrong on this one.

I feel like the worst person in the world right now...I am a mom with sole custody of 2 boys and my husband also has sole custody of his 3 children from his first marriage.For 2 1/2 years I have raised all 5 kids as my own. They are young and it's very difficult but for 2 years I have loved it and embraced the challenges. I no longer can do it. I have no family or friends nearby to help, my husband works 50+ hours a week and when he IS home his attention is only focused on his kids. As a result my 2 sons have no father figure and they are forced to share their mother. I've noticed my sons becoming depressed. I've pleaded with my husband to include my kids in his life but he doesn't seem to be capable of it, although he does help financially. I feel like the time has come to do 1 of 2 things: 1-insist my husband take responsibility for his own children or 2-leave the marriage. Is number 1 even an option? If so, how can I inform my husband that the balance of responsibility must change?

It seems that everyone's response is to take the baby to the doctor. There are some things that are just not necessary to go to the doctor for. If your baby gets a cold do you taker her/him to the doctor? Unless there is a high fever or a cough I just don't think its necessary. Sleep habits...your doctor is going to say whateveryone else says...gas, teeth, growing etc. I just think its funny how some people's answers are always "go to the doctor"

I just read a comment that a girl responded to, and she said that morning sickness is a sign of a healthy baby. Well, I'm 15.5 weeks and I never had naseua but once or twice. Does this mean that not having morning sickness is a bad sign?? The only thing I have had a lot of is headaches. Anyway, please offer me your opinion. Thank you.

I am pregnant with my second child. I am 26 years old and have been married for almost 8 years. My daughter is 2 and my second child is due about 3 months before she turns 3. I have a good marriage with no problems. Anyway, my sister is 33 and she can't get pregnant. She has had one miscarriage and she is in the middle of an adoption. We are close, but she is very negative of every decision I ever make. I understand she wants to look out for me but she actually got mad when I got pregnant with my daughter. So now I am pregnant again and I haven't even told her because I don't want to listen to her mouth. I love her but I don't look forward to telling her because she is going to get so mad. Every one says she is jealous of me and that's why she acts like she does, but it's not my fault she can't get pregnant. I don't feel I should put what I want on hold in life because I feel sorry for her. How should I go about telling her about my pregnancy? How should I deal with her negativity?
