I did not have any bleeding lately, just slight cramps as expected, and I had 3 home pregnancy tests done, they all came back positive....Today I went to the doctor and the tests are negative. What happened??

My son who just turned 2 last month will not let go of his bottle and the pediatrician says he must. I got him to give up his pacifier months ago, so we did that....but the bottle he won't budge. He doesn't like sippy cups and if I force him to use a cup he'll just cry all day and ask for his bottle til I give in. I only have 2 working bottles left and refuse to buy more hoping he'll stop on his own - any ideas? We tried saying that santa needed them for his baby reindeer - that didn't work at all. Also, I've tried those transition cups and he hates those too. Unless it is an actuall nipple shape he hates it.

Ok so like 3 days ago like around 10:30pm i was in the kitchen getting something to eat because i got really hungry.Ok so as i was making myself something to eat when all of a sudden i felt some weird feeling in my body,but i didnt really think too much about it so i was continuing what i was doing,but it came back again so this time i really had to sit down and stop what i was doing..So then like 5 minutes later i got up again and felt like i really had to faint..As soon as i got up i felt so dizzy,but the weird thing is..there's nothing wrong with me..I'm not sick or anything..it just happened that day..For the past two days i've been feeling slightly dizzy and with headaches.Oh and also to mention i've been waking up at night drinking lots of water..Has any of you girls experienced this before?Is this a pregnancy symptom?

My girlfriend is on birthcontrol and she has been on it for a good year or two, we was having sex the other day and of course I was wearing a condom the condom didn't brake or anything but some ran out the back and there might of been a drop that I wouldn't know either gotten inside or around the edge, is there a big possibility or do I just have to wait and hope for the best?

I'm 18 weeks, and Friday i get the sonogram to determine the gender. 90% of people i know say boy lol, typical since i have two girls lol.
But i'm curious if at 18 weeks anything can be seen? My doctor has been very thorough and accurate in the past so i trust him immensly, but with my other two i fuond out their gender at 21 and 22 weeks, but since i started my sonograms and appts. at 6 weeks this is on cue....i guess i'm nervous about getting a false reading or not being able to tell, i'm dying to know and Friday isn't coming fast enough.

I baby sit my granddaughters. I take the four year old to pre school twice a week and pick her up a few hours later taking her 20 mo. old sister with us. It's COLD here but the 20 mo. old takes her mittens off immediately. Sometimes she rips them off before we even get out of the house. Help! Her little hands are freezing by the time we get back home.

still no baby.....i read online that it could be becuase im overweight...overweight people sometimes tend to not be fertile...SOOOOOOO since i am about 80lbs. over weight...Do you think i should lose the weight first and then have a baby or still keep trying but increase my chances of having gestational diabetes????? I am worried that if i wait to long to have another child, their will be to much of an age difference between them...my daughter is 2 right now......so what do you guys think???? lose the weight first...or have a baby now, and lose the weight after??????? what do you think would be best?

My little girl just turned 2 1/2 year old. She will pee on the potty but we can't get her to pooh on the potty. She will come tell you that she has poohed her pants just a little after she has done it. We ask her why she didn't pooh on the potty and she responds "I don't know" it's driving me crazy!! Any tips?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and have been with my current empolyer for over 6 months. When I asked about what to do about my maternity leave - when did they want me to let them know when i needed off? Who do I need to speak with about it? etc.. my boss informed me that they don't offer maternity leave and that we have to just put in our 2 weeks notice and then as long as our job performance has been well- we can just re-apply and get hired back after our "maternity leave" is up. They say they can do this because we are "temporary employees"... however you can 'apply' to become a 'regular' employee after working 90 days- but I didn't because I knew I would be taking off for maternity leave soon and figured they wouldn't give it to me. The only difference between the temporary employees and reg employees is that if you are a temporary employee and you miss a day of work or come in sick- they dock your entire week's paycheck down to minimum wage. ?????

I'm going into my 30th week and I'm trying to prepare for our first baby. I've done my homework, but you hear both good and bad things about all breast pumps. Sites like La Leche can't recommend specific pumps...so I don't know which pump to get.

I work & I've estimated that I'll need to pump about 50% of her milk.

Which electric breast pump is the best in your experience? Which is the worst?

Thanks!

In a way I do want to keep my baby and said that I woudl be prepared to go it alone if I have to, but I feel awful as it's not what he wants. Am I being silly?

Dr. says that my 15 month old needs speech therapy. He isn't talking but does point at what he wants and shakes his head yes or no. I have taken him to speech therapy 2 times so far. It kind of seems a little useless because what she does is the same type of stuff I do with him on a regular basis everyday (saying the name of objects over and over, playing with shapes and blocks, etc.). Speech therapist says that he is delayed. Should I wait and see if he starts talking on his own or continue to take him to therapy twice a week? Any other moms with kids that are speech delayed?
