I am 34 weeks pregnant and my doctor just started me on insulin shots to control my glucose levels . . I was wondering if there are any other moms out there who had to do the same thing . . and if so, was your baby born early or on time? . . were you induced? . . did you deliver vaginally or by c-section? . . how big was your baby? . . were there any complications? . . . I know this is a LOT of questions, but I'm really worried . . . any input you can give would be greatly appreciated!!

Well, I'm 7 months pregnant, and originally I had planned to breastfeed, at least for the first 2 months. The only thing is my fiancee is concerned that it'll cause my breasts to sag. I figured that since this is my first child, and most like the only child I'll be giving birth to and the fact that I'm only 20 years old, my body will revert back better than most women. Also note that I started with a B/C cup pre-pregnancy and now I'm almost a DD. So, with all those factors, will my breasts still sag?

I started the Master Cleanse Diet and intended to do ten days, but stopped it on day 4 when I found out I was pregnant. Could it be harmful?
For the 4 days, all I had is a special kind of lemonade (lemon juice, Maple Syrup, and Cayenne Pepper, water).

How many of you have used this particular test? how accurate was it? when it came out "not pregnant" was it accurate? Im well past when I should have started, dont feel pregnant at all, absolutely no symptons(weight gain, swollen breasts,etc).

My Girlfriend and i have been having sex now for about 8 months. She doesnt really keep track of her period too well, and it kind of concerns me. She's due for her period soon maybe 1-7 days. She already thought she started it yesterday when she had a little dark bit of blood come out. So she used a tampon and when she changed it a couple times she noticed that there was only a little bit of blood on it and only the darker blood that comes later in her period. So were not sure whats going on, because now she realizes shes not on it and we dont know when or if its coming. Her last period ended early or it didn't bleed as much she said so we think that it may just be a discharge of old menstrual blood. Not sure though, Please reply if you have any helpful information.

I got my 28 month-old daughter potty trained using the no-diaper method. Soooo... now when I try to put her "big girl" training panties on her she just takes them right back off. Also, I don't think she understands that she's not supposed to go pee-pee in them... even though I tell her not too. I want her to learn that she needs to call mommy or daddy and pull her panties down and sit on the potty. I'm running out of ideas on how to get her to do this. HELP!!! :-)

I wasn't a good kid: shoplifting, burglary, drugs, drinking, unprotected sex, ...

My kids seem too good to be true. Anywhere from pretty good to fantastic behavior from my adolescents. I keep warning them about bad behavior like watch out for your friends shoplifting when you go to the store together. It's not like their friends are bad kids, either.

I was told by the nurse when changing a boy's diaper I should point his penis downwards before closing up his diaper, but my son's penis stays in the upward position because it is like a little button and it's not big enough for it to be pointed downward and because of this the urine often escapes his diaper and gets on his clothes. Any suggestions for me? Any similar experiences?

I'm 3 days away from my due date and I"m curious about all these things i read such as:
Membrane stripping, dilation etc.
My midwife hasn't spoken to me about any of these things so I'm real confused; for I don't think I'm allowed to get my membrane stripped *shrugs*

I'm also get cramps 13-20 minutes apart. They aren't to the point i can't bare it but do you think they are braxton hix contractions or is it wishful thinking to be in very early stages of labour?

I'm sorry if i sound stupid but this is my first pregnancy and I haven't been told about any of the stuff I have read on this forum or the net. ( stripping membrane, induction, dilation etc)

so i thank you all in advance for being patient and for helping xoxox

Do those who live in the country have to watch every movement of their children so they are safe? Do you and your neighbors watch out the window at times to insure the safety of your neighbors children as well as yours? Help keep your children safe and watch as much as you can, please.

Ok, is it better to pee on the stick, or to pee in a cup then place the stick in the cup??


Why??

I think it's ok for a little while to have a new baby in your room, while the kid starts to grow and you can watch over and make sure everything is ok, but at what age should that kid sleep in there own room.

I don't want to have a problem where the kid can't sleep on his own.

Ok, I had my LMP 12-12-06. I was due on 01-10-07. I did have unprotected sex between then and the supposed start but he did not *** inside of me. I have had bad fatigue for the past couple of days, but I have also been sick with either a cold or the flu. No vomitting, no sickness, just really tired and probably due to Sudafed PE. I started having a brown discharge on the 9th and then last night it stopped. If I wipe inside, though, there seems to still be brown discharge but not coming out. This has been going on for 3 days now, and it's not normal for me. Is it pregnancy or is it something else? I did test but it came out negative and one was questionable since it was barely there and showed up an hour after testing.

My son is 8 months old, he holds his ears and cries. We've taken him to the doctor and the doc said he doesnt have an ear infection.. She said he's just teething. But he already has 4 teeth and he didnt cry this much.. What else could it be? He has no fever and he shows no signs of anything abnormal. Please help.

my 3 year toddler has been potty trained since 2 1/2 years old. but in the past 3 weeks she has been asking to go pee pee 5-6 times before going to bed. first time she'll pee a little. 10 minutes later she'll have a little more. 5 minutes later, she'll say she got to go again but nothing comes out. 10 minutes later she'll say she have to go again but since i got there late she had an accident.

she'll pee 5-6 times to before finally going to bed. my spouse and i think that she is trying to delay going to bed. but if we ignore here request to the bathroom she'll have an accident.

she is potty trained during the day. at night she'll wake up and would go potty with no problems. my problem is the hour before she finally falls asleep.
