Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 January 2007

I am 40 weeks pregnant and I think I am having contractions ranging from 10-20 min apart. They start in my lower stomach and go around to my back. Last one I had I was actually peeing, but it seems if I am resting I don't have them that regularly, but if i'm standing, walking, or sitting I feel them more, and when I move they don't go away. Could they just be braxton hicks

These young girls are igging my nerves wanting babies because they think they'll look cute pregnant or they'll have an adorable baby to love and to love them back. Don't they realize they can't love the child(ren) if they can't care for them properly? Love isn't letting a baby/child go hungry and wet and cursing it out for being curious. I see this in young mothers so often. They act like the child owes them something. Is there anything we as a world can do to improve this? I know it's a slim chance, but I had to get it off my chest anyway. Thanks in advance for your input/opinion.

Here's the deal, we have a five month old baby and I'm pregnant again, "surprise". I haven't told anybody, I'm terrified of course, but I'm very happy, I know we didn't plan to have a baby this soon but I'm so happy and this is a blessing. The thing is that, it wasn't plan and I'm afraid that my man will be upset about it, he might get angry, but maybe if I take him somewhere or do something special then he might not react in a bad way to the news. I know he's gonna be scared as I am but I don't want him to get angry. do you have any ideas of where or how I can tell him I'm pregnant again??? I want to do it in a special way, so any ideas I would love them, thanks for your help

My husband and I are planning to TTC this month for the first time. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect including my dental work. When I went to the dentist last month they needed to replace a crown. In doing so, my dentist needed to take one digital x-ray to make sure it was o.k. I did have an apron. This was on Dec. 20th. I am now concerned about radiation effects if any. Do I need to wait a month or can I continue with my plans to TTC this month?

i had a miscarriage in 2002 i was still losing the baby after 3 days and the pain was unbearable my doctor booked my in for a scrape, i did at the time wonder why he had been reluctant to do this, in 2004 i was in for an elective ceasearean and on thumbing through my notes to pass the time i noticed that my previous pregnancy had been twins, i feel guilty now as i might have lost one and aborted the other with the scrape, was my doctor supposed to tell me that i was expecting twins , the scan was a very early scan as i had had a fall at about 6 weeks and there was two sacs showing on the scan, i feel absolutely sick this is really hurting me not knowing, am not sure about asking my doctor about it now as it was quite a while ago he might think ive lost it or he will think im after some sort of claim

Has anyone else out there had dreams of having twins and triplets and then find out that they are!? I keep having these dreams to where I go in to get my ultrasound done and they say it's either twins or triplets and one dream to where the twins were born and my sister also had a dream I was having twins! I know you are supposed to get some crazy dreams when you are pregnant but this is rediculous.

What are you and your Family doing to prevent global warming for you children. This is a big threat for our children. I advise all parents (and non parents) to watch the inconvinet truth its a real eye opener. Did you know if we dont do something soon most of manhatten could be under what? Just by shuting your computer off saves engery ie helping to reduce global warming and it could save you $120 dollars a year. Move heat down 2 degrees and air up, prevents global warming and could save you $100 dollars a year. This is a serious threat for out children, What are you doing to help?

My wife is 9 weeks pregnant, she hasn’t had bleeding or anything weird, but she has just been nauseated everyday from being pregnant.

At 8 weeks she had her first ultrasound and the baby was the perfect size and had a strong heartbeat. The doctor said everything looked great.

They called her today and said her blood work came back and everything looks normal and healthy.

Is it common to miscarry after having a healthy heartbeat, ultrasound and blood work? Wouldn’t her chances be low at this point (because everything is going perfect)?

This is our first baby and I am worried about my wife and the baby. We planned the baby and really want to be parents this year.

I have a 1 1/2 year old that has had an on-going cold that just wont seem to go away. He had a really nasty cough from post nasal drip that the vaporizer is helping but, he is very cranky and keeps grabbing his nose between his eyes. He also has think yellow/green snot, and breathe that smells like something dies in his mouth. he has never had a sinus infection so i have no idea if he just has a bad cold or something else.
