I'm 21 weeks pregnant and every once in a while I will wipe and get a glob of white discharge. It's like a glob of egg white consistency. This wouldn't be my mucous plug would it? Is this something that just happens when you are pregnant? I appreciate any info you have. Thanks♥

My son will be 3 in march...He wears underwear everyday and pees in the toliet when he needs to but he refuses to poop. He will go long periods of time with out pooping. The last time he pooped he had waited so long that I had to give him an enima because it was so large and he could not get it out...I have tried reading to him, going potty with him, showing him how it works...Nothing is working.

I am being induced on Friday, without the use of pitocin. They are using a softening agent, although I'm not sure which. How long should this take? Anyone have any stories?

My ten-month daughter sometimes has a strange vibrating reaction. It has happened on numerous occasions when she has eaten spicy food like hot sauce. (Yes, I know I will get lots of people telling me not to let her eat spicy food, but we have a large family and all love spicy food. There is so much of it around and like babies will do she just grabs at what she wants sometimes) Anyway, she does a shivering that sort of looks like someone who is really cold but puts both hands up (not cuddled up againsts herself). Her expression is also like someone who is shivering with cold and she looks right in my eyes like she is trying to communicate - so maybe it is just "Hey mom that's too hot!" But she also did it when she had some ice cream and another time when she was laughing and had not eaten anything she suddenly did it. It lasts a good five or six seconds and when I call her name or try to distract her from it she doesn't stop. However, when it is over, she seems perfectly normal.

Has anyone has luck hearing their baby's heartbeat using the bebe sounds monitor that they sell in stores. I was thinking about getting one, but I just want to make sure they work good.

It was a unique opportunity to watch real bullying at play. The guilty are not kids, but you can bet that is how many teenage girls act to the outsider. I bet Danielle, Jade and maybe Jo (not sure about her yet) were all bullies in school.
God bless Shilpa...this could scar her for life.

I have a 4 mo old son (first time mom) I find that I don't keep up on his baby book or have any interest in filling it out. I just wanted to know what other peoples opinions were. And does your in-laws give you crap about it since it's not being kept up? How do you deal with them? I personally feel that pictures are priceless. Thanks for any serious answers.

What would you think about a woman who gets an arm put around her and the guy says...let's see who has a bigger belly you or me? Then she looks at her belly and at his. He says his is like 5 months and she says hers is 6 months. They both laugh and look again and compare. And then they talk about how ready she is to have her baby and they still hug! What kind of friendship do they have if they guy can say/do this with her in front of other guys?

I was just wondering if anyone has had a tummy tuck and then gotten pregnant? If you know someone that did, also that would help! :) I'm thinking about getting one. I'm 21 and i don't think i can live much longer with this belly of mine after having two children... I think i'm done. But i still have a lot more time on my clock. So if i had a tummy tuck and got pregnant again i wonder if it would affect my pregnancy?

I was due for my period 6 days ago. I did not have sex, but close genital contact (no penetration) on December 18th. My cycles are longer and my last one started on December 8th, so December 18th should have been long before I ovulated (average cycle length: 33-35 days). However, I'm still 6 days late if I had a 35 day cycle this month. I've taken numerous hpts with first morning urine since the day my period was due, all negative. I got a urine test from my doctor the day before I was due and it was negative. I also got a blood test on Tuesday from my doctor (I was four days late then) and it was negative. But I've read so much about women having false negative blood tests that I'm scared. My period still hasn't come and there's really no sign of it at all. I was cramping a little for a few days, but it stopped. Please help. I'm scared.

This is my first pregnancy. The date of the first day of my last period was Dec.16/06. I got a postive test on Jan13/06 and went to my family doctor on the 15th. The pregnancy was confirmed and they ran a bunch of blood work. However because my doctor does not deliver babies, she refered me to another doctor that does. My appt is not untill Feb.26. when I will get my first prenatal exam.Is this too long to wait? Should I be worried? Also how far along would I be?

I am a woman that desperately wants to have children but am unable to because of low sperm count in my husband. Getting the sperm from a sperm bank is so costly, so I am hoping that I could find a compatible male that would do me the favor of getting me pregnant, with no fear of me ever coming after him for anything for the baby. I am not going to leave my husband but don't want him to feel inadequate, so I won't be sharing this idea with him. This means I would need a man that shares the same characteristics as my husband, including blood type.

Is there anyone out there who would HELP ME OUT???

I started my period Dec. 31, 2006 and it lasted about 4 or 5 days. My husband and I have been TTC since Nov. ( I also came off of the pill then). We made love on the 14th of Jan. and a few days after I was feeling twitches/fluttering in my lower abdomen. Has anyone had this experience so early on and actually been pregnant? Thank you for your time!

My husband and I are ready to start really trying to get pregnant. We have been together for a little more than four years and never used ANY protection. I've never gotten pregnant. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to get pregnant at all since it hasn't happened yet. We haven't been actively trying but we havn't prevented either...ya know?! Should I be really worried? Can anyone reccomend a good ovulation predictor kit? What else can I do?

My daughter has always slept fine, she goes to bed at night about 8:30 but not to sleep, she does not sleep during the day, I do not give her caffine, and we drink sugar free koolaid. She stays up all night and destroys her room completely. She takes all the clothes out of the closet and out of the drawers, almost ever night. Last night I found her at least 4 times watching TV in her brothers room while he was sound asleep. I've tried everything I know to do and I can't take much more of the all night party going on in my house. You would think she would be tired all day, but she is not. I don't know what caused the change in her sleeping habbits, this has been going on for about 3 weeks. Can anyone offer a solution I'm fresh out of them. Thanks

We bought one from Wal-Mart and tried it out. It is pretty neat hearing the little thumps and bops of the baby moving around but as of yet, no heartbeat... My wife is 19 weeks as of today, anyone have any idea how soon we may be able to hear it with the monitor?
