Ok my period is 2 days late and my nipples usually get really sore along with cramps about a week in advance but i have no signs of any period.
I guess what im asking is how common it would be to have no pms symptoms as pregnancy symptoms?
Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks

I am 25 weeks pregnant and I think I have a yeast infection. It is a little red and a little swollen down there. It looks like I have little paper cuts, that hurt when I pee or when I wash. I know I don't have any diseases, because well obviously my Dr. did all those tests and he would have notified me. I had 2 YI's When I was pregnant with my first, but this one is a little different. It doesn't itch at all, but I am still concerned about the little 'cuts' they seem to be.
Does this sound like a normal YI? I have notified my Dr. and they
told my to get monistat 7. I am going to get some after I am done with this. I just wanted to know if this sounded typical or is it something I should go into the Dr. for? PLZ Help.TY

My wife really wants to have kids and so do I. However, we still haven't experienced a pregnancy, even after all this time. We haven't used birth control, so we know it's not that.

When we talk to our friends about it we hear stories about people who tried forever to get pregnant and people who got pregnant the first time they had sex.

But what's normal for a couple? How long does it usually take to get pregnant? I'm guessing it probably varies a lot, but is there some kind of ballpark figure out there?

i had a baby back in september i have been breastfeeding exculsively since lately he has been wanting more than i can pump. does anyone have any suggestions how i can build my mild supply? i do give him cereal not in his bottle i was told never to do that by the pediatrician, and i started stage 1 foods, bananas, but he drinks 20-24oz of milk while i'm at work, and i try to pump more but i'm not getting enough for him. when i'm home it's fine because he can nurse on demand but when i'm away from him he finishes all the milk i have expressed and he is hungry until i get home. i really don't want to give him formula i am very pro breastfeeding i told his caretaker to give him rice cereal so he won't want as much milk but he still wants the 20 oz of milk even with the cereal and bananas any suggestions?

I've kept track of my BBT for 2 years. On my current cycle I had erratic wake up times & several missed temps. I decided I didn't have the info for an accurate chart. I quit taking temps & figured I'd start again with my next cycle. So I have no idea when I ovulated. Over the past 2 years my average cycle was 30 days. I had one 44 day cycle. Due to work schedules my husband & I didn't have sex for days 7-27. So when day 30 came & went with no period I figured there was no way I could be pregnant & this cycle was just going to be a little longer than usual. When day 44 came & went with no period I began to wonder if the sex on day 28 could have been the right time for us & I actually got pregnant. I took a test today (day 46). The control & negative lines were light but definitely really there (3 or 4 on a scale of 1-10). The positive line was a 10. Any positive line is supposed to mean pregnant. But if the test was valid why are the control & negative lines much lighter? Am I pregnant?

My 9 month old daughter has a strong liking/ disliking of the food. She doesn't like the taste of formula at all- I tried various ways to supplement with formula ( switching one brand to another, mixing with cereals and fruits etc. ) from her 5 months but in vein. She simply keeps her mouth shut or makes some funny posture to throw that up. Now it's time for me to go back to work. I'm anxious enough how to tackle this oncoming feeding problem. She's taking some solids ( vege, fruits, cereal) and water , but still milk is the most important food for the few more months. I'm concern much because I think I'm drying up too. She has a leaner body though she is very active. Please help.

I am not a mom I was unable to have kids and that is OK, but I love being an Aunt very much. My sisters work so hard and have to work outside the home b/c money is so tight. What are ways that I can encourage them and pour my love into my nieces and nephews? It is not easy being a mom and it is even harder being a mommy 24/7/365 and even though like I said before I am unable to have kids, I want to be the Aunt and the sister that gives and cares and babysits because when it is just me and my husband it is easy not to understand or empathize with what moms go through, and we just want to make a difference in my families lives.

I'm 40 weeks pregnant today. I went to the doctor yesterday and I am 1 cm dilated. Tonight have a pain in my vaginal area. Far as I know I haven't lost my plug and my waters haven't broke. But I keep having a trickle like I am peeing my pants when I move. I don't know if this is urine or my aminiotic fluid leaking?b All I know is my underwear is wet but not soaked. I am due January 22. Could labor be close?

Do you let your kids wear sandals or flip flops or do you require shoes and socks outside. Do they wear shoes in the house? Do you let them go barefoot outside? Do you allow shoes with no socks. My kids have to wear shoes and socks and for the most part have never complained. I do not think anything less is best for active kids. I'm asking this because my son wanted to wear flip flop and I told him only if he is going to the beach or swimming. What is your take?

One of my dearest friends delivered her baby boy last night at only 27 weeks pregnant. He weighs 2 lb 2 oz and 14" long. She had him at a large hospital and is in the NICU. Has anyone gone thru this and do you know the odds of his survival? This is her and her hubby's first baby and I am so afraid for her. He is so so tiny. Thanks.

This little eight-year-old loathes me. Seriously. She is soo rude and disruptive and rebellious. She always flopps down and says, "I'm bored" when I come in the room. But for everyone else she's an angel! What is going on here? I don't think I gave her a reason to hate me, either.

A mother takes her 8yr old child out of school.She never puts him back in school and doesn't educate him otherwise.He is also kept in the house and only leaves the home and is around other people every few months if not for longer.The only phone in the house is a cell phone and is kept with the mom.He is not allowed and does not use it .He literally knows noone but relatives,which he only sees when they stop by.His day consists of cleaning,and mild cooking.Physical abuse and molestation have VERY possibly occured........This child has been living this way for 7yrs.This child is 15,but only has the education and social skills of an 8yr old.What can be done to help this child? Can any charges be brought against the mother?What charges? What grounds could someone use to get custody of the child? What kind of lawyer could handle this case?......This is all true!All help would be greatly appreciated!

First: A stray cat has been coming around a spraying our garage and sometimes I smell it inside, is the spray harmful like the cat litter? I already avoid cleaning our cats little, but I dont know about spray.

Second: I have my "big" ultrasound on the 2nd of Feb and Ill be 24 weeks... how often are they not able to tell the sex because baby is not in right position? Will medi-cal pay to have another ultrasound if that one is not conclusive? How many of you didnt get to find out?

Third: I tend to end up sleeping on my stomache, not flat on it, but mostly. I put a pillow between my legs, but still cant sleep fully on side. Will I squish the baby?

Thanks!
