I don't think it will, but I have to get some blood work done in about a week and I may be coming down with a cold. I can't tell if it's allergies or a cold. Hopefully it's just allergies.

I am a relatively medium to large frame (UK size 16) and am 6 and a half weeks pregnant. I have been invited to a wedding in 9 weeks time when i will be 15 weeks (hopefully, if all goes well!)
Planning an outfit for any wedding is stressful enough but i really don't know what size i will be or whether i will need maternity clothes? and leaving the shopping for an outfit until the last week may be a little stressful!!!!!
Any suggestions or advice?
When did you all start showing? and is it my imagination or is my waistline already thicker?!!! I have stopped needing a belt on my trousers and with all the nausea and morning sickness i have actually lost weight so bit strange.
Any help appreciated! Thank you in advance.

i started catching for softball about 1 year ago and i luv it. i'm pretty good too (according to everybody else, including the other teams coaches and the umpire, but i don't think i'm all that great). anyway i play softball because it's fun, winning either comes or it doesn't. anyhoo (oh, i'm a 15 year old girl by the way), i started to have pain in my heels. at first i just shrugged it off, but when it got to be too much, i told somebody. the doctor said my achilles tendon is being strained, he said i could either quit catching or catch and just know it's gonna hurt. softball sign-ups are tomorrow and i don't know if i should put that i'm a catcher or second baseman (my other position).doc said there is a slight possibility that i could tear my tendon, but it's not very likely.he gave me some etretches to do, but they aren't working. i want to catch, but i don't want to hurt myself. what should i do, any advice?

I've been asking a lot of questions about motherhood but I don't seem to be getting very balanced answers. Possible the Answers community aren't 'typical' of the British population at large. The birth rate in Britain is currently 1.7 children per woman. How many do you have and how old are you? It seems like everyone on here has a lot of kids!

I have been on Answers for about 2 weeks, and I like the Pregnancy and Parenting section. But, I am becoming irritated with these questions of "Could I be pregnant?" and "I think I'm pregnant, what do I do?" and THEN there are the questions that are so dumb, I almost choke on my coffee as I'm reading. Like the chick who asked why it is only women who can carry a child. Are these people serious? Or are they asking these ignorant questions for fun to see what others say? I really hope they are not that uneducated. For their baby's sake. Are you tired of telling women to go to the doctor or take a pregnancy test? What else has been asked that you just want to type "DUH!" as an answer?

I was wondering I am about 5 weeks pregnant last night my boyfriend and I had sex at times it did hurt but then didn't. For a while previous I had slight cramping then it stopped. Now since I had sex last night I woke up this morning with the slight cramping nothing really painful. What is also strange is after sex I when to the bathroom and had to throw up that never happened before. Plus I hope I am not getting to nasty but while having sex it got very very wet down there ( sorry dont mean to say it that way but just want to be clear) which my boyfriend even asked me how come it was so wet. Could someone please answer. Thanks

i have a 23month old, 2 next month and i have noticed within the last fortnight he hasnt been himself.

i put his tea on table and i sit down with him to encourage him to eat but he sits there winging, i'd firmly ask him not to cry and to eat up and he goes hysterical. i've tried not saying anything to him but he still cries and dont know why, hes not uncomfortable or anything.

i have done a foodchart as i can see how much hes eating a day and have gave him stars, he knows if he does well at the end of the week, i take him out and get him a toy for being good.

he has become very wingey throughout the day and i dont know why, ive taking him to docs and theres nothing wrong with him,. i play with him, read him books, we make things such as cakes, playdough, etc. he gets attention but hes not spoilt.

can anyone tell me what is wrong with him? is it time to change his routene? i dont know what to do as im starting to get really stressed but dont show it infront of him

He showers daily, uses deoderant, cologne, but by the end of the day he smells bad? Some mom's tell me that teen boys just smell. What's the deal!?

I'm 11 days late. I've had over 15 (I stopped counting) negative hpts including one yesterday morning with first morning urine. I've had negative urine and blood tests from two different doctor's offices. But I'm still 11 days late. This would be day 45 of my cycle. It would have been exactly five weeks since I had sex (which wasn't even sex, we were dry humping), so 35 days (FIVE WEEKS!!!) since conception. Yes I know it's possible to get pregnant from dry humping if he ejaculated on or near your vagina, but he didn't. He ejaculated on my stomach and to the left of my entire vulva area and he never penetrated. And I wiped it off immediately. Am I just late, another victim of an irregular cycle, or could all the tests be wrong?

My name is Yasmin, and when people sya it most of the time they say Yaz/ mean instead of Yaz/min. Why does it really matter if you have the e at the end or not. (I dont apparently) Why is the pronucation different if you add a z instead of a s? Why do people think my name is Yaz/mean instead of prounuced as its looks?


Which prounacation sounds better?

I am 28 years old and do not have any children of my own yet. I have tried for a few years with no luck, so I have decided to look into being a foster parent. Once I get my feet wet in that area, I may look into adoption to start my family. I currently live in a one bedroom apartment and I am unmarried. My boyfriend is interested in this too. I ordered an information packet, but there was not much info involved. Anyone out there offer any more info about being a foster parent? Pros and cons?

My husband and I haven't chosen a name yet for our baby. We dont' know if it's a boy or a girl. We are looking to name our baby with an Arabic name, that has some significance. We want to know which names are most popular out there that can be pronounced in both English and Arabic. If you have any suggestions, please let us know and help us on our search for the right name. Thanks!

Having a baby in a few weeks and dont have a thermometer, should I get one. Are the regular ones okay to get or do I need a special baby one. What is the average baby temp 98.6 like grown ups or different? Also should you check their temp or do you not really need to? Thanks
