We had thought for a while that I was pregnant though it was still too early for a home test to show up positive. I had my period the weekend before last and during that time ended up getting really sick (vomiting, nausea, increased smell, no fever). I know you can have your period your first month of pregnancy, especially if conception occurred just before. While I was sick, I stopped taking my birth control due to the vomiting and just overall bad health (not being able to get out of bed and forgetting). After a week of illness, it went away and I have been fine since this past Saturday. On Monday I began spotting. It started out kind of slow but now its been really heavy, like I'm having a second, heavier period. There has been some light cramping but nothing major. I just find it odd that I be spotting like this because I have never had this problem before. Could it be a miscarriage or a result of not being on the pill after a month...?

Mel is the first name & Danielle is the middle name. Does it sound nice and easy to say? I was afraid it might sound too redundant because of the similar ending sounds. What do you think? Thanks! :)

My period isn't due for a few days, but 4 days ago I "felt" pregnant. Out of curiosity, I took 2 tests from different brands- both showed positive (slight lines). Freaking out, I took 2 more tests every day after.......( I know).....and they were neg with the exception of a VERY faint positive yesterday. I would think that HCG levels would be INCREASING by now, or maybe the +'s are more sensitive tests? I know I won't know for sure until I've actually missed my period, but can anyone explain this to me? Is there a sudden surge of HCG around (implantation?) and then a drop? This has me going nuts. There is no bleeding or sign of miscarraige, that is IF I am pregnant. HELP!

Ever since those two boys that were kidnapped were found, I watch the news and it was a wonderful story about being found well my 6 year old has developed nightmares about being kidnapped from our house! every night, she is terrified of going to sleep unless she has one of us with her. I have tried the sleeping bag on my floor, staying with her until she is asleep but as soon as I leave, she is up screaming. I don't want to punish her but man i am so upset that she cannot trust me when i say nothing is coming through her window! What should I do? It has been over a week now from her first nightmare! I don't know if i should consult her pediatrician or not!

I've been having post partum depression issues since having my twins 6 months ago. I've been on Wellbutrin on and off, prescribed by my ob, and I've concluded that it would be best for me to stay on it on an ongoing basis, since I am so much more relaxed on it and feel much better about myself. When I am not on it, I get all depressed, think I am ugly, think my husband doesn't love me, and tend to get overwhelmed with the babies. My ob won't prescribe me any more pills and he said I should see a psychiatrist. I do not want to have to go in and see a shrink on an ongoing basis for Wellbutrin. I don't want to sit in an office and spill my guts every few months. I just want the pills because that is what makes me feel better. Is there a way to get this without a shrink? Will my general practitioner prescribe them?

Her son has been assessed but no-one has diagnosed ADHD. Every night her son will not go to sleep and until she does he is such hard work. Jumping around squeeling, shouting at her nasty things and making her life unbearable. Does anyone know of somewhere she can get help?

My 6 month old likes to have a paci to go to sleep, but it's becoming a real pain because she takes it out of her mouth and then cries because she can't get it back in again. it's making it real hard to get her to sleep for naps. Plus, they get lost everywhere and I'm tired of buying them. How do I do away with these things?

I'm usually very regular and am usually never more than 3 days late. It's been 5 days now and no signs of my period or PMS symptoms. I've been pregnant before and I don't really feel pregnant right now (my pregnancy symptoms are pretty strong & appear quite early). I've been sick (severe colds) twice the past month, and I'm still sick right now. I know I can just take a pregnancy test, but just wanted to know if anyone has gotten a late period because of getting sick. I'm not emotionally stressed out by being sick, but can't say the same for my body. Thanks a bunch!

Seabands are those little sweatbands with the little knob on them that you are supposed to wear while traveling if you get seasick or motionsickness.I read in several places they are also good for morning sickness.I started wearing them yesterday and it was the first time I felt human since I found out I was pregnant on Christmas Day.I put them on this morning before AI got out of bed and feel fine again.My only concern is that they are kind of tight and the little knob is leaving an indention on my wrists.Is that supposed to happen?It says they only come in one size.Am I wearing them to high?

Hey there,
Was just wondering about ultrasounds, how often are you susposed to have them and that sort of thing. I had my first one last night and one today but just because i had some bleeding yesterday.
Could anyone help me out with this?
Also does anyone have any links to images of unborn babies? Like those one's that are done inside you? Just interested as to what my baby looks like at 7 weeks.

Thank-you in advance,

How old does a child have to be? To be diagonised with Asthma?
Can an infant be diagonised with asthma and 6 months old or younger. How can you tell when it is asthma. Has anyone ever had a infant with asthma? Asthma runs really strong on my husbands side. None of my children have it but my infant has been really sick lately. He has been having trouble breathing and is weezing alot so I am wondering if this could be asthma. I am taking him to the doctors this afternoon to see what is wrong. So I dont need you to tell me to take him to the doctors. I just want some opinions on the matter and if anyone knows of any babys that have asthma at 6 months old. Thanks
