I was reading the paper this morning and I was nearly in tears(of happiness) as I have been sufferring from hyperemesis for the past 5 weeks and although I was hosptialized, and given some meds, nothing has helped. Someone had written in on behalf of their daughter who is going through this and was told to try Nux Vom, a homeopathic remedy. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it and what their experiences were? Thanks so much in advance!

Ok I admit Im a guy and I want a daughter, not a son. I think it would be great to raise a girl for a change.

Is there something wrong with me?

I have a 6month old daughter and have just found out that my partner cheated on me when i was 7months pregnant with her. Im absolutley heartbroken, he assures me it was a one-off mistake but i only found out because i found a txt to her on his phone last wk, saying he would txt her later sexy!! so it obviously has been going on for months. I know i cant be with him anymore but to top it off i found out 3days ago im pregnant again! i just dont know what to do, i feel its too soon to have another baby when my daughter is so young and also now i will be a single mum but i dont believe in abortion yet part of me is considering it?? but i dont think ill ever forgive myself if i got rid of it. Im just so confused, scared and lonely, i cant think straight ive got a doctors appointment at end of the wk but can anyone give me some advice before then??

i have had a crappy time with this doctor office, they have been very rude at times. and with it being so late in my pregnancy i didnt know if i could find another one to take me on, rather quickly that is. I hate doing this to my doctors office they had been great though out my other children. i just feel very disappointed in the service im recieving. there are a group of 5 or 6 doctors and i like one out of all of them and he is gone on vacation. isnt that convient. what should i do? they know she is a big big big baby. and they wont induce me till im 39 weeks. I MEAN SHE IS BIG! said that she could still be premature.. BULL if you ask me. i have had a premie baby and he was as healthy as can be at 35 weeks....

what should i do?

He is such a nervous little boy, and i have spoken to a child psycologist, who suggested that i invite 1 child a week back to our house for tea. I thought this was a great idea, but when i suggested it to him, he told me that he has no friends at school, never plays with anyone, and that no-one likes him. I am not sure whether to believe him, because when i help out in his classroom as a parent helper, he seems well liked, but i am not sure if thats coz i am there, and the other kids feel like they have to be nice to him. When we go out shopping, and bump into kids from school, they always say hello to him, so why does he tell me that he had no friends? How can i do what the psycologist said, if i dont know who his friends are?

A family friend told me that Vinegar cause miscarriages because it has some type of chemical in it. Is this true? I know this sounds weird but better safe than sorry right? I wouldn't wanna harm my baby by eating salt and vinegar chips.

I wonder if any one could give me some advice, 4 years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer, so far, touch wood it has not returned, I have had my cervix removed and replaced with a stitch, I have since been told I have hydrosalpinx which means I have one knackered tube which they cut the end off, and my other one aint that good. I had a touch of pink brown discharge 10 days after ovulation, 6 days before my period was due, I have had slight cramping in my abdomen and a feeling of pressure and slight cramping down my right hand side, which is the side of the knackered tube. I have had no more spotting and u have still not come on, I know im only two days overdue, I do not have sore breasts and sometimes feel a bit off balance. Could I be lucky enough??? Dont want to do a test incase it comes back negative!!! been trying for a year now.

I am 6 months pregnant and I have only gained almost 2KG. My doctor says that I should gain a lot more but I was (am) still over-weight. Should I be worried or is it ok not to gain so much weight if you were over weight to begin with? I would listen to my doctor if I was living in the US but right now I'm living in China and I don't exactly know if the doctor knows what she's talking about since a lot of her advice has been wrong in the past.

As a name. What do you think of it? Do you think of it as a boys name or a girls name?
Also can you think of anyway kids might tease someone called Jude?
(aside from saying Hey Jude, I don't think many children listen to the beatles nowadays)

My son does not sleep through the nights on a regular basis. He normally only sleeps through once a week. He only wakes up as he cant find his dummy which is attached to his blanket he likes. I dont want to leave him crying as we have neighbours and dont want to upset them. My son has a sleep in the morning for a hour and then is awake for 7 hours after his sleep. He goes to bed and 7pm as he cant stay awake any more and i then get up with him at 7am. He seems to wake up between 3am-5am, i really need to get him to sleep through. I hope some one can help me on this.
Thank you

I had a PPH after the birth of my daughter 16 years ago and have just found out that I am 7 weeks pregnant - after the birth things went really bad and I had to get 8 units of blood, 2 of plasma and 2 of platelets - I took a reaction to the platelets and ended up swelling to about 3 times my normal size and i also was comatosed in the theatre for a short while and i wasnt allowed to hold my baby for 2 days (which upset me more than being unwell) - i had a 50/50 chance of not coming out of it at all - and all this because the midwife flatly refused to write risk of PPH on my file - my mother, grandmother and sister all PPH'd with all their children - my mother works in gynae and the doctors who tended me from there have all said that i have a greater than 80% chance of it happening again (with my family history) if i go thru "normal" labour - i personally couldnt go through labour like that again and would insist on a section - can i make the doctors give me a section??

It is just to get him used to it so he'll drink it at childcare etc. I still intend to breastfeed him though. Is cows milk dangerous to an 8mo in small amounts daily?
