I had an intestinal infection over the weekend and when they were checking my blood pressure and heartbeat they said my heart was unually high (120 beats with no activity). They gave me 3 bags of fluids. At the end of this whole thing my heart rate was still 115. My blood pressure was low but that is not unusual for me. Has anyone experienced high heart rate with pregnancy? Does increased heart rate imply multiple births?

I am just concerned about my pregnancy. I am 7 weeks along and whenever I mention it they do not seem concerned. They just wamted to replace my electolytes and thats about it. They didnt check heartbeat or anything. I have my first OBGYN appt on Wednesday so I hope they will check then

I'm really worried that she is retarded in growth. She doesnt look retarded. She can not distinguish colours which is a basic kindergarten test.

What could this be? Has anyone else had a daughter like this?

my new husband jo is a very devoted/supporting dad/exhusband.jo promised hi ex they would raise thier only child tom together after the divorce.because of this jo maintains daily contact(phone,email ect)with his ex regarding everthing from sports/school activities to what tom ate for lunch.its not unlike her to call jo for 20 mins to tell him what she and tom did for the day.i understand jo does not what to miss out on anything with his son but tom is 7yrs old and old enougth to tell his dad what he did.i feel like hes still married to her just not living with her.this would not bother me much if his ex was not so bitter to me and except me.she had made it very clear i will never be part of her "family unit"and wants me to have nothing to do with toms life as i'm not really family.since jo's life revolves around his son it is hard for me not to be involved.jo will not back me on any of this as he says its her right as a mom to decide what i can an can't do regarding tom and if he stands up for me it will only make it worse for tom.

I'm having trouble collecting breastmilk for my baby. Will it cause the baby's stomach to go sensitive? I'm not getting enough breastmilk, is it lack of eating or just lack of pumping? Please help.

I was in the store with my 12 year old..she was carrying my son(her baby bro) around, who is 4 months. A lady approached her and started lecturing her that she was too young to be a mama! My daughter was trying to explain she was the sister and the lady said "Well keep it in mind, honey..there's nothing worse than a teenage mom!" I told the woman to mind her own business but was very pissed..especially since my daughter was the result of a teenage pregnancy! What should I have said?

What can I do to get my son on a better schedule? He doesn't get up until about 10 am, then I try to feed him breakfast then next thing I know its noon and he is exhausted. I tried to feed him before he goes to lay down for his nap between 12-1, but you know he JUST ate so hes not hungry. Then he wake up from his nap after about 2 hours sometimes 3 and he is hungry but its so close to dinner. I dont think he is getting enough food and snacks fill him up just as much!

What should I do to make sure he gets the proper amount of food? Bare in mind he is almost a year old and will no longer eat baby foods (he refuses them) so we are self feeding now for 99% of the time. He still gets his bottles of formulas, we haven't cut back on that.

I have been nuring and pumping for 7 months. I recently started having nipple pain and bruising (or burst blood vessels near the skin) around my nipples. I use lanolin, but am finding pumping to be uncomfortable and painful. Does anyone have any tips?

I use an ameada purely yours pump.

Benjamen (Ben for short) Edward
Natalie Anneliese
William (Will for short) Landon
Lena Elizabeth

By the way, all the middle names are after a character from a book that I really adored reading about. I love to read....
Edward: After Edward from "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer
Anneliese: After Anne Frank. (her name was Anneliese and I think it's prettier then just Anne.)
Landon: After Landon in "A Walk To Remember"
Elizabeth: After Elizabeth Bennet. From Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Is this weird?

I have a fear of s**ually oriented and mildy rude words. I even hate typing them. Is this normal. I cant even say or type the word s*x. Im a teenager and these type of words make me very uncomfortable. Can I get over this?

my baby girl has been babbling since she was 1.5 mos. old. she's now a little older than 2 mos. and mimmicks my husband and me (as best as possible) when we talk, most recently trying to say 'hello.' i had her at the end of november, and i've been experiencing that 'first parent' paranoia, so i've been trying to document all her milestones (generally). i've also been needlessly worrying my husband and bothering my doctor over issues like autism, stunted growth, failure to thrive, arthritis, etc.; however, since she seems eager to talk, roll over, crawl, etc., we've been encouraging this -- which may not be a good thing, according to some experts. Any parents out there with 2 cents?

Is it normal to have puffy or swollen looking areolas? Also sometime they are a little smaller with white bumps all around them. My nipples are also dark looking sometimes with white spots on them. If anyone knows what this could be,please let me know. Thank You!!!

Over all, she is a good girl. However, she just recently realized that she knew how to give a dirty look. Following the dirty look, is a hit or slap where ever she can reach. She'll do this to anyone, but mostly does it to me. She hits me, pinches me, & pulls my hair. It really does hurt, not to mention embarrass me. I feel that spanking her only shows her that what she is doing his o.k., but other forms of discipline do not work. I've used time-out, I've tried pretend crying to show her that hitting/being mean hurts & then shown her an example of being nice, like hugging or kissing, I've tried raising my voice, & all she does is laugh at me & then does it again. My friends say that I really need to show her who the boss is & spank her hard, but I just don't want to. Isn't there anything else I can do?
