Why is it that many people are so rude when you are asked if you are breastfeeding and you mention you are using formula? I only ask because it has happened to me...my baby is 3 weeks old and I tried to breastfeed, went through lactation consultants, rented a hospital grade pump, and ended up with all sorts of problems. I ended up switching to formula which was a decision that alleviated my stress and made me much calmer with my baby...hence, I have a baby who now is also calmer and happier.
I know that breastfeeding has indisputable benefits, but I fail to understand why if you choose to formula feed so many people look down on you for it. I certainly want what's best for my baby...my decision was made because I was so stressed out breastfeeding that I didn't feel I could be a good mom for her when I was feeling that way. But now I have a lot of people telling me that my decision is wrong. I'd like to know why people feel the need to judge others with regards to this issue.

I am 20 and a full time college student as is my boyfriend. We are both on our parents' insurance plans (you can be until age 25 as long as you attend school 5 months out of the year). We both plan on attending school still after we have the baby with the help of our families. So I was just wondering how we would provide our baby with health insurance. Could it be covered by our parents's plans still? help!

We are friends known each other for over a year. We know a good amount of stuff about each other. We are always joking around and touching each other. He will stroke my arm, hug me, tells me he loves me, joke around, poke me. Recently we were at the mall together and he had his arm around me. My friend Hailey and I were shopping with him. Hailey decided to go into another store so he followed me instead of her. He was tapping my butt with his bag and was smiling with me. we were holding hands for a while too. We wer talking about semi and he said he wasnt going with this girl anymore. He asked if I was going. I said yes and he said "Good". During all day band rehersal he pushed his way to sit with me next to me. He moved his seat during band to be by me. We talk so much. In the halls he comes up and touches me. Are we really good friends or does he want more?

At the beginning of Januray I noticed my birth control was wrong. It had sayed I was on a different day then I was suppose to be.

I asked my mom what I should do, and she told me next time I bought a pack of pills, to take 2 a day. So I took 2 a day for about 4 days ( 8 pills in 4 days ) until I got on the right date.

Well, about a week or so later I woke up with bad stomach pains and started my period the next day. I wasnt suppose to start for atless 3 more weeks.

I figured I started it early because I had took all of those pills at the beginging of the month. The weird thing is, my period lasted for 2 weeks. It started out dark and got light and went away yesterday.

Here is my problem. Im starting to think im pregnant. I have a very small frame and im skinny, but my stomach is just getting big and ive been so moody and emotional about everything and eating constantly.

Was I bleeding because i took so many pills?
Could it mess me up and got me preg?

Im sort confused! Help!

I recently found out that I am pregnant. Last night my boyfriend and I had sex and this morning I woke up with a blood stain on my underwear. I became very upset and spent the entire day in the Emergency room, getting lab work and ultra sounds done.

The doctor left me with nothing but unanswered questions. She said that my cervix was closed which means that I am at risk of a miscarriage but am not experiencing one at this time. yet she also said that it was possible i was having a miscarriage. Another possibility is that the baby was conceived very recently (Nothing was detected in the ulterasound tests) which explains the low pregnancy level (I think it was only in the 70's)

the start of my last period was Dec. 25, 06. i have been going through an emotional roller coaster all day and would like some imput on what could be happening. i am to go back in two days to get some more blood work done to see if my pregnancy levels have dropped or increase. i can't wait that long!
