breastfeeding is so controversial, and i hate that. i plan on breastfeeding my baby, but i'm really not good with conflict, i would probably break down and cry if someone said something negative to me about doing what i feel is best for my baby. does anyone have any tips for me?

below are some articles i have found helpful

I had morning sickness all day from 5 to 10 weeks. I never vomited, but it was all day nausea and I could barely eat.

Last week my nausea started to fade, I felt better and could actually leave my house after a month of being on the couch! I am now 11 weeks pregnant and IO still have some symptoms: I am still very tired, my breasts still hurt and I still get up in the middle of the night to urinate. I haven’t had any cramping or bleeding at all.

Is it normal for my pregnancy symptoms to fade at 10 weeks? I am worried and I don’t see my doctor for another week.

yeah, so all the girls you know named april, were they actually born in april? Would it be crazy to name your daughter april if she was born in December?

I have a 2 1/2y/o and a 11m/o.
Both girls are so sweet and play well with each other. But these past few days my 2y/o has gotten to be really upset. I'm 21wks Pg. and finally started showing. We tell my 2y/o that mama is having another "sissy" and she gets so upset. She's gotten to where she wakes up at 4.am and refuses to go back to bed until late at night. If my 11m/o so much as looks at my 2y/o sometimes, my 2y/o screams so bad and hates for my youngest to get close to me. I've done time-outs which have my 2y/o throwing herself down. I talk to her about the role of being a big sister and that she is still our baby and so important to us, but she won't hear any of it. I spend 1on1 time with her every day, i cuddle her alot, we read, play, all sorts, but as soon as my 11m/o wakes up, the screaming starts again. I'm afraid it will get worse when i have this baby. How can i control her temper and help her. I'm always showing my affection and love but she's still upset.

I knew a brother and sister who had to go to juvenile court for making prank calls and writing a couple of mean pen-pal letters ... this was about 20 years ago.

The brother made most of the prank calls to a teacher at the school, some hang ups, then he got the ingenious idea of calling every exterminator in the yellow pages pretending he was the teacher and leaving his phone number, thus more phone calls.

The sister was prank calling a girl in her class in which her mother happened to be a teacher at the school as well. She was just hanging up.

Back then before e-mail, kids actually had pen-pals... so the sister looked in magazines, got penpals addresses and wrote some pretty insulting letters using the other girls address, so she in turn got "hate mail".

It got to the point that they took samples of the sister's handwriting at the school to incriminate her.

The brother got caught when a tap was placed on the phone.

Is this unfair? Would/Should it happen today?

I'm not sure, but I have some symptoms of pregnancy. My hubby and I want to start a family though.

My lower back aches, my breast are sore, I'm eating chinese food like it's the only thing on earth left to eat, I have slight headaches every morning, and it feels like I have cramps. But I'm not more naseaus than usual, and I haven't been throwing up or anything.

This has been going on for about 5 days now. My cycle won't start until the 7th of Feb. The earliest I can take the test would be this upcoming Saturday (I believe).

My sister saw me this weekend, and took me to the side to ask me if I was pregnant. I said no, cause I'm not sure.

But could I really be pregnant?

And what are some clear-fire symptoms to make me more intune?

I breasfeed my 1 month old son, I burp him every time, but as soon us I lay him down he looks like he is in pain, and is having heartburn or something, and starts crying. So I pick him up and try burping him again, and this goes on for an hour or so. What can it be and what can I do to relieve his pain.

Okay, so there's a sidewalk around my school, now if I was across the street on a sidewalk that is in noway connected to the school and is the opening to these houses, is that school property? I'm 'suspended' from school for 18 weeks but i walk to the school daily to see my friends but I never cross that street and the same day I got the suspension, I also got a ticket for tresspassing because the fa.g guy dean called the cops as a retaliation to my 'offending' comment I made...

So please tell me if this is part of school property?? And if the administrators and dean sees me across the street can they do anything?? I'm leaving in an hour so please help me out here 10 points.

this is my first baby. I am almost 39 weeks, and I just had a dr appt yesterday. although the doctor said there has not been a lot of change with my cervix, I have been experiencing some things that make me wonder if I am close to labor. I had an ultrasound yesterday to check things out since my cervix hasn't changed much, and the baby was very low head down in position. I have an induction set for next week, but I am beginning to wonder if I will make it until then. here is what I have been experiencing:
contractions(confirmed by doctor). they are still irregular but have been more frequent and painful today (also lower back hurts some with these now). I did not bleed from my pelvic exam yesterday, however, early this morning, there was some discharge that was tinted pink and brownish. right now, I am hurting all over my body.. body aches to the point i want to take some tylenol.

what do you experienced ladies think? I don't feel good at all right now.

thanks

I have been given a scrip for Zoloft and was wondering if any other moms have been given this for Post Partum Depression? Also, is Two months too late for it to kick in (the depression)? And, does it affect your babies behaviour, does it work for you?? Just describe your situation if you don't mind., Thanks,

I have problems with my period. Sometimes I skip 2 months, sometimes even three. I was pregnant 2 years ago with twins and had a miscarriage, and have been trying ever since, but with my ovulation being so messed up it is really hard. The last time I had my period was December 18th. On Janurary 27th I started bleeding but only for a couple of hours and it was dark brown. I took a pregnancy test about a week ago and it was negative, and my boobs don't hurt, and I just need some advice. Why would I only bleed for a couple of hours? My periods usually last about 6 days. I had hormone tests done and one was a little elavated, but everything else was fine. I started having problems with my period after my D&C, and I'm afraid the doctor did something. Although my new obgyn said that she highly doubts I had a botched D&C. She thinks I may have the beginning of PCOS. Anyone have any advice I would really appreciate it
