Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 January 2007

i adopted a daughter at two years of age, she is now 14. I've been trying for 12 years to love her, but I can't. I mean i care about her and have always looked after her and treated her well, but i just can't seem to love her no matter how hard i try! She is an open, kind (not to me especially, but i notice how caring she is with her friends) girl, who, although she has given us problems with her being permiscous and such, is a fairly good girl. I just feel that she's ungrateful that we ever adopted her; maybe this is preventing me from loving her. Is something terribly wrong with me?? Have any mothers ever felt the same? (Please don't answer if you're going to write things like "You're a terrible mum" - thanks.

I took a pregnancy test a week ago and it was false. Could something have gone wrong with my operation to cause this to happen? Or could i still be pregnant? I have not had spotting or anything that is why I am starting to worry.

I saw a lady today at a playgroup I go to with the most well behaved children I've ever seen. She had twin-toddlers (2yrs) mind you! They listened (for the most part) on the first time, were very nice (even shared) with the other children. They are just starting to talk, but I could hear pleases and thank yous out of their little mouths too!

What's her secret? Are some children just more well behaved than others? Something about twins that makes them behave better?

hello, i think i am due on for my period around now maybe in a couple more days. i took two clearblue digital pregnancy tests which both came back pregnant. but i also took some cheapy tests and a first response that came back so faint positive. the first response was a positive but really faint. the cheap ones were debatable.

i've heard that the clearblue digital pregnancy tests can give false positives. can they do that twice?

i went to the doctor and he did no tests and just assumed i am pregnant and told me to book in with the midwife in a couple of weeks.

i'm having alot of pregnancy symptoms including morning sickness- all day!

anyone have any insight? shouldn't they be dark bfp's by now? i hate to ask the obvious but do you think i am pregnant?

I bought a pregnancy test from the dollar store. Read on the internet that they worked pretty well. On the foil package it reads "For in-vitro diagnostics use only" What does that mean?

I stopped taking the birth control pill at the start of October. I did not get my period in November. Took a hpt and was neg. I then did not get my period in December. Another hpt...and negative. No period yet in January. I started feeling the symptoms about a week before I tested positive. I am concerned because I am a social drinker and smoker. I have DEFINITELY stopped ALL of that now, but during the months that I tested negative I was doing this. I am not sure if I just got pregnant or if I could be two or three months along. Any advice? I am a nervous wreck. I have a obgyn app. on Feb 15. They would not give me one any sooner.

Have you ever personally known anyone to be infected with Chlamydia during pregnancy and it cause a negative effect on the baby?? I know there are many risks, but wanted to know how common it is for Chlamydia to effect an unborn baby before birth. I know that it can cause blindness and infections, and pneumonia during birth if it is untreated...

Has anyone ever checked one? Our other option is that we can actually fit it in a suitcase. Think there might be less of a chance of it getting damaged that way. We're staying at relatives, so cant just rent one.

is it harder/more painful? I would like to try a completely natural labour if my baby stays breech, is it better to just accept the c-section? the hospital I am with says that it is the normal procedure when babies are breech. I just want to do what is best for my baby I don't want to put him in any unnecessary danger. So is breech natural or breech c-section better?

I am about 18 weeks along and have just begun to feel my baby move. Hooray for quickening! However, now that I can feel the baby and it's more real to me I'm suddenly creeped out by the thought of having something or someone growing inside me. Has anyone else felt this way or am I just weird?

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I need to buy. For other moms and pregnant women, what stuff did you buy online and what did you buy in-store? Not sure I'm going to have a baby shower. Thanks!

Okay I am due March 1st with my baby "Kayla." I am going to the birthing class on feb 6th and they told me to bring my coach. I do not have a coach. Has anyone had a baby within no one in the room but themselves. I would not even be sad about that but everyone is asking me who my coach is and now it is depressing me. I go into the doctors office by myself what is the difference by giving birth by myself. My mom has not said anything to me but I could ask her to come. Would that be weird? Has anyone had their mom be their coach? She is not the happiest about me having a baby so I don't want to ask but I know she will come. Have you had a birth alone with just you in the room and health professionals on and off? And has anyone had their mom there? Those are the only two questions I want answered. Thanks

I have just started taking prenatal vitamins. We are eating right ie., all the heathly foods, non-smokers, and waited till 9 to 10 days after my LMP to have sex. We are planing on have sex every day or at least every other day for the next week and a half. What are some other ways to help with conceiving a child??????
