Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 February 2007

I have recently found out I am 4 months pregnant! I had no idea!! I am 26 and in a long term relationship and have been living with my partner for 3 years. Our first worry was how 'unkind' I had been to my body over xmas and NY, however I have had the Ultrasound and bubba is healthy & normal. I guess the shock is setting in & i'm finding it all a bit daunting!! I am xcited & my partner is soooooooo happy :o) I'm just feeling a bit 'anxious' all of a sudden - overwhealmed, petrified even - Is this normal?? Thank u!!!

Kids these days seem to be getting way to much work in school and if they have extra curricular activities there schedule is full they don't have any time to do anything fun. So why is it that as soon as they are of working age parents insist on making them get crappy minimum wage jobs and pushing them out of the house before they even graduate? Kids have enough things to worry about with school and family and you want to force them to grow up before they are ready. Why don't parents let their kids be kids?

My daughter is almost a year and we took her to the E.R. last night because she had been projectile vommitting for a few hours. The doctor said to make sure that she was getting enough fluids but was not concerned because she was not running a fever and was still acting "normal". Well, I told him that we had been giving her tylenol for the last couple of days because she was cutting all four of her molars, and was in pain. But you know E.R. Doctors, always in the rush. So today she is still not feeling well, is now running a fever of 102.5 and is wanting to sleep all day, still cant keep anything down---not water, not tylenol, not formula....and just seems to have given up. What should I do? Take her to another E.R? She has a doctor's appt with her pediatrician tomorrow morning at 9 but I really can't stand to see her in anymore pain. Thanks for the help.

So on saturday night i remember touching my boyfriend and he had his boxers on and he didnt ***. but he felt a little wet I think from pre *** and 10 minutes later I had to go to the bathroom to check my discharge and im afraid that I put some sperm in me. And then I gave him a bj and it was only for 10 seconds and then i kissed him and he went down on me it was just pre *** and now im scared he put something in me. 2 days after that I went to the gyno and he did a pelvic exam and 3 hours later i started my period. Had really bad cramps this period. Then had an ultrasound yesterday to check my ovaries. He said there is nothing in my pelvic region. Im scared I have an ectopic pregnancy because i feel a pain on the left side of my pelvic area and i googled that coughing can make it hurt. Ive taken a pregnancy test two days ago and it was negative. My left shoulder hurts a little but it happened after I ran in gym and didnt strech much. Ive never had sex and no STDS HELP!!!!

:( I am 23 weeks and 3 days and feeling gross and fat. I have not gained much weight and I am not showing that much but I still feel huge and gross... I am so scared of never getting my pre-baby body back. My hubby tells me how great I look but I cannot help but feel this way. I eat right but I used to play tennis 5-6 days a week and was very fit and since I am not able to do that anymore, my muscle tone is gone. :( Am I being unreasonable or do other pregnant woman feel this way? Thanks ladies. :)

Hey, i am currently 39 weeks pregnant... 3.5 cms dialated and the baby is completely droped (acording to what my doctor told me on tuse) i have been haveing contractions about 1 MAYBE 2 every 40 to 45 mins... my doctor said that they are not close enough together and that i should try some walking.... well my husband is at work and works a good portion of the day, the only times i can really walk is on the weekends. there is no family or friends that live close to me and the ones that live 20 to 30 mins away work alot too... so i was wondering will doing house cleaning/chores help take the place of walking and possibley speed up the contractions? i have tryed warm baths and it doesnt work, i get alot of contractions, but once the bath is over they go back to every 40 to 45 mins. if you dont think that will work does anyone have anything else i can try, maybe certain exercises? keep in mind sex is out.. cause my husband is at work lol... thanks in advance.

Why can't they just take a test already? It's not that hard or expensive. I think they're free at Planned Parenthood. I'm so sick of it. Nobody on here cares if you're pregnant or not.

So my friend was 6 weeks pg and lost the baby. She just found out her mom has breast cancer. She really wants her mom to be around when she has kids and her mom really wants to be a grandma. Well, she's not married, she's 19 and doesn't have a house yet but her and her boyfriend are looking 4 1. She really wants to have a baby while her mom is still around. I'm not sure its such a good idea to get pregnent so young on purpose because of something like that. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm 20 and happily pg, I don't a major problem with young moms as long as they can support themselves and a baby but I just don't know if that is the right reason to have a baby. What do you think?
