I am 14 weeks and am still having really bad morning sickness. I know when I am going to throw up because my body gets extremely hot kinda feverish before and during. Is this normal?

I'm thirteen weeks pregnant.... I have been on the prenatal since I found out I was pregnant. When can you stop taking them? Do you have to take them throughout your whole pregnancy?

me and my finace have been trying for a baby now for 7months. I was on the pill for two years but have been off it for 7 and 1/2 months now. Also my finace only has 4% chance of having kids.

Without IVF (because it is so expensive) how long do you think it will take us naturally to conceive??

if so dont you think he needs to investigate a little more why the teen is so out of control. For example, ask whether if the teen is being abuse or if parents got divorced. Thats what Dr. Phil would do right?

I'm freaking out about it. I don't know if I should keep her home and not take her anywhere until the surgery or what? How long are they in the hospital. Did your baby come out okay? I wish there was a support group for this kind of thing. Thank you!!

I am 11 weeks and this is my first baby. For the past couple of days I have been having this weird feeling behind my pubic bone area where my uterus is.

It feels like a slight twitch and almost like small barely noticeable “punches” in my uterus.

I felt the “punches” 5 times today in a row, and yesterday was very similar.

Is this just my uterus growing, is it gas in my uterus area or can it be my baby?

Am breast feeding my baby. she was doing ok for the first two months. Used to be on each breast for 10 minutes. And was feeding her once in 3 hours.
Now from the starting of her third month, her appetite has come down. She is being on only one breast at a time and that too for just 5 minutes! When I tried pumping out to check using a manual pump, it hardly came to 1 ounce. When I checked with her pediatrician, he asked few questions and said she is normal because she is active, has gained weight and not fuzzy. But am WORRIED. Pls. advice.

Unprotected sex on jan 19th or 20th.My last period was somewhere between jan 7th and 12th. Having lots of signs, my periods are always irregular so i cant really rely on if its late or not to take the test. Do you think its too soon to take a test? If so, when do you think is a good time?

I'm about to be a Mom and I'm almost certian when I tell the father about the baby that he will break up with me. I have a female roommate who Hates my cat, and gets overly annoyed when I even ask her to feed her when I'm out of town. Now the smallest question at hand is that since I feel like my bf is going to end things with me should I give my Kitty a new home so that I don't have any complications with my pregnancy, or are there tricks around having a litter box and being pregnant?

I put in about my bf being a flight risk because I'm sure people will just say for the father to take care of the Cat, but I doubt that he'll help me out. We've been together on and off for 5 years, and lately on for the last 8 months, I love him, but I just don't know if he's ready to give up his "playfulness" and be Father. I'm 23, he's 33.. You'd think it would be the other way around, but everyone tells me that I'm more mature than most people they know.

Thanks for the advise!

My kids spend a week at my house and then a week at my husband's. My husband wants me to call the kids when he has them. I prefer not to because when I do, they start crying and say that they want to come to my house. I asked him about this and he says that they are fine after. The woman who helps him with the kids says that they cry themselves to sleep after they talk to me. When his parents kept them for a week and his parents said that they cried after I called. It seems better to just love them alot when I see them.

My husband and I have a very large rottweiler, that we absolutely love and spoil (she is very sweet and a gentle giant...we do not worry about her being vicious. In fact, she's always very good around babies. She's also physically handicapped so there's no chance of her jumping up on the baby or anything like that)....We are having a baby in a couple months. Is anyone else dealing with a baby and dog? Has anyone been through this? How do you deal with a newborn and dog? How did you prepare your dog for the baby's arrival? Did anyone have issues? What about the dog shedding? Does the dog hair bother the baby?

Any tips from faithful dog owners that are expecting or have been through it before...

Thanks! :)

okay so ive been getting horrible horrible migrains during my pregnancy which actually make me throw up....my doctor gave me fiorocet...but it doesnt work. My friend gave me a half of vicodin and it took the pain away....from then on whenever i get bad headaches...ill take a half...which is usually at once a day...at night. I dont think that that is enough for my baby to withdrawl from, but if so, will they take the baby from me? and if i stop taking it now...(im 18 weeks) will the baby still withdrawl from it when its born?

My 18 month old has begun to wake up at 4:30 am daily. She goes to sleep at 6:30 pm, and sleeps through the night ( more or less). By 5:00 pm, she is showing all the signs of being tired; rubbing eyes, pulling at ears, cuddling with her special blanket.
Her bedtime has been around 6:30pm for the past 10 months.

She has pretty much finished with her morning nap, and is only sleeping for an hour and half in the afternoon. Needless to say, she is becoming quite cranky as this is not enough sleep for her.

What can I do to get her to sleep past 4:30 am as well as have a longer nap time in the afternoon? She is a babyschool 3x a week, from 9:00 am -2:30 pm. They do a great job of getting the kids to nap from 12:30ish - 2:00, but again, my child is still not getting a good, long sleep.

I don't understand where alot of these women get off judging others because if the choices they make in their life? I am a proud single mom who does not receive ANY child support because her father "disapperared" and the state could not "find" him.
I have no choice BUT to work. Why am I crtitized? why are women critized for supporting their family and not taking off?
Where is all this judgement for the fathers they aren't around?
I don't get it.
Why does a working mother have it any harder than a stay at home mother? They don't. I would give ANYTHING to be there for my kid when she gets off at school but I do make sure she is taken care of. What gives ANYONE the right to jude another without even knowing what happened to get them there in the 1st place?
