Like- have you ever had something to drink, and then felt different, and thought "hmmm, maybe I'm pregnant"

my girlfriend is pregnant and we just got back from the doctor. he said she was measuring at 35 weeks but she is only 32 weeks! is this normal? could they have the date of conception wrong? i dont know much about pregnancy either. she had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and they said the baby weighed 3.5 lbs. and she is scheduled for another ultrasound in two weeks. they said the heartbeat was normal and there is nothing wrong with the baby, so why are they doing so many ultrasounds? any help, advice, or personal experience is greatly appreciated!

I went to the hospital and was checked for possible leaking fluid. I saw the midwife that is from my doctors office. She did the test 4 times twice it said i was leaking fluid and twice it said i wasnt in a 4 hour time period. After doing an ultrasound and felling my cervic she concluded that i wasnt leaking fluid but was having normal discharge. Im just not sure and am still experience the same pains and over wetness that made me decide to go in the first place. should i seek a second opinion or as a first time expecanting mother am i over reacting?

I plan on going all breast for the first month or so, but want to get a pump to help with my milk production and to save milk for other people to feed my baby. I can either rent one from the hospital which will be $60 for first two months, then $30/month after that, buy the Medela New Pump In Style Original Breast Pump
for 249.99 or Avent ISIS iQ UNO Complete Breast Pump
for 199.99. Which option is best? Or do you know of another pump that is better? I know breastfeeding is difficult, but I want to do it as long as possible. If I rent for 3 months, that's already $150!!!

I have a 2 year old who gets into everything. She writes all over everything (I dont know how she gets pens and stuff because I have them all up very high.. lol). She throws fits when she doesn't get her way. And she throws everything everywhere. And it is very hard to get her to go to sleep. She wants to stay up until midnight! And I gave up on potty training because she will poop or pee right next to the potty but not in it. And I got her a really neat potty too.
I dont want to spank her or yell at her but I dont know what else to do.

My son is 1. We'd like to have another child some day, and I'd like some insight from parents with more than one child.

It seems like 2 to 3 years might be a good length of time, because the older sib can walk and communicate more clearly by then; they could also help out if they were moved to do so.

Thanks for taking a minute to answer! :)

We live in Oklahoma and are expecting our first child in May. Ava was only #24 in our state SSA rankings in 05, and I've never met or even heard of a little Ava. The trends here are more toward Riley (every possible spelling), Madison, and other surnames for first names (Morgan, Reagan, etc.). Do you think Ava will become a top 5 name nationwide in the next few years? We're okay with Top 20, but not Top 5.

Other choices are Laurel Mae, Emilia Jayne, and Claire Diane.

I am 12 weeks pregnant. Everyone say's they can't believe I am not showing yet. This is my 4th child and they say I should be showing by now. I had an ultra sound and the baby looks perfect. My lower abdomen is hard and round. But, it is not sticking out. I am just tired of people asking me why i am not showing yet. What are you supposed to say to that?

I have been trying to convieve since May of '06 and got succesful about 3 months ago but when I went to get an ultrasound at 10 wks. the baby was no longer with us. I had a DNE the day after and (the day before thanksgiving) and we have since been trying but can't seem to be succesful, we already have a wonderful 2 year old but can't seem to figure out what could be wrong? Any answers or any tips on what I should do? I want to see a specialist to make sure nothing is wrong but I am scared that they won't have any answers or that I am worrying over nothing. I know it takes time and effort to have a baby but I think I have given it my all and still cant be successful. Please I am open to any comments please help. Thanks.

I had sex on July 5th and got my period the next day. It was a normal period. I had a normal period in August and September too. I am VERY regular. I had sex again in late September, specifically the 21st and 23rd Then I missed in October and thats when I found out I was pregnant. During the first ultrasound in Oct, the doctor couldn't detect the baby at all although I had what he called a pregnancy sack. The next week I went back and there was the form of the baby. They put my due date at June 15th. Is it possible that the doctor is off by 9 weeks? Could I have gotten pregnant in July? Because the conception date and my last menstrual period adds up to a June due date if I got pregnant in late September. Even when I went for my gender ultrasound at 19 weeks 4 days, the sonographer said that I was even less pregnant and he put me at 18 weeks 3 days. I guess I just want to know what the margin of error is for the doctor. Is it as big as 8-9 weeks?

My daughter is just over 5 mths old, from month two she has slept for 7-9 hours at night if left to sleep. Just last week she was unwell and sleeping on and off for a couple hours at a time day and night. Now that she is well again her sleeping pattern is all back to front, she sleeps for 8 or so hours during the day until about 11 then wakes and stays awake for most of the night till around 6am when she has a nap for a couple oh hours.
Please help!!! We need to get her back to sleeping at night, but so far, trying to keep her awake during the day doesnt work very well she just gets cranky and sleeps when we´re not looking!! :) Any suggestions very welcome.
