I'm pregnant with my first child, a boy, whom I hope to call Elliott Thomas. What do you think of that name? As the pregnancy progresses I'm starting to go off Elliott, but the middle name will still be Thomas,as its my Dad's and Grandfather's name.

I am not saying I'm for it or against but judging by some of your answers just wonder what your answers were to the following questions, If some one was using contraception but still fell pregnant as we all know nothing is 100% effective except for Celibacy, would they still be wrong for having a termination?
Also do any of you anti abortionists out there use the non hormonal type of coil as contraception as surely this would go against your beliefs?

How else will I survive, I need help please!!!!?
please somebody help me, I am 5 months pregnant, my boyfriend doesn't have money and is not working yet, though he is struggling real hard to get us through and he is happy about the baby, my family and friends have rejected me because of the shame of unwanted pregnancy. I love my baby and I don't want anything to happen to it. I have not been going to Antenatal and I don't feed well either. I just don't want to give up for i am a strong girl and I don't want anything bad to happen to either me or the baby. Please, somebody tell me what to do, I am very confused. I need help. fast before something goes wrong. Also, I am still in the University.. hope to hear from you soon. Lovelyn From Nigeria.

Hi. I'm pregnant with my first baby, living in the States and all my family are in Ireland (baby's father and I are no longer together, so no support there). Thing is, I'm really confident around babies (other people's) but I am absolutely terrified of my own!! Plus buying baby things is worrying! I'm worried in case I forget anything important to bring to the hospital, as I will be on my own (just moved from NY to TX so don't know anyone!)

Please read & Help?
Can a women be pregnant or have misscarriage with the following symptoms. Please read the story below.

We had sex for the first time (unprotected without condoms) with me as she was virgin, she was late so after doing a home pregnancy test the resutls were negative, and after 10 days from our encounter she had period, 10 days late from her original date, and when the period came they were flowing heavy with little chunks, and second period came as usuall the end date of her first period, and lasted only 5 days with little chunks again but lesser then first month period.

Does this mean that she can still be pregnant, or probably have misscarriage.

***For those who say misscarriage, how can it be possible if she had her period 10 days after having sex, doesn't the egg have to find its place or so.****

Please help us!!...Thanks.

Is it safe to say that she is past it? I know SIDS and suffocation are completely unrelated but when did other parents feel safe putting a baby pillow and/or stuffed animals in the crib?

My 7mth old daughter's stools are small dry pellets that sometimes come out in a clump. She has been having lactulose and microlax to help her to go. We will be introducing coloxyl drops soon. She eats mostly fruit and vegies and still breastfeeds mostly. Her urine is clear and odourless and she has lots of wees.

Is there anything I can do to help her or do I just 'sit it out' and wait for things to improve when she starts crawling (probably won't be for another 5mths)

My son is a few days away from turning one. He's still taking formula (along with normal foods) but, because of the high cost of formula, I was wanting to switch him to milk. He's on soy-based formula now because of gas, so I'm assuming soy milk is what he'll get. Is this the right time? Any mothers have advice?
I will ask his dr. but his next appt isn't until late next week and I was wanting to start milk this week.
Thanks for your answers! :)

Hey guys,
I am still waiting for my period - now two weeks after missed. I have had a couple of pregnancy tests and both negative. However, I am wondering whether I concieved during the week I was supposed to get it as I had a spotting the week before and stopped taking my pill the week I was supposed to get it. If I did get pregnant that week the tests would not show a positive result until in about a week. I have stopped taking the pill waiting to get cycle so can start another type. Until recently I had only mild cramps and fatigue, now the cramps have gotten much worse and my nipples and breasts are very sensitive and sting. Last night I was shaking and have had nausea for the past week. Could this be pregnancy or just body adjusting? I am going to test again in a few days if I don't start period. Pls any advice would be helpful.
