I'm only 6 weeks been having light cramps, backache, headache, tired all the time and last night sleeping i thought i'd burst into flames (hormones changing i guess) ANYWAY when i woke up i went to the bathroom walked around my house and then I felt wet and realized my bladder had let loose and I'd wet myself! About a tablespoon, not just a little drop. Has anyone ever had this happen so early on in their pregnancy? Hasn't happened in about 5 hrs.

I love reading children's books. They are so cute and entertaining and informative and wonderful and and and ( I thought all those ands where just funny). I would love to write children's books and I am wondering with all the competition and selection, what could help me sell and get started in this field.

What would I have to do for you to purchase my children's books? I thought of being on Oprah but I would like some more ideas.

My bf & I have been together for a little over 3 years. 3 rocky years I might add. We don't live together. I told him as soon as I found out, he seemed to take it well, said "we've had our ups & downs but we love each other, we'll get thru this." He also seemed somewhat excited & made comments about having to get used to going out to get me food for cravings. He also said no matter what I decided to do he would be there no matter what.The next night when I saw him, he seemed a bit more sober. He said how how neither one of us have any money saved & how his hours are awful & always have been (he's been working 12 hour days, usually 6 days a week I know hes there so its not a question of if hes out partying or anything.) We left that conversation as I (we) had to make the decision soon. Yesterday he called me from work & askedif I'd been thinking, I said I seem to lean 1 way then the other. He asked which way I was leaning now. When I said keeping it he sighed. Then proceeded to to say

I'm 21 and 10 weeks along, and I have absolutely no friends that have children or are even trying. All of my girlfriends are freshly 21 or in the early-mid twenties and they are club & bar scene fanatics. I feel like I will lose touch with my closest girlfriends because we will no longer have many things in common. I'm sure I won't be interested to learn who has hooked up with whom the past weekend, and most likely my friends won't be excited to hear about how the baby is finally latching on or has settled into a nice sleeping schedule. Sure they will be there for me, but it just seems so nice to see two friends raise their babies together. Anyone have any advice or insight from previous experiences? Thank you guys:)

every night the past week from a deep sleep crying. When we ask him why he's crying he won't answer. Last night I fell asleep in his bed and at 11pm, he started to whimper and cry out. So I woke up and actually watched him, he was asleep and started to toss and turn and was crying in his sleep. He did not actually wake up until I started to hug him and ask him why he was crying. And once again, he would not answer. We asked him yesterday afternoon why he woke up the night before crying and he said he had a bad dream. This morning we asked him why he woke up crying and he said "no reason".

Do you think this is normal or is there something causing mental anguish at this age? It scares me to death to think the latter.

Personally I look at my 13 month old son and think that no matter what he ever ever ever did, I would never spank him. I'd let my little angel baby run me over with my own car before I would let him have it. But then my SIL's son, who is a little older, throws a cup of milk on my floor and I could string him up by his toes! So I have a new-founded sympathy for parents who let their kids get away with murder, because I might be one of them one day.
But I don't want to be one extreme or the other, and I don't want to raise a bad kid. I got spanked once or twice with my dad, and am still resentful to this day. My mom smacked me more often, but it wasn't as dramatic, and it only fueled my rage, not causing any real physical pain, and again, I still get mad when I think about it. The fact is my sister and I were good girls and its either because of or in spite of the disipline.
I'm just lost sometimes when I think about what kind of parent produces what kind of kid. Anwers?

I am 29 weeks pregnant and have a hernia just above my bellybutton. My Dr said it was fairly common, but wanted to see if any other women had experienced this and see how long after giving birth it took to go away and also what you did to strengthen those abdominal muscles fast? Also wanted to see if it was even more painful to give birth because of the hernia. Thanks!!

I am considering a gift for the Doctor that delivered my child. What is the traditional gift for such an event?

I was thinking a 'silver dollar' or something similar.

Thanks.

I am 21 weeks pregnant and I'm just curious to find out if you think women take after their own mothers in pregnancy and labor? My mom was over 70 hours in labor with her first and ended up having to have a c section. She was 14 hours in labor with her second (me) but did have a vaginal birth. My brother (the first one) was also 3 weeks early, and weighed 6 lb 11 oz. I was only 1 day early and weighed 6 lb 10 oz. Do you think that my labor will be anything like that of my mom? and what about the size of the baby? thanks in advance for your opinions.

Okay this is my first baby I am due on Tuesday. They said if I had progressed they would do something on Tuesday most likely induce to get this baby out. Up until lastnight I was fine I was ready for it to just get outta me. But now I am completely terrified and I don't know if I will be a good mom. I know its gonna hurt and it scares me. Mostly I am afraid of being a mom. This is FOREVER! Everything I do will effect this child. This is alot! I thought about all this before but it was never this intense. I'm only 22. Has anyone else felt this way and been a good mom?

I recently planned an evening with three other couples (two of the couples have children). No one mentioned children and I assumed the couples with children would be leaving their kids home with sitters. Though the evening had to be cancelled for unrelated reasons, I later found out both couples had planned on bringing their kids. When I was young, my parents would never have taken me out with their friends without mentioning it first. Has etiquette changed?

I am 13 weeks pregnant with our first baby! :)

My husband has had 3 dreams about our baby and in all of the dreams it was a girl. I had my first dream last night about the baby, and it was a little girl. I am hoping our dreams are right about us having a daughter!

Did you have dreams about your baby's sex, were they right?

Ok so i am 13 weeks pregnant, and i have noticed in my body changes, i have gained some weight, clothes fit tighter, and tight clothing is very unconfortable. But when did you actually start 'showing'? when did your belly become rounder. I carry all my extra weight in my belly anyhow, and am curious because i feel like i see it already, this isnt possible is it?

I know that there are hundreds of posts about pregnancy, and I tried to scope them out of answers before this post...still, I need some personal advice.
I am on birth control pills, loestrin 24 fe. I sometimes forget to take them at the right time of day, but have only missed a day once or twice ever. I have been taking this brand since September 2006 and have been on bcps for more than a year. Right now I am about a week and a half away from my period (according to the pill pack) A week ago I had a dream and an intense feeling that I am pregnant. Two days ago I started having cramps and brown spotting and nausea off and on. It lasted for two days. I am still having waves of nausea. My breasts are tender and my stomach is bloated (my pants are almost too tight on me). I have been extremely tired. From anyone's personal experience, does this sound like pregnancy?
