Ok.. I am 7 weeks and 4 days.. I had an ultasound at 6 weeks 4 days, which saw a heartbeat. I am suffering slight morning sickness, sore & enlarging breasts and I am exhausted. Problem is, I am TERRIFIED of having a miscarriage! I am constantly looking up info on the net and it's driving me mad! If anyone has any advice.. please let me know!

My husband is jelous that I want to only breastfeed my baby. He suggested that I pump and breastfeed so he can feed the baby a bottle at night. Can you keep your breastmilk up even when pumping? Is it possible that I'll stop producing?

I had a little "accident" and now I need to know the best time to test. I'm expecting my period on the 25th. I've ordered a test that has a 20 mIU/ml sensitivity. Any suggestions?

Im 33 weeks pregnant and I have such a touch time breathing (day and mostly night) and the pains are unbearable. Is there anything I can do to breathe better during the night?

I mightve gotten my girlfriend pregnant, i am 27, she is 20. We live together. She has missed her period (one week late). She has cramps and is always tired. I have a somewhat large penis of 10.5 inches, so condoms are not comfortable. We have unprotected sex daily. We've been living together for 4 month, and dating for 1.5 years. Should i propose marriage if she is pregnant?

I am in major limbo with this pregnancy thing. I don't know if I am or not. I took a hpt back in Jan and it came up positive, but then I got my period on Feb 4th, took another one plus two urine tests and they came out negative. Before I got my period I had signs of pregancy such as sore swelling breasts, increased appetite, salivating, etc. During and after my period some of my symptons have subsided to include my breasts going back down, but I remained hungry all the time and still had weird feelings in my abdomen. I gained about two pounds and my belly is getting slightly bigger and I feel bloated a lot. Now I'm naturally very skinny weighing at the usual 100 lb and eat all I want with out gaining weight. My stomach does not feel flabby, it feels like a tight water balloon. If I'm pregnant this will be my second and I would only be around 5 weeks. Is it too early for me to show, or am I just getting fat?

i'm currently 20..and 28 weeks pregnant (yay!!). SO happy about having a baby, and hoping i'll be ok 2 breast feed.
i've heard that drinking while breast feedin is v bad, my baby's due in may, and my 21st bday is in sept when she'll b roughly 4 months old. i really wana go out on me bday and that will be my last truely boozy night for an amazingly long time...tlkin yrs here, if eva agn. i was wondering how long expressed breast milk will keep if frozen so i can carry on giving it 2 her evn when im hung over and ideally for a few days after that (so keeping for abt 4 - 5 days, or would it be better if i switched to formula for those few days?
im aware that most of u will say im a mother now, booze is an old part of my life, but im a firm beleiver that just bcuz i hav a baby, and all that, i will not miss my last 'special bday' (i.e, 16th, 18th, 21st). but i want to do best by my child. please help? and if u just have a go...really dnt care, just hunting 4 those ppl that understand!

I'm a breast feeding mum whose baby won't take anything but the breast. I'm due back to work soon, although it's only 1 day, but I don't know how I stand with the law on how much time etc they give you to go home and feed your baby. My baby can feed for quite some time on her last feed, do I have to take it as a work break???? SERIOUS ANSWER PLEASE....!!!!

I am trying to determine if this would be beneficial for me, i have looked thru some of the resolved questions but they seem a bit one sided and im not excatly sure the procedure. the questions i have are basically about

storage (for at home and for outings) , frequency of washing (like how many in a load), necessity of diaper covers?, and if its possible with a busy schedule...

i dont know anyone personally who uses them, i heard its lighter on th wallet than pampers but im trying to figure out if its really practical for my life....

i ALREADY know the benefits, i need to know from experience what REALLY goes on...

I have never been able to burp... my mom says she doesnt remember if i really burped alot when i was a baby, but I can't now. I actually can't distinguish having to burp from having to vomit. It never bothered me too much before, i just didn't get a lot of gas... But Now that I am preggers, I get gas in my chest and feel like i have to vomit. but i found if i lay on my side the air kinda rolls out, but no burp. Anyone HEARD of someone else dealing with this??? ( I havent people just think im full of it ) and anyway to get me to actually burp? I have been practicing since im 5!!! HELP!

Ok..here's the thing... My 5 1/2 mo. old little sweetie is very dependent on her pacifier. She needs it to go to sleep and wakes up for it several times throughout the night. I think she "needs" it right now (because of teething and all), but waking up 20 times a night to stick it back in her mouth is getting old fast. I'm considering taking it away, but as soon as I pull it out of her mouth, her fingers go right in. I certainly don't want her to be a finger-sucker, so what should I do?

Why do kids like to hide? What is the reason for this? How come they like being in enclosed spaces like dens or treehouses or kid's tents??
