Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 February 2007

my husband and i are having a really hard time with our marriage as of right now we are not together. i left him due to his extra curricular activities. ( drugs ) we have four kids together and for the most part they are great kids. but my daughter is not listening at all to me. in fact she would rather spend the time at my mothers house then at home with me. i know that she would be adjusting to the situation but to be completely honest she thinks that her father is at work not that we are seperated or that he does drugs. i do not want them to think ill of their father. i am not the type of mother that lets her children get away with all types of things, but i am not a drill sargent either. my mother on the other hand would rather let her do whatever she wants, i dont know how to disapline her without making her hate me. iam the only parental figure left in her life. i am scared that she will hate me and ill lose our relationship. what do i do. oh by the way my daughter is only 5.

Since I have been pregnant, I am highly intolerant of anything high in sugar. When I do drink or eat anything (from juice to soda to even sweetened water) sugary I have morning sickness right away. Is there anything the doctor can give you to prevent this problem?

My cycles are normally irregular and lately they have been regular (37 days) I am TTC and I want to use ovulation predictors kits (OPK'S) what day should I start testing using them??

BTW I am using a fertility monitor currently I am on CD 19 and still reading high since day 7!!!!! No peak days or ovulation yet.

I am doing this to determine if I am ovulating or not. The Drs say I am NOT ovulating, but won't do anything until late March or April. I haven't ovulated according to them since giving birth to my son over a year ago!!!!!!!

Any tips, what else I could do to check?

What name is "Connie" usually short for?

Also, is "Florrie" short for Florence?

Or are these names usually used as full names?

and later regretted it? (I haven't, but I'm curious to know how many women wish they hadn't done it)

I have been irregular the past few months and I am now a week late. He was only in me for a few minutes and he was no where near ejaculation. The past day or so I have had to pee a lot. I have been stressed with school and I have gained weight lately due to quitting a sport that basically ruled my life.

I may be diagnosed with it if my BP doesnt come down, they also found protein in my urine. I am only 18 and a half weeks, they typically dont diagnose PE until 20 weeks. Anyone out there with advice or stories they want to share? I need some inspiration. Anyone have it and deliver a healthy baby?!

I had a c-section on the 12th.. My Ob said we could resume sex- as soon as i stopped 'bleeding' and that if it was before my 6 week check-up to just make sure we used protection. I'm already waaaaay feeling the urge to have sex again-- my bleeding hasn't completely stopped- but today i didn't have any discharge at all- and then just a small amount tonight. (ive been able to only wear pantyliners the past 2 days because my discharge has decreased soo much). So is it safe to resume sex again as long as i'm comfortable? And also- why do they say to wait until you've stopped bleeding? just curious. Thanks for any advice.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and wondering about the whole soft, long cervix deal. Thanks for any advice! Oh, and I keep getting sharp, dull shots of pain through my right upper thigh...? Any advice to what that is, probably a nerve being pinched, right? Thanks guys!

How did you know that you were in labor? Besides the obvious, like contractions, what else did you experience? Did you have the nesting urge? Nausea? What else?

When ur pregnant and ur sense of smell heightens, does that mean that you can just smell things from a longer distance? or does heightened sense of smell mean that the scent makes you sick? Say for instance I was in the upstairs and someone was eating corn and I could smell it even though corn doesn't really have a potent odor. It didn't make me sick either. IS that what heightened sense of smell means? Just being able to smell things that normally don't have a very strong odor or something? SORRY, if you gals read my posts, I can't explain anything lately!! Thanks!

ok Due to a fertility calendar.. my implatation day would have been on Feb 19th. Well I happened to spot a tiny bit that day.. Next day I only spotted one time now I have been spotting only when I wipe for the last 2 days.. Its a light pinkish color! My period is not due for 3 more days... I know fertility calendars are not always on track I understand that Im just not sure about the implantation bleeding I figured I would have started my actual period if thats what it was but Im not just spotting still light pink spotting....

My 4 month old has always hated tummy time, we can’t go longer than 5 minutes without starting to cry. We have a play mat, I put toys in front of her and help her to push up but nothing works. She can’t roll over, but can turn from side to side. Will she learn to roll over without tummy time? Does that jeopardize her chances of crawling? Thanks.

I had a c-section 4 weeks ago and it was sewn up with dissolvable stitches. All the nurses commented in the hospital how nice the incision was. The problem is there is a hard fold of skin that hangs over it. It is not loose skin, and it is not belly fat. It looks like I have a smiley face on my stomach. I knew I would have an incision scar, but I wasn't prepared for this fold over. Did anyone else have this happen? Does it ever go away? I am very depressed about it :(
