I am 12 weeks pregnant and I am worried b/c yesterday my doctor called and said that I had a bladder infection. She prescribed me some medication, and I have been drinking cranberry juice. However, I seem to be so scared that something is going to happen to my baby. I haven't had any previous miscarriages. I saw the baby on the ultrasound last week and the baby had a hearbeat of179 bpm, and we saw the baby moving around. But for some reason I am still scared. I don't feel like I am showing, I noticed I have gained weight my regular pants don't fit me anymore, but should I be showing, should my abdomen seem tight, cause it seems soft to me. This is my first pregnany. Would I know if something happended to my baby. I am just nervous and I can't seem to calm down. Help please!

He knows that I have not been with nobody but him these whole 4 years we have been together. I am five months pregnant with his daughter. Never once has he ever thought that i was sleeping around until now. He has come to appointments and everything with me. So i dont know why all of a sudden he is saying this. I'm 21 and he's 23 , we've never had a baby before and i dont know at this point if i will end up alone. His friends call him to report everything I do, like "she was parking her car, and I saw her say hi to some guy". I dont know why they are in our business in the first place. Honestly I think his friends are jealous because he spends most of his time with me. now they are making up things to make me look bad so he will leave me. I'm afraid he will continue to fall for these lies and not take care of his baby girl. he even accuses me of having late nights out with guys, and sleeping with his friends, what should I do?

I am planning to feed my baby solid food. My baby's doctor told me give my baby 1 to 4 tablespoon of rice cereal.
I bought a spoon that can test the temperature of meal for baby.
Is that spoon a tablespoon or teaspoon?

I like the idea of naming a daughter after my aunt (who was more of a grandmother to me). Martha Elizabeth. However, it's a very formal name, and the standard nickname is Patty or Patsy... which is problematic, as I'm a Patricia, and I go by Patti.

Would Molly be a good choice? Drawback is that it's a nickname for Mary, though. Mazy - nickname for Mary Elizabeth, but I kind of hate it.

Any good suggestions? Is Molly fine? I guess the worst case scenario is that she is a Liz or a Beth.

And, yes, I've thought about the bad things associated with Martha: Stewart (I figure she'll be passee in 10 years), Washington (she'd have a cousin named George), the Hippo kids books (eh.), Vineyard (as long as she's not driving in a car with a drunken Ted Kennedy, she can live with this).
Good thing: Honoring a relationship with a woman who meant a lot to me as a teenager/college student and who I still miss. Not PG... but talking about it.

I am 37 and my husband 44. We have a lovely 3 month old daughter. We do want another baby and because of our age don't want to wait too long as it may be difficult to get preganant again plus the complications as you get older. Are we mad to try again so soon? It is completely knackering to have two children under the ago of 2?

I had a lot of loss in my life about nine years ago. I lost my mom and three of my grandparents within the span of a few months.

I've been letting my daughter getting away with a lot because I keep thinking, "What if I force her to do dishes and she dies tomorrow and then I wished we hadn't had the disagreement?" I know it's not rational.

I let her get away with not lifting a finger at home. She even runs me around getting her a drink of water or a tissue. This has to stop but I have such a fear that she'll die and I'll wish I would have made her life as perfect and easy as possible.

Any advice? I know it's not good for her and she'll wind up lazy.

April 1st- started my period
April 10- had sex(no condom)
April 14- milk started leaking from my boobs
April 28- started bleeding
April 29- stopped bleeding
May 2- dark thick brown discharge
May 9- blood test and pee test both came back negative for pregnancy
May 26- started bleeding
May 27- stopped
May 28- started bleeding
May 29- stopped

I have had the feeling that I was pregnant since April. But everyone thought I was crazy because the test came back negative. I used to be 142lbs. average NEVER went above 145 EVER!!! I now weigh 151lbs. Am I crazy?? Maybe I want to be so bad that I am convincing myself!

I just need to know from a nurse or a mommy. Has anyone ever had negative results when you were really pregnant? I just really need to know... I want to take another pregnancy test but I'm afraid I'm just getting my hopes up....

what are the chances of the girl being pregnant if the guy penetrate the tip of his penis into the girl's vagina and did not went in.just at the tip only and have precum.however the girl is a virgin and didn't bleed when the guy 'penetrate' into the girl.the girl didn't do any vigorous exercises and couldn't have torn her hymen by any chance.however the girl did wash her vagina after the 'intercourse' but hopefully it wouldn't increase the chances of the sperm swimming into the egg.as i read from an article,the sperm will have to swim a long way to reach the egg and most of them died while reaching the egg,moreover the guy only 'penetrate' only at the tip and just precum.so i would really like to know what are the chances of getting pregnant as the guy did not wear a condom.

after a whole year and a half of not having my period.

I have dated my ex boyfriend again for over 4 months.

My gynecologist said there was no risk because of no period and I am over 40 but I am pregnant and did not know; I did a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative but now one is positive and my stomack hurts and grew.

If I choose to have the baby will it come with an abnormality; I have been taking folic acid for over a month now; will that help?

I would like a good opinion.

I have been almost 2 years on tamoxifen.

I just began working again due to extenuating circumstances. My son just turned 3 weeks old. ( I work from 9-12) I nurse right before I leave for work and as soon as I get home from work. However while I am at work my husband gives him a 3 oz formula bottle. I would like to give him breastmilk but I don't know when the right time to pump would be. (I can not do it at work) and I am with my son otherwise. How can I get a supply of milk without interrupting his schedule of nursing. (This is my fourth baby and I know just about everything there is to breastfeeding except for this.) Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Should I wear a bra to bed also? They are tender so I dont know if I should leave them alone or keep them tight...I dunno. Also is it possible to make one breast increase in size to match the other one? The baby and I have a preference for the left side it seems easier to use and she grasps the nipple better for some weird reason. (Its not a full cup larger or anything)

I just started taking my bbt in the mornings (beginning the 1st day of my period). I'm confused because my temps are very different. For example my first was 97.42 the next 97.82 and the next was 98.34. How in the world do I detect a spike when they are all so different? I usually put the thermometer in my mouth as I walk to the bathroom in the morning. Is it best to stay in bed until you get the reading? Thanks for your help!
