have diarrhea. Could I have developed an allergy? Is it possible to be lactose intolerant only when you're pregnant?

I'm currently taking Microgynon 30, which i've been on for around two years. Lately i've been quite bad with taking it, I missed one tablet 3-4 weeks ago and took two the next day, and recently i've picked up a bad habit of taking them late in the day aswell. I have had a breakthrough bleed and i'm now halfway through another pack but i'm really worried I might be pregnant, due to the fact that i'm really bloated, spotty, feel nauseous in the mornings, headaches all the time etc. Please help!

Out of 4 dreams, 3 of those it was a girl, only one of these dreams it was a boy. Each time I gave birth it was a water birth. I have wanted to be pregnant for a while and me and my husband have tried several months with no success. We figured if we stopped trying so hard and just let life happen on its own it will eventually happen. Coming to that conclusion I havent really thought about being or wanting pregnancy for the past month or so. So why now the dreams?

I went to the doctor last Friday because I've been having some brown spotting that comes and goes. At my appointment they heard a strong heartbeat through a doppler, but they didn't do an ultrasound. So I'm still a little worried. I've still been having the brown spotting on and off since my appt. Should I be worried, what could the spotting be coming from? What are the chances of having a miscarriage if you hear a strong heartbeat at 10 weeks?

Is it normal to have more contractions at night and early in the morning. This has been going on for about 3 or 4 days. I am fime during the day and when I take a nap. But at night is when I start having the pains. Has anyone else gone thru this also? And if so how did you get sleep!!!

My son has had a sinus/cold for the past several days and I have had to aspirate his little nose so much that it is so raw and red. Do they make a product for chapped noses? I feel so bad because I can tell it hurts him. Also, I wanted to try just applying chapstick but my husband told me the petroleum in the chapstick or vaseline wasn't good for him to breathe. What do you typically apply to your childs nose?

I had an umbilical hernia during my last pregnancy and my OB told me at my post partum check it didn't require surgery. Well during my current pregnancy it has become worse. My midwife has been keeping a close eye on it so no complications arise such as strangled intestines which would require emergency surgery while I'm pregnant. I need to have surgery to correct it and will have that and my tubes tied before I leave the hospital after the baby is born (within 12-24 hours of the birth). I HAVE asked my midwife about rcovery times and what to expect but she doesn't really know. I WILL ask the surgeon when I meet with him but thats not until Sept (exactly 1 month before my due date). I need to prepare who is going to help with my other kids and housework while I recuperate.
Has anyone had this surgery before? How long until I can drive again? How much weight will I be able to lift and how long until I can get back to my regular activities?
Thanks!

We've decided that one of them will be named Lily.

For the other my husband really likes Lucy but isn't that way too close? Lily and Lucy? They would begin with the same letter and end in the same letter!

I would like to name one of my girls after my nan, whose name was Emma. Lily and Emma sounded good but our surname is Watson, and my husband's niece promptly informed us that "Emma Watson is the girl who plays Hermione!" (in the Harry Potter films if you didn't know). Is it still doable, or should we use it as a middle name?

Other names we have considered are Mia and Belle/Bella.

Thoughts and suggestions are very appreciated!

Thanks!

Julie

I think that I ovulated on the 11th (I had sticky egg white fluid and left side discomfort around my ovary area). On saturday the 14th, I was having this really bad cramping/muscle straining pain in my pelvic area. Could this be implantation of the embryo.

I did not see that second line(I was a bummed out). However, a moment later my husband picked it up, looked at it and there was a faint second line in the results window. Has anyone else ever seen a faint line and has had it be correct? We are keeping our fingers crossed as we really want to be pregnant.
Thanks in advance for your answers!! :)

Hi

My wife & I are currently potty training our nearly 3 year old daughter. She has taken it really well & doesnt use the potty- she uses the toilet instead: which is fantastic for us. She has started to go dry through the nights now & she gets up sometimes to go to the toilet rather than going in her pull ups.

But we have a problem that she will not do a poo on the toilet or the potty.

She knows she doesnt want to do it in her knickers (which she wears in the day) or pull ups (at night). She has only been twice in 7 days.... any help/advice?

I came off the pill as I am hoping to get pregnant. I had a period a day later and am now trying to work out when I will ovulate as I have heard that this is not a real period, i.e. I stopped the pill 10 days ago, how many more days until I ovulate? Thanks!

We are a natural living vegan family (to be), and I am looking for earthy, natural or similar names.

My name is Amber Skye Willow and I love it, as I was born in the morning under an Amber coloured Skye, and my fingers were very long like a willow tree (they still are!).

My hubby-to-be and I have been thinking about names for 1.5 yrs now, and I am one day late for my period (fingers crossed) and this is his favorite name for a boy.

Thom Robert (his name is Robert, so this will be the middle name)
We have 'choosen' Fae for a girl, but this isn't final.

What do you think about Thom Robert and Fae something....

I also like the names, Dhalia, Rowan & Fern for a girl
And Gavin, Sage and Jude for a boy.

What names do you like/don't like. And ANY others would be helpful!

I was wondering if there was a website that caters to the audience of rather lifestyle focussed moms - you know, the kind of mothers that are interested in designer wear for kids or splendid getaways with the family.

If you know of any, a link would be greatly appreciated!

Taking birth control and having your body expell an otherwise healthy embryo because it can't implant in your hormone induced thin lining of the uterus or go with natural family planning and risk that you might screw up and do the do on a fertile day.
I'm aware of all the birth control methods ( I'm currently on the Nuvaring) I've read and studied many sources on the matter. Finding out that most birth control methods can abort embryos from implanting by creating a hostile enviornment is heart breaking as I have been on birth control off and on for 11 years. I'm beginning to think birth control is murder in the same sense that choosing to have a pregnancy terminated as an option for getting rid of a baby you don't want.
I'm scared that if I use the Natural Family Planning method I will misread my body's symptoms of being fertile. I'm 24 and have 3 kids already, work part-time, and school full-time. My husbands has 2 full time jobs. Its hard enough as it is! Which method seems right?

I was sick yesterday morning and I am just wondering if it is anything to worry about as it was really weird tasting and just different from any other sicknes I've had before (hard to explain though!) I suffered morning sickness in the first few months and it was different from that also.
I do drink a lot of milk at night for heartburn, could it be this. I am just a totally paranoid mum to be and worry about everything, I know its probably nothing to worry about.
Sorry for rabbiting on!
