Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 August 2007

Is this normal? It's actually the complete opposite for me because I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and I'm usually ALWAYS constipated and I only use the toilet once a day or less. Now, I am using atleast 2 -3 times a day with intestinal cramping, diahrea/loose stools for a week an a half or slightly longer.

Any relation to starting labor soon (in a few weeks?) or just something that comes with pregnancy?

and let me add that she LOVES it and it makes me a nervous wreck. She does great, but is there any advice or tips to make her stand out or anything? I have never been exposed to this sort of thing and as usual am pretty worried and just ready to be done (for this time) Just curious...

How do i tell the hostess of my baby shower i want a co-ed one? I want the baby's father present. Is this odd or a new fad? Oh and who does the baby shower?

I'm almost 23 weeks preg and I worked out before I was preg but now when I work out, I get this weird pain...

you know that stitch-in-the-side feeling during working out? (i always got it if i tried to run or jog)
i have been getting it almost every time i walk now, whether it's on the treadmill or concrete
but only while intentionally working out, not just walking the market or to get a rickshaw
It's on my right side. it's not a pain, but a cramp, like i ate right before working out or something, but i didn't
sometimes if i slow down it goes away, but sometimes if i push through about 10 min later it goes away completely.

i just wonder how safe it is or not...it would seem a cramp would signal my body needs a break, but i wonder why it's doing it all of a sudden and why it goes away.... has anyone had this before or knows what this is??

I am so scared I'm about to have a kid. I don't even know if I want her. I know that is a bad thing to say, but I had a really bad experience while pregnant. I don't know if I can do this being a single young mother. I do not think I was ready for a child. The father is not supportive so it hurts even more. I think she deserves better then what I can give her. I try to be positive about the situation. but tears bring my joy down everyday. some say i will not be able to party or date that my life is over. and i made a big mistake by not getting an abortion. I am starting to feel this way to I do not know what to do. I know if I give her up for adoption my family and peers will look down on me. THe father says its my fault and i have to live with the consequences. And that i can't date or go out. that my life is over. and tells me i can't raise this child. i need some serious advice I feel like i am losing it.

So what are the odds of a second?

Emilyn.

its growing on me...
i think i like it spelled Emilen better though.
Because Emilyn has Emily in it,
so it looks like a typo with the 'N'
just curious... your thoughts?

She said that the birth went very quickly.

Well, duh!! What a moron...She has been stretched out by 16 other children. Of course it went fast!!

Why does anyone need 17 children?

I could not imagine having that many. The expense would be more than most families could afford. Also, the issue of time, and attention.

Okay my son has ADHD and gets diapers from somewhere . I think he buys them himself! He says that he just goes to bathroom and then he's done. But i think he likes to . So i'm buying him diapers and making him wear them. he doesn't go to the bathroom in them when i'm around because i think he doesn't want me to know he likes them but a soon as i walk out the door he starts going in them. and when i come home he's clean because he puts a new one on. i know because when he was at friends house i went in his room ond found a diaper filled with pee and one filled with poop. and then i checked his room and again and the one with poop was gone so he was wearing it. I'm having him go see a pschologist. but Does god dislike him for doing that? is he sinning? and i'm being bad by letting him wear them Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please

special needs- as in the child would be in a wheelchair for the rest of their life, has to be fed, can hardly talk.... serious 'special needs' - would you get an abortion, or would you raise this child?
