How early can you start showing symptoms? I had a miscarriage two months ago and my periods are not regular yet but I did the ovulation calculator and it said that I should ovulate around the 3rd or 4th. My husband and I had been having sex right after my period and all the way up the 3rd. A little more than a week before I am scheduled to ovulate I started throwing up at least once a day, my boobs hurt, I have been constipated, and having head aches. Could I be pregnant again? Please Help!

I am 8 weeks pregnant and having a hard time deciding whether to keep the pregnancy. My boyfriend has already stated that he does not want me to have the baby and his attitude has taken a turn for the worse since I told him. The important details of this story are that I was told 3 months ago by a specialist that the only way the I would be able to conceive would be through IVF(in vitro fertilization) due to a blockage in my fallopian tube( I only have one due to a past ectopic pregnancy many years ago). I am gainfully employed, but my boyfriend is struggling with his career. I have a 10yo child already from a previous relationship and he has a 2yo son. The dilemma is should a child be brought into the world without 2 willing parents? I know that more than likely if I continue the pregnancy, the relationship is over. I am willing to have my baby and move on with my life, but is it fair to be the only deciding party? I am in a bad place right now and I need advice.

I am 151/2 weeks pregnant and not really showing quite yet. I have a little bump that i can see when lying down on my back. Yesterday I didn't really have that much to eat and my belly this morning didn't seem as prominent as usual. Does this have anything to do with not eating much the day before?

A sitter that is more expensive, certified and has lots of experience, but a clashing personality, lack of communication and watches a lot of kids? - Or - A sitter that is less expensive, has no experience, watches less kids, but, better communication about your child?

I am a 41 yr old mother. I don't care what I went to my parents about they would fuss at me and tell me I caused the problem. It was a habit for my mother to call me a da*n bi*ch and a tramp.They would never believe me or acknowledge a problem. They felt that I was either lying or did not know what I was talking about. Even things that jepordized my safety. Now they call my names in front of small children, which she thinks is funny. She then denies saying it and tells me that my children don't know what they are talking about or they are lying. (They are 9 and 6 and well taught). When I tell her I don't like it she tells me there is something wrong with me and proceeds to tell me how I don't know what respect is. She also denies anything that I remember happening in the past. I really don't want my children feeling the helplessness that I felt when I lived with them. These are my parents and I have children that would like to know their grandparents. What do I do?

Hi I am TTC and due my period any day now. I came off the contraceptive pill in may so my periods are not guaranteed on a certain day (anywere between 30-35 days), my last cycle being 34 days and LMP 5th July. I have recently had some minor cramping, mood swings, break outs, bloating.
I did a hpt on thurs or fri last week and got BFN.
Today I have got a slight pink colour in my discharge (sorry TMI!) Is this a good sign? Is it still to early to test and get an accurate result? I didn't want to test too early and get another BFN which could be untrue and dishearten me.
Thank you

Ok my hubby has always liked the name Lief (sounds like leaf), ever since he was little. I believe he is determined to name our son that. Which Im fine with by the way. So my question is what would go with that name? Should it be a middle name? Im just confused cause I cant think of any boy names I really like that sound good with it. Any advice you have would be great, thanks.

Most Chinese will do a mini confinement, perform a ritual/prayer for the foetus if getting pregnant is not a forbidden case (eg underaged, unwed).
Wonder what do other races/people do?

I have yet to have missed my period, but I've had some weird symptoms.... I'm overly tired, not only have my breast been sore but I've also had mild cramping.. This morning I smelt a weird metal smell when I was standing in the bathroom... I usually start my period between the 5-10... It's only been 12 days since i had sexual contact (this was planned). What does everyone think? Sound like pregnancy?

My friend asked me out in March. I said no because I didn't want our friendship to get screwed. Then he asked this other girl out and she said no for the same reason. I know he's really hurting now. I called him yesterday and he said hello normally. Then he voice sounded very soft and sad when he found out that it was me calling. I said Joe, listen I know that you used to like me, and I'm sorry if I've hurt you in anyway. And he was just like Annie, why are you doing this to me? Then there was silence. I don't know if he likes this other girl, or if he likes me. All I know is he sounds depressed. He told me to stay out of it and that he would deal with it on his own. I want to help! I don't like seeing him like this! What can I do? I don't even know which girl he likes! What should I do? I feel horrible. This girl and I are trying to talk to him, but he's blowing us both off.

I saw my OBGYN after the third episode and all he said was I need to see a neurologist. My smptoms are (in order) blurred vision, diziness, nausea, right hand goes numb...then arm, then entire face, then right leg. Blurred vision lasts about an hour usually...episodes have lasted anywhere from 1 hr 30 minutes to 3 hours. After all symptoms go away I get a headache that lasts about 24 hours (nothing makes it better). I felt as if my OBGYN was full of it especially when he said this was not pregnancy related (this never happend before the pregnancy or even during my first) and so I went and saw my primary care doctor that said it has to be pregnancy related (all signs point to it) but he is not sure what it is. He decided to monitor it for a month (me monitor)...well I have had 4 in 2 months and the doctors are not tresting this as serious as I would like. I mean doesn't it sound serious?!?!?!!?!?!? I don't know, I am just scared. I want eveything to be ok with this baby because my hubby

with my first child i told them i only wanted the gas but to ask befor its too late if i want an epidural, i got the stage where i asked for one and they said its too late, but they never asked befor that like i asked. he came out at 9 pound 2, which noone was expecting cause i was not overly big. i am proud that i managed a baby of that size with only the gas. i am thinking of doing the same thing only having gas but i want to know more about epidural experiences to help decide of a back up pain relief just in case. the idea of a needle into your spinal fluid scares me. epidural yes or no?
