Is it normal to get hemmroids at 15 weeks pregnant? I got my first hemmroid Friday (I had NO clue what that even was until I called my mom up crying because my behind wasnt "feeling right")... I talked to my doc and got a list of things I could use to help but I just didnt know if this was normal or not. Everyone Ive talked to said this is very common during pregnancy... but this early on? Did this happen to anyone else this early on into the pregnancy?

..i love mixed race children and myself and my partner are very involved in both cultures, so my children would be also. But i am afraid of telling my family and how they might react. I just wondered what other people's general view was on mixed race children?

My husband and I want to have a baby. It's not like we are definitely trying to get preggo, but we're not doing anything to prevent it. Anyway, the topic of a baby came up the other night and now he says that if I got preggo he would be happy, but otherwise he thinks it would be best if we waited 6 months to 1 year until we have a child..... Well, I told him that I can't just pop one out, it takes 9 months and that just pissed him off..... For as long as I can remember we have both wanted this, what is the deal with this new idea he has....

No helpful answers before so I'm asking again.
I'm a little nervous this month. I don't know if this is all in my head or what. 10 days after ovulation I had a big temperature drop, then the next day it went back way up and today it's still way up. My period is due in two days and I feel crampy like I did when I got pregnant with our first and my hips have been bothering me like my first pregnancy. My husband says it's all in my head. We were wanting to wait till January to try for another baby, but we'd definitely welcome an eager to get here baby into the world!
So is there such thing as an implantation temperature dip or is it just a coincidence and all in my head? I know alot of things can effect your temperature.
thanx

I am 35 weeks pregnant planning on going on birth control as soon as possible after this baby comes. I plan on breastfeeding and was concidering a IUD as they last 5 years and you dont have to remember a pill everyday. I know they are expensive but does anyone know of any way to get one for cheaper such as a free trial or coupon for money off? I really dont want Irish twins! LOL. Thank you.
OH!! Other forms of BC that are great for breastfeeding mothers please let me know!!!!

She had a fling with the nite manager at the Walmart and he was fired, so she quit. She is extremely immature and I am totally infuriated with her because this leaves me making her car payments. She already missed the last payment due.
I gave her my cell phone because I was worried about her driving around in the rural area's here with no way to call anyone. Now when I call it, she never answers and makes the excuse she "accidentally had it on silence" I figure if you dont answer your cell phone you will never get a job. How long should I give her to find a job before I confiscate the cell phone and even the car which is in both our names?

I've known my boyfriend for almost 2 years, although we haven't been together that long. We've technically only been together for a few months. Our relationship has moved really last (feelings wise) and now we are talking about starting a family and getting married. We are both not the type of people to move forward that fast and when we starting dating a few months ago we told eachother that we wanted to take things slow. Well, I guess when you know you found the one it doesn't matter how slow you thought you'd take things. We both know that we are going to get married and start a family right away. But our families aren't exactly the type of people who would understand. So I am wondering how I should go about telling our families, when and if I should wait until we are pregnant or let them know we are trying. We aren't even sure hoe to tell them we are getting married. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I am almost 24 and he is 30, if that matters.

I have a big problem. I asked this question before, but I didnt ask it right. Me and my X wanted a baby for some time. Last summer, or last year, we would have constant unprotected sex, hoping for a baby. However, I could never get intercourse with her even when I tried so hard to get insertion. I would always ***, but it was always on the outside. She never ended up pregnant the whole summer that we tried. We tried for a long time, until up 2 about april, where she was still not pregnant even from trying so hard. The last time I ever had sex with her was when she was on her period. I could still not get intercourse, and blood was running down during the time. however, the next week, she cheated on me and from rumors this guy broke her cherry and she became pregnant. What are the chances of this baby being mine, is there even a slim chance?

My insurance is only going to pay for one. I doubt if they say it's a boy it could be a mistake, but what if they mistakenly think it's a girl? How often does that happen?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and last night my Mother-in-law asked us about baptism - this came completely out of left field for me because my husband and I had not talked about it and I had never even considered the possibility. My husband was raised Catholic but no longer goes to Church and I was christened but can literally count on one hand how often I've set foot in a Church. I'm an athiest and I really disagree with organized religion, but my Mother-in-law was totally scandalized that we'd be willing to break tradition and not baptize our baby. I would feel like a total hypocrite doing such a thing when I literally have no tie whatsoever to Christianity. How do I deal with this?

We keep our house at about 74-75 degrees. Our little guy stays pretty warm. The back of his neck is always warm and not cold, so I figure if he kicks his blanket off he is too warm. My mom (who's 75 years old) keeps telling me that I need to keep covering him up because he's cold. I appreciate my mom and her advice, but I disagree with her on this one. Thanks for answering my question.

We have a 10 week old and may go to a major league baseball game in Atlanta GA on Wed night. Game starts at 7:30pm and it will probably be about 95 outside. We planned on keeping him in the consession area where it is shady, if we are in direct sunlight. But if we are in the shade, we may stay in our seats a while. I have these cool cloth things, water, and milk for him. But is it not wise to have him in the heat for 2-3 hours? I don't think it will hurt him as long as he is hydrated and not in direct sun, but I am not sure.

I found out at almost 7 weeks that I was losing my baby. My husband and I were so happy to be pregnant and from what seems like one day to another I find out I'm not anymore. My husband is super supportive but seems like some family and friends don't think it's to much of a deal b/c I wasn't that far along. I was devestated though, I've been so upset lately. I was wondering what advice you may have for me because I need some help from people with similar stories. Thank you and God bless.

This is my husband and my first child-due 10/31. It is also my husband's sister/brother's first nephew, and his parents' first grandchild. They have all done a lot for us and are very supportive. They have purchased the crib, clothes, carseat, stroller, dresser, etc. They have also helped with re-arranging our living space to make it baby-friendly. My family (with the exception of my cousin) has been less than supportive. I'm lucky if I get a phone call once a month from them. My in-laws are aware of this and have decided to step up. Let me point out that I have never asked anybody for anything. My husband and his family are extremely close. Last night, my husband and I got into a big argument because I said that I would like to take just a couple of days following the birth for us to bond as three and to postpone the arrivals of his sister/brother. While they are helpful, they are overbearing. My sister-in-law even said that she will buy the baby's going home outfit and is seriously

I've heard from a friend, that "you'll never go into labour when you've got a cold". She said her midwife told her this. Does anyone know if this is true? I am 41 weeks pregnant and have just come down with a stinker of a cold - typical eh? Can anyone reassure me?
