I am hoping to get pregnant. I have been trying for 10 months now and on my first cycle of clomid. I am already thinking of names. I like Emma. Do you have any middle names you think would be good. Thanks

Okay, I understand some people have no medical insurance, but even then you're better off doing a search on a respectable site like webmd than asking random people on the internet with no qualifications or accountability whatsoever. I can't help wondering how many kids have suffered some horrible consequence from a parent's following the advice of a well-meaning random person who doesn't know what they're talking about? Shouldn't we all refuse to answer any medical question with anything beyond "ask the pediatrician?" Does anybody else stress out about this???

Just curious, I'm currently 40 weeks 4 days and still going strong as a waitress! i tried to do the whole 'take off work' thing, but I sat at home thinking about how much money I could be making, and how that one day that I wasnt would equate to one more day that I wouldnt get to share with my baby because I would have to return to work that much sooner

Hi,

My cousin will be turning one soon and I'm stumped on what to get him for his birthday. I was thinking a toy of some sort but I'm not sure what kind is good, educational, etc? Any ideas? Thanks.

I am 18 weeks and I know I am overweight but should I still have my "middle bend" mark. Shouldn't my belly be just one smooth bump instead of a bump on the bottom and and bump on the top. Sorry I don't have a picture but to better describe it when you sit you get this bend in your stomach about where your waist is making it look like you have a rope tied around the middle of your belly.

I am 7 weeks pregnant. For 2-4 days I had a brown discharge. Today I am having the brown discharge along with blood. It is like a period. I saw a few clots that are kinda small. I am having a little bit of pain in my side but not to much. I called the Dr and he set up an apt for Tuesday. Until then I was just wondering if anyone had the same thing and if they miscarried or had a healthy baby.

What was your earliest pregnancy symptom and when did it appear? Thought this would be interesting to know if you can even remember I can't.

I have a 3-month old son and he's giving us trouble. He is up to 6 oz of formula and when we burp him, we have the worst time getting him to finish his bottle. He is wasting this expensive food and I just don't know what to do. I was crying with him tonight because I just don't know what to do. I know my mommy instincts are right when they say that 3 oz isn't enough to last until the next feeding (which is 3.5 hours away). HELP PLEASE?!

My 2 and a half year old son threw the worst tantrum ever today because he wanted another toy in addition to the one he was already getting. I could barely hold him, he was thrashing around kicking and screaming. If I set him down he would throw himself down and bent himself into weird positions like the girl on the Exorcist. Is there anyway to stop a tantrum such as this? If he starts getting crazy at home, I put him in his room.

One childhood friend passed away after childbirth b/c of an infection that entered her bloodstream when they had to cut her to make room for the baby.. Another friend who had that same cut said the recovery was awful and took a long time. My sister had a c-section and had complications in recovery. I'm very very scared. Any advice any of you can share?

am "leaking" (or whatever to call it) a fluid that is like water, but it looks like the color of skim milk.... the watered down milk look. (kind of hard to explain!) what could this be? i go to my OB tomorrow afternoon, but i'm hoping for an answer before that, just to clear my mind. I noticed this "leaking"/discharge last night, my underwear were constantly staying wet/damp, so i used a mirror to look "down there" and see, and thats when i saw it as this milky white liquid.

Sorry for the dumb question, just hoping someone knows what it is.
