i think i may be pregnant but im not 100%. i havent done a test yet as i dont think i can handle what the answer may be! ive got a lot of the signs, including putting on weight, but that could be down to the fact that my job has changed from running around all day to sitting down at a desk, and im driving now so i walk less! but i also feel tired a lot and get irritated quickly!
if i was pregnant, i dont know if i could keep it. i dont know if im ready. thing is, my sister is so desperate for a baby and she cant have them due to polysistic ovaries, so i cant exactly get rid of it willy nilly! im going to do a test later this week as its closer to my period due date, but what do i do if its positive?! i dont think my boyfriend and i are financially stable just yet, but i dont think i could get rid of it :o(

I am pregnant but still waiting for results on how far I am because I am measuring 7 weeks further then im due to.I did page my doctor twice and am still awaiting her to call me back; but I have been feeling these sharp pains in my stomach and pressure in my area like something is going to fall through. it comes and goes every 15 minutes. Mom timed it this time, i usually dont. Anyways it feels worse when i stand up and walk it feels as if the pressure gets lower and more painful. I laid down on my left side and the pressure moved to my lower backside. Contractions?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and the gas/bloating is still terrible. Sometimes I'm so bloated and uncomfortable and ill feeling, that I cannot eat dinner at night and just go to bed with a belly full of air. I have tried:

1. Beano and Gas-X - no relief at all
2. Exercise to get things moving
3. Eating small meals throughout the day
4. Cutting out fried foods
5. Wearing loose clothes and staying upright after meals

Nothing is working. And please don't tell me to avoid certain other foods b/c with my morning sickness my doctor just told me to eat what I can.

Does anyone have ANY other remedy I haven't tried?? Other natural enzymes besides Beano that might work? I am in misery!

I am babysitting an 18 month old and he keeps chasing me around the house screaming "num mums". I'm not sure what he wants.
On a side note, how do you handle an 18 month old who keeps grabbing your breasts? Is this normal? Should I spank him?

I had a c-section with my first child,because I wouldn't dialate past a 3,what are the chances I can have a vaginal birth this time??How many of you have had this happen to you??? I know they recommend you have a c-section again,and that is why they schedule the c-section a week before your due date.

I have a 4 year old child with my ex. He has no rights to her anymore- he willingly terminated his own parental rights years ago so that my husband could adopt. She knows she is adopted, but she doesn't know him.

We went years without contact from him because that's how we all agreed to do it. Lately, though, I have been receiving email messages and phone calls from his new wife. Apparently, he has a terminal illness and now wants contact with the child. He is expected to survive less than 6 months.

I can't trust him. He's been abusive and lied to me in the past. I don't know her, so I have no way of knowing if he's really sick or if this is just their way of weaseling back into our lives.

Even if he is sick, though, I don't think it's right to let him back into our child's life right now. She's very young, doesn't know him, and I see no point in introducing someone into her life that is only going to die soon. Why allow her that heartache?

How do I get her to leave me alone?

My kid 4.5 years, attending kindergarten from 8.30am - 2.30pm. They have a 15 mins break about 10nish.. which I usually provide either a banana or a pack of small bites like biscuits. Their lunch is from 12 noon - 12.30. My child is a rather slow eater. I usually pack 2 slices of bread, buttered and a slice of ham and cheese and just plain water.
I wonder how much is consider a healthy level (quantity) should a 4 years old child has for lunch?

i mean the breasts were all ours and now theyre filled with a liquid that does not taste well and then they'll be saggy and stretched. formula is fine and bonding can be accomplished otherwise dont you think?

I have an 8 year old step son. He lives with his mother during the week & with his father & I on the weekend. This has been his routine for 4 years & as far as I can tell he has been ok with it. About a month ago, his mother moved in with her fiance & he started a new school. Ever since they moved he has started doing little things he never did before. We've seen him sucking his thumb a few times & he whines alot & talks like a baby. I don't think there is a problem in the home or at school. He seems happy until he is asked to do something like take a shower or get dressed. If he wants something he talks in a baby voice. I think the problem is that he feels like he is now sharing his mother with her fiance & he is looking for attention. Up until now it has been just him & her in their home. I wish we could talk to her about our concerns, but she will be offended & think that we are questioning her parenting skills. What can be done on our end to make him feel better?

it is a pharmacy tech position and is part time three days a week but in a month will go to more hours. the pay is only between $7 and $8. the pay will go up in 90 days but only in a small amount. my question is, i have two young children. i would be putting the youngest in daycare all day while i work and the oldest would go after school. after i pay for the childcare for both children i am not going to bring home much money if any after taxes. maybe $100 a week. maybe a little more when i start working a few more hours but still at the rate of pay times minus $150-$175 for childcare i don't think it would be worth me working and being away from the kids. my question to you is would you take the job? remember i have always been with my children so i love to be home with them so i wouldn't be taking the job to be away from them. also remember all the things i will have to do when my oldest is out of school on holidays. the job has no insurance.

Hey everyone! I'm a little over 5 weeks pregnant and I have an appt in 4 weeks to see my Dr. They didn't feel any need to see me before then. I have never been on any birth control! I am very healthy, active etc... My question is my husband is protective and a lady he works with told him I should go the dr. to have them run some test to see if all my hormone levels are okay. Is this a common thing to do?
I have always!! been regular on my cycle. I don't think I have any problems with hormone. What do you think?
Thanks for the help.

I have recenlty been diagnosed with PCOS: high LH, 'evidence' of PCOS on one ovary and a very small cyst on other.

I was hoping gyne Dr would prescribe Clomid to help me ovulate and concieve. Am meeting on Wed so will ask then.

My question is, can you take Clomid if you have a cyst on your ovary. I read early this morning (on the manufactuers info sheet) that you shouldn't?
