I called my doctor, she wants me to come the office first thing in the morning. Which I will do! But in the mean time, I am looking for hope!! However, I dont think there is much of that left!
I think I would be right around 5 weeks pregnant. I started spotting last night, only when I wiped! It started out with a brownish pink with a tiny bit of red clots, (less then a 1/2 an inch long) but today, I need to wear a pad and have light bleeding once again, its not heavy, however it is pink today, no brown and there are still red tiny clots, there also seems to have clear stretchy mucus with the blood, the kind you get when you ovulate. I have very little/light cramping, not really cramping, more like a twinge feeling, now and then! (not all the time) Do you think I am having a miscarriage? I believe that I am? Has anyone else had anything like this and it turned out that everything was ok? Or had anything like this and it was a miscarriage?

I am against it. I have a 5 year old that has never been spanked and she is better than 3/4 of the children that I have encountered.

How many kids do would you have before you think you've had too many? Or how many would be too many to have?

My mother in-law keeps buying me formula. And telling me that I shouldn't limit myself to just breastfeeding. She told me that she doesn't understand why I want to in the first place, and I can get formula free from WIC.
I really don't want to give my child anything but breast milk if I possibly can.
My husband and I have already discussed this issue with her, but it's like she's ignoring everything we say. I'm starting to get upset. I don't want my child to be a formula baby. No offense to anyone. I've always planned on breastfeeding only. I understand if it's an emergency and she has to give him formula. But she's trying to make this a full time feeding option.
I almost don't want to leave the baby to be babysat. I don't know what to say or do. What do you think we should do about it?

My daughter is 11 and wants her ears pierced. I think she's old enough but my ex-husband (her father) would like her to wait until she's 16 or 14 at the earliest. She has every other weekend at his house but lives with me the rest of the time. Shall I just get it done? He is Mr Angry and will probably shout lots which is one of the reasons we have split.

My daughter is 4. Her usual bedtime is 7:30. She just told me she was tired and wanted to go to bed and it's only 5:00 p.m. I wouldn't dream usually of putting her down this early but because she asked, I took her and changed her into her PJs and helped her brush her teeth and laid her down. The poor thing could hardly keep her eyes open and she had a big day at Sunday School (They played outside in the fresh air- always tires kids out).

My husband seems to think I should have made her stay up until 7. Whose right?

I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago now. I ended up getting pregnant. I was scarred because I have these tight pains in my stomach all the time.

Anyway I got to 18 weeks and had major pains it turns out my stomach wasn't stretching like it should so my Doc said I should get an abortion ASAP because maybe something wasnt done correctly. So I did because of the pain. This was 6 months ago.

My question is do you think I could ever carry a baby again let alone concieve. Do you know any1 who was able to get pregnant after a late abortion? Or pregnant after a tummy tuck.

I've tried to gain weight to strech my tummy out and pray I will be blessed to carry again 1 day.

I was using Enfamil Lipil with Iron in the concentrate when my baby's doctor said that she has acid reflux and put her on Zantac along with giving us samples of Enfamil Prosobee concentrate. Well she got horribly constipated with the Prosobee formula so we tried the Gentlease type but it is only available in powder. She seemed so hungry with that and was still spitting up quite a bit. So we tried the A.R. formula and she is still quite hungry. Both the Gentlease and A.R. is in powder because that is what WIC will cover. Should I switch back to the regular Enfamil Lipil with Iron concentrate as it seemed to fill her up better or is there another concentrate from Enfamil that I could try that will help? Please help me! I hate seeing my baby like this and want her to be happy when she feeds! Thank you!

I haven't been able to get adequate sleep for two weeks now and I'm 9 weeks pregnant. Is there any positive relationship between insomnia and early pregnancy? I have no nausea or vomiting, no urinary frequency so far. I am very tired during days but wide awake during nights. All non-medication methods of dealing with the sleep problem that I tried have been unsuccessful so far.

I just started using these sticks- started testing on day 10 of cylcle, per the instructions. Today is day 14, and the test line shows up, but the LH surge line isn't there at all- it's not light, it's missing. Is this meaningful, or is no line the same as a light line?

I know I need a dark line to show the surge, just wondering if the lack of a line is telling me something, or if I can ignore it.

My 3rd grader loves Hank Zipzer books writen by Henry Winkler. He has read them all. He likes these books because they are about kids his age doing regular life things. Does anyone have any other books that are about boys doing boys things around the age of 9 - 11?

The Bible does not say that abortion is a sin. God commanded his followers to kill and rip open pregnant women (Numbers 31:17, Ezekiel 9:6, Hosea 13:16), and killed millions of pregnant women himself (Flood & Plagues). There are even Biblical instructions on how to abort the pregnancy of a woman who is suspected of being unfaithful (Numbers 5:12-31).

According to the Bible, man became a living soul when the BREATH of life was BREATHED into his nostrils (Genesis 2:7). Fetuses do NOT breathe through their nostrils until after BIRTH. In Biblical times, male babies were not counted as persons until they were a month old, and female babies were not counted at all (Numbers 3:15). The Bible also says that some would be better off if they had never been born (Ecclesiastes 6:3-5, Matthew 26:24).

My 6 month old nephew shakes for about a second or so, out of the blue. This does not happen often but enough to worry us. Its like he's jumpy but there is no noise or anything causing it. What is wrong?
