Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 October 2007

this is a question/rant. doesn't it suck that so many people who don't need or want a baby can just magically become pregnant? and there are other people that try so hard and it just doesn't happen easily.
i had a miscarriage almost 2 weeks ago. nobody but my husband knows because i was only 6 weeks. well last week a guy at work comes in and says him and his wife are pregnant, which is great for them but then he starts in with me on "when are you two going to have a baby? you need to get pregnant... blaah blaah blaaah" i wanted to cry and i wanted to slap him and say "bite me" but i just played it off and acted like i don't really want kids right now because nobody knows that we are thinking about having kids. we want it to be a surprise and don't feel like dealing with people asking about the condition of my uterus all the time. anyway... sending fertility thoughts to those who are TTC, waiting sucks.

I have had some spotting so my ob sent me for a sonogram on Friday. I saw the baby and the hearbeat and heard the hearbeat as well. My question is, my breast are not tender or sore at all and I'm still spotting. What's going on? Anyone have same experience?

anyone who thinks that is an idiot! Just because you still live with your parents doesn't mean you are a child, if you are 18 or over. If you are 18, you are an adult, whether you like it or not. You can still vote, you can still get a credit card and you can still do things 18 year olds can do. They think that they know all the adults who live with parents. They don't know those people and they don't realize that not all adults can afford a place to live on their own. They don't realize that not all adults are having an easy time looking for a job, especially if they are disabled. Some idiots need to grow up and quit giving the adults a hard time for still living with parents. It doesn't mean that they're stupid. Anyone who thinks that are the ones who need to grow up and stop acting like idiots.

I wrote about her being crazy its on one of my questions still so go read it first. So I was sick and puking and she stands on the other side of the babthroom door talking to my concerned cat loudly, and waits for me to come out to talk about me being sick. I just said I don't feel well, walked passed her to my room, and told my fiance I couldn't handle it anymore, her always bombarding me with questions and wanting to talk for 20 min when im sick. and I told him about her reading my personal emails and asking me about them. um rude. I know she is trying to be sensitive toward me, but I feel smothered, and who wants to be bothered by almost a stranger when they are sick?? Was I out of line? we told her that she cant just walk in our room, she still does. I had my stuff for the shower on my bed and she grabbed my clothes fluffed them out from being folded with my undies in them so they went flying across the room, all because whe wanted to know what i was wearing for the day. AHHH!

You get on here to get some input from other people that may be experiencing the same things or have experienced the same things in the past, and people say "you should ask your doctor"! We all know we should ask our doctor about these things! We are just trying to get a little piece of mind before we get to see them.

ok, my doctor called me with my test results... my hcg level was a 5 & my pregrestrone # was 0.6! When I asked her what this meant she said, it have lost this baby early. When I asked why I got a positive urine test at the doctors just on Thurs. she said, it must have been a positive negative result! What the heck does this all mean? I am taking it I was never pregnant or the egg didnt attach properly to carry the pregnancy! I am bleeding now, so would that be considered my period or would that be considered a miscarriage? This is very confusing! I did call and leave a message for the doctor to call me back so I can ask all these questions I still have, but in the mean time I was hoping to possible get some answers on here! I know I should go by what anyone says on here, but hey, it helps pass the time and someone out there may know what I am talking about and may have answers for me! Thank you for everyone that takes this seriously!

My child goes to a school that recently began incorporating children with severe emotional and behavioral problems into the regular classes. I am all for that, but since the first day of school my child has been threatened by one child that he his going to "come to your house and cut your head off" and " kill your little sister" also to " beat the h*ll out of you!" , mind you these children are in 2nd grade. Now this child threw an ocillating fan at my child and two others in the middle of his reading class a week ago... I went to the school and spoke with the principal the next day and was assured that this child would not be returning to class until it is proven he can control himself... He came back yesterday and on the playground threatened my son again. I understand that children make threats but this is becoming dangerous! I am at wits end... my son has lots of friends and is very petite (4 inches and 15lbs smaller than other kids - what should I do???

My husband and I are planning on having a 3D ultrasound in a few weeks. I will be 29 weeks when it is performed. Of course, insurance does not pay for it and it costs like $200.00. Has anyone else had this done? Was it worth it? Any stories you'd like to share?

My son seems ready for really thin cereal. He is about 3 1/2 months old, but i'm too afraid to try. I made about 1/4 of an oune of thin cereal with barely any cereal in the bowl mainly only formula and fed him ONE bite and he didn't spit it out. How old did you start your kids on cereal, should i wait two more weeks til he is 4 months old?


PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS! :)

....and I have not started my period. Fertility friend said to test today (which I did and got a negative, but I know it can take a while to build HCG). I know the luteal phase isn't supposed to vary that much from month to month within a person. I've always started my period on day 11 or 12 after ovulation, today is day 12 and I know it's not coming today since my temp hasn't dropped. So I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who has had their luteal phase change. I don't want to get my hopes up. Thank you :)

It's under the skin and I only have it under my left nipple or at least it's much less noticeable on my right one . also, my left nipple is more swollen compared to my right one. do you think I should worry or is it normal during pregnancy? and why just on one nipple?

Okay, last thursday I was on here and asked about a positive pregnancy test I took earlier that morning. I took another test on Saturday morning, because I just couldnt believe it... it came out postiive as well. I took one Monday morning (dont ask still in shock) it came out positive too, but with a real faint line...

Well I started my period today!!! I'm so confused, I really can't wait to go to the doctor, I have an appointment until the first of November.

Has this happened to anyone??? Could I still be pregnant???

It really disencourged me, my boyfriend and I are really looking forward to a baby...

Okay, so my husband got a Jeep right after I got pregnant and he enjoys going up in the mountains and taking the really bumpy, holey roads. I have gone a couple of times, nothing too extreme. Should I be concerned about the vibration and the bumpiness of the road, should I stop going? I am 23 weeks along.
