I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant and I've read about the burst of energy many women get during the last week or two of pregnancy. I've been feeling quite the opposite. I have almost no energy, just want to lie down all the time. Should I take this as a sign that I won't be having this baby soon or does everyone not experience the nesting instinct?

Ok so for a girl we have Genevieve Amelia. We've had a few various names for boys but nothing is quite perfect. I like the name Kingston but I don't want something too popular, and I like the name Julian but my fiance hates it. We have some middle names picked out(camden,elijah, oliver, kasper, etc), but idk if I like any of them enough to use them as a first name or not, i'm the type of person who has to think about it for a while before I decide.

We want something different, but not weird. We're into old names hence, Genevieve Amelia. But we're clueless on a boys name. We have quite some time to decide, but I want to have plenty of time to pick the perfect name, i'm only 5 weeks and 2 days w/ baby #1

So any suggestions that fit what i'm looking for would be great, thanks.

Oh and also tell me what you think of Genevieve Amelia?

Does anyone feel it is bad or too early to tell your family that your pregnant if you are right about a month pregnant? I just feel that if everyone gets too excited something might go wrong or is thatpure superstition? what do you guys think?

My Baby is 5 months now and this is my 1st time breast feeding. When I first had my baby until she was 4 months I would get very engorged so I would have to pump it all out. But then all of a suddon I stopped being so engorged so I was able to quit pumping and only breast feed. She was able to get all the milk out. But now I feel like Im not getting as much milk. My baby is getting enough milk she needs her doctor sais that she is over 97 percentile so she is isn't starving but my milk isn't like what it use to be Quantity wise. Do you think it's because she is 5 months old now and bigger and just eating more so im not noticing it? Im just worried about losing my milk so I have been drinking tons more water than usual and Im still not ever getting engored like I use to. Is this normal or do you think Im losing my milk? Please help me out. Thanks so much!

I introduced it to him recently and he was not interested. I put a small amount of gerber apple juice in it, held it and let him have a tast. He was more interested in playing with the cup, and didn't know how to drink from it properly. So my question is, should I wait for a little while longer and try again, or should I gave it to him on a daily basis until he gets the hang of it?

Lilly Noelle
OR
Lilly Annabelle
(Please don't help with spellings. I'm spelling them the way they are, but am choosing the middle name. Lilly is for sure the first name) but let me know which middle name you like the best

Hi, I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 years ago... i have always been regular on my period, but was diagnosed during a routine scan.
Me and my boyfriend only decided to start trying the other day. I havent come on my period this month and 10 days late.
I have never been on the pill cos im always regular and usually use condoms, but they have split a few times.

Im just wondering, if i get a regular period (apart from this month) will i still ovulate normally?

What are the chances of me getting pregnant on my own.

P.S I have done two preg tests and both neg.

thank you

I was told 6 weeks by my midwife. My friend says 4 weeks.
In your own experience, how long did it take you the first time to express a reasonable amount?

can a 2nd grader walk by himself without the CPS being called? she's mature for her age and i trust her. i know everybody says the "world" had changed, but it's not that as much as what you hear in the news everyday.

ok so my son has had cereal in his bottle since he was about 3-4 weeks old because of acid reflux. hes now almost 4 months old and i wanted to take the cereal out just to see how he would do without it, because any of you that have to add cereal to every bottle know how much of a hassle it is. so anyway i thought he would be eating quite a bit more since he didn't have that cereal, but hes actually eating much less. why could this be?

We ttc for almost a year and always tried to have intercourse between the 13th and 16th day of my cycle, which is 28-29 long. But this month while I was on the 20th day of my cycle I felt a pain in my lower abdomen(like ovulating). When I took an ovulation test around 3PM was positive. We've been trying with a week before even I did not get a positive ovulation test and now we tried again. It is possible to ovulate that late in your cycle (20th day)? I'm actually almost a week from my period to come.
I'm confused...not sure when to start testing from now my ovulation. This was the only way, since cannot understand the cm thing.
Thank you
