Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 November 2007

For the past 3 days my stomach has been feeling really nasty and heavy, sick feeling and since yesterday I've been having hot flashes. I can hardly eat, I can't sleep and I have horrible pain in my left hip. Anyone else feel like that so far into the pregnancy? It's not signs of early labour is it? Its my first pregnancy, so I dont know what to expect realy. Any advice is helpful!

I just had my last period from Oct 24th to the 30th, normally it's between 6-7 days long. And like clockwork, when would the most likely day I could conceive be?

My sons father recently tried to come back in his life. My son does not want to see him at all. My son is 13. So, his dad got a court order trying to force him to visit every 2 weeks. My son refuses to speak or see him. Everytime he calls he says "goodbye" and hangs up. The father wants me to force hm to go. What should I do?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and since last Fri my feet have been swelling up. At my doctors appointment Tuesday I mentioned this to him. He asked me if they look normal in the morning; yes. But all he said to me after that was to keep my feet elevated as much as possible, avoid salt and "since your blood pressure was fine, we will check them in 4 weeks"... ok- he's the doc. Well this morning I woke up and my feet were kinda swollen, but now they are huge. What do you think?

I labored 43 1/2 hours, 6 of it pushing, with irregular contractions up until my son crowned. the 6 of pushing I had a spinal and some other meds, but the rest of it was natural.

I look back on it knowing it sucked, but also realizing it wasnt anything as bad as I expected. I remember it hurting like holy flying flucks for about 30 seconds, and then it all being over.

Anyone else pleasantly suprised that it wasnt so much like death as you has expected?

I am 38 weeks pregnant. Last night I had a small gush of fluid come out of my vagina. Since then I have been having little trickles of this clear fluid (I'm thinking amniotic fluid?) and some spotting.
I have tried to look up information about these two things, and each site I have read has said something different.
I haven't been experiencing any frequent contractions, but could this be a sign that labor is coming SOON? I thought I'd ask some woman who have already experienced this and get their opinion. Please & thankyou!

I know it is a bit premature of me but, I had been reading up on the days when you ovulate. My husband and I sustained from having sex for about a week and on the 14th day after starting my period, we had sex. Now a few days later I am feeling crappy and getting cramps. Could i be pregnant?

i go to school and constently hold my pee in. Most teachers dont always allow you to go to the bathroom whenever you want to. So i cant just get up and go. Is it bad to hold it in for an hour during pregnancy 8wks. Sometimes it hurts a bit cuz i rly gotta go but cant. my teachers also dont know im preg. and cant know until i actually tell my parents. I just want to know if this is bad for me or the baby?

My upper back has been hurting badly. I am almost 6 months pregnant, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it, seeing as I haven't gained anymore weight than last month or gotten any bigger.Ive heard of the lower back hurting in pregnancy. Im confused because I have a desk job and don't lift anything. I do pop my back once in a while but it never hurts me. I can't sit still in my chair at work for over 10 seconds! It feels like there is a knife stuck in my back. Been using hot packs, & taking tylenol. If you were to even slightly poke me in the back it would kind of hurt! Any advice would be GREAT, im miserable and can't get into the doctor for weeks.

Hi, Can you tell me what a normal 7 month old babies poo is supposed to be like? He eats about 30 oz of formula a day and eats 1-2 times a day of fruit, veggies or rice cereal and has been since he was 5 months. But the past few weeks his poo is more formed and solid and shaped, not like before when it used to be just a big bunch of muck. He goes every other day. Does this mean he is constipated or is this normal. I am confused because everyone says different thing. What does it sound like to you. Poo is usually soft and not hard balls, he had those before too.

I've been with the same man since highschool. We've been engaged the whole time. I just turned 25 two weeks ago. We're very much in love still. I couldn't imagine my life without him in it. For the past couple months, the idea of a baby has been driving me crazy. I want one. But I am scared, I mean totally frickin petrified of it. I've been pregnent before, but we lost it- I remember how absolutly sick it made me-. I had to go to the hopsital cuz I was soo dehydrated- couldnt eat/drink anything- not even an ice cube! I am soo worried something may go wrong. And what if i'm not a good mom? I know I have some mental things going on but I'm soo scared of not being everything my child and husband would need. Is this just normal stuff or am i being crazy???

Ok I have posted allot on here about my son getting his shots.
He gets them tomorrow and im a nervous wreck.
I am going to talk to the ped because i want to get them spaced out. Any suggestions?
I hope i dont get no crap from the doc about this cuz i will change docs if she caint respect my wishes for my son.
Is there any advice someone can give me on keeping it together cuz i know i will cry when he does.
Anything i need to look out for. When is the best time to give him tylenol? Im not going to give it to him befor hand his ped said not to cuz it will mask any problems that may acur.
Is there anyone who had there baby get reactions from these shots. Im really nervous as you all may can tell.
He is suppose to get his DTaP, HIB, Hep-Vac, PCV, IPV, and Roto. But im getting them spaced. I dont know what or how but i will talk to the ped about it.
Also he seems conjested should i still get them? He has been poopin allot more than normal but not vomiting or fever.

My son is 4 months almost 5 months. And im just curious as to what your baby is doing at this age. Our son started reaching for toys, holding them, he tries to do sit ups everytime you lay him down LOL, he loves sound and lights, he can sit when his legs are supported. He started baby foods stage 1. Loves bananas :) and squash :). I havent seen him roll over much. Maybe once or twice. He smiles all the time. He chews on everything. Whats your child doing at this age??!?! THANKS!

How do I tell my husband I have no interest in sex what so ever right now. He just doesn't seem to understand. I don't feel like it period. I'm tired and just ready to deliver. Futhermore, I'm dilated 5-6 cm and losing my muscus plug. I just don't think it's safe for the baby. Please help.
