Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 November 2007

Two days ago my HCG level was 20.000 and today it had only gone up to 25.500. I'm 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant.
Does this mean a miscarriage or is there any hope at all?

I know it's an inter-uterine pregnancy as my doctor did a scan at 5 weeks (Lost my right tube to an ectopic pregnancy 4 months ago and had a miscarriage 2 months ago).

I have an appointment for another scan in a couple of days but I'm driving myself crazy. Please let me know what you think.

How much milk should a 3.5 month old baby consume in a day? I always feel that my son does not eat as much. His birth weight was 7 lbs 3 Oz and he is around 14 lbs now. I feed him about 12 Oz of breast milk and rest 12-14 is formula. Is Enfamil better than Similac?

She has no problem with breakfast or lunch...she'll eat anything i put down in front of her, but when it comes to dinner...she will not eat it.
I try being nice..i try being mad, sad, yell, whisper...everything to get her to eat.
It's not that we give her gross things...( i am not a restaurant and making 400 different things) and i make sure her vegies are not cooked ( she won't eat them if they are) and serve her on a small plate, so it doesn't look like there is lots of food ( which there isn't) give her a choice if dipping sauces..but she just plane out refuses to eat...then complains a couple of hours later that she is hungry. What do I do??? SHe needs to eat!!!!

I'm pregnant with my second child and it was planned. But for some reason I haven't even started planning for the actual baby to be here. I haven't bought a thing and I keep thinking I will when I get to it. I know the nesting thing is supposed to be kicking in now that I'm 5 months pregnant but that hasn't either. I'm not saying I'm not excited about having a baby I'm totally excited I can't keep myself from poking around on my belly trying to get the little fella to wiggle around and from bragging about him.
Has any other moms felt really lazy about their pregnancy or uninterested in the details of it all?
My mom mentioned with her first baby she filled in the whole baby album and then with each child she had afterwards she did less and less?

I'm 8 months pregnant and have been dealing w/ a lot because my husband and his family (wont even go into it). This morning, my husband was complaining about me...which is funny cuz he is a low-life who only cares about himself (yea, I wish I would of known he would act like this...but it all started when I got pregnant). Well this morning he started complaining about how lazy and worthless I am (I'M ON BEDREST!!) I am only suppose to lay on my side (complications from him causing high bp). I just was ignoring him as he kept trying to make me feel worthless and he grabbed my neck and then hit me across the head. It didn't hurt me, but now I just want to leave. The only problem is I'm so late in my pregnancy that it would be impossible to transfer insurance and doctors at this point (my parents live in another state) that's the only people I can go to...Please give me advice! I don't want my baby around this man nor his family...Thanks all!

when women ttc they are always going through symptoms but never actually being pregnant? isn't this frustrating that every month you feel something diff and automatically you start thinking of the possiblity of being pg. How can one control this , its soo annoying?

so i need to write a story for english, and i need help naming the characters. its tricky - teenage triplet girls. ive thought of some ideas but here are their personalities to give you ideas:

1. Oldest triplet. Cute and pretty. Funny, kind and intelligent. Seems strong but is actually uncertain about a lot. Quite independent but easily hurt.

2. Middle triplet. Funky and fashionable. Often jealous of older sister. Tries hard to be seen as an individual but needs her sisters more than she thinks.

3. Youngest triplet. Shy and quiet. Often in the shadow of older sisters, and tries to be exactly like them instead of finding her own identity.

So Here are some names Ive thought of, but any suggestions are very very welcome:

1. Ruth Rose
2. Riley
3. Ruby

1. Amanda
2. Alison
3. Amy

1. Grace
2. Kayleigh
3. Hollie

thanks guys!!!

K, so here's the deal.
I had a lesbian encounter with a girl from my high school. We were just trying it out, and It was our first time, but now we are both like a week late for our period.

Could we be pregnant?

I have plenty of girls names on my short list, but most boy names are not appealing to me. Do you like Cody or Gabriel for boy names? The middle will either be John, William, or Guillermo. I will find out (hopefully) the baby's gender on the 20th of November.

She insists on only Hardee's because their sauces have more vitamins. I think a little variety is good in a child's diet. What can I do to get her to see the light? Our children's nutrition is at stake here!

My husband has low sperm count and I have never ovulated regularly, if at all. We conceived our first children (twins) by IVF last March. I gave birth to the twins on August 17 -- I was only 25 weeks. One twin was stillborn and the other died after 10 days in the NICU. I had my first period since the birth in early October, and ovulated 19 days later. We had sex that day. I am now 5 dpo and feeling tired, nauseous, and a little crampy. Also, my nose is stuffy and bleeds a little when I blow it. Is it possible that we got pregnant naturally, so soon, and even with his low sperm count?

A friend of mine just found out she is pregnant again, and has decided on an abortion. Just 4 months ago, she was in the same predicament. She had her first abortion, and hated herself for it. It seemed like she was literally going insane from it. She had also vowed to get on BC, and never have another abortion.
She can't seem to learn her lesson. She is pregnant again, (4th time!..shes 21) And announced that she is getting another abortion. In a case like this, I think its horribly wrong. She's using it as a form of birth control, which is absolutely disgusting to me. The first time, I could sort of understand... The second time, 4 mo later? No..

Has anyone ever been, or known someone in this situation? Do you think she will really be able to go through with another abortion, knowing how bad it hurt the first time.

She would call herself a murderer, and all this crazy stuff. I just dont understand.

Because my back is hurting more than usual and my period starts after my sister's period is over. And I feel like I want to vomit anytime now. Someone please tell if this is any signs of pregnancy!
