Pregnancy & Parenting - 6 November 2007

I am 35 weeks pregnant and am having regular contractions (10-12 mins apart since sunday), back pain, pelvic pressure, and what feels like bad menstral cramps. I called the doctor monday morning they said drink plenty of water lay on my left side and rest. I have 2 other children that were born preterm (34 weeks & 35 weeks # 1&2 were perfectly healthy except a small case of jaundice and were in healthy weight range at 6 lbs 13 oz and 6 lbs 12 oz.) but i don't rememeber any of this. with #1 my water broke and we went from there and #2 I just remember contrations. My docotor said i had a pretty good chance of going early due to the previous pregnancies. My contraction are strong and regular but not unbareable or getting closer. what problems or issuses could me and my baby be looking at if she comes this early? does this sound like preterm labor & at what point will they keep you if i go to Labor and delivery? do you think it's safe to atempt home remedes for inducing? if so then what?

Hello,

After months of trying and a miscarriage at 7 weeks pregnant in July i have decided to give up trying for a while!

I am 22 years old and recently got married. I am desperate for my first baby.. I recently had a late period (by 3 weeks) And was so excited and about to test when... I got my period!!! It absoloutley gutted me and i feel so fed of being disappointed that i am going to give my body a rest!

I went back on my contraceptive pill 2 days a go - I am going to try and regulate my periods again and wait until the summer of 2008 and try again.

I am just so fed up of being disappointed - Does any body else feel the same out there? x x x

Hi everyone!
Quick question, ive been taking ovulation tests. Period started Oct 24th, ended 5 days later. Took opt 2 days ago, both days faint pink lines, but today it is alot darker, however a TAD bit lighter than the C line. Now ive read that this happens and possibly im ovulatiing and if i dont have sex or wait, it can be pink tommorow, every other day it was really light, now its pretty much the same color maybe a tad lighter. The only reason i believe i may be ovulating is because i have the addominal and back cramping, I usually feel like i have period symptoms during ovulation...So is it a safe bet to have sex every day for a few days? Or should i wait until tommorow? Cervical mucus is not alot but egg like suposed to be. Is this right before i ovulate????how many days until i am.....sorry to be so graphic! My periods are irregular and i never really kept track of the length of my cycle....thanks SO much for any advice!! xoxo

It's very frustrating...I find that a lot of tmes I (TRY TO) leave my 2 month old at home with daddy for some much needed ME TIME she fusses and sometimes cries non stop until I come back, or until she falls asleep in his arms from crying so hard... I feel so bad because he feels that she hates him & he gets upset. He works almost 12 hour days; 6 days a week, so maybe it has something to do with that...I dont want to leave her because I feel bad, but I am a stay at home mama with a 3 year old as well, so I think I deserve to go to the gym 3 hours a week! HELP! What do you suggest I do?

I first noticed that when my son cries, his belly bitton stuck out, and would go to an 'innie' when he stoped soon after he was born. I brought this up to his Dr and she dismissed it as anything. Well it is still doing it and he is 7 mo old. Should I seek another opinion.

I am 35 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first child and had a few questions.
1- What does it feel like when your water breaks or can you not feel it at all.
2- How often should you be feeling contractions and how dull or sharp can they be?
3- Is it normal to be having severe back pain?

For a day now i have been having this reddish/brownish discharge. At first i thought it was my mucus plug since it was that color but, is it supposed to be kind of watery and should it continue for this long?
Then i wondered if my water broke too, but i thought i should've had more of it coming at once. This discharge seems to get less then suddenly come out a lot.
The discharge is reddish kind of watery and kind of clear. what should i do?

we have 10 children. we had 3 of our own and adopted 7. The 7 are of different nationalities than that of our own. Nahlia is from Kazakhstan, Carlos and Javier are Mexican, Maylin was born in America but is 100% Chinese, Akeyla and Reggie are African American, and Isabel was born in Spain. i love my kids, and when i look at them, i don't see 10 faces that look different, i just see 10 wonderful children, all alike in some way or another. i just don't see why when we go out as a family, we get more stares than the guy walking around in a clown suit on stilts. are inter-racial families so uncommon in todays time?
