Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 November 2007

I have been given advice by everyone, lots of mothers, who have said they are a good idea and others who say they are a waste of money. I want the baby close to me at night, and I have a pack and play, but our apt. bedroom is so small and my husband thinks a bassinet would be a waste of money. He says the baby will be fine in her own room with a monitor beside her. (This coming from a man who I had to convince to even get a monitor)..Will a baby be fine sleeping in her nursery right after birth or is it better for mommy and baby to have her in the bedroom close by?

Well I dont know if he is MOM or DAD, but he goes around with a bear and dog and keeps referring to them as Babies. I am pregnant and due to have baby any day now. Is he reenacting ME or something? He even puts them in bed and tell me to be quiet because the ''babies sleep''.

He will be 3 in february and for months now he crawls into our bed in the wee hours of the morning, between 1-3am usually I think. Most times I am so deeply asleep and so used to it, that I don't even wake up until I am so squashed in the middle I just can't sleep anymore. My back is always sore and I am now 5 weeks pregnant and have to get this problem sorted ASAP!!

What can I do to make sure he sleeps in his bed!!

My brother's girlfriend was pregnant, she was about 4 months along, and had made about 3 visits to a small local clinic. She started having alot of stomach pain and cramps, so she visited the clinic again. She asked the lady that was performing her ultra-sound if the pain she was feeling ab-normal. The lady snapped at her and told her, "Of course it's normal, that's how it is for everybody's 1st pregnancy, don't you read up on this stuff?" The lady started to push down on my brother's girlfriend's belly really hard, and she started telling the lady that she was hurting her. Of course, the lady continued and ignored her. So my brother's girlfriend comes home with black and white pictures of the baby from the ultrasound, and everyone is super excited. About 6 days later, I get a phone call from my brother's girlfriend at 3am and I instantly had this terrible feeling. She told me she was rushed to the emergency room because she started bleeding really bad.

I am 6 months pregnant, and I am still very small according to everyone. Even my OB says I am not gaining enough weight. But I feel like all I do is eat and sleep.. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies though. And my OB doesn't seem to give me any idea of what to do or if this is serious.. I have no idea what I should do. I am naturally a small girl. I am only 5 foot, 110lbs before pregnancy. I am now around 116-120 or a little more... Any ideas ??

Before I had my son (8months ago) I never had this. I stoped breastfeeding when he was a week old and a month later I got small pimples on my areolas that puss when I pop them. Its like a whitehead on your nose or forehead.

I am about 1 month pregnant, but none of my friends (except for a few who were sworn to secrecy) know about it. It's gonna start getting obvious, so how do I tell people that I'm pregnant? And how can I tell the teachers that I'm not irresponsible?

In 2 weeks I will be 6 weeks pregnant. I will have my first ultrasound. I had a miscarriage in july 1st and this is my first time pregnant after it. I am always worrried and obsessed about something bad could happen. I dont have sore boobs, and dont feel bloated today like previous days. I used to have cramps and not anymore. I think it helped bec doc told me to take progesterone pills bec he saw i was stressed.
I cannot wait that longer and see if everything is ok. I had blood tests on 14dop and hcg levels were 161 which doc thought were great. is it a good idea to have another blood test only for me and see if things are ok before seeing the doctor?????????????????? I am so scared :(

For the record, keep in mind there is nothing wrong with my eating habits. I have been eating all the proper foods in the right amounts.
Late second trimester I experienced braxton hicks contractions a lot, but not so much now as I did then.

*In my 32nd week. For the past couple weeks have experienced odd bowel movements that usually start out as gas, and then I finally go. I do experience constipation inbetween.

*Baby's movements tend to change from time to time. Sometimes I feel full and can see her moving my tummy back and forth up and down. (strong movement). Other times I hardly feel her and my tummy seems less full, and I usually feel her movement when I'm laying down on my side and it's on my far sides or deep down in my tummy near the bladder. What position would could this be? Breech, or head down? Any suggestions or ideas? Should I be worried about preterm labor? Let me know! (I ask because I hear loose bowel has been known to be a sign...?) Thanks

oook let me start out that I was on Depo for amost three years. I got off in July..I hadnt had a period either. So I started spotting a brownish red color on Oct 11th. I thought it was my period trying to come back no big deal. It was light and stayed light..On the 14th I had sex The next morning the spotting had stopped.. about a week later I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I noticed a little bit of bright red blood. And a couple of nights ago my nipples started to itch some and the next morning they were sore. And today my nipples are the same itchy and very sore..even wearing a bra causes some discomfort. I'm eatting like 3 times more than what I used to. Tired. And have off and on periods when I feel nauseas..Dont get sick just feel that way for a few minutes..Could I be pregnant this soon after getting off Depo? I got pregnant with my first while on the pill. To be honest right now I feel like I was feeling when I found out I was pregnant with my first.
