I need to know if you think I could be pregnant. Please don't say go take a test I know I have to take a test to be certain but I cant get one until tomorrow. Okay so I've been feeling sick and getting really bad headaches. Also, Ive gained some weight very quickly and I don't know why. Right after I gained some weight my appetite increased. I'm on birth control though I know you can still get pregnant on birth control. And I cant wait until my period because I don't get one. Am I overreacting or whatever or do you think I could be pregnant? .

I have a Gestational Diabetes and attended the diabetes class from the 3rd month of my pregnancy until now. Everything went fine, I've been able to control my sugar level with proper diet and exercise. My diabetes doctor told me that all has been excellent, baby is ok, and my OB agreed on that - I only gained 15 lb throughout my pregnancy. I am due after Thanksgiving - Nov 26. But today, my doctor says that normally if a peson is diabetic, they usually induce the patient 2 weeks before the actual due date (??). Is that corect? I don't believe in everything the DR says, so she suggesting that I should be induced on Nov 16 - the Friday before Thanksgiving week (??).
She says that the baby might get bigger if it reaches my due date (I've just gained 15 lb! My normal weight gain is around 20 - 25 lb!). Behind my back , I think she'd like to induce me because she will be on vacation the Thanksgiving week!! If you were in my shoe, what would you do? Would you agree to be induced?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant...my girl has dropped and I've been having some slightly painful contractions since yesterday and some horribly painful pains shooting down my legs from my pelvic region. Now supposing she were to come now, would she be okay? I mean would she have to stay in the hospital longer than a normal newborn? I need some advice or some stories if you have any...thanks :)


Oh and please don't tell me to go to the doctor...if I get uncomfortable enough I surely will.

I have a ton of nieces and nephews, ranging from age 6 months to 6 years old, to shop for this year. What are some cool non-toy gifts to get? The problem is that we all have sooo many toys. I was thinking maybe like a grow your own flower kit, or flower press, or ... I have no idea.

Any ideas welcome.

But I have to know!

What does breastfeeding do to your breasts? Do they get "saggy" afterwards?

If you have the time (or interest LOL) could you tell me the pros and cons of breastfeeding?

Thanks for your input!

Ladies,

I'm 5 weeks today and for the last week I have had some cramping, ovary pains etc. The doc said it's normal, but since I had a m/c last month (although then I did not have any pains or cramping) I'm worried. Tell me your experience. Were you cramping on and off or had sharp quick pains in your ovary area? How long does it last? Is it because things are stretching?

Thanks :)

we were talking (i'm 16, and she's 20, both of us are waiting till mariage to have sex), but she said that birth control pills cause abortions, and also cause health problems, and that she wouldn't use any kind of birth control when she got married. i asked her if she seriously wanted 16 kids, and she said "so be it". who wants 16 kids just because you didn't want to use birth control? if they were all planned, then thats great, but just because you didn't use birth control? i want 5 kids, and i know i will use birth control at least one point in life, but still, why is my sister crazy? is there a chance that with no bc, she won't have 20 kids?

My 7 year old son got into trouble for "looking" at the teacher. Evidently he got into trouble for some stupid thing and he gave her the LOOK not mean or anything he just looked at her and she gave him a bad "Popsicle stick not the popsicle just the stick that's what she does when there in trouble" then he did it again and got another one and she took him in the hall and told him "Stop looking at me now"

Then how did they 'latch on' to a bottle?

I have never bottle-fed a baby nor seen somebody bottle-feeding save from a distance; I may be missing something here.

There're a tonne of women here who say 'My baby wouldn't latch on, so I had to bottle-feed,' and I'm confused -- I would assume not latching on = very sick baby, or something, who would have trouble taking milk from a bottle, too. Why/how when a baby has trouble feeding the way a baby generally knows how to feed, does an artificial nipple work?

My husband has 2 children both girls from a previous marriage. We have one child together. we have been married 4 years together 6.

My problem is his 10 year old has decided she wants to go to mom. To the point that she has told the school we are all being physically abused and the school of course contacted children and youth and the nightmare has begun. The girls and I had a meeting with the woman yesterday from there. She asked me if at anytime I've been physically abused by him. NO I have never been threatened. Looked at the 10 year old asked her if she believes it's happening, she said yes and that was the end of them believing me. He has not raised a finger to anyone in the house. I need some advice on what I should do, my first instinct tells me to scoop up my 3 year old and run screaming, because at this point they can come and if any of us have so much as a bruise they get taken and he goes to jail. Looking to see if anyone has ever been in the same situation?

I had my ultrasound yesterday. The baby was being quite difficult, feet right in front of the target area! The tech finally got a good angle, and it looked to me like a boy, the tech said she thought it was a boy too. The clincher.....when the doc came in, the baby was sound asleep, not moving AT ALL, and the doc said that he couldn't tell, you could barely make the image of the baby out on the screen, that's how far away he moved from where he should have been. I think it's a boy, the tech said she's 95% sure it's a boy. I saw the "tripod" full out on the screen. We already have a 2 1/2 yr. old girl, so a boy would make the family complete! Any comforting words from anyone? I'm getting another ultrasound in a month, the doc also said he saw a cyst on my ovary.....

My mom said she had it and went on the pill for a year and then went off the pill and she was able to get pregnant because the pill helped her. Now I have it. What are my chances and does the pill really help?
