Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 November 2007

Ok this may seem a little confusing to some but around 2.5 months ago I was feeling a little under the weather so I took a HPT. I got a faint positive line, then followed by negatives. I went to my gp and showed him a test his responce was that it was a positive line bu more then likely I had experienced an early mischarrage. I had a bllod test done and it was also negative. I have not bleed at all and my mentural cycle is still absent, I do suffer from PCOS so missing a period isn't rare but not for this long. I am suffering form weight gain, larger boobs really bad heartburn. I don't know what to expect and I would really love to hear from anybody whom has experienced this themselves or know of anyone who may have experienced it, any piece of information would be fantastic.

My mom's dachsund jumped on my belly. I am 24 weeks pregnant and was wondering if I should be worried. I was just in the hospital over the weekend because I was in a car accident and my uterus was bleeding slightly (5 ccs). The next day it was down to 3 ccs so they sent me home. I was having contractions when I was in the hospital and I am not now. I have felt the baby move since the dog jumped on my stomach and I called my doctor's after hours service and the doctor I talked to said that she wasn't worried unless I start having contractions. Maybe I just worry too much, but I just wanted some other opinions. Do you think that I should be worried? I would say that the dog weighs about 10 pounds maybe. It hurt when she jumped on me and for like 5 minutes after, but I feel ok now. Should I be worried? Has anyone else had this happen to them and everything was ok?

It's surprising I'm asking this question for I just gave birth. Anyways, I read that breastfeeding is a source of natural birth control if practice correctly. Anyways, I don't really know if I ovulated or not, but on the day we had sex....... I had clear stretchy cervical mucous.... Could that be the sign of ovualtion? We had sex on November 22nd and I took a pregnancy test on the 27... it was NEgative... Could that be too early? It's hard for me to wait since I haven't got my period since I gave birth in July.

This past few days, I have felt lots of cramps. Could that be a sign of implantation happenning? Today, I kind of felt nausious but I think it's because I'm lack of sleep. My last pregnancy was planned...

Sorry for the "TMI"...

Please... serious answers only. I hate those people who answer so rudely and sarcastically.

When I was a teenager and my room was messy, my Dad had an obnoxious way of dealing with it. He would wake me up really really early before school started and stand over me.

He'd point and be like, "Pick that up" "Pick that up" and point at items on the floor. I don't know why, but it felt kind of degrading, especially because he'd yell and curse if I showed the least bit of attitude or annoyance.

Anyhow, my daughter is five and spent the weekend with my parents. She called me on Saturday crying because my Dad had done the same thing to her.

I wasn't sure how to react. I kind of distracted her by talking about something else so she'd stop crying.

It's not like my daughter sits around hitting herself in the head all day long. She's incredibily smart for her age, very social, very talkitive, and very happy & energetic.

Just once in a while, she'll have a toy (whether it's soft or hard) and hits herself with it by accident, then does it again.

I only asked about it, to see if anyone else has ever had this. I asked in the PARENTING category, because I wanted PARENTS to answer, and help me out. Now just simple minded people who have no clue about kids.

I am currently 19 wks pregnant and our little one was recently diagnosed with a serious heart condition. My doctor keeps telling me that I need to get a flu shot to protect the baby, but I'm a little skeptical. I have never had a flu shot before and I'm worried that it will make me more sick than anything.

I am almost a week late for my period and today I thought i had my period during class today so I checked and it was the size of my panty liner and its brownish red. I wiped to see if it was discharge or if its really blood and the tissue had red and brown in it. I put on another panty liner and checked it 20 minutes later to see that it was almost filled up and it was. I put on a third one and there's barely anything on it anymore. I wiped to see if there was still some left and there was brown and pink on the tissue. I think it stopped but I've been having cramps all day. I dont even feel like im bloated either... Could this be implantation bleeding?

I'm not sure if im pregnant or not, and i dont want to be since i'm only 16.

My son is 6 weeks old and was born at 36 weeks and only weighed 3lbs 6oz because of problems with the placenta--he was only small and had no other problems, but was in the ICU for 2 weeks to gain weight. He now weighs almost 7lbs. I've been debating how much to take him out and whether I should let friends with children visit because of disease risk. I'm curious how other parents of early or small babies handled this.

Ok, I had sex the night of April 7 (morning of the 8th)

Felt like my period was coming like usuall (cramping, etc)

On the 15th had light bleeding or spotting and was gone by the next day. Then maybe somemore spotting the day after.

The doc is counting April 15th as my last period. But my periods are usually REALLY bad and 5 days. Could this be my body noticed I got pregnant as I was about to start my period? Or even implantation bleeding from the 7th?

For my ultrasound she said April 11th and said I was 12wk/6days, when I seen the doc again he said we are 4 days off and kept my due date of Jan 20. How could she have given me a date of April 11th of the size of the baby if my period was April 15th? This is what im not understanding. I explained to the doc about the "weird period" and thats when I think I got pregnant. but he says we are right on time w/the dates.

Could he be wrong and not understanding me?

Ok, so is it obvious that I just found out I was prego! I'm freaking out cause I haven't a clue what to do. I know I need to get to the doctors ASAP, which should be in a week or so, once my insurance goes threw. But what in the meantime? I've started taking a prenatal vitamin. But I feel horrible! I am sleeping non-stop. I'm very tired & have an increase lack of energy. I don't feel like eating, or cleaning, or even waking up for work. I just have a very carefree... careless attitude. I'm sure this is all very normal. But I didn't know if there was maybe something I should do or something I could take to boost my mood? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hopefully I get some better answers this time around!!
baby is comfy and fed, just manipulative! My almost 8 month daughter has HORRIBLE sleeping patterns!! She tries to stay up till about 10, I put her down. She wakes to nurse around 2, then stays up for about 2 hours--wriggling away from me so she can practice crawling or throw a temper tamptrum!! I put her back to bed around 4 or so, and then she is up around 7 to start the day. UHGGG!! I can't nap when she naps either, because I have a 3 year old. IT's also hard to let her scream it out, because the two share a room.
Anyway, my plan tonight is to have my 3 year old sleep w/ me. When the baby wakes up crying, I will try rocking her for a few minutes and then sticking her right back to sleep. After a few minutes of crying I will check on her, and then leave the room again for 5. I'll try to continue doing this until she passes out! Any suggestions? Has anyone else tried this or something like it? What worked for you? I need tons of support--this is gonna be rough, but it can't get too much worse than it has been!
