If they never consulted you (whether it be your mother, mil, sister or whoever) and just gave your child their first haircut, then you found out afterward.

I am 35weeks 2days pregnant and today when I went to the toilet something like snot came off/out with the toilet paper. I was told the mucus plug looks like snot and can sometimes have what looks like blood.
Well this was just like normal snot.
DOES IT SOUND LIKE I LOST SOME OF MY PLUG?

SORRY if it was to detailed.

Also I don't know if it has anything to do with anything, but I can feel alot of movement from him (I am having a boy) in my pelvis. It is like his head is spinning. (I was told that he is already head down, and that it is normal so soon because it is my first child)

My daughter is 12 monhts, and for a long time now, she won't nurse under a blanket. So I try to nurse her before we leave home, and I usually don't stay out too long unless I go somewhere, where I can nurse her privately. I think it's perfectly fine for women to nurse in public, but I'm extremely shy. And she doesn't nurse peacefully anymore. She exposes me all the time, and she keeps turning her head to look around, exposing my breast, as I try to cover up quickly.

That makes it difficult especially during the holidays, because she still nurses every 2 hours around the clock, and that doesn't leave much time to go anywhere...

Any advice?

Within the last year and a half, I've had four failed pregnancies in week 12 due to a chromosomal abnormality that I carry and pass on in imbalance.

However, in October we went along with PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis). It's very much the same treatment as IVF, except that once the eggs are fertilized, the specialists look at the chromosomes to sort out the healthy eggs. Of the 15 eggs that were taken out, only one was fit for use - and that was all it took! I'm now almost 8 weeks pregnant, and yesterday's ultrasound revealed a healthy-looking foetus with a sound heart-beat.

I've never heard of anyone who has been successful with PGD before, so I just wanted to share this wonderful news with you. I know I'm not all the way yet - a lot can still happen - but I allow myself to think positive this time:-).

I send lots of babydust to all of you out there struggling to get a baby. Good luck to all:-)

My friends' 2.5 year old son wants to wear dresses and loves lip gloss. Now mind you he also loves Transformers. At what age do children fall into their own male/female role? At what age are those things considered not the norm?

when i first found out i was pregnant it was so surreal that when i booked my first ultra sound for the nights before i actually had (ultrasound) I dreamt and had this weird fear that i wasn't really pregnant and when i went in there they wouldn't find anything.

I know there is now and that it is a girl but NOW my weird fear is that after getting everything ready for a girl and knowing that she is a girl i dream that i have a boy!?!

Has anyone else had these weird fears and/or anything else?

We have been on 3 rounds of antibiotics each time it starts with a fever and no sleep, next day fever doesnt go away, 3rd day his nose is stuffed and cough begins. 2 times this started after the 4th day of end of antibiotics. Starting to get terrified. There was an obvious sinus infection last time, could it be allergies?

ok so my ex bf got me pregnant and he didnt want anything to do with me and i feek the same, im pregnant by rape. And no i have never done that before.
Anyway i recently became friends with this guy who says he really likes me. I then told him that i was pregnant and he says he still wants to be with me.
Anyway today my ex bf (father of the baby) said he wants to get back together and support the baby.
should i go back to him even though he hurt me? he IS the father, and a child needs its father.
whereas the new guy is sweet but i dont want him to have to take care of a baby that isnt his.
Im 15 btw
what should i do?
