Besides the contractions and everything you read how can you actually tell that it is almost time? how does your body change or react??

I started feeling little flutters at 12 to 13 weeks pregnant. I think I started feeling them like once a day or at least every other day. However, I don't think I've felt them again in almost a week. Is it normal that I felt them pretty consistently early on and now I don't? Any similar experiences would be great to hear. Also, I'm 14 weeks 2 days pregnant.

I need some ideas on what I can cook for dinner for my family, which is myself, my husband and my 18 month old daughter. My daughter is getting to be a picky eater and I myself don't eat much beef or red meat. My daughter is really on a schedule as far as when she has dinner, so I usually have less than an hour to have dinner done. I have never been good at cooking, but really want to learn some easy/quick recipes to start with. Any ideas?

My baby came home on Similac Advanced, but made him very gassy and fussy, was then switched to Similac Sensitive by my Ped. and did not help and started to make his poop firm, so I then was told to switch to Isomil, which he is on now, and is not fussy or gassy anymore, but very constipated! I told my ped. I wanted to try Enfamil? He gave me samples, but I hope it doesn't bring the gas back! Has anyone tried going back to milk based form soy and seen good results?

How far apart is your baby's last nap from bedtime?
How many naps are they taking and for how long? How often are they waking at night?

I lost my baby last month. I know it was early in the pregnancy but to me it was a baby. I had names picked out, and I was talking to it too.

I started to feel a bit better a couple of weeks ago, but now I'm feeling worse again, and I'm crying all the time. I keep thinking I should be pregnant but I'm not.

Yesterday was Christmas day and my niece said what a great mother I would make, completely out of the blue. She doesn't know I was pregnant and she doesn't know I lost it.

I try to focus on the things that are going well in my life, but I find it so hard. When I stop being busy and I'm alone I cry and I cry, and I can't seem to stop. Is this normal? And what can I do to make it better?

Hi, last Friday I was 25 weeks pregnant and went in to get my first u/s to find out the sex...Well baby didn't want to show his/her stuff....I was disappointed but the doc said he would schedule me for another u/s at a technicians office. Anyways my question is did this happen to anyone else on here? If so, did your baby cooperate the next time? Also, my doc said my baby was really low could this cause any problems as far as position? Sorry for such a boring question, but easy 2 points I guess.

My husband was in Iraq for a year so I lived with my parents and my little girl every other week. Well now my husband has been home for 4 months and my ex husband has been saying my daughter has been acting up since my husband has been home. My current husband and I have noticed a difference but nothing too terrible. I mean she is 5 yeasr old and pushing buttons. Well my ex wants her to start going to counceling because he thinks there is something wrong with her. Like I said she is generally a pretty good girl when we have her, she is happy and playful loves to take baths and look pretty like any little girl. We do have a problem getting her to eat and fall asleep but that is about it. She tells me everytime I pick her up that she wants to stay with me forever.
Her dad is blaming me and my new husband for her problems and says he is going to get down tothe bottom of it. I guess what I am looking for is some kind of advice on how to deal with this.

My AF is very regular and was due on the 20th. It has yet to come. I had sex around ovulation, as i am TRYING to conceive. I have been having mild cramping since about 3 days after ovulation, up until now, but have not had a period.

My boobs are soooooo sore, and i have a killer headache!! Today i went to the bathroom, and when i wiped it was a tiny dot of light light light pink blood...so im confused.

I tested the day my period was due and negative. I did it again christmas eve, and thought i MAY have saw a faint line.

I have been pregnant before, but i dont remember how many weeks i was when i tested positive, because it was after a miscarriage.

So my question is, what do you think could be causing the blood, and could i still have low levels this many days after my "expected" period??

Thanks in advance!!

I have been researching Dr. Sear's website and his alternative recommended vaccine schedule for infants/children. We see my baby boy's doc tomorrow for his two month appointment and I am going to let her know that we prefer to follow his schedule. He feels that it is most important not to overload a tiny baby's body with multiple immunizations because when a baby get four to six shots at once it can be too much for their little system to handle and can result in more adverse side effects or reactions. I couldn't believe that a doc would actually give four to six separate injections to a two month old! That freaked me out. Dr. Sear's recommends that babies get two vaccines a month from two months to eight months, and he suggests that vaccines for diseases and illnesses that are actually infecting children today be given first, versus other vaccines for diseases and illnesses.

Do you follow Dr. Sear's schedule for your infant/child and how has it worked out for you?
