Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - October 2006

(I'm not pregnant and I'm not TTC, just looking for answers from women who know what they're talking about)

Every cycle, I get the a very small amount of odorless, creamy, white CM (I call it CM because it doesn't actually 'leak' out like discharge does) that starts a day or two after ovulation and doesn't end untill the first day of my period - Sorry for being a little graphic!
Does anyone else experience this regularly? Is it considered common in women?
Thanks!

Okay Me and my husband have been together for 5 years and married for 2 now. We are still very much in love and are expecting our first baby any day now. He just recently started a new job, closer to home (he is an engineer) and said the work is easier but a lot more of it. We just got news that the baby could be here anyday now instead of 3 weeks (because Im supposed to be 37 weeks). Since we got that news he seems to not want to be intimate with me. I mean he will tell me he loves me and gives hugs and kisses but no sex. I asked him about it and he said he has just not been in the mood, he is stressed at work and so on. But I also know he is a little scared about me going into labor. I know its not cheating because we are to close and I know he wouldnt do anything like that, I trust him more than anything. Do you think its just stress or is he not wanting to have sex because he's afraid he will make me go into labor? Has anyone else gone through this?

I have a newborn baby, do office work from home (24/7 job) while husband does outside work (limousine company). I can't seem to organize my time properly. I have no time to keep up with the phone calls and office work, clean the house, make dinner, take care of the baby, get enough sleep or take good care of myself (healthwise or appearance). I don't even think about going out anywhere, or i'll just mess up my scheduling even worse than it already is! I try to do the paperwork at night but this just causes me to not be able to wake up in the mornings to take care of the baby. please help me organize my time better!

Hello, I am 37w5days pregnant. I was told by the doc. two days ago that it could be anyday now because my body is progressing so fast. I went into preterm labor 3 times but I didnt dilate with them..they gave me medicine to stop it so I wouldnt as well. Two days ago after they decided not to stop it anymore I am dilated to 1cm 90%effaced, soft and up-close. I have had a lot of the braxton hicks contractions all day long. Yesterday my mother in-law asked me to go walking with her (because she wants me to go into labor now!) and I said yes so that she didnt throw one of her emotional fits on me. (does anyone really get along with their mother in-law??lol) anyway, we def. overdone it and I started having harder contractions so I finally told her I needed to stop. Last night I had this really sharp pain starting from my belly button and like it rolled down to my pelvic area, bad enough for tears. Was that a real contraction? it only lasted about 10 sec though. Well last night I couldnt.

My boyfriend and I got pregnant. Not planned. I was using birth control and all that. But, it still happened. Everyone I know is unhappy and so was I at first. But, I learned to accept it and know I'm happy and so is he. But, everyone keeps putting me down. Like, I ruined my life. Im 18 and live with my boyfriend. We are finacially stable and can handle it, I know it will be hard, but it will fine. How should I feel? It feels like I cant even be happy about it because no one else is. I need advice on how to feel about it all. I want this baby and I'm not aborting or giving it up. So please don't suggest that. Thanks.

For example, Why do so many people expect somebody else to provide them with an education, housing, food, medical care,etc?

Another example: Why do people insist on bringing babies into this world when they are not prepared for parenthood & have little to offer a child, & little to contribute to society? Do they think it's the taxpayer's responsibility to provide for their family? Do they think it's their mom & dad's responsibility?

Why are some people not willing to work for what they want? Why are they not willing to wait? How do YOU feel about paying for their selfishness, laziness, ignorance, or just plain bad choices?

How did things get this bad, & is there a way out of it? Can & should the government continue to subsidize everything?

Lastly, is it fair to those who do try to do the right thing & who do pay their own way for the things they want and need in life? What are your thoughts on personal responsibility?

My 9 1/2 month old daughter has only been breastfed from the time she was born. My husband and I just found out that we are pregnant again. My doctor said that I must stop breastfeeding her asap because it can make me go into labor. We have been trying to get her to drink formula and she will not drink it what so ever. We tried putting it in a sippy cup instead of a bottle and even tried mixing it with juice. If anyone has any suggestions I would GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks so much!

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day across the world. We would like to invite you to take part in the global 'Wave of Light'. Simply light a candle at 7pm and leave it burning for at least 1 hour to join us in remembering all babies that have died during pregnancy, at, during or after birth.
This can be done individually or in a group, at home or in a communal space. Wherever you do this, you will be joining a global wave of light in memory of all the babies who lit up our lives for such a short time.



Setting aside such a day as October 15—Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day—becomes a most important step in a parent’s healing. This is a public acknowledgement of the grief that parents are holding deep within their hearts. This day allows parents to say, “My loss was real. It hurts. I want to tell you about it. And, I want to be able to grieve the fact that part of my life was taken away.”

Okay well me and my husband have been together for 2 years in jan. and we have a baby on the way but he is getting to be kinda mean. Everytime we get into an argument he threatens to leave me. I already have a 3 year old little boy with my ex so if things did not work out between me and my husband I would be a single mother of two kids by 2 different daddys. Okay besides that I cant afford to keep myself and 2 kids up by myself. I love this man so much and he has never hurt me before. But this is really getting to me. What do I do?? I cant let him leave nor leave him and I cant stay with this stuff going on either!! help please

Why do a lot of people out there look down upon Teen Mother's? I had a baby at 17, and she is now 5. Before I was pregnant, I was a drug addict, a drunk, a high school drop out, and a lot of other things I'm not proud of. When I was getting off drugs, I became pregnant. ( thank god I wasn't using then) At that moment I realized my life HAD to change, and now I had a reason. So, I went back to school, I stopped partying. I got a diploma. Then came a full time job. I had my baby, got my own place, and it's been me and her. My parents DIDN'T raise her. If they baby sat, I even paid them. My baby CHANGED my life. Without her, do u know where I would be? Jail maybe? Dead somewhere?
Today people tell me they're proud of how much I changed. How I put that little girl before me, and raised her the best way I knew. Can someone tell me what is wrong with this? There are women in their 30's who can't accomplish what I have. But yet, you tend to judge me and all teen mothers. Why?
