I have had two miscarriages....both at about 4 weeks. I have heard many stories of early miscarriages from 6-8 weeks....why are mine so early...the dr. said that my prog. levels were 19.4 (apparently that is ok)....any thoughts for a future pregnancy?

With my first kid I hemmorhaged and then bled every day for 10 months. side effect of the Depo shot. it still wasn't straightened out two years later when I got pregnant with my son. With my first boy i was done bleeding in a week and got my regular period three weeks later. After that it was extremely regular. Had baby number three almost 4 months ago. I know that I am not pregnant again, but I only had four days of spotting last month and tht's it. i should be starting any day now for this month. Is this anywhere near normal?

I am 45 and recently married again. I am enjoying a wonderful life. But whenever im in the company of my friends i feel a little bit the odd one out because all my friends have children. I long to have a child of my own but has never been successful at conceiving one since my first miscarriage years ago. I need your opinion.

and you DID work
you DIDN'T recieve welfare(except Medicaid)
you DIDN'T drink or do drugs
you DID take full responsibility
you DIDN'T ever abuse or neglect your baby

why should you still have to live with people's assumptions that you live off the system and are a bad parent?
Why does this happen? Opinions?

So I have a loving a wonderful husband but it just happens that I have a job making more money than him. It took him a while to find a good job and now that he has one he has one more class to finish his BA and then his salary will go up. We also just started a dance school and it needs a lot of attention because we want that to be our main source of income in the future. Well I found out that I am pregnant and I teach dance during the day. It is becoming very difficult for me to do and I really don't have the time or energy to work on the business but we already have clients. I really want to go out on disability but I feel extremely guilty because I make the most money and I feel if I don't work we are really going to struggle I am only three months and I can't imagine later in the pregnancy. I also teach special needs children so they are very changeling. If I stay home I can work on the business and take better care of myself plus working on the business will be securing things for the future but am I being selfish to put the responsibility of the bills on him. Should I just stick it out but it is very hard

My son and wife have had a new baby. ( She was married before and has two brown eyed children and she too, has dark brown eyes.) My son has brown eyes and I have green eyes, my parents had (mother) blue, (dad) greyish blue and my sister has green as I do . The baby's mother has broiwn, her parents also have brown and we question where the baby's beautiful blue eyes came from ? Many people have made the sad comment, that she must not belong to my son as both he and his wife have brown eyes. Sad part, my son's wife, (baby's mother) became pregnant soon after they met, which he has no doubt as his, but I am tired of others making the comments to question if she is or not. I have read it is possible for two brown eyed parents to have a blue eyed baby, is this true? To me, the baby has her "great grandmother's" eyes , exactly? Help me to relieve my mind and the questions that my son has asked since others have brought up that the baby must not be his. What are the chances of brown eyes having blue eyes in babies? Is this my mother's eyes from inheritance coming out in my grandbaby? She looks like my son as a baby to me, but not his brown eyes. Thanks !

I know its possibly my own fault but I bought bio oil etc and did intend to use it... But forgot!!!! I thought i'd gotten away with it until waking up at 33 wks and found a few on my stomach. Im now 11 days from my due date and their not too bad but are def noticable. I basically wondered when your stomach goes back to normal(ish), how long until they usually fade to silver?? And any tips on how to disguise them??

and starting my diploma of make up in jan. one part of me wants to have an abortion because everything will be set back again for atleast another year and i feel like im just getting back to normal after having pre eclampsia in my first pregnancy. on the other hand i love being a mum, its the best feeling in the world and the thought of having an abortion already makes me feel so guilty. i dont know what to do. im so confused. one day i want it and the next i dont. im really scared im going to make the wrong decision.
and please, i dont want people giving me there negative comments. i am very aware that i didnt use contraception and i should have and i also know that it has led to another pregnancy.

So, the girl I'm with now has a son ( she had twins, but one died of s.i.d.s) She tells me that the DR. told her she'll always have at least 2 or more children at a time. Could this be true? Could the DR. be 100% correct. She doesn't want more than 1 child at a time because she fears s.i.d.s. again. Other than the s.i.d.s, I would have no problem with it. What do you think?

Hi, I am very early stages in pregnacy, 5 and a half weeks. This is my first so I dont know what I am doing. I am going to be out over Christmas quite a lot and I dont know what to avoid and what to eat. I went out yesterday and ordered Salmon thinking it was a safe bet and when it came it had a sauce on it that I am sure was hollendaise based therefore with raw eggs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does your water have to break first when labor comes?
My water has not broken yet or I don't know if it will but I'm feeling this pain and discomfort on my womb and I can feel contractions.
Do I have to go to the hospital right away or do I still have to wait before the water breaks?

I am onto baby number three, exactly 2mths now, and am already getting the 'are you going to find out' questions.

I didn't find our with my first because I just had no desire to and wanted that surprise and I had a very strong hunch that it was a girl anyway. (It was a girl!)

I did find out with my second because hubby wanted to and it seemed like fun and practical to do it. I also really wanted a boy so was dying to find out. (It was a boy!)

Now this time, hubby has already said he wants to know, which has led our 5.5 year old daughter to say she wants to know but since I already have a boy and a girl and therefore all the start up stuff I need, why should I find out? Its my last time for a surprise since we aren't having anymore.

I'm quite torn and realise I have a while to think about it but want to know why you did/didn't find out.

thanks
