Open Question: What should I do about this girl?
(Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:04:30 GMT)
Im 15 weeks pregnant and a few weeks ago I went to with my bf to his friends house cause there was this party. We, and other people were in the friends room watching a movie. Everything was going fine until the friend's girlfriend walked in. She greeted her boyfriend's sister and said reaching for me and walking at the same time and said im sorry but can I touch? I gave this weird look and backed away a bit and just as she finished her question she was standing in front of me. I asked her how did she know. she was like cause I know. I asked her nicely over and over who told her and she kept on saying rumors someone told me and she wouldn't tell me who told her. I asked her more than once who told her that I was pregnant and she didn't want to tell me anything. Then her boyfriend said I told her. I got up and left the room and went downstairs. I was mad because I want to tell people im pregnant when I am ready to tell them and it gets me upset that I didn't get to tell them. Also me and others say this girl is a whore. I never liked this girl since i knew who she was and I don't want anything to deal with her but if she is in the room I will be nice to her cause she is my boyfriend's friend's girlfriend. so what should I do?

Resolved Question: How prevelant is it for men and women to cheat in basic training?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:32:52 GMT)
How prevelant is it for men and women to cheat in basic training when away for 14 weeks? I understand they are emotionally, physically and mentally tested and strained, but to be away from their families (spouses and children) would be difficult. I am just curious how often people have an affair there just because of these reasons. My husband is there now and is becoming drawn on the phone. Normally we get about 15 minutes once or twice a day where he can talk to us and usually the kids (3 and 1) take up one or half of the calls. I noticed he doesn't want to talk as long, doesn't say I love you as he did and I miss you as he did. I'm looking for opinions and experiences with this. It's just a feeling I have. I don't ask him or approach it because I try to keep things light because I know he's stressed being there with everything, but I can't help but think that when he mentions they hand out condoms and that he wouldn't touch anything there because he doesn't know what he's going to get. It kind of scares me because if he did, our relationship is over, period. I'm also 30 weeks pregnant and am due to have the baby by myself. He just never seems to want to be on the phone with us or hurries to go. He's a great father and good husband and has never given me worry before and we've been together for 10 years. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't have any fears, but when you're there 24/7 with little to no companionship and you get lonely that way..... See where my mind wanders? Thanks for any and all opinions.

Open Question: 15+ weeks pregnant and not having any symptoms?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:20:04 GMT)
I'm 15+ weeks now and had a positive scan at 12 weeks with baby on the screen. It's my second pregnancy, so we don't see the midwife as much this time and I'm that black hole time - the time between the scan, feeling movement and hearing the heartbeat. Has anyone else experienced this? I have no symptoms and I swear I'm getting thinner. I could just be worrying a bit, but I'm just wondering if anyone else knows what this is like and could offer some reassurance. I might try to see midwife to listen to heartbeat, but I also don't want to be an overworrier!

Open Question: My puppy is 7 weeks old and i dont think her and the other 9 pups in the litter have been properly cared for?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:17:55 GMT)
as i said, she is 7 weeks old, she is a labrador and really fluffy but i can feel the ridges in her backbone as i stroke her, its like her back end by her legs is a bit bony, well quite a lot really, and today i found out that she shouldn't have been sold before 8 weeks, one fo the pups was sold a Maximum of 2 weeks before her and we got her yesterday.
we also found out that they were fed the completely wrong food (dry food) when they should be fed warm milk mixed with 12 grains of puppy dry food.
shes very happy and playful but im worried about the other pups. the woman who sold her to me will know where i live because my neighbor is her best friend and she told me about the pups when she heard my poor dog died on sunday.
im not even sure if my puppy is a girl ! how can i tell if shes a boy?
do you think i should report this woman even though i know she will know where i live? the puppies were actually happy and they were jumping around their play pen/cage but im worried about their health and i just really ddon'tknow what to do !
im 15 if that helps, and the puppy cost £100. i feel as though i encouraged this woman to breed more, but i think she said that the mother of the pups accidentally got pregnant ?
but i do know that the woman has bred springer spaniels. they came to the door when i entered the house and they were pretty ft and happy. the mother of the pups was really skinny though!
argh. please help!

Open Question: Why do I feel like this...Is this normal?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:00:04 GMT)
I'm 15 weeks pregnant, everything has been normal, regular morning sickness, nausea, etc, I've been feeling better since 12th week, there's only one thing I can't understand, I don't know if it is normal or not and lately it happens to me more often, I feel dizzy, weak (not all the time, it lasts just a few minutes, is not like the morning sickness) I have a headache for 2 days now and just when I eat something sweet (candies), I stop feeling like that, sorry I just wanted to know if that's something that I should be concern about and go to the doctor, or if it is something common and it happens to everybody....Any comments will be appreciate.

Open Question: Has anyone had labor induced?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:11:38 GMT)
I did post yesterday, but I did it in the middle of the night and didn't really get any answers.
I am 36.5 weeks pregnant and am being induced on Monday for health reasons.
I have developed mild pre-eclampsia. My blood pressure has been in the 140/90 range and when I am up moving it gets worse. (Not to mention at 34.5 weeks the ultrasound already put the baby at almost 8 pounds.)
I have been admitted to the hospital twice for 2 night stints on full bed rest since.
We are doing an amnio on Monday before the induction just in case, but the doctor is confident that his lungs are developed.
We will be starting with cervadil because my cervix is not soft, effaced or dilated yet.
My question is, has this drug been helpful to any of you? Were you already effaced and dilated at the time? How long did it take? Are there other methods I can try at home to get my cervix to soften before my appointment so that maybe the process is jumpstarted a little?
I am also on pelvic rest, so that means sex is not an option, nor is walking around.
I do have semi-regular BH. They are more frequent at night and about 15- 30 minutes apart, but they aren’t helping to dilate me at all!
The doctor also told me that once I soften they will use Pitocin if my contractions are not regular on their own. I know that this makes for a more painful labor, but waiting for it to happen naturally could kill both me and my baby.
Any advice?
Sorry, I know this is long, but I am trying to be as prepared as possible and am hoping to make it as efficient as possible.

Open Question: I need advice with my 16 year old sister...FYI this involves a lot of drama?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:46:48 GMT)
This is going to be a long story but I need some help because no one in my family knows what to do about my 16 year old sister. First of all I should say that our parents are divorced and hate each other and my sister lives with our mom and stepdad, she hates them both with a passion. My mom is not a loving person, she is very distant and cold and also incredibly strict and suspicious which is why I used to fight with her when I lived there. She kicked me out at age 15 because she couldn't deal with the fighting. My brother also left for the same reasons, we both went to live with our dad. Now about our dad, he is an overgrown child which is why I got along with him so well as a child. He is not a parent because he doesn't care what you do or where you do it as long as you don't get in his way. He also loves to allow his kids to do anything my mom disagrees with simply because he hates her. That being said he is also incredibly unstable, he jumps from job to job every few months and is always at risk of being evicted. When I lived with him we rarely had food and we never had basic necessities such as toilet paper or shampoo. So I can now go on with some details about my sister.
She has this boyfriend, at first it all seemed innocent. They've been together for over a year and in this time my sister has become OBSESSED with him. She sends 10,000 texts a month just to him. He is equally obsessed with her and constantly calls when he can't get a hold of her. My sister has blown off all of her friends and now is failing almost every class where before she was an excellent student. She fights with my mom all the time about this and now my mom has told her she is not allowed to see him. Reason being, this boy is suicidal, violent, and my mom snooped through her phone and read a full conversation about how they are planning to get pregnant...they even picked out names! So rightfully so my mom is scared and trying her best to protect my sister. However, knowing exactly what my sister is thinking, nothing will stop them from being together. My mom won't allow her to live with me which I have offered. So last night my sister told me she's moving in with my dad. I am scared to death of this because I know what it means, in about 6 weeks she'll be living with her boyfriend because my dad doesn't care.
I don't know what to do, I'm her big sister and I don't want to see her mess up her life. But I know she won't stay with my mom as she completely hates her. I can't talk to my dad about it because #1 he won't care, and #2 I'm not on speaking terms with him (that's a whole other story though). So what can I do? Anyone been through a similar situation? Thanks
But who should I report? My mom is trying the best she knows to protect her, I understand that now but at 16 that is tough to see. I know she wouldn't be better off at my dads. Should I wait until she moves in with him?

Open Question: I don't know what to do anymore. My 15 mth old is NOT listening what so ever, any advice?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:46:00 GMT)
Hi Moms/Dads!! :)
I don't know what to do anymore with Andrew. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my patience is running slim lately and he does not listen what so ever!!!!!! He doesn't talk yet so when he wants something he will scream on the top of his lungs. We get to his eye level and talk to him in a stern voice and he will smack me in the face sometimes or close his eyes and will cry so doesn't hear me. I don't know what to do. We started the time out, but I think hes too young to understand, maybe not? He is getting his 1 yer molars and not sure if this have anything to do with his behavior. He does have his sweet moments and will listen but has those naughty moments a lot lately. Any advice please, and reassure me that he isn't the only child out there like this and this is normal :)

Open Question: Friend? 13? abortion?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:06:38 GMT)
My "friend" is one year younger than me and just turned 13, she acts and looks nothing like a 13 year old , shes quite pretty and comes from quite a femmenist wealthy family. She used to be really nice but we live in an area where its on sides of two extres, extremly rough in some party an extremly posh in others, i live on the most expensive street in the whole of my county, so i dont live in those areas, she lives in a nice place also, we get the same bus to school, so thats how im her friend really.
Recently she turned very different, we also sit by 3 boys who pick on her a bit, but its noy like she doesnt deserve it or anything, she takes it and just swears at them, its not like shes a little kid being bullied, so dont get that wrong. even they notie it she speaks in this rough, chavvy way and is always on about how she went out last night with "Daz" and "shortie" and "jade" and loads more people who go to the local school in our area, ( the school we go to is an hour away, its good) that school is really, really rough. She then started smoking, ( and i know all of this is true , becase she rings these people infront of me and we see them going through the area on the bus. She came to me a few weeks ago saying "Ive wanked someone off" we were all pretty shocked and the older 16 year old, year 11s took the piss out of her and stuff calling her a filthy sket and slut.
A week later she told me shed had sex, shed lost her virginity just before she was 13, it was true,( dont ask in these answeres, its a long story, i know there true) Shes now had sex about 7 times with differnt people, rough, and in rough places like mac donalds toilets. Its terrible, it really is, shes ruining her life, and now, its all it, shes pregnant, the farther doesnt want anything to do with her, hes 15 and already fartherd two kids, he just says, if its a girl get rid of it if its a boy keep it. Shes in a state, she just says i need an abortion and wants me to help her. I want to, but im strongly against abortion, id rather her have a baby at 13 than kill it.
To be honest, i dont have much of a question, I'd like to just see your opinions on this whole thing, or anything you think she should do or whatever?

Open Question: coping with a possible miscarriage?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:53:47 GMT)
i'm 8 weeks pregnant but the baby isn't progressing. on Tuesday my hcg levels were 15,747 so my doctor tested today to see if my hcg levels have gone done or up. she also seems to believe that i'm having what they call a missed miscarriage. i have another appointment on monday, she said i can either wait at home for the miscarriage to occur or have a D&C. i'm extremely sad and praying for a miracle as it took my husband and i two years to get this far. how does someone cope with this? i feel like this has brought my husband and i apart since i'm so sad and he is so positive. has anyone have a D&C? and if so how was that experience?
thanks for the help.

Open Question: Could I be pregnant or anticipating my menstrual? I have been spotting for 4 days now,. No heavy bleeding...?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:39:33 GMT)
what so ever. I've never done this before. My last cycle was on 2/15/2010 and I had unprotected sex on 2/22/2010. Now according to my own calculations my cycle is not due to around the 17th or so this month. But I've taken 3 urine pregnancy test and 1 blood test. They all where negative. But my breast are tender, sometimes they are real tender, and about a week ago I felt this weird feeling in my uterus. So did I take the test to early or what? Please help me out, I'm so confused right now.

Open Question: pregnant with relationship problems?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:33:32 GMT)
i am 8 months pregnant ( maybe a little hormonal, okay maybe alot) i don't need stress in my life especially because it's high risk. but here is my problem and maybe im being selfish but , for the last atleast 2 months my fiance ( we have been living together for the last 2 years) has been doing nothing but making plans to go away for weekends after the baby is born, im not talking about just once in a while it's like he has booked up almost every weekend this summer to go away without me and the baby. anything he has made plans to do has excluded us ( camping, concerts). well last night i blew up at him. he did it again. my c-section is booked for april 15th ( which is major abdominal surgery) i get out of the hospital on the 17th with baby ( first day home) well last night he decided he is going to a concert the evening of the 17th and then going to the bar with his buddy afterwards. i got extremely upset about it. i told him what i thought, i t feels like even though baby isn't born yet i will be raising baby on my own. of all nights to make plans he does it my first night home with the baby... i told him that i would rather be single and that way he can do what he wants
when he wants. he didn't say to much the only thing he ask is when he would be able to see his daughter and i told him whenever he wanted, i ended up sleeping on the couch and we havent
spoken since. it's not like we are 2 teenagers , i am 30 and he is turning 35. we have 2 other children( from previous relationships) i just don't know what to do, should i stay with him and be upset and just deal with it or should we just go our separate ways? oh and his birthday is coming up in 2 weeks.. i know it's not his problem it's mine but im stuck at home on bed rest but he has made plans to go out with his buddy to see a comedian and go to the bar. this is the first time he has done this in the last 5 years. so yet again not including me . maybe it's just me but it makes me really sad that all of a sudden it seems like he just doesn't want me around. i also told him what bothers me the most is that he keeps making all these plans and excluding me and not once has he suggested that after baby is born we do something together as a family or even suggest we do anything as a couple. he didn't say anything.
any advice would help, am i just being stupid or would anyone else feel the same way i do??

Resolved Question: morning sickness is making me depressed & I'm completely over it.?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:10:25 GMT)
I am 9 weeks pregnant with my second baby & I was trying to get pregnant for 13 months. I was so excited that I was pregnant because I was trying for so long. I have a two and a half year old daughter that at the moment I feel like I am not paying enough attention too.
I had severe morning sickness with her until 25 weeks, but for some reason I didn't mind, I think because I was trying for so long(2 years) I was just happy to be pregnant. I honestly didn't think I could feel this way about being pregnant... I just wish I wasn't & I know that if something happened I would be very sad. I just don't know how to handle the sickness anymore... It lasts all day, I am vomiting up to 15 times a day. Nothing I am eating is staying down. As I sit her writing this I have been sick twice (I have vomit bags because having to run to the toilet every half hour or so gets tiring. All I want to do is sit around and not do anything. I don't have any energy. I haven't been cleaning the house, my partner has & I feel so guilty about it.
I have been to the doctor because it has stopped me from my studies ( I withdrew because I couldn't be there I was constantly in the toilet) I feel like I am not being there enough for the daughter I already have and that makes me the most sad. I love my little girl to bits but I can't do anything. I try going out & I end up just going home because I get sick in the car.
I just can't handle it & I am only 9 weeks, I have only been sick for four weeks. I know other women go through it, how do you handle it?
I have tried everything I can including ginger etc. I even went to the doctor and got medication but that didn't stop me from being sick & that made me extra drowsy :(
What did you do to get through it? All I want to do is enjoy this pregnancy & I'm just not. It makes me feel so down.
Thank you
Thank you, I have heard of Zofran through reading other posts. I am glad to hear it doesn't make you drowsy because the other medication was awful and made me feel a little nutty to be honest :) I will speak to my doctor as soon as I can

Open Question: When am I suppose to have my menstruation back after an abortion?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 10:48:03 GMT)
I had my abortion last feb.15 using pills. 2 weeks later, I had sex with my husband ( Unfortunately, unprotected sex that is. He only used withdrawal). Since I haven't submit myself to any follow-up check up, I'm wondering when will I have my menstruation back? It's already march11 and I want to know if I'm having missed periods. I'm not ready to be pregnant that's why I underwent an abortion. In addition, I'm having some kinda right low abdominal pain since yesterday. I'm scared of the thought of having an ectopic pregnancy.
Please help me. Answers are very much appreciated.
PS. I dont need criticisms from anyone of you. I'm here to ask about my concern, and I'm hoping to get good answers for it. Thanks a lot.

I am also on pelvic rest, so that means sex is not an option, nor is walking around.
I do have semi-regular BH. They are more frequent at night and about 15- 30 minutes apart, but they aren’t helping to dilate me at all!
The doctor also told me that once I soften they will use Pitocin if my contractions are not regular on their own. I know that this makes for a more painful labor, but waiting for it to happen naturally could kill both me and my baby.
Any advice?
Sorry, I know this is long, but I am trying to be as prepared as possible and am hoping to make it as efficient as possible.

Open Question: gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy,how to i lose it fast?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:24:12 GMT)
heyy im about to have my baby. im 5'4, before i got pregnant i weighed around 120..i didnt need to work out much and still looked pretty good. I am now almost 160,meaning i gained 40 pounds! My bf is coming in a little less than 3 months and i need to lose the weight fast. i know the first 15 will come off without even trying but that gives me a good 20 pounds to lose. Yes i do plan on breastfeeding but only for a few weeks,i heard it burns calories but you need to eat enough to feed your baby. I live with my parents and dont go back to school ttill a couple months after i deliver so when im not taking care of baby i have people to watch her if i want to go to the gym or somethin. i just want to lose weight fast and when im done breastfeeding i dont care if its in a healthy way or not. any advice? im walking a mile a day right now so i don't gain too much more within the next week or two.

Resolved Question: What is an experienced prenatal massage therapists?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:20:42 GMT)
I am 15 weeks pregnant and having back pain. I have been reading and asked my doctor about massages while I'm pregnant. My doctor says I should wait till my 2nd trimester due to the fact that it can cause miscarriage. I even found that information on some massage therapy sites. They all say you need to have a massage therapist that is specially trained in prenatal massages. I know my friend will tell me he is qualified but, he only worked as a therapist for about 2 years and has been unemployed for the past year. He keeps telling me he will give me a massage when I get to my second trimester but, i don't risk someone who isn't qualified to do that. I mean this is my baby and there is risks i don't want to take. So anyone who has had a prenatal massage or is a experienced massage therapist that could help me understand what exactly I should be looking for in a prenatal massage I would greatly appreciate. Thanks!
It can cause a miscarriage if you get it in the the first trimester! It's ok after that as long as you get a an experienced prenatal massage therapist!
MAYBE YOU NEED TO LEARN TO READ IDIOT!!!!!!
Thanks Jo! I appreciate the help:)

Open Question: Who is most likely the father?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:11:37 GMT)
I had sex with guy A on Jan 15th through 17th, while on my period. My period started the 14th, but my period was very light, and I was spotting. Before that weekend we had sex on Jan. 5th and we always pull out. Guy B is my ex who took advantage of me while drunk at a friends party on Jan. 30. And I took a test feb. 13th and got a positive. My mom said it couldn't be guy B's baby because a woman takes 4 weeks to produce hcg and I could have already been pregnant by guy A. Any help figuring out which guy is the dad?

Open Question: Can depression cause high blood pressure?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 03:21:41 GMT)
I've had depression for several years (been treated with medications), but I've noticed that whenever I'm feeling more depressed, my blood pressure goes up. Right now I'm 15 weeks pregnant and have been feeling pretty depressed recently. The last couple times I've been to my obstetrician, my blood pressure has been way up. The doctor is concerned about my BP since I'm pregnant. I was just wondering if depression can lead to high blood pressure. Thanks.

(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:53:14 GMT)
im 37 and a half weeks pregnant. i walked to my boyfriends house about 7 blocks away about 2 and a half hours ago. while i was there we tried to have sex but this only lasted about 10 minutes because it was causing me a lot of pain. i after preceded to get emotional and cried a little bit (don't know if this would bring on contractions paired with the sex and walking). I left his house to walk home and after walking about 15 steps i couldn't walk anymore with bad pain in my lower left back and in my very upper left thigh. i'm getting small pains in my stomach about every 6 minutes along with severe back pain at the same time. is this an early stage of labor or just braxton hicks?

Open Question: What's your opinion of this?
(Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:11:19 GMT)
Well, I'm 15-years-old, I'll be 16 in December. I'm very mature for my age. I also don't party or anything like that...I don't drink of do drugs either. Now, call me crazy, but that's OK because I want you opinion...I'm thinking of getting pregnant on purpose.
I wouldn't have that much of a financial problem....And I wouldn't have that much trouble finishing school with a little help, or I could just finish school through Cyber School.
But, please explain to me your opinion on things. Oh, and unlike normal teens, I don't really go anywhere on weekends. There's only two friends I hang out with on the weekend, and we always stay at my one friends house and just chill...Sometimes we'll go down to a restaurant one of our older friends own...But that's about it.
Explain to me what a typical day/week/weekend would be for me...Please&Thanks.

Open Question: Has anyone had back rib pains after having a baby?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 22:44:58 GMT)
While I was pregnant I thought that the baby was going into my ribs and it hurt my back and my ribs which made it really hard for me to breath. But now I am still having the pains after my baby is born 3 weeks ago. It feels like I can't breath and under my ribs and ribs and back are getting pushed on so i can't breath well at all. It comes and goes not regular as yesterday was the first time i had it happen to me since I had my little one but it happened three times. twice while i was sleeping and once after i ate. During my pregnancy the doctors thought it was the baby in my ribs to and or dehydration so i constantly drank water while it was happening but after drinking two bottles of water i had no more room and made myself throw up for more room but throwing up seemed to help. Unless the advil that i took kicked in. It usually happens for about 15 min at a time sometimes shorter.I was told by friends it could be my ribs and back going back to place as i am a smaller person or it could be gall stones. Has this happened to anyone before.

Open Question: my boobs hurt, pregnant or body confused?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:47:34 GMT)
im on the pill, about 2 weeks ago i had unprotected sex. im good with taking pills on time etc, ive been on it for about a year. my period was a week before sex, i heard the nearer you have sex to your last period makes contraception higher? anyway, i delayed my period by a week and had sex two weeks later, so my period should be around the 15th originally, however as i delayed it only by a week, my period is now due a week later than normal. is this why my boobs hurt? 'cos my body's used to having a period round about now? many thanks :)

Open Question: Do you think I'm pregnant?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:26:22 GMT)
I aksed this question a few time previously, but I want some more feedback.
I'm 15, and I've had sex four times over the past month with my boyfriend.
One time was unprotected, because we didn't have any condoms.
Since the first time, I havn't gotten my period. I was supposed to get it about 2 weeks ago.
I've been feeling sort of sick to my stomach lately too,
There is no way of me getting to the drug store to get a test, because I live really far from it and I can't drive, and I don't want my parents to find out I think I might be.
Should I wait and see if any symptoms appear?
Is there another way I could find out?
All help is great :)

Open Question: Did my water break or did I pee myself?
(Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:11:15 GMT)
I am 32 weeks pregnant. I have been having braxton hicks a lot the last couple of weeks and at my 31 week check up the doctor told me that her head was in the birth canal. About 15 minutes ago, I walked up the stairs and all of a sudden my pants were wet. It didnt feel like I was peeing, there was no color or smell to it really and it just happened out of nowhere. I am waiting for my doctors office to open as they only work half days on Wednesdays and Fridays, so they are not open for another hour. In the meantime, what do you guys think, did I just pee myself or should I be concerned? I dont think I am leaking now but I am laying down and going to get up after a half an hour, my doctor once told me upon doing so I would probably feel another gush if it is my fluids. I am just getting nervous. Since that happened I have been getting severe hot flashes and tightening, like braxton hicks.
Thanks for any advice, hope I was clear enough I am just nervous!! Would it definately keep flowing if it was my waters? OR would it just soak my pants once and be over? WIth my daughter the doctor broke my water once I was already in labor...
Thanks everyone for your advice... I did have to pee just a few minutes (5) after it happened so I think it was my water. I am going to go get checked!
