First could I please have real advice not just people being nasty! I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years I was not on the pill as i took myself of it! but about 7 weeks ago me and him split up, I got very very drunk and slept with another man! By then I had put myself back on the pill and had come on, Due to starting the pill again and I also took the morning after pill just incase I was not protected properly ... me and my boyfriend then got back together on the 10th February and we had a long chat and we managed to sort things out, I did feel really awful for sleeping with someone but it was a mistake and they are there to be made! So I dont want u thinking im a slag! I then took myself of the pill end of feb and Now I am pregnant! I took the clear blue diugital test which said I conceived about 1-2 weeks ago! i then went to the midwife who then told me I had conceived around 20 february and I was 5 weeks pregnant ( :-)) All I want to no is, is there any chance that I could of conceived before this and this baby isnt my boyfriends. I asked my midwife and she said there is not a slight chance, I no I can wait for my scan but im worried! Im sure if I had conceived the beginiing of feb I wouldnt of come on and plus I had a morning after pill? Please only reply to give advice! x Thanks I have thought about this 100 times over and there is no way my boyfriend is NOT the dad!!! as I took the morning after pill, I was also on the pill and I came on my period! I think i am worrying so much AS its happened so soon after my stupid mistake!!! x

I have had this constant twitch in my right eye for the last few days, I woke up this morning and it is in both eyes now... like the eyelids, and sometimes under neath the eye.. is this linked to me being pregnant at all? Because I have never had it in my life before.. I just want to rip my eyelids off :@ lol. I am 20 year old female and 13 weeks pregnant tomorrow! thanks in advance I have read up online.. and it is a common symptom along with my severe migraines ect .. a b12 deficiency :S

I am trying to conceive and I can't believe how hard it is. My last period was Feb 26 2010. Which means I would be most fertile from the 8th to the 14th right? My bf and I had sex from the 6th until the 13th. We had sex everyday sometimes twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). I used a pillow under my hips, but I didn't lay down for 20 mins. This week my breasts were tender and my vagina felt moist. So I'm assuming I'm ovulating this week idk. Problem is my bf and I are 6 hrs away from each other now. What are my chance I conceived this month.? I have been very relaxed lately, but I feel like this month isnt my lucky month, I'm dreading getting my pregnant next week.

Which is the day that my period is due to come I am now 12 weeks pregnant could I be pregnant from way back in november

I'm 26 almost 27 weeks pregnant and I keep getting these strange dizzy flashes that last maybe 2 seconds. It's irritating. I'm drinking more than enough water actually thats all I drink. And I ate 20 minutes ago and I have them. Maybe I'm just tired. I really dont know. Its just irritating. Does anyone know whats going on?

from my schedueled period? My bf and me had sex with PROTECTION on saturday and my dad was coming down so he pulled out quickly but the condom slipped he didnt cum he says but i took postinor (NEW) on sunday in order to be safe now my period isnt due for at least 20 days and i got my period today (friday) 5 days after taking the pill..am i pregnant? or is this normal and is an effect of the pill?

First off id like some opinions from people of what i should do. Since me and my ex seperated we have shared our daughter even though he wasnt much part of her life when we werent seperated. He takes her every second weekend and 2 nights a week but during the weeks lately ive had her all week and he always tries to change the schedule and make all the rules and he keeps her extra days WHEN he takes her. Shes starting to really act out. She is 3 years old and loves to be at home with her mama. I have a hard time getting her to go with him sometimes. We are both only 21 years old. Hes a good father but i really believe he is not a good influence on her. He parties alot and lives with 2 other guy roomates who both do the same. I dont want my daughter to be thrown around anymore and i know that should be my decision. I know my daughter and im trying my hardest to raise her decent. I live on my own just in a 2 bedroom apartment right now. No roomates just me and my daughter. I dont party ever. I never really drank much at all after my daughter was born. I dont do drugs. Im also 5 months pregnant but my boyfriend works six hours away seasonal so he does not live with us. The one thing that is really getting to me is my daughter's grandma on her dads side also. Since the day i can remember she has always tried to make alot of the decisions for her. She seemed manipulative into trying to make our daughter hers. Always trying to tell me how to raise her whats not okay and okay. Some of her theories are so wack too. When my daughter was 1 and a half i took her out of daycare and she freaked out and said that she would have no social skills when she is older if she isnt in daycare. Everytime she talks about my daughter she says she talked to some child spychologist about it or this person or that person said this. She said someone told her that my daughter would feel more loved if she was thrown around like this. I also remember her telling me one time that our daughter is the family child and that everyone should raise her. My views arent the same as her. Shes almost always a good lady but not a good influence and not one to be telling me the right way to raise my kids when ALL of her 4 kids are drunks and do drugs and they all live in poverty and all act stuck up and rich like they own the world and are all VERY materialistic. I do not want my daughter to be raised like that at all. We are soon moving 20 mins out of the city into a small town where my parents live i think it would be good for us in a nice 3 bedroom house with a backyard. Its a real home for us. I love my daughter so much i just want her to have a normal life. Everytime i try and talk to my ex about he freaks and literally calls me a dumb bitch and thinks because i am on welfare right now because i am pregnant and in school that i would never win. Should i go for full custody or joint custody? What would my chances be do u think for winning full custody from what i have said. Need some answers freaking out inside what kinds of things should i document

i have felt the "fluttering" for about 3 wks off and on but this last week i have had movement every night sometimes even during the day. today i have felt NOTHIING!! is this normal? shouldnt i feel him everyday? should i go to the dr? im soo paranoid!!!!

Hi Im 20 and was 5 weeks pregnant when I miscarried on March 6 2010 [My Angel Baby]. Well my husband and I have had sex since then and Im thinking I could be pregnant again because I just have that same feeling that I had when I was pregnant and plus Im peeing every two seconds. Is it bad that I havent had a regular period yet? Ive read that its best to have a regular period before you try to conceive again. Thanks for your time!

I had a baby 15 weeks ago and about 20 days got my 1st period back. then 16 days after my period started my partner and i made love and withdrew, but we are not sure if he did on time. so we went and got the morning after pill a few hours later just to be on the safe side. now 6 days after taking the morning after pill i am getting brown discharge. what does that mean? does it mean i could be pregnant again or does it mean that an embryo implanted and the morning after pill work (if that's the case i feel really bad). i thought the morning after pill was 95%, that's what it was when i had previously taken it, now its only 1 tablet to take and 75%. mind you i think im very fertile because our 1st baby was conceived and it was HIGHLY unlikely that anyone could conceive a baby...but we did. please no insulting, i just need good honest help. thanks.

I haven't had unprotected sex since I last got my period on Feb. 20th. My period was over in a week, no problems. I had protected sex twice the week after, and once more the week after that. All protected. So the last time I had sex was about 3 weeks ago. Each time protected. But, I just feel...not like myself. I ended up with a yeast infection, somehow. I heard you can get those during pregnancy. I never get them. I've had one years ago caused by antibiotics. My stomach is bloated and constantly the slightest bit upset and gassy(I'm taking green tea diet pills, if those can have anything to do with it, please let me know) and I just feel really nervous, as if I'm actually pregnant and just know it. My period is supposed to start any time before tuesday before it's considered "late", but I've been panicked enough and I'd just like to know if it seems like I could be pregnant? I'm an adult, by the way, and I RARELY have unprotected sex. That was a mistake I do NOT want to make again. Even though it was before my last period. Any help is appreciated. Thank you! I worded that weird. lol I got my period AFTER the unprotected sex. And it was a normal period. Nothing like implantation. I'm worried about the times after my period, even though I used a condom every single time.

On the 20th of last month i had sex, then on the 10 of this month i was suppose to have my period but I missed it, a week later I took a digital pregnancy test, it came out negative, I don't have any symptoms or anything, no cravings nothing oh and i also have a irregular period. I DO NOT want to be pregnant. So Do you think the test was acctually accurate?

I am 20 and almost 12 weeks pregnant, I am currently covered by COBRA by my mom's job but its 400$ a month for them and although my parents have a decent income its still kind of hard for them. So could I still be eligible for medicaid? Them having to pay this much a month is becoming a burden to them. The other option is to move in with my boyfriend because his household income is less. What would make the most sense? I am still under their insurance because I was in college full-time until Dec 09, I have been unable to find a full time job and until I do I am pretty much stuck, I do not want to move in with my boyfriend only for insurance reasons, we were planning that anyways. I came here for advice, not for anyone to be rude without understanding my entire situation. The Medicaid would simply be used until I get back on my feet & because I do not want my parents to have to pay for this.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and have been using little thin pantiliners pretty constantly. I accidentally bought "fresh scent" ones today and didn't realize my mistake until I'd already opened them. Is using these going to cause a problem? I wouldn't be concerned about it if I wasn't pregnant. Experiences?

I have been on the pill since I was 15 (am now 20), but I just recently switched pills less than a month ago. I didn't realize (stupid me) that I had to give it a month to get used to the new pills. If I had sex without a condom while on these pills, is it possible that I could be pregnant? By the way, I don't know if I'm late or not, my period is supposed to be next week.

I am 16 and the last time i had sex was on march break the first week of march with a condom and i got my period but it comes one day the other day it stops and i have menstral cramps even when they stop which isn't normal. i been hungry more lately , needing to pee like evry 15-20 minutes , nausea , dizzyness , tirednes i ain't getting an abortion no question. my boyfriend is really caring for me !

I last had sex 20 weeks ago. Before that my periods were really heavy and went on for a week but since then they havent properly been periods theyve just been black clottish lumps that im passing every month that are sticky and dont really create much of a mess. I dont think im pregnant because otherwise why would i be bleeding. Someone told me the other day that my stomach looked very swollen and round. Im going to go to the nurse anyway about the whole period situation but I need to know, do you think I should ask about being pregnant? please please please dont answer unless youre like, a medical person because i dont want to get all worked up thinking im pregnant when I might not be

hi, I have to travel when im in the beggining of my 7th-week pregnancy..jus wanna know if its safe to do that..my travel would be for 20 hrs with 4 hrs break up inbtn , as im leaving country...Pl suggest...thank you..

Ok, so my history is that i have a 2 yr old & been ttc for over a year now, since then i've had 1 miscarriage at less than 6 weeks & 3 chemical pregnancies. Finally missed period this month, took about 20 pregnancy tests, all positive! The last test i took though was digital & although period was nearly 10 days late, said i was 1-2 wks pregnant, i then started bleeding & have bled for about 4/5 days, really light but with clots so assumed another miscarriage. Whats confused me now is that i've done another digital test, just to confirm but it's come out saying pregnant 2-3 wks, how can my hormone levels be going up if i'm miscarrying, really confused, please help!! Thank you xx

I have really sore breasts have done now for the last week or more and I know I'm not pregnant. I do have quite large breasts but the pain is all over not spcifically the nipple. I'm worried about things like breast cancer but I really have no clue, im in my early 20's and very confused. can anyone help?

Scared of losing my man that is... He is an AMAZING man, the perfect boyfriend i'd say. I met him back 6 years ago when I was 18 and he was 20.. I was young and immature back then and wasn't sure what i wanted and so not on the same level with him, so it only lasted a little longer than a month and we went on our separate ways.. well since then (in the past 6 years) LOTS of bad luck has come my way in the relationship dept. I have had my heart broken a few times and was hurt and toyed with a lot by men!. For example, I was married (got left when i was pregnant.. he beat me.. etc etc), 2 other relationships, they turned to hard core drugs and also abused me/left me stranded in diff states/hungry/etc etc.. anyways, 2 months ago I was just browsing facebook and came across Lonnie (the ex from back then) and we started chatting again and next thing I know a week later he paid for a bus ticket for me to come out and see him.. well, 2 months later I am still here, have met his family,been to a few diff states with him already,met some of his buddies,etc etc.. he is just amazing and we are deeply in love. BUT.. I CANNOT seem to STOP worrying/thinking that he is eventually going to hurt me (like i am used to from my past relationships).. I keep asking him if he's happy with me/if he is sure he wants me/and things like that.. and I feel bad I keep asking because I know he is probably getting annoyed with how much i ask and how much he reassures me that he does want me/love me/wants a life with me/etc etc.. He has even talked about wanting to marry me if we are still this happy a year-2 years down the road... A week ago he did the cutest thing and got me a promise ring and told me that the ring means that he promises he is going to get me an engagement ring one of these days! So.. my main question here is.. HOW do I STOP being so scared of him leaving me???.. I keep telling him that its not that i DON'T trust HIM.. Its just that I am almost terrified of getting severely hurt in a relationship again after I give up my heart/my all. (I easily fall lol.. and i am sooo trying this time to prevent any heartache.. but man is it hard.. I am telling you, this guy is like a prince charming in every way possible) thanks so much for reading and any answers/advice

I am 29 weeks and started having them at about 20 weeks. Seems like I'm getting them more often now and I wouldn't say they hurt but they are uncomfortable sometimes. I know this is normal, just wondering how often you other pregnant ladies have them and what they feel like to you. just curious.

I am 20 weeks pregnant, and was unaware they sprayed my apartment for bedbugs earlier. I was only in there for ten minutes and left. It just smelled like paint thinner smell, not too overly strong though. has anyone else accidentally breathed in bedbug spray, or been in an apartment with bedbugs while pregnant? I am so worried, and i dont want my baby to be hurt by this. thanks.

so im 20 years old and i have 2 younger siblings my parents were never married but havent been together for about 5 years now. my dad has had a gf for a few years now, the same girl on and off...mostly for financial reasons. my dad has been in and out of jail for stupid stuff ( he is not a bad person) since i was a baby. my little brother had to go through it for a couple years but my little sister no. he was never really there for us much but is a great dad. i am a big daddys girl and since he got out of prison about a year and a half ago i feel like i finally have my dad back.. welll...my dads gf called me last night yelling and telling me my dads a piece of crap and stuff. that she is PREGNANT and he has been avoiding her for the past few days. they have known for about 2 weeks. why would my dad do this?! he hasnt been there really for any of us. he can barely pay child support...why would he just go and have another baby... i am so incredibly hurt. this was my biggest fear...i dont even want to ever talk to my dad again...

I was diagnosed with HPV (high risk) im currently 20 weeks pregnant. I was let know that after the delivery of the baby i would have following pap smear done and if found abnormal cells again i would have a procedure called calposcopy im not sure about a biopsy. But if either done im afraid. Has anyone experienced it? Any of them due to an abnormal pap smear test? What was it like painful? Can i continue to have children due to HPV? I 'd like to hear your story Thankyou for the time

Within the last week I have found out that I have genital warts. I am 20 weeks pregnant and I know that this could affect my baby HOWEVER, I think that there might be some growing inside my vagina. At least that is what it feels like. I am very fearful for my little one growing inside me and have a doctors appointment in a few hours, I just want some answers on here to ease my mind until then. Also, would laser/acid treatment by my doctor get rid of the warts towards my cervix being there is any?

i think my allergies are kicking in with the spring weather, my nose is runny and itchy, my throat constantly itches nad watery eyes, no fever so i don't thin is a cold. my ob said it's ok to use Zyrtec. i wanted to know if anyone used it and how well it works and if it give you any weird side effects. i don't think i can battle the allergies with out anything. thank you

I'm trying to take my mind off of these sick feelings that comes and goes and trying to enjoy being pregnant, so i've decided to start planning for my baby shower. I'm searching for ideas for inexpensive baby shower favors to give to the guests and prizes to give to the winners of the baby games. I'm also thinking of having at least three door prizes which may be cd's with songs that all have the word baby in them. IDK what do you think and i'm open to suggestions, thanks.

Hello! I had a baby 9 months ago, on June 20th 2009. Two months after I had him, I went on the 3 month Depo Provera shot. This was in August of 2009. I absolutely HATED what this shot did to me, so I didn't get another shot, though I was due for another one in November. It has been 7 months since I got that first shot, and my periods have been slowly trying to come back on. I started spotting in November and ever since then...the spotting would get heavy..and then stop. Or real heavy blood would come but only last a couple of hours to a few days. I absolutely cannot track my ovulation days any longer, since the spotting is quite unpredictable. But I had unprotected sex about two weeks ago and a few days after that, I had unprotected sex again. Over the weekend, I was experiencing some milky discharge and now, on Thursday, I have some light to medium brown spotting with cramping and bloating and tender breasts. The father thinks I'm pregnant but I think this might be symptoms of coming off the Depo because I don't believe I was ovulating when we had sex. I thought you have to have an actual, full on (more than 2 day) period in order to be ovulating again. Help? Thanks!

I am 17 weeks and 3 days pregnant with twins and for the past few days I have been walking the 20 minutes into town to meet my husband from work. I am used to doing this walk and walk it fairly often but now by the time I get into town I have been feeling faint and almost blacked out. My iron levels are fine, I have been taking pregnancy vitamins, I eat healthily and drink plenty. I will go to my midwife after I have talked to my mum about it (she had twins before) but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this during pregnancy?

My partner went for a testes ultrasound last week at the Radiology Department at RHH in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Anyway today they finally called back (10 days later) with his results, the lady who called my partner was foreign and had very poor english and all she told him was that he has an undecented right testicle which had ot be removed and that he had a cyst on his left testicle which also had to be removed. She then said oh and we've found cancerous tissue in the groin which needs removing as well, I will be calling you at a later date to arrange an appointment for you to come and see the Consultant and that was it, my partner was in shock and didn't even think to ask any questions at the time. I can't believe that she would tell him all of this over the phone and not ask him to come in to discuss this, as now we have to sit and worry! He was on his way to work at the time that she rang so he hasn't been able to call them back to ask questions, and I have tried to contact them myself (I know they wont give me information) but to chase up about this appointment, but am having no luck at the moment. Anyway, what Im wanting to know is has anyone had experince with any of these testicular problems? and if so are they as serious as Im making them to be in my head? Im so worried at the minute, we dont seem to know anything. My partner is only 21 and im 20 and im currently pregnant with our 1st child. Any info would be great, thanks xx

i cannot stop worrying about him. I'm afraid that somethings going to go wrong. My familys pregnancy history is all pretty healthy and good. As my 20 week scan my doctor said he looked healthy. but i still cannot stop worrying that somethings gonna go wrong. How can i calm myself ?

I had my first scan on the 28th october and was told i was 6wks 3 days and my due date was 19th june putting my LMP a 12th september 2009 instead of the 6th september now im 26wks4days pregnant when roughly did i concieve was it in august xx

hi i came off the pill in feb around the 20th, my partner and i are trying for no.2 just wondering what do you think to these symptoms- a few weeks ago i had a tummy bug but it took me much longer to 'recover' evreyone else who had it was ok after a couple of days it took me a week i had headaches, nausea, pains under my belly button, bloatedness and increased cm, all those symptoms have gone now sometimes i still get the pain under my bellynow and again but now im getting lower backache, painfull gas,really emotional,really sore boobs and still alittle bloated! im due my af this wkend so not long left till i can test! but what do you think do these sound promising? my first pregnancy i had no symptoms till i missed my af. thanks ladies *babydust*

My almost 4 yr old daughter yells, throws tantrums, runs off, spits, throws and rips her toys, tips out her water bottle on her carpet, hurts her 20 month old sister, takes food with out asking. i have done the yelling, smacking on the hand and bottom, saying 'no' calmly, the naughty corner, her room, and obviously nothing is helping. what else can I do??? im going insane here. im also 18 weeks pregnant and im so sick of having to yell a lot of the time to get through to her. what has worked for you???

Does anyone else have this problem? What would they see as suitable "excuse" for having an ultrasound earlier than 20 weeks? When I was pregnant with my first I was on a different insurance that allowed 2 routines and I had one at 7 weeks and one at 20... My sister in law has Spina Bifida and it runs on my husband's side of the family and I really want an ultrasound early so we will know if the baby has it and therefore I would have to take extra precautions throughout the whole pregnancy... Do you think my insurance will see this as a good enough "excuse" to be able to receive 2 routines? I just found out I'm pregnant so I haven't even had my 1st appointment yet with the OB just trying to plan ahead

Does anyone else have this problem? What would they see as suitable "excuse" for having an ultrasound earlier than 20 weeks? When I was pregnant with my first I was on a different insurance that allowed 2 routines and I had one at 7 weeks and one at 20... My sister in law has Spina Bifida and it runs on my husband's side of the family and I really want an ultrasound early so we will know if the baby has it and therefore I would have to take extra precautions throughout the whole pregnancy... Do you think my insurance will see this as a good enough "excuse" to be able to receive 2 routines? I just found out I'm pregnant so I haven't even had my 1st appointment yet with the OB just trying to plan ahead Well at my 7 week ultrasound they did check for Spina bifida last time and I am on special pre-natals that I started taking as soon as I stopped my birth contol in Jan... but that was with a family doctor not my OB was curious to see how much folic acid was in my prenatals and theres 4000 micrograms

I'm almost 20. My last period was Feb. 5. At the end of Feb, beginning of March I was having stomach problems. I started getting really hungry and therefore started eating more. In the past 3-4 weeks I have gained 10 lbs. I am ALWAYS tired. My average sleep is 6-8 hours per night. Then I take 3-4 hour naps during the day. I usually fall asleep in my college classes. I pee all the time this has happened the past few weeks (2-3 weeks). I wont even drink anything and have to pee. I took pregnancy test 3 days ago and it said negative so I know I'm not pregnant (even though everyone including my parents have asked me that) so what on earth could it be?

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and only recently that it's been hard to find a comfortable position when we have sex. Three weeks ago, I started waking up in the middle of the night due to the bed shaking and have come to realise that he is masturbating! Im just a bit worried as I have never seen him do this before after being together for two years. And he still does it even when we had sex before we went to sleep, so its not like he's not getting it. We still make love regularly. Why do you think he does it? Does men still masturbate even when they have a partner and have sex regularly?

Here's the deal....i had sex with my Ex boyfriend on December 20th and 26th..we broke up and i had sex with my guy friend on the 29th of December. after having sex with my guy friend on the 29th i took the Next choice emergency contraceptive pill about 9 hours after sex. That day i felt some cramping so i took an clear blue digital ovulation test and it had a smiley face. here i am 13 weeks and 1 day pregnant and according to my last menstrual cycle and gyno my conception date was December 28th. I know if the morning after pill is takin up to 24 hours after sex its 95% effective. Both guys know im pregnant and im really hoping its my Ex's which now is my boyfriend again. I made a huge mistake because of one drunken night. if i hadn't takin the morning after pill id really be freakin out but since i did im thinking i was pregnant from either the 20th or 26th with my Ex and that's why the morning after pill didnt work..but then again i had a positive ovulation test on the 29th..its only 3 days apart so im just really stressing..who do you think could most likely be the father? do you think the morning after pill could have just failed on me?

was masturbating and I ***ed on my shirt that was on the ground right before I stepped in the shower. ,15-20 minutes later my mom walks In with her socks and Might've step on it. I think 20 minutes later she took off her sock and could've touched it. idk if she masturbated because about 20 minutes later the door was locked . Can she get pregnant even though her tubes are tied. I know it sounds silly but I keep stressing over it.i cant talk to anybody so you guys are my only hope. So please help me i really am getting stressed. ( this happened 2 weeks ago and i think my aunt told me she was on her period) and my sis told me she had a hemroid, i heard people get hemroids when there pregnant, so please help me :(

my husband was home in december from the army. and i conceived in december anywhere from the 20th to the 29th my father told me two weeks ago he has a hunch that i am having identical twin boys and is really serious about it i was at the doc for my first visit and they said i was measuring big about 17 to 18 i felt moving at 12 weeks and now i am feeling pinching..... they could not find two heart beats but they said sometimes its heard to find the other they are going to give me an ultra sound next weeks but i really cant wait i hope its twins .... can you help me please thanks

is it normal to pee more then you usually do??

Im 26 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend of 3 years is the father. I was on birth control but it failed so it wasnt like we were trying to get pregnant in such bad circumstances. Anyway we are both only 20 which is still very young to have a baby in Ireland. I had a very very low paid job working with horses untill recently when I had to give up and move home with my parents as I was unable to work any longer because of the pregnancy. My boyfriend works in his families business and they also pay him very badly so he has no option but to live in his parents home as he cant afford to rent. My parents have been very supportive of us and are helping us out in any way they can. My boyfriends mother refuses to give us any help at all. My bf is trying his best, giving all he can afford for the baby. Since his mother found out about the pregnancy she has been extra mean to my bf and decided that he has to start paying rent for living in her house- this will cost him a lot of the very tiny wage they pay him. My health insurance does not cover all of my medical fees for the pregnancy so I still had to pay 1000 euro. My mom said she would pay half if my bf could come up with another 500. As his parents take all his money he asked them for a loan of the 500. His mother went crazy sayin how dare he ask and that he has to support the child without any help from her or his father. My parents ended up paying the whole 1000. (I will pay them back once I can work again). My bf parents are very wealthy (fancy cars, heaps of hollidays, eating out EVERY night) so its not klike it would kill them to help out to get their first grandchild safely into the world! They say they want to involved with the baby and I know they will spend heaps of money spoiling the child once it arrives and try to buy it so it will love them most They wont help out on anything that matters! Im really annoyed. She just wants to take all my bfs wages so he will have to ask her for money so that she can control him. You would be mad too right? Actually, Mr. Awsome I have a university degree in equine science but you still cant work with horses when your 6 months pregnant now can you? At the free pregnancy care in Ireland you have to que up all day for a scan, you are put in an overcrowded ward at the hospital and you dont even get a proper doctor at the birth. Believe me you wouldnt come out of it alive the healthcare system is a disgrace!

My girlfriend and I live in different towns, roughly 130 miles from each other, though her home town is where I live and her parents still live here. Her and I dated in high school for a year but she cheated on me with my best friend so it was broken off. Her parents have always liked me and thought of me as the sweetest guy. Then... After 6 years she contacts me and we start talking again and eventually begin to date yet remaining in different towns. We only see each other once or twice per month because of school and during one of those visits I got her pregnant. She forgot to tell me she hadn't taken her birth control for 2 weeks so it was indeed an accident and we decided to go through with an abortion. After she went to the doctor she called me and started yelling at me for not driving there to be there for her. I didn't know what to say because previous to this she expressed no emotion or feelings or thoughts about the abortion. It was completely by surprise. She told her parents, which her mom of course has to be a marxist feminist (a narrow minded moronic philosophy fighting a perceived injustice for those that don't know) and now her mom won't even talk to me. My girlfriends mom is playing her as a puppet now telling her the moves to make so she broke up with me and is remaining distant from me when we talk. I wrote my now exgirlfriend a letter about my love etc to her which I spent more than 8 hours working on because I wanted it to be perfect and she said she thought it was good and thoughtful. But 20 minutes later she calls me and says that she let her mom read it and she said that its completely empty and uncaring. She all of a sudden changed her opinion about it because her fucking mom. I made a mix CD for my exgirlfriend to listen to, I drew pictures, I wrote 2 more letters over the weekend to her. Although I did this because I love my girlfriend, her mom thinks otherwise and is feeding her daughter propaganda that I'm a stalker. All I want is my girlfriend back. She is finally warming up to me, but her mom is still being a completely unresponsive to me. I don't know what to do, please help. I feel like she had put a blind over my eyes as though it was a trap when she expressed 0 emotion about doing the abortion and then all of a sudden she is crying. Although my feelings don't matter apparently to them or my perspective, I should have been there regardless, I know now, but tell me what I need to do to save my relationship and redeem myself and gain her parents graces again.

my doctor gave me an ultrasound at 2 days shy of 17 weeks.. i asked even though it was a bit early if she could maybe tell us if it's another boy or a girl. she said 95% sure it's a girl! At my 20 week ultrasound and the tech said it's a boy!. Then my the baby wouldnt uncross the little legs again so we can see for sure.. we are so confused.. i'm dying to know but half temped to wit til july when the baby is born.. my husband wants to go have a 3d ultrasound.. what to do? i'm sure it's another little gorgeous guy! ♥ it's my husband that is making me feel confused saying our doc knows more than a tech..

My husband suddenly wants out of our marriage now that I am pregnant with our second child. I've cried a million tears already, and right now I'm just angry. He didn't start acting different till he started hanging out with this new group of guys. All they do is hang out all the time, smoke pot, and ride around acting like kids. They are all younger than my husband, which is 25. I'm thinking that he may be trying to "get his youth back" (which he is still young) and might be trying finish sowing his wild oaks. I don't know but he never hardly comes home anymore. When he does, it's always past 10 pm. We've already got a daugther, and he is missing out on her life, which pisses me off severely. Anyway, he says he is filing for divorce. The thing is that we've basically been getting along just fine (other than having to deal with the tension of him being gone so much). I don't know what the hell his problem is. It's like he's having some sort of early mid life crisis. He says he doesn't love me anymore, and when he says it, it doesn't seem like he means it. I feel like his new "buddies" are pushing the issue trying to get him to leave me so they can have him all to themselves. He spends most of his money on them, buying pot for them and taking them out to eat. He also rides them around everywhere, so of course they want to see more of him. He says he is going to move out and get his own apartment. He says he is just not ready to be a family man (too late). Nothing he is saying makes sense, nor does it seem like it is coming from him. When those guys don't call him, he stays home, and acts like himself. He is getting an apartment with the youngest guy, which is 20 and does NOT work. This is all very hurtful, but now I'm just pissed. He only makes 300.00 per week after taxes. The apt. he wants is 380.00 per month. His power will probably be around 80.00 - 100.00, and then there is the water bill, gas for his truch, CHILD SUPPORT, ailimony (if I qualify) food, and his truck payment which is 180.00 per month. My question is, how the hell does he think he is going to do all this? He only makes 1200.00 per month. I personally don't think he is thinking about the extra responsibilty of having his own place, plus child support, paying all of his own bills, having to support a 20-year old guy, etc. As long as we've lived together, we've always split the bills down the middle, and have a home that is payed for. I think the only thing he is thinking about is having a place where him and his dumbass friends can hang out and party. I mentioned the cost of everything to him the other day, and then he got reeeeaaaaly quiet, and went outside and just stared for like 30 minutes. He also started being sweet toward me again. He is so confusing to me right now. It's like he is just too easily influenced! He is my husband, and I do love him dearly. We've been together for almost 7 years. I was just trying to open his eyes to what he is really doing, not what he dreaming of doing. It's not going to be easy for him by no means, I just wish he could see that and tell his friends (which are by the way, counting on him to leave me) to fuck off. I just feel like he has no idea what he is getting himself into. I can see it clearly, but he obviously cannot.
