im 22 weeks pregnant, and since about 18 weeks my sons movements have been flutters, then 2 days ago i felt a couple of actual kicks or punches and today he is so active, no question about it, kicks and punches all over the place, which is great but is it normal to have such a big overnight change? how was it for you? also i drink alot of tea, do you think this makes him more active? and i was nervous today because i had my first antenatal class.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and just started feeling my baby move. It usually happens when I'm lying on my back, or -- very strangely -- when I'm eating pineapple! I know that movement is a great sign of health but I want to know is: is fetal movement a sign that the baby likes what's going on, or hates it? I would hate to keep eating pineapple if the baby has an aversion to it! I know it's kind of a silly question so thanks for not laughing!

How does it fare well with thee? How are your husband's/baby's father treating you these days? I'm 22 weeks along and it seems as though my husband is a whole lot more attracted to me than before. He makes me feel good and loved even more often, and overall leaves me in a pleasant mood (stress-free!) every day. Perhaps after I cried like a gagillion times in front of him because of hormone fluctuations in the past months and I told him to just make sure I feel happy? Are your husbands trying too hard, or hardly trying? I know some can be quite distanced from their woman when they are pregnant, which is sad. Lets hear some smiley-lovey-moments! My husband, I believe, isn't just trying hard but really is taking good care of me. I've had some stressful moments so he's making sure I don't go through the stress as often as I do. He does the laundry, cleans the bathroom, cooks 50% of the time (equal share in this department), does the vacuuming as well. Sometimes acts too cool, but I love him for everything he's doing for me.

period has been coming every 22,23 days apart for the past couple months. before that it usually arrives 27 days apart. last i got pd was dec. 8, me and my boyfriend have been and were sexually active, unprotected, during my highest fertile days. i thought i would get my period 23 days apart again but nothing. so then i figured i would get it normally 27 days apart and still nothing. i took a hpt yesterday afternoon and it was negative. did i test too soon? i have most if not all preg symptoms(mostly, tired, hungry, cramping on and off for more than a week) To me, if my period is supposed to come it will come no matter how much i think about it, but nothing yet. has this ever happened to anyone? when do you think i should re test? *also, i had sex last night for the first time in a couple days and it was a bit uncomfortable.(never experienced that) when i woke up and went to the bathroom i wiped faint pink(lasted for about an hour on and off), nothing on underwear though(if tmi, sorryy..) and it has gone away completely. **Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I'm 22 years old and have a 10 month old son. My last REAL period was on October 22nd and my husband and I have been trying for another baby. I was 100% certain I was pregnant again. I remember the symptoms, but here is the kicker. I started having light spotting 2 weeks past my missed period and thought it may have been cervical erosion. (The spotting would start when we'd have sex.) That spotting went on for a few days and then went away. The spotting then started again a week later and that went for a week and then it stopped again and then started bleeding a few days later and it was light bleeding (which is not normal for me if I'm getting my period.) I'd wipe and the blood was watered down. Then the bleeding stopped for a couple of weeks and then my husband and I had sex again and then I immediately started bleeding again and it still hasn't stopped. I'm having heavy bleeding with small little clots with NO cramps only a bloated feeling which makes me nervous. I normally have severe cramps with heavy bleeding to the point where I cannot walk it hurts so bad. So, this is definitely not normal for me. My basal body temperature is still high and hasn't come down. It's been going between 97.6-98.3 and my normal temperature while bleeding is between 95.6-96.2. So, this is another reason why I think I may be pregnant. My temperature stayed high with my son. Here is the kicker. I can take any pregnancy test and it will come back negative. Took me till I was 10 weeks to get a positive with my son. I think I'm running into the same problem and we don't have insurance at the moment. So, until I know for sure I don't want to see a doctor. Does this sound like subchorionic bleeding to you? Anybody that's been through this that can help me? PLEASE!

I am approx 10 weeks pregnant and just found out yesterday. I IMMEDIATELY went to medicaid and applied for benefits and was told it will be 20 business days. I lost my son at 22 1/2 weeks due to an incompetant cervix. I was told that I would have to get a cerclage immediately on my next pregnancy. No dr will even SEE me, let alone do a cerclage, until I get my medicaid paperwork. What do I do? Advice please???

Right now I am on implanon and it sucks. I have gained 45 ponds in one year and bleed for 6 weeks, every six weeks. I talked to a obgyn about this and she said it was normal that this was my rythm. But when I went on the implanon website they said it wasnt normal. Also i fall into that .01% of people that most birth controls do not work for. I have five children. the crazy part is that after an accident when I was a child they had to surgically remove half of my uterus and I was told that It there was only a 20% chance that I would ever concieve and only 2% that I would ever carry a child to term. Imagine my shock when I did become pregnant and carried a healthy baby girl for 36 weeks. After that I went on depo one year later exactly I was pregnant again. After that I went on the pill and just to be safe my husband and I used condoms and spermicide. I became pregnant again exactly one year later. With my fourth we decided to use the family planning method. It worked for 3 years until we got a little intoxicated and we blew off the timing. With my fifth I had the Minerna IUD. Despite what they tell you apparently the real statistics are that 1 in 10 get pregnant with this. I went another 3 years before I did get pregnant. Before you say I should get my tubes tied, or do something permanent, this is absolutley out of the question, one because it is a miracle that I became pregnant in the first place and 2 becasue I plan on being a surrogate for my sister in law who cannot have children. Also my mom is like me she had 7 children and my little brother was the result of my mom having her tubes tied and my dad had a vesectomy. 12 years after her 6 my bro was born and I am 22 years older than him. In the meantime I need something with out all the side effects. all the other birth controls I was on, I never got a period at all and didnt gain any wait. I was a size 6 after my 4th child and now I am pushing size 18. Any suggettions would be great or even websites where I can compare different methods.

I'm 22 weeks pregnant, 23 years old in my final year of university and my boyfriend has just left me. I feel so devastated as i loved him so much I just dont know what to do. Everything seems to be getting on top of me and the stress of uni and working and now him leaving can't be good for my baby. I just feel like i have no one to turn to none of my friends have has children yet, I just cant seem to pick myself up this time does anyone have any advice?

im 22 weeks pregnant and 184cm tall, before getting pregnant i weighed 81kg now i weigh 91kg im wondering if im putting on weight too quick or is it normal. some people say 14kg all up but i highly doubt i'll only gain 14 for the whole pregnancy

hi all can u please advise. i am attending the coombe hospital in dublin and am having a huge problem. i am 37+5 today. have been suffering with kidney infections throughout but most recently have been in quite some pain the last four days, including vomitting up what little food i do eat, strong pain in back and front, like cramps. the UTI as mentioned also. i cant walkbecause i am literally crippled within mins from baby pressure and cant drive because its uncomfortable. keep having hot baths and constantly lying down to ease all of the above. spoke to my own GP this morning and he reccomends i go to the hospital that i am "nearly 38 weeks which is perfect to induce etc as close to full term" but i refused as this hospital have before sent me home twice even when admitted on my gp letter, and its behind a joke. he then told me to ring the hospital and speak to my OBGYN and explain, i have been trying all morning, as well as himself (he twice rang). the switchboard dont take messages or leave you to a voicemail, and i am genuinely cracking up here at home. i cant seem to cope and its really giving me the blues can anyone advise or something, i feel like i am in a catch 22 situation. and for those who seem to think i am moaning over nothing. BOTH i and my own GP have been trying to contact the OBGYN, in the hospital as is stated in my question, so your comments about " go to a gp" make no sense and also is hurtful calling me an insulting name.

I have had endometriosis for 7 years and been on Lupron for 5 years consistently. The Lupron started at 11.25 mg, moved up to 22.5 mg, and now I am on 33.75 mg. Within the last 8 months I stop taking the add back (which I started taking again 2 days ago) norethindrone (a birth control). In the last week or so I have been nauseous and am concerned I am pregnant. Is this possible? I haven't had a period in 5 years, doesn't that mean I can't get pregnant? And if i do try to take a home pregnancy test, will it come out correctly since I don't have a time line (ie missed period) to judge when to take it?

Ok here goes nothing... Im a mother of 2 teenagers I have been living with their father (call him H) since I was 16 years old, never married. After six years of “marriage” and a lot of physical and mental abuse, I met this guy (I’ll call him S) that was really sweet to me and treated me very well but until then we were just friends. I found out one day that the man I had given my youth to had another woman. I went to college the day I found out, and I was mopey all day. S was really comforting and spent the day with me we didn't go to any of our classes, we just sat in the students lounge talking all day. A few weeks went by and i started seeing him as more than a friend, he had been with me thru thick and thin before and I felt like I was falling for him and on top of that I felt attracted to him because he was a virgin and I always wanted to know how it felt to make love to a virgin man (he was 20 I was 22).One day while in an English literature class we were passing naughty notes to one another and i asked him how it felt to kiss his first girl. To my surprise he wrote back "Im a virgin, never been kissed" I wrote back "maybe I can help with that last part". The look on his face when he read that was incredibly hilarious, I couldnt help but laugh out loud and the proffesor gave me an angry look. When everyone left the room we were left alone in it. I walked up to him and sat on a desk. He stood before me being or trying to be very casual. I just looked into his eyes and I knew he wanted that kiss, but he wouldnt dare come one inch closer to me. He is taller than me by about 5-6 inches and I rarely wore heels so getting off the desk was out of the question, so I grabbed his shirt and pulled him toward me. He took 2 steps forward and I wrapped my arms around his neck. I looked into his eyes and he said “ I don’t know how to…” I put my finger on his lips and stopped him midsentence. I pulled him closer, closed my eyes and kissed him. I couldn’t believe the feeling I got from doing something “forbidden” . The adrenaline rush was something I had never felt before something that cant be put into words. He wrapped his arms around me and we kissed for what seemed like a lifetime. When we finally pulled away, we just started giggling and left the classroom. From then on the relationship escalated into a passionate love affair. I didn’t feel guilty at all because it was revenge (now I know it wasn’t right). We would take every possible moment we had alone to sneak out of college to make love in the nearest motel. We even at some point tried to get pregnant so I would run off with him (very irresponsible) but it never happened. Two years into the relationship with S he bought a ring and asked me to marry him. I freaked out and told him I couldn’t marry him because I was living with someone to what he replied: “yes, you do. someone who treats you like sh*t, who beats you, and has no worry whatsoever in pleasing you sexually” (H would get off and I had to take a “cold shower”). After that he begged me to keep the ring even if the answer was still no. One day we had a fight and I told him I wasn’t gonna be with him anymore, and we broke up. That was tearing me apart but I was trying to make things work with H. S called me so many times for us to meet and work things out that after so much persistence I went to see him. We spoke and he finally convinced me to give him another try. Just when we got up and hugged, my mother in law pulled over where we were and hell broke loose. To make the story short “H” found out and made me humiliate myself by walking on my knees begging him for forgiveness, something I did because he threatened to take my children away. I was told that I could never see S again and if I did he would hire someone to kill him or harm him. I was really scared and never called or txted or anything to my loved S. 10 years have gone by and my situation hasn’t changed H is still abusive, now to me and my kids too. 2 years ago I met this guy who is younger than me. (well call him A) and is really sweet and everything I have been living in the same house with H but in separate rooms for almost 3 yrs. I met A on an online game, from there we moved to talking using Nintendo wifi and using a game that allows voice chat we have been talking for the past 2 yrs. we have exchanged pictures over icq and even sent each other packages over mail. But S has come back into my life and my old feelings for him threaten my new relationship. To top it all off H keeps telling me he loves me and has strong desire for my body and my love. I feel bad for H but theres no love there anymore, he killed all of it. When he touches me I feel disgusted. As for A and S…that is where my problem lies. I have fallen in love with the younger A and I love him to bits but he is about 4,000 miles away, although he loves me too and is willing to take my kids in and give me babies (which I have wanted for a loooong itme) and

My friend has lost two babies in the past year. Her 1st was 25 weeks premature, the 2nd was 22 weeks premature. With her 1st she would often go out drinking. I tried to talk her out of it but she kept shoving me off. Saying just because i was so pathetic about been pregnant doesn't mean she should be. Within month of losing her 1st she was pregnant again..still drinking lots. I thought after her loss she would be more careful and when i tried to talk to her again we ended up in a big row.. she said that i was been uptight and that i thought i was better than her. That's when i said (regrettably) that it would be her fault if anything was to go wrong again. I know it was a horrible thing to say but it was in a heated row and i hated the fact she seemed to not care! A few days later she lost her 2nd. She now hates me, she will not talk to me but i feel like i was trying to look out for her. It was probably nothing to do with her drinking that caused the deaths but it seemed silly to me risking something like that. Should i feel so guilty? Or do you think i was right in trying to help? I need honest answers x

I am 32 weeks pregnant (8 months) and my unborn daughter's father (whom planned this pregnancy with me) left me at 8 weeks pregnant (2 months.) I haven't seen him since 12 weeks pregnant (3 months) and rarely talk to him. He has decided to come to my appointment and ultrasound tomorrow. I haven't seen him and barely have heard from him in FIVE months! I am so nervous, part of me doesn't even want him to come. I have had serious pregnancy complications since 22 weeks. I have no idea why he left, we weren't fighting, it was just one day 180. Any advice? I'm freaking out.

Already went to the DR and they said no preterm and my cervix is nice and thick and closed. But, they put me on bed rest..still nervous.. thanks guys....i guess im just over nervous lol...my husband says im a worry wart lol..you guys are all so helpful and make me feel alot more secure..funny how yall could do that and the labor and delivery dr couldnt LOL

I'm soon turning 22 and have finished university and am engaged to my partner. I have just found out that I am 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant and me and my partner want to keep this baby....my only concern is whether or not it would be fair to bring a child into the world when we would struggle financially? I mean we could definately cope but it would be hard. We have talked about it and our main fears are the reactions of our parents and whether or not we could provide everything the child would need and more, ofcourse, with no doubt at all, the child would be loved. Please help as I'm driving myself crazy with the thought of it. Thanks x by the way....i did use protection, this just happened.

Can someone please give me some more info on this condition? I'm debating on if I want to get a 2nd opinion or not and this is why. I'm 22 years old and I've had some heart issues for about a year now and I went to the cardologist finally back in Aug of 2008 and was supposibly diagnosed with SupraVentricular Tachycardia. That's what he claimed I have after he looked at the results of the 24 hr monitor I had wore. I agreed that I had the condition he said but the more I read about this condition I'm just not sure now if I 100% believe that this is what I have. After being pregnant and giving birth to my son in Aug of 2007 it seems my heart start acting up. Mind you that I had high blood pressure throughout my whole pregnancy, I had to take blood pressure medicine while pregnant then my blood pressure went back to normal after delivering him and I no longer had to take the meds. Anyways....What my heart does is sometimes for weeks at a time my heart will be fine, it will give me no trouble at all then all of a sudden for a few days straight I will have heart palpitations that only lasts for no more than a few seconds, it feels like my heart sorta stops for a split second then flutters real fast for a couple seconds and then that's it, no pain no palpitations lasting for minutes at a time, nothing like that. The reason i'm confused on this condition is because from what it looks like, if you have this condition then your hearts speeds up to 100bpm or more for more than a few seconds, is this correct? It seems like my heart acts up more when i get really full from eating, or when I walk, or when it's really hot outside, and caffeine will sometimes do it and most def stress will cause it to happen. What are all the symptoms of this condition and how serious is it? I'd like to think the Doc is wrong but we'll see. Any info would be appreciated.

just curious. my grandmother had two of her children at 7 months pregnant, and my mom had me a month early. her due date with me was sept 22 and her water broke and i came august 22. im just curious cuz im just wondering about my baby, i know i have 16 more weeks to look forward to, just wondering if premature babies run in the family? the father was full term i believe, if that helps...

should i be worried because i am 22 weeks pregnant and i came down with staph on my arm? will it harm my baby?? cristie

I am almost 6 weeks pregnant and last night I started having really bad cramps and heavy bleeding. I called my doc and she told me to go to the er so I did, they did a ultrasound and a blood test to measure my hormone levels, I was measuring 4 weeks. They said I am healthy and don't look like to be having any problems, they just said to go to the doctor in 48 hours to get my levels checked again, if they are lower or the same I am miscarrying, but if it goes up everything is fine. But I am scared to death and need to know.... has this happened to anyone else and if so what was the outcome.. what is happening to me! Also I have a healthy 22 month old and I also am still bleeding. The cramps arent so bad now. any advice please!

Ok... here's my story.... October 22 was my last period. Ever since then I have had NO blood what so ever. I cramp around the time my period is due but NO blood!!! just sometimes white discharge which I find to be quite disgusting! It has no odor or itch it just comes out. Also... I had unprotected sex on October 31 twice but I had just came off the birth control pill 3 weeks prior. I was told from different people that comin off the pill makes u more prone to become pregnant because ur horomones are at a higher level... i'm not sure with the truth behind that... I tested once a week ago and it was negative... i've heard of girls not getting their positive til a few months into pregnancy... i feel i have been having symptoms but i do realize that sometimes you're mind plays tricks... my belly bloats and it looks like i'm pregnant but my it goes away. my friend told me when she was pregnant it happened to her and it was called pregnancy bloating.. any body have ANY helpful advice or personal experiences which you can relate?? i'm really trying to be patient and wait because it could be out of whack b/c of the birth control BUT BUT BUT i had a normal period AFTER getting off the birth control that is wat worries me

i am 22 weeks pregnant and i used to work in a bakery so got used to daily supply of bacon sandwiches, pasties and cake, and im slim, i have a good metabolism because im 21, but i know im supposed to be eating fruit and veg and drinking 6 glasses of water of day and i just cant manage it! i might eat one piece of fruit, couple of veg, drink some oj or milk but then its all fatty food, chips, choc, icecream, crisps. my baby is completely healthy and the right size and my blood pressure, protein and iron levels are perfect but do you think my son might have issues when hes older with food or being fat or heart problems? i will love him regardless of any of that but i want to know if my diet will have negative effects on him? p.s i take my folic acid/mineral supplement everyday

Hi there, in November, I suffered a miscarriage, i was 6 weeks into the pregnancy at age 31. This happened to be a 2nd miscarriage, first occured when i was 16. I have had a son in between at the age of 22. I have just found out i am pregnant again...took 3 tests to make sure as i took the tests 6 days b4 period. all tests have come out positive. My LMP was on the 10th December, that was the only period i saw after my miscarriage( was advised to wait 1 month b4 trying again). However I am now so anxious and extremely worried about miscarrying again. Could any1 share similar experiences or know what my chances are of miscarrying again. Thanks so much!

22 yrs old! I am scared and I really don't like doc. only because when i went to the community health center for the 1st time(Nov.2,2008) and asked for test before she sent me to the lab. she told me to wait in the room until she came back as soon as she step out in the hall i hear her talking to one of her doc. friends telling her "she(which is Me) trying to get pregnant for what the only reason her period wont come on is because she is ova weight" i thought to myself now the doc was bigger than me(i am 213 lbs) i have been bigger than this(245lbs) but the bigger i got i would some times bleed twice a month, but for 2 years i maintain weight and have had 7 day periods every 28 days.i have an appt. coming for obgyn at a differnt place 7th of Jan2009. Help! i wanna know what do u think? My Symptoms; Quicken flutters No nausea, except during no.2 Yes sore, jiggly water bag breast dark nipples Yes fatigue Yes Missed period 12 weeks going on 13 weeks late i did (1) dollar tree test it was neg, I had all blood work done from cholestorol to hormone levels even test my finger for diabetes. The dollar tree test was at week 4. I will take another one in the morning

My husband and i are ready for number two. I did the ovulation test and it said the 22-25 of dec were my days. So my period is supposed to start on the 8th. I took a test yesterday and it was neg. With my first i knew like a week after. Is each pregnancy different in hormone levels like that? And is it too early to test?

Ok, she is 22 years old, married and she seems to have some symptoms of pregnancy, but when asked she says she's not. She had a miscarriage about a year and half ago, and since then she swore she wouldn't tell anyone until she was 12+ weeks. But anyway, she's been sick a lot over the last two weeks or so, has gained a little weight, and got her bridesmaid dress 2 sizes too big to allow room to grow (her friends wedding is in June). She quit smoking. And she has been having some horrible mood swings. Does it sound like she's pregnant to you, or am I just crazy? I haven't asked her anything. My mother and father have, and they asked me if she told me anything. Just to get that cleared up. I respect her space and her decision to wait. As I am going to wait until 12+ weeks also.

I've had my paraguard IUD for a little over 3 years. Ever since I've first started my period, its been very regular and always lasts 5 days (I started it when I was 11 and now I am 22). This shows you how regular I am. This last period, it only lasted one day and was very light and usually its very heavy the first day or two. I guess you could say I spotted a LITTLE after that, but not even enough for a tampon or even a panty liner. I've had a headache 4 times in the past week and today I feel like I have a sour stomache, like with my daughter. Usually with the flu my muscles ache, but today I feel like I have sour stomach and for about 2 weeks my sides ache like light cramps. could i be pregnant? i dont want to waste the money on a test if its likely Im not. and I would see a dr but I dont have insurance right now!!!!! with my daughter i never had implantation bleeding or any bleeding at all. any advice?? please and thank-you.

I am 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant and last night I noticed my ankles were severly swollen along with some slight swelling in my fingers only noticable when I try to bend them and both symptoms have kept up. I called my OB office as the swelling in my ankles didn't pop back out when I pressed them and talked with the on call OB (of course the only one I hate) and she said to drink water with lemon juice in it and lay down/elevate my legs/feet. My mom then prompted me to take my blood pressure and it was 130/78. Except for one time at a Chiropractor's office my blood pressure has always been under 120 and under 60. Pregnancy is a natural blood pressure lowerer so it has been lower during my pregnancy. I'm only 18 years old, have gained 25 lbs so far during the pregnancy (started gaining at four months) so I have gained that amount in four months. I'm a healthy person and small woman at five feet four inches tall and 111 lbs pre-pregnancy. I haven't done any physical activity since 15 weeks due to Placenta Previa, which then turned into Placenta Abruption at 22 weeks and have been on limited bed rest since 22 weeks. I got a steroid series including two injections at 24 weeks since at that point I could go into pre-term labor at any point. I know Edema (swelling), fluid retention is normal during this point in pregnancy but what about the blood pressure? Experiences, advice, knowledge on anything mentioned? I also want to add I passed my Gestational Diabetes test at 28 weeks.

My last regular period was in March 22,2008 I was on a 28day cycle. In November my Gyn gave me progesterone to regulate my period. Now I did get my period in the month of Nov. on the 16th. I have been sexually active so I have not got my period since then. Fertility window was Nove 27th- Dec.2nd. If I were to be pregnant how many weeks would I be? I dont understand much about the weeks and all that. First time TTC, I am 28 yrs old. My breast ache and I have been having CM watery, clear, on and off. Never taken Birth Control in my life. I Started my period when I was 10, it was regular til March 2008. Now I did take and hpt a couple of weeks ago and it was negative. I know you are not doctors and I have talk to my ob/gyn about it. I just want some advice or suggestions from your past experience that maybe could help me. I just started an ovulation chart about 2 days ago still learning about it. Wow TTC is alot of work. I thought that having a baby was just to have sex and thats it!

I had sent a question in last week wondering if i could be pregnant. My husband and i had unprotected sex on 12/18. that eve i started my period (lighter than usual and it was already late) . We tried again on 12/22 and 12/24. On 12/27 i had cramping in my left ovary. On the 28th I started to spot and this lasted for about 5 days on and off. Only two days there was actual dark red blood. I took a test today and it is neg., but is it too early to tell since my last cycle was irregular? How do you tell when you are ovulating if your cycles tend to be irregular half the time?? Sorry a lot of info, but I'm getting fed up. Just want a baby...

and am a little worried as the sonographer says the umbilical cord has only 2 vessels instead of 3. has anyone else had similar experiences, if so what happened?

i have a really bad cough, sore throat and stopped up nose. along with chaped lips and just feeling like crap. when i first got pregnant the doc. gave me a list of things i could and couldn't take. and i miss placed it. i've been like this for the past 3 days, at first i just thought it was the weather, but its only gotten worse with time. i go to my doc next week. should i just wait and see if i can get something over the counter or should i call my doc. i'm pretty sure i haven't been running a temp. but i don't know for a fact. please help. this really sucks.

I am engaged to be married to the man God has said would be my husband and I his wife. He was previously married and divorced with two kids who live on the other side of the country. We have only been together for about 6 months now. Anyway I have a 4 year old son and I just met his kids for the first time over Christmas break. About two weeks ago I found out I was pregnant. He wanted me to go to the doctor and get more proof than the home pregnancy tests. I did but am waiting on the results. Besides having been pregnant before, I know that I am. Prior to my 4 year old, I had two abortions both at 22 and that was "THE" worst year of my life and I made a promise to myself and God never to go down that road again. It took years to heal from those scars. Now that my fiance and I aren't getting along as well as we should and we have good then bad days back and forth, he is asking me to terminate the pregnancy, stay together get married later and in a few years have another child. From my past I don't want to relive that and I told him no. I don't want to raise another child by myself but I will if I have to. He said he would help me if I did go through with it, but that his current opinion should matter and it doesn't because it's not his body. I thought he would marry me and take care of me regardless but with some of the issues between us he doesn't feel it's in the best interest for anyone to have this child. Please Help!

I guess this is a Part-Two to my last question. I spoke of being jealous of and angered and saddened by pregnant women. My husband is having a vasectomy on Wednesday morning. I don't want him to. I know it sounds selfish, but I would like to have one more child. We have a 21 month old daughter and 5 week old son together, and I love my children to death, but I don't feel as if our family is complete yet. I keep trying to tell him that I'm not going to be very happy on Wednesday. I've tried to convince myself that him having this vasectomy is best for our family, I've tried to hide my sadness behind it all, and put on a face, but the closer it gets, the harder it is to hide. Anytime I try to bring up how I feel about it, he brushes me off and doesn't listen, claims that I hate him, and even jokes saying things like "You can cheat on me and then you can have a third child". It really upsets me and disappoints me, knowing that in a few days, I will never have another child. We're only 22 and 28, and at 22, I'm not ready to finish my family. I don't feel like it is complete yet. We did discuss, at the beginning of my pregnancy with our son, having the vasectomy when we were finished having kids. He says he's finished, but I'm not. I didn't think that he would be going for it so soon, I thought he'd put it off for at least a few months, but instead, he scheduled it for 3 weeks after our son's due date (December 13), and our son was born December 1. How can I gently bring up how I feel to my husband? How do I tell him that I don't want him to have the vasectomy right now, that I'd like to have a third child before we take such a drastic step in birth control?

Hi. Im 22 and have been married since the start of this year. Me and my husband started to rent our own place in May and we have been struggling ever since. Im disabled so i cant work and my partner dowsn't earn that much! We have fell behind on our rent and have several final reminders for bills! I am also 10 weeks pregnant and finding everything very hard to deal with. I have been advised by my midwife that i will get help from social workers throughout my pregnancy due to my illness. So i know i will get some help from them trying to find accomodation! But this is the problem me and my husband thought that it might be an idea if we moved back in with my parents for a few months. Just untill we saved some money up and managed to get a place of our own,you know rather than getting deeper into debt and me getting stressed out,especially with the baby. We agreed that we would pay my parents rent,and i would do my fair share of things around the house! As i said it would only be for a few months! But my dad has put his foot firmly down and point blank refused! My mum would take us in, in a heartbeat! But my dad wont even listen to her or me. I cant understand why he is being like this. It would benefit everyone,and its only a short term basis not forever? Any advice. I am worried sick! xxxx Beautiful, you are. Member since: Obviously you have no idea what its like to have problems. You dont even know what kind of disabiility i have. And for your information, i cant get out the house on my own. My husband works as much as he can,he is also my carer so is restricted to what jobs he can get. I would never expect anyone including my parents to pay for me.

I've been in the marine corps for over a year now and I recently went home to see my beloved of 5 years while on christmas leave for a week. She had her period approx on the 15th and I saw her from the 22nd to the 28th of december. We had sex several times while we were together mostly protected.. We plan on getting married when I return from my deployment to japan in August. its been two weeks and I leave on the 14th on january. I know her so very very well and I wonder could I tell the signs of her being pregnant? Shes just begun to be extremely fatigued tho no signs of nausea yet. Will I know before I leave?

I've just gotten around 12-13 guppies a few weeks ago. I've just installed a heater in the fish tank yesterday afternoon, adjusted to 22 degrees. At night, I turned the heater higher, to almost 28 degrees by accident. I meant to tune it up to 24-26 degrees. I realized that my fishes aren't as active as usual. This morning, all the fishes just laid at the bottom of the fish tank. Usually, they will swim around the tank. Whenever I give them food, they'll swim upwards immediately. However, this morning when my dad fed them food, they didn't swim upwards. They just stayed at the bottom, swimming around occasionally. After my dad adjusted the temperature of the tank to 22 degrees again, the fishes started swimming at the top again. However, they don't eat any of the food. What's wrong with the fishes? After that, my dad realized the pregnant female fish had given birth and that many of the baby guppies are at the bottom of the fish tank, lying on the sand. I've scooped them out into a separate container. What do I do now? The fishes still aren't acting normal. They don't eat. How do I get them to be active again?

im 22 weeks pregnant and all i do is walk around te house and watch telly. i feel like i am being really lazy. i want to do sports or exercises that won't harm the baby. any suggestions? thanks xx get out of breath quite quickly and then my back starts to ache

I am 22 weeks pregnant. My doctor asked me to count how often baby moves during 24 hours, and also mentioned that it should be between 8-10 times a day. I dont feel baby moving that much. Mostly 2 times and sometimes whole day no movement. Should I be concerned? I will ask my doctor on jan 13th when I meet her next but I thought to check may be someone can help me here. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

1.)Your 13 years old. Your mother,Cindy Jane Montreal, and your father, Russel Gene Carver, have just gotten a divorce. You feel lonely and you are terribly upset. You cannot be alone anymore so you rush over to your boyfriend, Dillon Raymond Ceverren's house. You two end up making love. 3 weeks after this happens, you start to throw up in the morning. You freak out because you may be pregnant. You call Dillon and he takes you to the store to get a pregnancy test. (Dillon is 15) You go into the bathroom and take the test. The test says positive. You are very upset. Dillon suggests its a faulty one and that he could take you to the doctor to get a test done. He takes you in and they check. You are pregnant. You have never been more upset in your life. How will you tell your parents? They would be soooo upset. Dillon takes you home. You tell your mother, because your father has already moved out. She slaps you right across your face and calls you names that no mother should ever call their children. She makes you pack some of your stuff, and she kicks you out. She tells your father and he says he is not going to deal with you. Dillons parents understood. They were not angry. You stay at his house through your whole pregnancy. You call his parents mom and dad. Since you are very skinny, the baby will be small as the doctors tell you. They say there is barely any room in there! You give birth a week before you are due. Dillon and his mother are with you when you delive. You deliver normally.The delivery has taken a toll on your body. You are tired and run down. The baby is a beautiful little girl. She looks like you and Dillon and soo many ways. She has Dillons light blonde hair, and you deep blue eyes. She weighs in at 4 pounds 9 oz. What will you name her? 2.) You are 17 and Dillon is 19. You live with him in his 2 bedroom apartment. Your mother barely speaks to you. Dillon has his high school deploma and is taking online college to become a Mechanic. You are still attending high school and getting straight A's. You and Dillon decide you are going to have a romantic night together. Well the condom slips. You bet that you are going to get pregnant again, and you are right, You find out 2 weeks later that you are pregnant. 4 months into the pregnancy, the doctor finds another baby! You are expecting twins! You and Dillon are the happiest! At 6 months along, you are put on bed rest. You will be missing the next 4 months of school. You know you will have to take your Senior year over again and you are not happy. Your bed rest was very boring. You could barley even ever get up without Dillon yelling at you to lay down again. You know its for the best. Now your 9 months pregnant and 2 weeks over your due date. They decide that the babies cannot stay in there much longer so they induce you. You are in labor for 23 hours before you give birth. You deliver vaginally. The twins are two little girls. They look almost exactly alike. They both have light brown hair and light blue eyes. One of then is 5 pounds 13 oz and the other is 6 pounds 1 oz. What do you name them? 3.) Your now 22. Dillon is 24. Your first born little girl is 8 years old and your twin girls are 5 years old. You and Dillon plan on having one more. You and Dillon go away on a vacation to Las Vegas and you come back pregnant. You are sooo happy, and you say this is the last one. When you are 5 months pregnant, the doctor spots two other babies. He says that they are too small since he just noticed them and they most likely will be stillborn. At your 8 months check up, the doctor finds that one of the little babies has died. It was too small The doctor said by the looks of it, the only one that will survive is the baby that we first noticed through all of this and the other one will die. You give birth at 9 months, almost a week before you are do. The doctors say that you should deliver vaginally because the other little baby wouldnt survive even if they did a C-section. You sadfully agree. The first baby that comes out is the main baby, that you have noticed throughout the whole pregnancy. Its a boy! He weighs 7 pounds 1 oz. The second one that comes out is the still born that died at 8 months in the womb. It was a boy. He only weighed 1 pound 1 oz. The 3rd baby was a little girl. She only weighed 1 pound 2 oz. She died 2 hours after birth. What would you name those 3? The one that survived has dark blonde hair, almost brown. You were satisfied with him, because he is the one that you felt kick through the whole pregnancy. 4.) It's been 4 years. Your now 26 and Dillon is 28. He is now a mechanic. You first born girl is 12, your twins girls are 9, and your little boy is 4. You decide that you want to adopt from a mother who is pregnant with twins. She is Korea. When she is 8 months pregnant, you fly down to Korea with all the children and stay with her until the twins are born. 3 weeks later, she gives birth to a Boy and a Girl. The little boy
