Hi everyone... please can you give me some advice or let me know if your young and have a baby... Right.. I've been with this boy for 8 months.. on & off. We split up before xmas becos he ended up getting with someone else. I lost all contact with him and hated him for it. He was with her for about a week. After about a month I unblocked him on facebook as i wanted to look at his pics and straight away he mailed me. So from then on we have become friends again. Then we started seeing eachother again... I'm so in love with him and he said to me the reason he kept breaking up with me is bcos he fell for me so quickyl he got scared as he was with someone for years got married n had a baby with her but she ended up cheating on him then he finally fell in love again n 3 years down the line she finished it with him. He is 24 and I am 19. I no it's a big age gap but trust me we are perfect together we have such a laugh etc.. Anyway everything is fine now and we want a baby. Well i'm not entirely sure cos all it is is when he talks to other girls I get so jealous and he cant blame me cos of how he has been in the past n i think about him with the girl he left me and it makes me feel sick cos alittle while back she made out she was pregnant she werent tho shes just sick in the head. But me and him both have loving families.. good jobs.. both drive etc it wud be perfect.. it's just It's scary as this baby wud be apart of my life for good and i dont want to regret it. Sometimes he makes me feel useless. As he is older and has moved out knows how to cook etc i tried cooking a pancake lol and he jsut took the piss so i thought what if im changing the baby or feeding it and he judges me over that cos where he has had experience with it all before with his little boy. but then i spose it all comes naturally. I've never had a problem with him being married they have been split up a long long time and she is deffo not his type now. It's just the thought that he committed to someone like that n imaginging him saying his vows to her makes me feel sick and he has sed e wud never get married again n even tho i've not been the type of girl to want to get married i just was hoping he wud want to marry me. He's mature but immature int he way he is with girls he needs to grow up . Sorry to blab on guys just need some opinions im a bit stuck. I know my mum wud be so upset if i got pregnant but deep down she wud be excited. Im just so confused with what to do, and so scared that when i have this baby if he gets bored or likes someone else he thinks he can just leave me. :-( xx

I keep looking at these "belly pics" on web sites to compare mine to others and it seems like i am not showing at all. I know everyone is different, but when did u start to show where other people could tell you were pregnant? Thanks:)

ok im a teenage girl and there are a lot of people from my school that have been getting pregnant, i was just on myspace looking at this girls pics of her being pregnant and guess what...shes only 16 and a sophomore! guess how far along she is, shes 38 weeks pregnant. its crazy how everyone thinks its so freakin awesome to have a baby, idk why they think this because its not cool at all its actually kinda scary i mean you have to take care of a baby 24/7 and your still in highschool! thats way too much responsibility having a baby and having to take care of it financially is just a lot to have on your shoulders especially when you're still in school! yeah well idk i mean thats just my opinion.. you can post your opinion below if you want i just wanted people to maybe see this and just open their damn eyes

Any gender neutral nursery colour/ theme/ other ideas? I am 24 weeks pregnant and am waiting to find out the sex. I am anxious to start decorating and furnishing the nursery but I'm not sure what I should do while keeping it neutral. Anybody have any pics of their nursery to post, neutral or not??? I would like to do something other than just paint it all yellow or green.

ok i'll be 18 in a week and im 30 weeks pregnant my cousin is 24 and has a 4 year old. when we were kids she would run over me just because seh was older, now she cant run over me. but sometimes i would feel like she was just jealous since theres a big age difference i cant figure out wahts her motive to a lot of things. well before my whole family knew i was pregnant i told her and she told my aunt but she doesnt know my aunt came back telling my mom she told her and it made me mad because even though everyone would find out she basically told and didnt tell me she told and i felt like that was sneaky in a way, because she acted cool like she didnt tell anyone and didnt know i knew she really did. then on top of that she is very nosey and she knows my babys father takes me to all my appointments and anywhere i need to go and we hang out and he is being a father.so she found pics of his family on facebook and asked how did i like his people and i told i like them and there nice. then seh founda pic of his aunt and i had to tell her that she married his uncle.she wanted to know how long they've been married and how old his uncle is. i felt like that was being too nosey. sometimes i would wear outfits and really liked them and she'd be around my other cousins and pointed stuff out about it and it would hurt my feelings.(you know how it feels when you wear something you really like) and im the youngest of my grandparents grandchildren so when she made fun of it i didnt like it. i dont see how she could be jealous because she has a apartment with her mom,wears nice clothes,keeps her hair done and has a job. things that i want. but her babys father has never been around, was a drug dealer and has been serving time since her child was born. that could give her a reason to be jealous but im sure though.i just dont like how she ask so many questions and i think she'd love to hear about anything bad that goes on with me. because she'll get on myspace through her sisters page and everytime i write a mean status she'll try to find out what has me mad but i wont tell her just because she has told something once and i know she'll do it again.

So last night I was sitting in bed watching a movie, and I felt the baby move and felt an almost sharp pain, it was inside, and low, like around my cervix. It didnt last long, but felt uncomfortable. Then ever since then, I am feeling some pain with movement, though sometimes without, and it feels like ligament pain almsot. It is in the groin area at times but mostly on my left side of my abdominal area. I have been taking pics of my belly since 24 weeks and it has really grown in that time. I know the baby must have had a growth spurt because I feel movement a lot more than before now, and sometimes it is constant for hours. It is sunday now, and I dont live anywhere near a hospital because I am in a very rural area. But I was going to call my OBGYN tomorrow anyway, but I am just curious as to whether this is normal or not? I know major pain isnt but I have heard of pain like this occuring at times. Almost 2 months ago the baby moved in a weird position, and I got a stragne pain but it was the same, it didnt last, and I think it was the baby turning and part of its body "dragging" on the inside of my belly. This pain I felt last night was similar, just in a different sopt. Also, me and my botfriend had sex yesterday in a position we didnt use since I got pregnant and I orgasmed a lot better than I have since getting pregnant. Could this have contributed to it? It was great, but I am too scared to do it like that again in case it causes a problem with the baby.

Ok I have no idea when I conceived. According to the Dr i am due Jan 24th 2010. I have always had irregular periods and honestly was told that I could never have kids. Wonderful surprise when I ended up pregnant :-) anyways I will be 7 months on Sunday. Everyone that I see who asks me when I am due cannot believe that I still have 2 1/2 months left because I am HUGE! I have been asked by many many people if I am having twins which I am not according to the dr :-). I had a scan at 19 weeks and the baby was measuring almost 23 weeks then. The dr didn't say anything I just saw the measurements on my cd he gave me with the pics! I dont even go back to the Dr until I am 31 weeks along. I dont know what to think. Everyone says that either I am further along or I am gonna have a HUGE baby. btw its pretty much just my tummy that has gotten big. I can still fit in my pre-pregnancy jeans around my waist. I have gained like 22 pounds so far! I was just wondering if you all had Any thoughts???

Posting pics is optional it's just for fun. Please don't report cause I'm really interested in what people say, thanks! 1. You and your husband _______ are 24, and two great dogs which are like kids to you. They are male and female, what are the breeds and names? You two live in a small apartment but are tying to get a big house to one day start a family, what city do you want to move to? 2. At 25 you find out you are pregnant! It's going to be a tight space but you are really happy. It is a boy and he looks just like your boyfriend. Give him the same initial first name as your husband, middle name starts with J. 3. 6 months later you all move into your dream home, describe it or paste a photo. There is plenty of room to have more kids and nine months later give birth to not one but three kids! 2 girls and one boy. The two girls are extremely close and have the same first name initials. Middle names have to do with times (months of the year, days of the week, Eve, etc), your boys first name somehow matches his brothers (can mean the same thing, start with the same thing, etc), his middle name is your fathers first name. 4. 2 girls and 2 boys are perfect, but the oldest is 5 and the triplets are 4 now, you really want another kid. At the risk of not getting multiples again you decide to adopt a 3 year old girl from a foster home in the U.S. Her first name is Alexandra, no middle name. She really loves animals and wants some type of animal as a middle name. What do you call her? 5. You definitely feel done having kids, and 4 years later they are all in sports and after school activities. Your oldest son is 9, triplets 8, adopted girl is 7. List at least one sport or one after school activity for each of them. 6. The two dogs you have are starting to get old, and you are really worried. In the middle of it all you accidentally find you are pregnant again! It's twins, a boy and girl. Name them your favorite names ever, middle names are after the two dogs. 7. OPTIONAL: The two dogs end up living forever (lol) and your kids are all grown up and have jobs of their own. The twins however are still in college. List the grandkids and jobs of the older kids, for the twins list their majors in college. Hope you had fun!

Four days ago is when the major abuse started.My baby's father had a sister who is 24 and she is not his blood sister she is his sister by marriage,(I'm 23 and he is 25 we have been together for 9 years)who also has a son and she came to our home because she supposedly had no where to go.Previously she'd come and visit on weekends because she showed interest in one of my b/f friends.She bought him over unannounced or didn't ask of my approval and would have sex in my home with the guy,I've even caught them fooling around in the same room as her son while he pretended to be asleep.This guy got underneath my skin I did not care for such a waste because he is an active gang member and he's very disrespectful,so I stressed to her over 8 times to not bring him over,but she defied my request,so that started my feelings towards not wanting her in our home.Then on more than several occasions I witnessed her slapping,beating,punching her son and also calling him names and referring to him as a "homo,a fag" in those exact words keeping in mind that this child is only 6 years old,stating that that is how she chastises her son and no one is to tell her how to raise her son.This is the second reason why I didn't want her in our home.I informed my b/f of the abuse and told him that I was going to report her to child services.He said "No! You best not do that." I said,"why not she's beating her child" but he just ignored me and said that I will be kicked out if I do,so I did not report it.Okay so now it's been 3 weeks that she has been at our home.I am a very clean person so I kept our home clean but his sister is so dirty she never cleaned after herself and so that was the third reason why I didn't want her in our home.So I complained about her abusiveness,cleanliness,and respect level in our household but continued to get ignored.So 2 days ago I got fed up I told him it's either me or her she is a total mess!He said I'm not kicking her out so you can do whatever the answer is no keep in mind I'm 5 months pregnant.I said okay give me my belongings he did not want to give them to me so I reached for my keys and he pushed me.I then went to the living room where he ran and where his sister was and he still refused so I said to him "If i were you I'd tell your family to leave for now,this is personal."His sister got in my face called me a bitch and said "I don't give a damn about about a baby" and was trying to attack me.My b/f was restraining me/holding me down and bruising my arms because I was trying to defend my baby and I while she is still swinging and hitting me.I then got free and went for my purse(which has my meds/insulin)and keys but he grabbed me shuck me up against the wall and attempted to put me in a sleeper hold i still tried to get my purse/keys to leave but he wouldn't allow me to so he then pulled me by my ankles dragging me out of the door and locked me out with no shoes no keys nothing.He ignored my pleading of asking for my meds/keys.So the cops came he refused to open the door so they busted the door open arrested him because they saw bruises and scratches all over my body and took pics,and after that I was able to get my things.Nothing happened to his step sister but I am thinking about reporting her for child abuse do you think I should?I am so afraid I have no money,no shelter no support at all.He's still in jail while she lives at what used to be my home.What should I do?Should I press charges against them?I've never gone through this I am scared.Does anyone know of any places that can help abused pregnant women? :( Help me...please No the home is in his name.I have no problem with never going back and leaving because it's too painful to suffer ever again. :(

well i dnt even look huge im really small everyone keeps telling me that my baby is going to be small bcus i dnt loook like im pregnant lol does anyone know if this is normal or have pics of themselves or would just like to be friends and talk add me to my messenger its Tu_bebechula1562@msn.com im due december 18 thank you

1. Your name is _______ and you have just turned 24. You are dating _______ and he/she finally proposes! You have only been dating him for a short time so you don't give him an answer yet. A week later though you find out you are pregnant with a little girl! When she is older she is extremely girly and loves getting into mommy's make up. Both first and middle names must be girly and feminine, nothing unisex. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8683728 2. You love being a mom, your girl is 2 years old, and you have decided the father is great. You go ahead and have your dream wedding. Where is it and is it big or small? ( put a pic only if you want to). 3. You vacation to Hawaii for your honeymoon, and low and behold you find you are pregnant again! With fraternal twin boys! Their first names can NOT be matching, middle names must be Hawaiian. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7624332 4. Your girly girl is now 6, twin boys now in pre-school. In their class theres a quiet little girl who seems troubled. You find out she is living in a foster home. You can't help but want to adopt her. Her first name is Summer, but you move it to the middle name. You choose a first name that is very meaningful and special to you. Adopted Girl http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9332305 5. Three years later your oldest is 9, twin boys and adopted girl 7 years old. You feel your family is nice and even, and are relieved to be done changing diapers, until one day you feel that pregnant feeling. And you can't believe it, its triplets! 2 boys and a girl! First names all have to be the same letter, you favorite letter. One boys middle name has to do with fall, the other boys has to be some form of dads name, and girls middle name anything you want. Here are their pics: Fall themed boy: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8202456 Just like dad: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8494857 Little girl: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8694043 Sorry if this is way too long LOL, i got really inspired by the photos. Any suggestions or star if you like it would be great :)

I love seeing belly pics. Pregnant women are so cute. 10 points to the cutest belly. =) Here is me at 23 weeks (accidentally saved as 24 weeks, I keep getting ahead of myself lol): http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc244/stonedfox388/24weeks1.jpg Bonus question: How far along do I look? (I know you know how far along I am, just wondering if I appear over or under 23 weeks.) Pre-pregnancy, I weighed 112 lbs and now I weigh 126. Is that too much weight gain?

Im only 20 weeks in this picture... http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/321... In this one I am 24 weeks along... http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/321... This one...ONLY 15 weeks! http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/321... This is my first pregnancy...I started off weighing 129 lbs..I am now up to 160. Theres been days where I wake up and my hands are swollen to the point where I cant grip anything. My feet hardly fit in my shoes..and the arch of my right foot hurts sooo bad when I walk. Ive expressed this to my doc but he seems to think everything is normal. Yesterday, I was at the mall..and another pregnant woman asked me how far along I was..when i told her 25 weeks...she looked so amazed. She said she was 37 weeks along...I was much bigger than she was! She said you must be retaining alot of water or something. It just worries me....I know thats not good to be retaining to much water..I dont want it to lead to preclampsia, etc. But my doc doesnt seem concerned. How do I know if im retaining TO MUCH water? Am I okay? From the very first month of me finding out i was pregnant..you could immediatly tell...and I now look MUCH farther along than I am! http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/3217445/9159792/367394716.jpg http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/3217445/9159792/367394713.jpg http://pic15.picturetrail.com/VOL584/3217445/9159792/367394715.jpg

here is mine.... http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii12/jenniferpina/24weeks.jpg http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii12/jenniferpina/24weeks2.jpg do you think i am showing too much for 24 weeks? did your belly look anything like mine? please share your pics if you have any :) oh and just for fun try to guess if i am having a girl or a boy. i will tell you guys at the end what it is :)

I'm 24 weeks pregnant. I am carrying my baby pretty low. he/she doesnt really feel low (i do notice lots of movement above my belly button) but from the outside my belly just drops low down. I heard that if u carry low its a boy and high its a girl. Everhwere I read on forums, blogs, google etc when women say they are carrying low it is ALWAYS boy. i always see pics of high bellies and the ladies having girls. So is this true? did this myth hold true for you? Do any of u have a pic posted that ur carrying low or high? I'm just very anxious and until i find out the sex i wanna know =)

Sorry, this is long but there are so many problems and I dont know who else to ask!!! Well, it really my mother and father-in-law, but my MIL is the worst. She has never been happy we are together. My husband was previously married for 3 months, but she cheated on him. My MIL worked w/ her and was BF. That was just added to the list of dissapointments my husband has bestowed upon her. She belittles him and tells him he has made so many mistakes in his life. He basically feels like crap after talking to them. With both of us, there are these long ackward pauses in conversation. No matter how many times we change the subject, she always brings it back to something negative. My Father-In-Law got kicked out of the Navy when my husband was a baby. He was and alcholic, but know says he has it under control and has a beer every night. I personally dont think that is right. They wanted my husband to join the army, but he opted not to..another dissapoitment. I meet my husband while we were both working at a mortgage company. My future MIL said I was not welcome in there home and we would "Have to have 20 kids" before she would meet me. My husband once a week went accross town (1 hr drive each way) for dinner. He was torn because it was still his family and he has 2 young sisters. Fast-Forward 1 1/2 yrs and we are living together and engaged. They realize I am not going away. I begin to come to dinner, but it is never enough. The only day they are "available for us to come over is Friday and we get off of work at 6...add traffic and we are there at 8 and get the complaints of why so late. They WILL NOT come to us. Add the ackward conversation, which is weird for me because I usually get along w/ everyone and they make both of us so uncomfortable. My husband says it has always been that way (nothing to say). I later got laid off from mortgage, but my husband thankfully had his job. However, we knew the large company was going under and no one would soon have a job. We lived in Florida and I my husband always said he had been telling his parents for years he wanted to move someplace seasonal. I was never fond of Fla either. So, we went for it. He used his contacts and got a GREAT job paying more money where houses were cheaper. The area had everything we were looking for. I am to blame for taking her son away. Now its "You dont care about us" "We never hear from you" (He calls once a week on Sunday to hear all this) My husband has twice laid it out and said it has to stop, especially constantly putting down me. "You dont know what its like to have a daughter-in-law that hates you" I have never even raised my voice to her! My fault is I hate to talk to her on the phone and usually leave the conversation to him. I am now 6 months pregnant and we are estatic, but cant tell if his parents even care. He brings up what is going on to no response and those ackward pauses. Then out of nowhere "You dont tell us anything!" My husband call to say "It's a Boy" but gets 10 minutes of arguing about "You dont care about us" We send the ultrasound pics, no response. 3 weeks later "Are you ever going to send pictures of your wife, since we cant see you" I have also tried to feel the pauses with questions like "My mom wants to be called Nana. What about you?" Response: "Thats a stupid question he wont even be talking for a year after he is born!" They came out for one visit only 2 months after we moved, so we said, ok its because they miss there son. They were horrible, rude, messy. Not to mention 24/7 of sitting on the couch w/ those pauses. We were up and dressed by 9 every morning...them at 7. It was "we could get more done if you every got out of bed. With the baby, they say they dont know if they will be able to make it out! The most we have gotten out of them is "I didnt want to be a grandparent until I was 50." (There 48 & 49). I DO NOT want my child to constantly hear us being put down by his parents! Im sure they will have strong views on parenting. For instance, if my husband wasnt up by 7am on Sat when he was little, his dad would throw him in the pool! Silverware had to put face down, crossed on the center of your plate after dinner and immediatley taken to the dishwasher. If not, this is bad manners and no dinner the next night! If we do not call by 8am on birthday, xmas, ect...trouble! If they are out of control now, even though we have talked to them, How do we deal with them in the future and w/ our child. My husband dreads talking to them/visits as much as me!

Add the ackward conversation, which is weird for me because I usually get along w/ everyone and they make both of us so uncomfortable. My husband says it has always been that way (nothing to say). I later got laid off from mortgage, but my husband thankfully had his job. However, we knew the large company was going under and no one would soon have a job. We lived in Florida and I my husband always said he had been telling his parents for years he wanted to move someplace seasonal. I was never fond of Fla either. So, we went for it. He used his contacts and got a GREAT job paying more money where houses were cheaper. The area had everything we were looking for. I am to blame for taking her son away. Now its "You dont care about us" "We never hear from you" (He calls once a week on Sunday to hear all this) My husband has twice laid it out and said it has to stop, especially constantly putting down me. "You dont know what its like to have a daughter-in-law that hates you" I have never even raised my voice to her! My fault is I hate to talk to her on the phone and usually leave the conversation to him. I am now 6 months pregnant and we are estatic, but cant tell if his parents even care. He brings up what is going on to no response and those ackward pauses. Then out of nowhere "You dont tell us anything!" My husband call to say "It's a Boy" but gets 10 minutes of arguing about "You dont care about us" We send the ultrasound pics, no response. 3 weeks later "Are you ever going to send pictures of your wife, since we cant see you" I have also tried to feel the pauses with questions like "My mom wants to be called Nana. What about you?" Response: "Thats a stupid question he wont even be talking for a year after he is born!" They came out for one visit only 2 months after we moved, so we said, ok its because they miss there son. They were horrible, rude, messy. Not to mention 24/7 of sitting on the couch w/ those pauses. We were up and dressed by 9 every morning...them at 7. It was "we could get more done if you every got out of bed. With the baby, they say they dont know if they will be able to make it out! The most we have gotten out of them is "I didnt want to be a grandparent until I was 50." (There 48 & 49). I DO NOT want my child to constantly hear us being put down by his parents! Im sure they will have strong views on parenting. For instance, if my husband wasnt up by 7am on Sat when he was little, his dad would throw him in the pool! Silverware had to put face down, crossed on the center of your plate after dinner and immediatley taken to the dishwasher. If not, this is bad manners and no dinner the next night! If we do not call by 8am on birthday, xmas, ect...trouble! If they are out of control now, even though we have talked to them, How do we deal with them in the future and w/ our child. My husband dreads talking to them/visits as much as me!

For about 5 months my fiance and I have been very sexually active, not ttc or anything, but we haven't used protection since we got engaged and I know that he comes inside of me. And I'm not coo-coo about being pregnant or anything but this past 2 months, my body has been doing the wierdest things and now it's a thought that stays on my mind. For instance, the first sign that triggerd the whole pregnancy thought was one day when I was spraying hairspray on my hair and the smell literally made me run to the bathroom, I was 100% postive I was about the throw up, but I never did, from that day on I've get nausea (something I never get) off and on since then, also I get these little headaches that come out of no where so often, some days I just feel sick to my stomach and I get lightheaded when I stand up when I've ben sitting or laying down for some time, I SLEEP 24/7! I go to bed at about 1 am and wake up about 3 pm the next day STILL tired and yawning all throughout the day, also, i've been having this white discharge, no scent, but it's a great amount daily for almost two months now. But the thing is my got my last two 'periods' but the last one was very very wierd, it started out as spotting then got normal then after two days it stopped, skipped a day, then started again and lasted another two days. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I always have straight through 5 day periods, I can always tell when I'm about to start, but this last period came ONE WEEK late. I decided not to test because well, I got my period. Then me and my girlfriend was having a talk about it, and she informed me there may still be a chance that I could be pregnant seeing that she had her 'period' the first 4 months of her pregnancy. I jus find it very unusual that all this wierd things are happening to me now when they've NEVER happened before. I even had a dream and saw a pos. HPT. Well I put the pregnancy thoughts out of my head for about two weeks until last night, I went to a poetry show and someone asked me, how far along I was! My stomach has been SOOOOO bloated for the past 2 months, I have NEVER IN MY LIFE been so bloated and gassy! Some days, I burp all through out the day, again, this is very UNUSUAL and has never happened to me before. I look like I could be about 4 months pregnant, esp at the end of the day, in the morning it goes down but it still noticeable. You can view the pics by clicking the links(: End of the day 'bloating'. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/babygurll200/1-5.png When I suck in http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/babygurll200/2-5.png In the morning when I wake up. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y126/babygurll200/3-4.png Like I've said before i've been bloated before but NEVER in my life have I been this bloated (picture 1) that my stomach would be this big. As you can see it starts at the pubic area, even ave creases there now, all this is just so wierd to me, and it 's been this way for about 2 months now. Only thing I've read about but haven't gotten are sore breast, my breast feel normal. They were sore for about 2 days but then they went away and never came back since. The reason I have not tested yet, is because I have gotten what seems to be a wierd 'period', and I'm waiting to see if I will recieve AF this month. I've been online researching and getting educated on this but I just want to know if anyone has been in his particular situation and what was the outcome. Or just anyone's opinions on this. I would really apreciate it (: And another question. and I stil test even though I got this 'period' about 2 weeks ago? Will the test be accurate? What do you think? Serious mature answers please and thank you(:

My mum died when i was 4 and i have never really had a relationship with my dad but he has now died too. im 24 and 16 weeks pregnant, i am moving out in 5 months anyway but im living with my nan and grandad. They are olsd and set in thier ways but we always argue. My nan does not ever talk to me about problems even when i have tried to confront her hundreds of times, including letters and talking to other members of the fam. she always has something bad to say about me. i live in my room and dont really go down stairs as when i do we just argue or its a really alkward silance. i am angry that she bought me up. i understand why she did but i have 5 auntiesa that all asked to take me on as a child but she never wanted the help , i have been the 1 that has sufferd as a result of the age gap. im greatfull for them both and they have done so much for me but there is so much im angry about which is meant to be teenage stuff but its not going away. she never gave me pics or my mum and never talked about her, she wouldnt tell me where she was cremated and i had to find out for myself. i dont want to carry this on when i move out but i dont no how to sort it out.

Does everything look normal? I think it does, especially the baby, but I still feel my stomach is "squishy" on bottom and hard on top-normal? I feel him move regularly, but some days his pattern is different than what I'm use too...I had sex for the 1st time in 21/2 months last night and now am worried I hurt the baby :( I've been avoiding it b/c I'm afraid of hurting him...thanks to all for the reassurance! What do you think?? pics: My belly at 22w5d [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/100_2046-1.jpg[/IMG] My belly at 23w2d [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/belly.jpg[/IMG] My baby boy at 22w1d-last ultrasound done [IMG]http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/BABY6-26-08_4.jpg[/IMG] OH, btw, this is my second pregnancy...hence the previous stretch marks...could explain the "sag" and "squishyness" at the bottom, lol Hmmm...links not "clickable" sorry...let me try this... 1st pic: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/100_2046-1.jpg 2nd pic: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/belly.jpg 3rd pic: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff144/forkizoodle/BABY6-26-08_4.jpg ok, adding more details to answer the question "are you saying you didn't have sex with your 1st" actually, surprisingly we had sex ALL of the time, like freaking rabbits, lol...so why am I so paranoid this time, I have NO clue! We have been trying for over 2 years to have our second child-maybe that's why the worry...don't know?

Grrr I HATE that comment! I'm 31 weeks and 3 days pregnant now and yes I was teensy before (5'7, 102 pounds 24 years old), I probably look a little awkward because I am still little everywhere else except with a 35 pound hard belly that moves lol. But a lot of people (including family members who have seen the sonogram pics) keep asking me if I am "sure its not twins and one of them is hiding) I am %100 sure but they will still ask! And they keep saying I am 2 big already and they are making bets that the baby will come mid-August. Aaaand they keep asking me if I am positive its a boy because my fiances brother had a girl and girls run in the family (my sister had twin boys). I know they say you cant be 100 percent sure until he comes but I promise my son was not modest at all when I had my 20 week scan. He is most definately a boy! I makes me so mad, I keep telling them over and over and they still keep harassing me. I dont know what to do to make them stop I guess they like think its funny to make me feel "too big for 31 weeks" and like they know better then myself and my doctor and still think I'm having a girl. It is way to clear to not know its a boy which I have showed them all everytime they make that comment. They just do it to mess with me. Anyone else get comments like this from family? It sure would make me feel better to know i am not the only one who feels picked on for being pregnant. and yes my husband tries to defend me 2 but some people are just plain rude. Sorry but I got to get picked on all 4th of July weekend and I am feeling a little hurt and a little 2 "messed with" I can take jokes but not ones that doubt my doctor being SURE that its definately a boy and that they gotta make me feel so HUGE. Its like I dont even want to eat around them anymore LOL and want to wear baggy shirts to look not so pregnant.

women look like at this stage that are the same size as i'am where can i find some pics online i'am 5'3 and weigh 162 pounds.

I have gained 20lbs, but to other people I don't think I look pregnant the pics I have seen of other women 24 weeks along are a lot bigger than me....I am worried any advice to help me out! Thanks in advance!

I'm an 18 year old (I hope) healthy guy. I've always been like this, but lately it's been starting to bug me a lot... My stomach sort of sticks out and I look semi-pregnant. I have gotten so used to holding my stomach in that I do it 24/7, out of habit. -I have 6 pack abs, and even THEY stick out with the rest of my belly (fat behind the muscles, maybe?) -I am a skateboarder and go skateboarding several days a week, which counts as cardio, IMO -My dad (and i THINK my grandfather) is exactly the same way, so genetic, maybe? -Even when I flex my abs, they stick out and although they are flat they stick out to the same level as my chest muscles (see pictures below) Please help me out, as when I wear a shirt I look like I'm chubby with small arms and it's very embarrassing. Here are pics to help you out...sorry for bad quality but hopefully they can help. http://i29.tinypic.com/21l4ci0.jpg http://i32.tinypic.com/el9zfd.jpg http://i30.tinypic.com/2jea9g2.jpg --Correction, I don't suck my abs in 24/7, I flex them 24/7 so they go flat.

ok a friend had an ultrasound when she was 6 weeks... internal.. and had one at 15 weeks... she is now 24 weeks and gained lots of weight twins are common in both familes now my question is can she be having twins and the tech just not seen?.. they dint move the ultrasound much she kept it at the bottom and just took like 8 pics and that was it... my friend was 90lbs before she got pregnant and is now 123.. yes she is active and eating right... will she get another u/s the last one she got the tech said the baby was the right size.. so why would she be so big?

I got the sweetest email today from my friend who sent something that read how to go on through the week. The email showed pictures of a little baby sucking on her toe to show that she can do whatever she wants when she wants to., there was a pic of two babies hugging each other, one was sleeping like an angel, one was a picture of a baby frowning and the other of her getting angry and the caption was saying what each baby was doing. It was cute. Anyway so I saw it and I am a first time pregnant mom at 24 weeks. The email touched me so I sent it to some of my friends who are new parents with their babies or who are also pregnant like me. and in the email I said....I hope this will touch the heart's of all the Moms and Dads. You think it was fine for me to say that? I mean it was cute and all with the babies innocent pics. Or was the email more for grown ups to compare their weeks to kids? I hope my sending it to moms and dads would really touch there hearts. You think it did?
