I am nearly 25 weeks pregnant with my first child- due in July this year. Found out that we were having a boy :) and have decided on the name Leon. We have several ideas for a middle name but are keeping it under wraps until he pops out into the world :) So just wanted to ask what you all think of the name we have chosen? ( This is for opinions ONLY not other suggestions as Leon is what we have decided to call our son) Thanks xxxx

I was about 14 or 15 weeks when I got gel nails put on. I left them on til about I was 25 almost 26 weeks pregnant because then they started chipping and I would get cuts from them and it really hurt. So, I went to the salon and they gave me a bottle of acetone (The stuff in nail polish remover) and told me since I'm pregnant to use that because it's not as strong as the stuff the salon has. I was told to soak my nails but ended up getting some skin in it too. I never soaked my nails for even 5 minutes at a time. I was exposed to it for an hour or so but I was outside and couldn't smell anything. Could this of harmed my baby? Did you ever get your nails during pregnancy? Did they ever have to take them off with things like acetone?

Ok first I want to say I know that you all aren't pregnancy tests, but I assume you guys have had more experience than I, so I would just like some feedback please. Well an ex-fiance and I had been trying to conceive for a little over a year and nothing happened. I think I had a miscarriage once though. (maybe nothing happened because we didn't try for a year straight, it was always off and on. We lived in apart for a long time). My periods have always been whacked up, sometimes I get them (ince in a while) 2 times in a month. Sometimes I spot or have pinkish bleeding between periods, not often though. My period has come early before, (I usually have a 25-28 day cycle, closer to 26) but NEVER late except for one time. Last August when I was more than a whole week late! I knew I must've been pregnant, but I took a hpt and got a bfn and then a week later got my period (which wasn't heavy like it usually is). So that was that. I am with my bf now, and we had unprotected sex in early feb all the way up to the teens, no later than feb 12. I got my period feb 19 (well it just spotted for 2 days, like i didn't even need a pad) then it got a little heavier to where I put in a pad, and the cramps were there too, but again it wasn't really heavy. Well, I have been tracking my period and according to a 26 day cycle (starting with the day I spotted feb.19) then I should have gotten my period yesterday. I have had light cramps, LOTS of gassy feelings that aren't even in my stomach they are like way below my stomach (feels like gas in my uterus but i don't even know if that's possible). I've been very tired, almost didn't make it to my class today. And last week, I was running on the treadmill, when I got off I just about vomited right there in the gym! I had to run to the bathroom and lay down on the cold tile for 15 minutes to calm the dizziness and nausea. Also, I haven't been too hungry lately (and my gums were hurting the other day). So, if you have taken the time to read all this (sorry it's so long, I wanted to be as detailed as possible) please give me some feedback. What do you think? Any experience with any of this? I appreciate all comments, if I don't get AF in 2 days I will take a hpt. Oh,and I posted earlier but only got a few responses, so was just looking for a little more feedback, thanx!

Ok so I have the worst pain ever I have a tooth ache. I get it taken out on Monday. The ones I have say to take 2 tablets of 500 mg every six hours but what if I take I tablet every 3 hours? That would be 500 mg every 3 hours in stead of 1000 mg at once every 6 hours. Would that be fine?

About 2 weeks ago, I had an attack that started in my upper abdomen radiating into my chest, It happened at 4:00 inthe morning and I thought I was going into labor, it hurt so bad, it took my bretah away and I started throwing up. I was rushed to the hospital where they said I had sludge in my gallbladder but the baby was okay. They told me to start a lowfat diet and drink plenty of water which I have been doing. i have not had anymore pain in my upper abdomen, but for the last week I have been having severe pain in my lower right back. It hurts so bad i can barely stand up and have to stop whatever I am doing and lay down and that rarely helps. It usually last about an hour. My nurse said that it was normal pain and that it was probbaly my uterus stretching or where the baby was laying, but another nurse that I work with said it sounded like gallbladder problems to her. Now I am very scared that it could be my gallbladder getting worse. I have not been running a fever or anything and my urine or bowels have no changed but the pain is unbelievable. Has this happened to anyone else and is this normal for 25 weeks or does it sound like gallbladder problems again?

I am 24 years old and my husband is 25, and we finally got pregnant after trying for about 19 months. I miscarried at 8.5 weeks. We know we want to have a family still but I was considering putting off trying again so I can return to college. Is putting off TTC for 2-4 years a bad idea? It will take another 2 years for my associates degree and 2 more years thereafter to get my bachelors degree. What would you do in this situation? Would TTC at age 30 or so be that bad, or would it be even better then? Has anyone every been in the situation or has anyone had kids in their 30's??? what are you experiences? I would be happy to just be a mom, that's what the original plan was, but with losing the baby thoughts rolled in my mind about college. I just don't want to put it off then not be able to have kids later on.

Hey im 5months pregnant with my second baby, with my first i didnt experience this is this normal i started having perioud like cramps then about 30mins later started having sharp stabbing pains in my back on my right side then noticed i was getting sharp pains shooting from under my belly button to my vagina!!!! Can anyone tell me if this is normal. my next doctors apt is next week on the 25th will i be fine untill then???? It seemed to have stopped but my stomach just feels really nautious now?

I am 25 weeks pregnant. I walk every day for exercise and after about 30 minutes it starts to get very uncomfortable to walk. Am I doing too much? I've always taken long walks outside.

To day I went to the dentist and got 2 of my teeth fixed when they numed or tried to numb one of my teeth after they pulled the kneedle out I all of a sudden felt really dizzy and my heart started to pund really fast I got so scared. The dude said I was just nervous and I wasn't at all and that, that's why I got dizzy but I was like no I wasn't at all!. Why could that have happened? Ok so that really wasn't my first question lol sorry! Any ways I didn't even get numed so he did it again only with something else and I still could feel pain when he was working on my tooth any ways he had to numb me 6 TIMES! After the 3rd time I told him no more! But he told me not to worrie that nothing would happen. I just felt so weird an not good I got 3 contracions while they where working on me. Could that stuff that they used to numb me harm my bab? And did it cause the contractions? I am 25 weeks 4 days. They did it 6 times because I could still feel pain when they were working on both teeth 3 on left side and 3 times on the right side and still after the 6th time I still felt pain only I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get numbed for the 7th time

i'm 25 weeks pregnant and went to the doctor today and yes i took a pain pill yesterday i know wasn't smart or healthy but it was a long story please don't judge just answer the question k ;) any ways it was a +1 protien

I take a low dose of Lorazepam (25 mg I think) once a day to help me sleep. My period is about a week late, but I haven't tested for pregnancy yet (will do soon if it doesn't show up). I'm worried that if in fact I am pregnant, I have been on Lorazepam which I've heard can cause birth defects. I've stopped taking it in the meantime just as a precaution. Should I be worried? I can't stop stressing out that I've caused harm to my (potential) baby? The stress is killing me, and I can't even take a Lorazepam to calm my nerves! Aghhh. Oops. It might be .25 mg... either way, my doctor said it was the lowest dose available.

What was the worst part for you? Contractions? Crowing or "Ring of Fire"? Also how did you feel from 8cm to 10cm? I am asking this not because I am planning a natural birth but because I am a little worried my second labor will go fast! I know that all pregnancies and labors are different. My first was a fairly easy labor and delivery. I am 25 weeks pregnant with my second. At 40 weeks 1 day I woke up at 5am in horrible pain. That pain was my contractions (which felt nothing like my doctor or other moms described them to be) They were already 5 minutes apart. We got to the hospital by 7am and I was 6cm dilated. By 9:30 I requested an epidural and at that time I was 8cm. I was not able to talk thru my contractions any longer, they were 3 minutes apart lasting 90 seconds but not fully going away. The epidural slowed my labor and they started pitocin. At 10:30 my contractions had not started back up so my doctor broke my water, I was 10cm by noon. My little one hadn't dropped yet so the nurse let my contractions push her down since I could not feel anything. At 1:45pm I felt a lot of pressure, the nurse checked me and I was ready to push! I delivered my daughter at 2:05pm. Some moms I have recently talked to said that they think my labor will most likely be very quick, that I may not have time for an epidural and since I made it to 8cm on my own with not pain medication then I could probably do it naturally. I am nervous for this because it is "unknown" and I remember how much pain I was in at 8cm. I have asked this question before....but I like the answerer's I get! I just like to her from different moms!

My ex & i had huuge fallingout when i got pregnant...is sending him a picture of the ultrasound a good or bad idea? We had a huge fight and haven't really talked at all....we dated for 2 1/2 years before this happened. i switched pill brands and didn't wait long enough so it was an accident. he is absolutely furious because he thinks i "did this on purpose." his birthday is coming up in the next couple weeks...do you think it'd be a good or bad idea to email him a pic of the ultrasound and a small message saying happy birthday? or is that wayy too creepy & he can get ahold of me if he wants to? we're both 25. he assumed i would get an abortion&was furious when i didn't get one :( i asked this once in the preg section once &only under this name so STFU or don't answer the question jerk

I'll be 12 weeks on Saturday and I'm nervous for a stupid reason I'm sure... I am about 175 lbs and 5'3 1/2" so I'm not the smallest girl in the world, but I'm not fat. I'm scared I won't get a noticable nice sized bump until I'm about 8 months or so because of this. I'll be 25-27 weeks when I fly out to go and see my family and I'm scared I won't even look pregnant. Does anyone have stories to share or any advice or anything that would be helpful to me? I just wish I could look as great as I feel. I feel good and I feel pregnant, but I'm just scared I'll never look it.

im 25 weeks pregnant right now & i know it's kind of early to be thinking about this but im just wondering what is the best way to not get pregnant after giving birth. I was on birth control & that worked pretty good till me & my husband planned on having a baby, i heard about mirena & the shot, so what is the best?

I've never been much of a drinker. I used to go to the bar or to a party just to socialize, but i'd have like one drink and call it quits. I haven't been to the bar since before i found out i was pregnant with my daughter. Now that i have a child, i do things with her instead. I have friends that love to have her around. Our Friday nights usually include going out, but places like Chuck E Cheese or out to dinner, etc. I'm a single mom by the way... My sister and i used to be very close (she's only 2 years younger), but she's still into the whole bar scene, so we rarely see each other anymore. She gets on my case about being a "boring mom" and never wanting to go out and have fun. She doesn't understand that i DO have fun, i don't need to go drink or go to the bar to have fun. My old friends are still HER friends and TONS of them have kids now, around my daughter's age. I have them all on my Facebook, but we never see each other anymore. They go out multiple times a week, just like they did before having kids. They have pics up of them dacing on bars and drinking with all the other girls, making out with guys, etc. They are all single moms too. Kinda makes me feel bad...i'd love to hang out with them and have our kids play together, but it seems like they just aren't interested in being a mommy. I have wanted more friends who have kids for awhile, but most of the moms around my age act like this. AND i'm 24!! These moms are all between 21 and 25. And it's not just single moms, my sister's best friend planned a pregnancy with her boyfriend, and a week after she was home from the hospital she left the baby with her mom so her and her boyfriend could go to the bar, because she was "dying to get out and have some drinks." Now the two of them go out every weekend. I understand going out every once in awhile, but isn't this much a little crazy? Is this the norm?

I am 25 weeks pregnant and suffering from gallbladder problems where I am still throwing up and have severe pain that comes and goes. I am not having surgery until the baby is born, so the doctor wrote an order where I can take interminent days off using fmla without it counting against me for 6-8 weeks as needed. But I am tired of calling off becuase I don't know when I'll feel good or not. I only have long term disability and I was wondering should I just go out of work now and then start my maternity leave in July when the baby is born? Will I get paid with Long term disability because of my gallbladder sickness that I can't do anything about until I have this baby?

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend 2 weeks ago i know it was a stupid idea we always use protection but it was just the heat of the moment. My cycle is between 28-50 days long i had sex on day 25. A week after having sex I started getting slight pains in my lower stomach and light cramps which i never get! 2 weeks after having sex i started getting chest pains like heart burn, feeling really tired and a bit weak and hungry, also a few days after sex i also got very watery discharge it was dripping out of me! and ive been getting head aches too! I never get any symptoms like this before. I feel like ive lost weight too. I also feel like im going to get my periods but when my period is due i normally get stronger cramps about an hour before my period comes. Its now day 38 and still no period! what do you think my chances are?? do you think i could of been ovulating on day 25?? Also when i pee my urine seems more yellow and darker. And ive been feeling more hungry and very thirsty. My boobs are starting to gradually be a bit sore.

ok so i had my last period 6th september 2009 and i had sex on the 10,11,13,17.18,19,20,23,24,25,26,27 and my period was due too come around the 4th october and it didnt so i did a pregnancy test and it came back negative. i waited and repeated the test on the 12th october and it showed positive on a clearblue digital saying 1-2 weeks since conception. 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

I just always seem to wake up in the middle of the night and CAN'T get back to sleep. Any tips on getting a better nights sleep?

I am now 26 weeks pregnant, i had my 25 week check up last week when i mentioned to the doctor that i had been having some discomfort down very low he checked my abdomen and said that my womb was still level to my belly button and normally would be higher and also said the discomfort was the baby being down so low. although he said this was nothing to worry about and everybody carries differently i am really worried and wondered if anyone else experienced this. thank you for answers in advance x

okay so my boobs are getting reallllly sore and ive been cramping. according to a web site i used i would be 2 weeks and 5 days pregnant if i am. im going to test next week but i was just wondering what symptoms you guys experienced and how far along were you when you found out? with my first son my first symptom was my boobs being sore! and for my pms i NEVER cramp and my boobs also never hurt.i was 3 weeks and 2 days when i found out last time. also i have a 25 day cycle. thanks for your answers!!

I was engaged and got pregnant after being on the pill for 7 months (taken regularly). My fiance panicked and called off the wedding and disappeared. Around 5 months of me being pregnant he decided he wanted to be part of his son's life. Around 7 months he decided he wanted a DNA test, I didn't have a problem with this at all (I was actually a little offended). Now I'm 9 months (due the 25th) and have heard from him maybe 3 times in a week and haven't actually seen him in almost 2 weeks. Not sure what I should do about him. I don't want to waste money on a DNA test if he's not going to be around either way but if he's going to be around I don't mind doing one so that he won't second guess his son for the rest of his life. I think the main reason he said he wanted to be involved was because his family gave him a hard time about the way he was acting and so my guess is he just wanted them to stop harassing him about it. I'm just very confused about how I should handle the situation - should I just push him away so he doesn't feel obligated to be around just because of his family or keep trying? I just keep getting my hopes up everytime he comes around just to be let down again when he disappears. I'm not planning on getting child support from him so I won't need a DNA test for that - the only reason I would be getting it would be for him.

I have asked a few times on here about it and it seems to confuse everyone. I've heard to come up with an approximate conception date you count back 38 weeks from your due date which is July 2nd for me but my LMP was May 25th so it doesn't add up at all - this would mean that I got pregnant after my missed period but I am due March 25th and according to due date calculators I should've had my baby by now going by LMP and still have not. Has anyone asked their doctor this question? Was he/she willing to explain it to you or did it irritate them?

I started off overweight by about 15 lbs, so 173 lbs (I'm 5'8"). Right now I'm tipping the scales at 177-179 depending on when I weigh myself, and I'm 4 months along. I keep reading that I should gain between 15-25 lbs, but nobody is telling me if this should be a consistent 1/2 lb every week or if there is some specified time when I should be gaining more or less. I'd like to weigh no more than 190 when I have my baby so that I can shed the pounds more easily. How much had you gained by 4 months? Is this too much or too little?

ok so im 25 and a half weeks pregnant. And today iv been feeling pretty bad. and being the worrier i am, im getting all freeked out and prob over reacting. these are my symptoms- tired head ache slightly puffy feet and hands kinda week nausious achy its prob just pregnancy stuff right? like iv been readin up on preaclampsia and im kinda a hypocondriact so im wondering if i might be starting to get that. does anone else have thease symptoms ? its also been really hot today..bleh if i still feel bad tomorrow im going to call my doctor, but for right now, im looking for a little reasurence. anything helps, thanks!

Ok so 3 nights ago I felt the baby kicking so I thought but it wasn't the baby I can feel it on the inside allso out side when I put my hand on my stomach, I asked this question that night what could it be its like a pulse same patern and I was told maybe the baby has hiccups or its your own heart beat and to compare it to mine I did and my heart beat didn't match the beat/ puls thing in my stomach so I said ok the baby has hiccups BUT! It happened yester and earlier today and its happening now and I don't think my baby has ben having hiccups since 3 nights ago and I know its not my heat beat my heart beat is faster than this beat in my stomach so what else could this be?? Its really bothering me! Yesterday lol not yester June 28 10 its a boy! Thanx but I know what it feels like when she moves and kickes around this is not my first pregnancy I have 2 other kids I just never have experienced feeling either of them having the hiccups so that's why I was worried the whole hiccup thing is new to me even though this is my third pregnancy. I'm 25 weeks 3 days and due 6~26~10 expecting a girl!

Hi there, I am pregnant with our fourth baby and have had three previous c-sections 1st - October 2006 - 41 weeks, lower segment horizontal incision 2nd - September 2007 - 25 weeks, lower segment horizontal incision (but obviously higher on my uterus as it wasn't as stretched at 25 weeks. 3rd - January 2009 - 38 weeks, lower segment horizontal incision. Now, i know that my pregnancies have been pretty close together. This one is due October 2010. My question is whether anyone knows if i would have much of a chance at having a *safe* VBA3C, or is it just too risky? I am all about what is safest as my first two c-sections were for losses, so i don't want to put this baby in harms way. While saying that, i know that c-sections are risky too, especially since it will be my fourth one. Thanks. :o)

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.

I just found out last week that I am pregnant with twins and I am 25 weeks today. I was wondering if it is normal for the dr. to wait so long to do my first ultrasound. I have been receiving prenatal care since 8 weeks preggo and have asked him many times when I could get an ultrasound. Now he is sending me to a specialist in a week. I am kinda nervous because throughout the pregnancy he was always telling me that I was gaining too much weight and not to eat so much, but do you think that by me cutting back, the babies will be smaller than they are supposed to be?

Im 29 years old and I really dont know what is going on with me, my last 2 periods only lasted 3 days which is unusual for me they usually last about 5 -6 days , my last preiod was on the 25th of febuary it was 3-4 days early and lasted 3 days , the past 2 weeks I have had stomach cramps similar to period pains on and off ,some dizziness and slight nausea , Ive been irratible , weepy, very gassy burping alot, getting tired easily after a walk or housework, feeling bloated ,sensitive nipples, and my gums bleed when I brush my teeth now, I have done a preganacy test a few days ago but it came back negative , do you think im testing too early??? what is going on?

I am 25 weeks pregnant with my 4th child, which is also my 4th girl! My girls names are: Isla Madeleine Violet Isabelle Sienna Charlotte I am pretty sure we like the name Eden Sophia the most at the moment, however someone suggested to me the name Amelie, and I really quite like it! So do you prefer Eden Sophia or Amelie Sophia? Which goes the best with my girls names? Try to put as much detail in your answer as you can so you can try and convince me to go with your favourite! Feel free to add me as a contact or email me, and feel free to check out my photos of my girls (the link is on my profile). I decided against Ruby because I think that Isla may eventually feel left out because she would be the only one without a colour name!
