Let me start by saying I have PCOS. I don't know how relevant that is, but it could be the whole cause of this. A few months back I started feeling like my period was coming on. I went about my business all prepared for it. Nothing. Ok, its just a little bit delayed, whatever. So a few more days go by, nothing. So I decide to take a test, since ovulation comes 1st, I thought maybe. Not that we were trying. Negative. I thought I was wrong and it just wasn't that time of the season for me. But

I had a missed miscarriage earlier this year. Four weeks after I had a period, then four weeks after that (10th August) I had my next period. My next period is due Tuesday however last night before bed I had slightly bleeding, but not enough to mark my underwear, it was just on wiping. When I went back to be bathroom a little while later the pad was still clean but I had pinkish gloop on the paper after wiping.I figured it was just my period a couple of days early, popped another pad on, and

i have a 4, soon to be 5 arab/qh mare. she came from a dealer and he had no idea where she came from and she was crazy at the time. ive had her for over a year now, and trained her. many professionals told me she is deffinately an arab/qh because she's built like a qh but has the attitude, stamina, and movement of an arab, and i see that everytime i work with her. if she was worked with since a baby, she would be a lot farther than she is now. right now she is at level 1 dressage and learns so

i know im a girl but let me tell u the storyy SOO theres this ***** that i really hate we used to be friends but now we arent blah blah blah. so one day i was in her room with her, her cousin, and her bf (and i had to go to their house, cause my parents are frends with her parents and MADE me go) anyways, so they (mstly her and her cusin) were being rude to be, bitched at me, and after a while they left the room to go on the comp or something. SOO,,, i was thinking how i could take revenge

I just found out im pregnant(about 5 weeks)....for the past 2 months before i found out i got a 3 year old horse to start training on barrels,....shes doing really well and learning fast...and i hate to stop riding at the begining of her training and especially while shes doing so well! I was told that if your doing something before your pregnant...sports, ridding, working out, ect. that your not supposed to stop what your doing, your just not supposed to start doing stuff your body isnt used

Back around March, She was on the rebound and really wanted a man to be around. So it was my boyfriends idea to hook her up with his friend (denzel), they had an agreement of no feelings attatched. Just friends with benefits. But once they started habing sex she caught feelings as most girls do, So while my friend (lynn) was liking denzel more and more, denzel was telling my bf how much he didnt like her by the day. and now me and my bf were stuck in the middle of this. the whole time denzel

FYI-I'm not trying to lose weight! Just trying to get healthy. These past few months I've been eating fast food too much and I haven't exercised in months. I've gained way too much weight. I feel so much better when I exercise and when I eat healthy so I've decided to go back to my normal healthy life style. However I'm concerned that the massive change in calories and activity will make me lose weight. I've heard it's not safe to lose weight while pregnant. Do you think going from like 2,0

So... I'm kinda thinkin that I might be one of those ladies that doesn't know she's pregnant until she gives birth, and I guess I'm just confused. I've taken tests, they're all negative, but if I were to be pregnant I'd be between 17-18 weeks and I noticed this yesterday while I was at work, this tiny little tapping feeling in my stomach a little below my belly button, and it wasn't my heartbeat cause it was a lot faster and very faint. I've felt it a little today, and I've had other symptoms

Okies, I'm having a hard time going to the bathroom. I don't think I'm totally constipated because I've gone a little bit by forcing it (I know, bad). But I recently received a new work schedule and along with school, I don't really have a day I can take a laxative without it interfering with what I'm doing 3-4 times a day. I am over weight, but I've been dieting for about 3 weeks now and it was a semi crash diet- Meaning I went from candy bars, fast food, salty stuff, etc to one day TOTAL tu

How long did it last as well as the stronger and faster heartbeat (especially at night) I wonder if the baby is building more while were relaxed. B/c it hap pends more at night for me. Anyways I am only 6 weeks or so and I started having shortness a breath around 4 weeks. I heard its b/c of the hormonal changes so anyways did you have it and how long did it last? I can still go walking and be fine its not horrible just more annoying I feel as if I am not getting enough air in.

I had sex for the first time back on July 6. I tried being a vegetarian July 14- August 10 ish. I didn't like it. I had Light bleeding July 14 that lasted 5 days (my normal period length) but it was much lighter than usual. I didn't think anything of it then. A week or so ago I began to get bad headaches and started to feel nauseous at work or randomly during the day. It was so bad that at times I thought I was going to have to run to the bathroom and throw-up, but I hate throwing up so I swal

i feel short of breath, i am only 5weeks. i can still take in the deep breath but it feels like its not enough, im starting to get paranoid is this normal to feel short of breath while pregnant. my heart beat is fast now. i feel super anxious about my breathing and now my heart.

I have a busy schedule; work, kids and school not to mention loads of homework and cleaning. When I am not at work I clean constantly. I started on a veggie diet and now I am trying to cut sweets and soda out of my diet completely and I have replaced those with ice water and low fat snacks, although that part isn't easy. In the evening I usually do a little walking and some jogging with my dogs but I don't like the feeling when I run since I have the extra skin from my pregnancy. I used to go

Before you read, I know I know, another one about fish... The topic today is mollies. What? Yes, mollies. Its a cute little fish that people keep as pets. They are often kept in freshwater aquariums, but in truth they are brackish water fish. If you don't know what that is, brackish water is water that has more salinity than fresh water, but not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing of seawater with fresh water. Don't really remember how its made, something about a river entering t

Alright, so about 5 weeks ago I had unprotected sex and he said he put it in for a couple of seconds (I don't remember cause I was really drunk...), I heard about pre-*** and was first of all wondering if that has semen in it? and I have a UTI (I think it's spread to my kidney... uh oh) also so I'm not sure what is symptom of pregnancy and what is a symptom of UTI or something else. So here's what's been going on: I became a vegetarian on July 19, so that (and stress) could've impacted my cycl

My brothers girlfriend is 26 weeks pregnant with his kid. Not only has she eaten nothing but fast food during the pregnancy, she has also only been to the free clinic 4 times during her whole pregnancy and the only thing they do there is a pap smear and make her pee in a cup. ( Its a sucky clinic ) She actually went today and they told her that they found sugar in her urine. She said that they have to do a sugar test now because she might have diabetes. Is this because she is always eating fas

i started out at 180 lbs, and im now 27 weeks and weigh 223 lbs!!!!! first off...dont yell at me, i am dumber than a child with how to eat back story...my whole life, i was raised on mcdonalds, wendys and burger king, literally everyday! as a child i was so active, i was always stick skinny. once i hit puberty, i ballooned! i have struggled with my weight my whole life. my dad is a dr, and he works all the time, and my mom is stay at home, so she was the one who fed me and my brother. she wa

I met my ex when we were 16. He cheated on me and I stupidly forgave him after he pledged to never cheat again. A few months later I got pregnant and we had my now beautiful 6 year old daughter (her birthday is today, in fact.) Mentally, I was prepared for a child... she had attention, affection, and I worked to prove statistics wrong about teen mothers. Anyways... the same friends of my ex that informed me about him cheating the first time told me he cheated on me while I was pregnant... he w

More specifically I live in Toledo, OH. I was planning to move into an apartment this upcoming month but I have now discovered that I am pregnant and with this new expense I know I will not be able to afford the rent. Can I apply for public housing/section 8 while being pregnant or do I have to wait until I give birth. Anybody who is on section 8 can you explain to me the process, how fast you got into a place, and if you had any say on the location? Thanks in advance.

I work for a good company that pays well outside my home. I have an 8-5 office job with medical insurance paid and 401K. I am learning a lot of what I do as I go along and am a fast learner, but I don't think this job is something that I want to do forever(been there for 2 1/2 years). Yesterday, I got offered a job being a Nanny from 9-6 for two young children. I love children and this would be a dream job because I could be with children, have time for my child and when my husband and I ge

Is it because I'm not eat

Hello. I kind of put myself in a stereotypical situation but Im doing my best to make sure everything turns out for the best. I got pregnant at the age of 17 to my first bf, lover, etc and thought we would be in it for the long haul. I was very wrong. My senior year of high school was spent trying to maintain a 3.7 gpa, make money to afford the essentials for my child, and trying to be the best mom ever. I was all alone in my journey. The father of my child and then boyfriend spent his days on

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 17 months. We first had sex on our one year anniversary. Then we had it twice in one day in mid July. Now yesterday I had sex. So far, as you can see, I have had it four times. Each time we used a male condom. Also, he has taken "it" out when he cummed to be extra safe in case there was a hole or it was ripped. Now, we are getting to the point where it is not lasting very long. Maybe about 30 seconds it has lasted. We are starting to really enjo

ok so I lost my daughter while 5 months pregnant last year November 17th 2009 it was the worse devastating feeling in the world as i was sure she will survuve inside of me. I have a blood disorder that causes clots but while pregnant I take anti-clot medications to improve a more healthier pregnancy and reduce chances of clots going into my body and into the placenta,however while on medication she passed away at 5months due to unknown causes because there was no clot present when the autopsy

I am 38 weeks pregnant and have been working out the entire pregnancy and have not had any problems. Now i don't want to push myself to far but i know walking helps bring labor faster "IF" your body is ready. But i figured jump roping is kinda like jogging and may help dilate me faster. Is that true? But i don't want to do ANYTHING that would harm the baby. I have heard of women doing some crazy stuff to get into labor. I don't want to cause labor to soon, I have been having some small contrac

Note: I got some great advice last time I posted my query letter but It seemed as if the poster missed some important facts. Also, I disagreed with the "silliness" of some of the parts such as "religiously insane militants". This is a different time after all. Attn.

This is my third pregnancy, and I've never had gest. diabetes before. I eat VERY healthy foods, and at 5''7, and 7 months pregnant, I weigh only 130 pounds. Am I really at risk? I hate fasting, I hate drinking that nasty syrup, and it's also hard for me to find a sitter for my 4 and 2 year olds while I sit at the dr's office for an hour. Is it not smart to just say ''no'' to the test?

I'm 20 years old. i go to penn state university. my girlfriend broke up with me about a month and a half ago. she's my neighbor. we had been dating for almost three years. what complicates it even more so than the neighbor part is that we have a 15 month old son too. he means the absolute world to me. anyway, she left me for another guy. they are since over, but she has yet to show any emotion towards me what so ever. she just wants to "be friends and co parents for [our son's] sake, and nothi

I started acupunture... right after my period that I had in july... about 2 days after... well... he gave me herbs to cleanse.. and prepare my body.. and then herbs to prevent miscarriage.... I've been eatting right. And everything... well my period was suppose to start. Last Thursday it never came and still hasn't showed.. u

i really don't understand why people do this. what's the point?? why not date for a while, why does it have to be made official so fast? the only way i understand this is if you are pregnant and your parents really want you to have a legitimate child. but if not for having a legitimate child, then what the hell is the point of rushing a marriage???

I cant believe I sunk that low. I slept with my kids father last nite...OK so yesterday was my son's birthday he turned 3. His father just recently got reinvolved in our kids lives like a couple of months ago. He's been a great dad so far and he's always paid child support. He just wasnt physically there for the kids. My kids father is in a relationship by the way . He left me BOTH times I got pregnant for other women. The woman he is with now...is one of those women. He's been with her for 3

hi, i am a 17 year old girl (soon to be 18 in a few months). i would really like to get heart surgery for my ASD. a male school nurse found it when i was in fourth grade, because i was having really bad chest pains. we went to a heart doctor and he's been monitoring ever since, he wants to stop seeing me when i'm 18, which i will be in a few months (not that he thinks it fine, he's just a pediatrician). i do not remember how big the hole was when i first went to see him but it has closed to 5m

I'll eat, but after a lil while, i just look at the food and not be hungry anymore. Is that okay? I don't want my baby to come out super skinny because i didn't eat enough. I know it sounds stupid but this is my first child. I don't want to do something thats going to hurt my baby. Please help?

I want to look to the lord with this but dont know much about the bible. My mother beat me when I was younger. She tempted to hit me when I was pregnant.

Almost a month ago I bought 2 fancy guppies. 1 male and one female. The male was older and wasn't interested in mating and the female was already pregnant. She had a baby the next day so now I have 3 fancy guppies, although the baby is in a breeding net. About 2 days ago the female swam in one place, every once in a while she would move if she was bothered. The day before that my algae eater died because I did not notice that my filter was cleaning the tank too fast for him to eat. The day aft

I am currently 21 and my son who is almost 2 seems like he is growing up just so fast! I really loved being pregnant and wanted a girl so badly I became depressed when I found out I was having a boy, don't get me wrong my son is my world but I long for that baby girl! my situation is just a mess and I know it would be selfish to have another baby right now but I can't get it out of my mind! I live at home with my parents while I am attending college (I will be finished end of March, yay!) I am

I married my husband who is in the army in sept 2009. I was renting a room and he was in the barracks in colorado and we decided to move out/ We had a hard time looking for apartments that would take our bad credit, but not have to pay 3 months ahead. Almost impossible. Well, I took our last resort and signed up for military housing on post. If we lived off post my husband would recieve $1065 a month for housing. on post they just take it as an allotment. First off my weddding was nothing spec

Ok, I have been with the father of my 3 year old on and off for 6.5 years... We lived together but split after my daughter was born because we found it hard to tolerate each other living together... He hasnt dated anyone else, I have dated 1 other guy, buy it went no further than a kiss, he got jealous and I called it off with the new guy because I realised I loved mypartner... So fast forward to today... I am 10w4d pregnant... This baby was unplanned and conceived while I had the implant in

When me and my husband got pregnant unexpectedly, we were living in a super small studio with only a room, bathroom and kitchenette. It was fine for while, but since birth, my son has slept with us in our bed. There was barely enough room for a crib. Well fast forward to now, and my son is 2.5 and we just bought our first home. Its a huge 5 bedroom home, so none of us are used to this massive amount of space. We moved in last month and I finally got it all furnished, so I kept telling myself

Ok, I need an opinion from people other than family members... So, my husband and I are married almost 5 yrs now, we have the cutest and sweetest two children in the world! My youngest is 7months now. So the most fighting starts when it comes to sex. I really never want sex, once every two weeks would be fine for me, I'm pretty sure its because having a baby recently. It's so much stress with two kids right now that I just dream of a quiet evening with my husband with just cuddling and stuff.

I find my stomach sinking when woman after woman announce their pregnancy! :/ I know that in due time it will happen for me and everything but its just happening for everyone else a little easier. And it doesn't help that my husband and I can't try for the next 3 months while he's out of town....geez! It seems like pregnancy is spreading faster than the swine flu and I can't seem to catch it (pregnancy that is...not swine flu) But all other women have to do is LOOK at a man (husband/boyfriend

My wife is pregnant with twins and I want to make sure she and the babies are safe :) I know she should definitely avoid: *Roller coasters *Fast-moving or bumpy rides *Alcohol (She barely drinks any though) *Smoking (She doesn't smoke, neither do I, and whenever people around her are smoking we leave as fast as possible!) Things I'm not sure of ~ Tell me if any of these should eb avoided or not? *Nail polish and lotions *Tight outfits *corsets *girdles *raw food *scary movies (might disturb

Ok so I have never been pregnant before and I am 3.5 weeks pregnant with our first. There are just a few questions I need to ask since I wont be going to the doctor until the end of the month. 1) Can I clean and use cleaning products? I really need to clean our shower and I am afraid of smelling the cleaning products. 2) In 2008, I pulled 2 nerves in my back from lifting something too heavy. I am usually fine however sometimes I pinch one of the nerves again...like I did this morning. It is
