Feeling very broody.. How to get over it?

Hi, first thing, please don’t judge me. I think we’re all on here to seek advice, and I really need it more now than ever.

Im 20 years old, on my 2nd year of my degree. After an ectopic pregnancy in September 2010 and a miscarriage in January 2011, I cant help the feeling of wanting a baby more than ever. I know it might sound really weird, and alot of you will only say it’s natural to feel this way when you’ve lost something. But im getting out of control!! I keep on looking at baby websites, clothing etc. It’s starting to piss me off now cause i know i cant even have one (me and my ex split on new years eve after 3 years together)

How can i get over this broody feeling and move on?

18 years old, mother found contraceptive pills, why is she angry that im protecting myself, wat are my rights?

She came into my room while I was still in bed and I always keep the pills beside my bed as I take them early in the morning and then hide them in my drawer during the day. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and I love him very much and she knows about him and is ok with it. I am 18, going into second year of college and live away from home while im away at college. When she saw the box of pills, i quickly grabbed them. She demaded to know if they were contracepive pills and I told her they were. She said to me then ”I cant believe you, Can you not save yourself?” I have saved my self for someone who I eally love, which is my boyfriend, She then told my dad and I got very upset about it, those pills were my business and no one elses, and its bad enough that shes told my dad because hes a man and he doesnt need to a womans business like that. I feel very strongly about keepin my private business like that to myself and feel very violated now, was my mum right to go mad at me just because Im being safe and using condoms aswell??!! I seriously dont understand it, if i found out my daughter was on the pill, I would pat her on the back and say fairlplay to ya for being safe, I thought my mum would have been a bit more happy for me??!! lets face it, havin sex is a natural part of growing up, and yes I do understand the consequences and I do know im always risking pregnancy, but I take my pills perfectly so I know im very safe. I also went on the pill as I have got acne which is now cleared up thankfully and also I want ed my perods to be very regular, which has worked……..please help??

Sever migraine suggestions please…?

During my sister’s first pregnancy, she had severe migraines thoughout. When she is not pregnant, she occasionally takes migraine meds. Now she is pregnant again and experiencing the same migraines. Does anyone know any baby safe methods to get rid of them, either safe meds or natural safe cures? If it is relevent, she is 20 years old.

Home Pregnancy Test Help!!!?

I am 11 dpo. I just took a First Response Early Response HPT and the pregnancy line is VERY faint. I can see it in natural light if I look very hard, and when I hold it up to the window/sunlight I can really see it.

My question is do those tests show the pregnancy line when you are holding it up to the window/sunlight because that is where the line would be if you were pregnant? Or do you only see that if the test is positive. Any help right now would be great.

Thanks!!!

hcg level and pregnancy possibility?

Well, my husband and I use a natural family planning method and had intercourse while I was fertile. I was supposed to have my period on the 18 or 19 and did not. I have taken a few pregnancy tests after my expected period, all negative. Today my breasts have been quite sore and I am questing whether I just didn’t ovulate or if I didn’t have enough hcg to be detected on the pregnancy tests.

Any thoughts or has this happened to any of you?

miscarriage – could i already be pregnant?

I had a miscarriage on 10/16 – passes something on 10/29 finally stopped bleeding afterwards.

My doctor advised us that we could start trying after I stop bleeding and pass everything. (i did this natural) My husband and I have had unprotected sex about 10 times since then.

I have not start my first cycle yet, but… I’m really confused, for the past couple of days I have been feeling queezy! I haven’t thrown up – but, i’m just feeling queezy… Is this my high hopes or could i already be? Since my miscarriage i have been going to the doctor to test my HCG levels and they were going down great, finally got back to normal and i took a pregnancy test just to make sure and it was negative.. I’ve taken one every wednesday just to see!

I have a 6 year old soon, my ex-husband and i got pregnant around thanksgiving time and miscarried in december, then we found out we were pregnant again in january.
I have also had some heartburn and my girls seem to have enlarged more…

attempting a VBAC- but time is almost up!?

i’m hoping for a VBAC with this pregnancy. I’ll be 41 weeks on tuesday. I’ve been patient waiting- but now am feeling “under the wire” because if I haven’t gone into labor by Tuesday (feb 13) at my OB appointment- she will schedule a c-section for me at 42 weeks. I want a natural birth so bad! Anyways- i’ve gone weeks without being dilated or having anything more than ‘menstral like cramps’… today at my appointment i was 80% effaced, -2 station and dilated to a 1. My OB said if i was dilated just a pinch more she would have been able to get her finger up far enough to strip my membranes… so hopefully she can on tuesday.. Does anyone have any suggestions of anything I can do to help my body dilate or anything? I’ve been taking red raspberry leaf- going to the chiropractor- dh has the old “afraid of hurting the baby’ thing going- so any sex has pretty much been completely out of the question– anyone offer up any suggestions? or just some encouragement for me??? thanks!
Today i’ve actually had a few “regular” contractions.. so at least something is going on!!! I was never dilating at my appointments- but was effacing about 10% more from week to week.
*** i am prepared mentally to end up with another c-section… but I would much rather at least try the vbac and end up with a c-section- than just go in for a c-section having always wished i had tried for a natural birth! ty for the advice

VBAC??? Questions???

I am looking for literature on VBAC & easy to understand statistics & such?? I am also looking for good books on the subject & on natural birth, know any? Thirdly can anyone reccomend exercise & nutrion tips/hints & tricks for preparing your body for pregnancy & child birth?

I had a c-section 3.5 years ago. I was induced (1 week late) w/ pitocin. I labored for about 18 hours, I pushed for 2 hours & he wouldn’t come! Result: Emergency C-section. Any one know if that makes me a bad candidate for VBAC. We are making an appointment to speak witha new Dr. about our options.(My previous doc will not do VBAC!)

***So please don’t tell me to talk to a doc, just personal experience & opinions ONLY, PLEASE!

I am not even pregnant yet…Just doing my homework!

Trying Labor without any drugs advice???

I am on my first pregnancy and i want to go natural and need advice i have heard many horror stories as well as witnessed a few with people who had epidurals i just really want to know from people who have gave birth not people who read books about giving birth what there advice is i would greatly appriciate that

Is this my first postpartum period or something else? Need the advice of other mothers?

With my first child I had what I would consider a normal period when he was 6 months old as my first postpartum period. Monday, for a stretch of a few hours, I had light red/pinkish very stretchy discharge around my cervix. In case anyone is wondering why I was checking, I just started charting for natural family planning. Trying to avoid a pregnancy, but stay withing the guidelines of my religion. The discharge didn’t spot my underwear and only came out a little after I checked. It was similar to egg white cervical mucus, but light red/pink. I thought I would be starting a period, but it went away after a few hours. (no more than 8) I have been cramping for the past 3 weeks so that’s not really a good indicator of anything. Tuesday I have changed to a slightly stretchy white creamy mucus.

So my question is was this my first postpartum period or just my body gearing up for a period?

And no I did not experience anything like this with my first so I honestly have no idea what to make of it. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add that my baby is exclusively breastfed, eats every 1 1/2 hours during the day, is 19 weeks old, and sleeps 10 hours at night.
Pregnant Slut- You obviously don’t know much about breastfeeding. 6 months isn’t a long time. Some women don’t get a period until they completely wean their child. 6 months is considered the normal return of the menstrual cycle while breastfeeding.
No I’m not learning from a teacher. I’m charting BBT, mucus, and cycle. I’m positive I didn’t cut myself. I bite my nails so I never have long nails. Usually mine are too short if anything,

Is it about that TIME?

O.k. here’s the deal, I am now 35 weeks and 3 days pregnant. Dilated 1 centimeter the last time my dr. checked; In this pregnancy I have had preterm labor 4 times since January. I am currently lounging and have been ever since my first preterm labor “scare.” Now here is the thing ever since the complications with my second child I have been High risk. Lately I have been nesting alot and i have also had alot of fatigue and been very tired not to mention an increase in vaginal discharge and contractions. Last night I woke up only to feel my panties were damp (I wondered if it was sweat or if my water had broken or something but im not sure because i had the a/c on 65 degrees last night) Then when I got out of the bed I felt immediate cramping with pain in my lower back, with contractions, and this has not stopped yet.. I am not really sure what is going on and my next dr. appointment is not until the 29 next week.. anybody have any ideas or help??? I currently have 2 children both of which are girls. My oldest is 2yrs and 5 months and my youngest is 1yr and 4 months. With my second pregnancy I experienced preterm labor three times before actually going into labor (which lasted 5 hours) I had gone into labor so fast that the hospital couldn’t give me epidural.. My youngest child was born natural and weighed in at 7lbs 14oz….

How do I tell my 4 year old that I’m pregnant?

I am 24 weeks pregnant, and although I’m showing (not a lot, but enough for others to notice), I still haven’t told my son. I know that part of him will be excited, but I just worry about him too.
His dad and I separated shortly after he was born, and are now divorced and his dad has nothing to do with him.
The guy I was dating (who is the father of the child that I’m pregnant with now) was absolutely wonderful to my son. But he broke up with me when I was 2 months pregnant, and hasn’t really been a part of the pregnancy.
My son has adjusted to a lot here recently, with 1.) my boyfriend no longer being in our lives (which he says he wants to be a part of this baby’s life when it is born, but is doing nothing during the pregnancy, we don’t talk or have contact, so if he comes back around I know it will spark questions with my 4 year old). It’s hard enough trying to explain a what breaking up is to a 4 year. 2.) His aunt just moved away for school/work (she was/is a VERY big part of his life, and he is adjusting to her not being here; 3.) He’s starting preschool in a couple weeks. Just a lot of life changes in a short period of time for a little boy.
I also plan to take my son to a big brother/big sister class…but not until November since I’m not due until the end of Dec/beginning of Jan. I know how 15 minutes can be an eternity to a child, let alone 3 months.
I want him to feel included and a part of all this. I want him to be proud and happy that he is going to be a big brother.

I would appreciate any suggestions you have in ways that I could tell him the news.

My mom had to me to just wait until he asks about my growing belly, since it would be his natural curiosity sparking the question. That way I would know he wants to talk about it rather than just initiating the conversation.
I just wanted to have a back up plan unless he doesn’t ask. I didn’t want to wait too long to tell him, after all I’m already 6 months.

Thanks in advance!

i have a 6 day old baby girl…?

and after my waters being broken for 2 days to be left to see if i went into labour on my own i was induced.. well they tried.. i was given a pesseri to try and get things started but after 5 hours i noticed a little pale green staning of the waters on my st.. so i was taken onto delivery and where they put me on the hormone drip syntocin, i was on this for about 8 hours, i was contracting 4 -5 in 10 mins but no change and wasnt dilating so my baby came by c-sec..
i have had 3 natural births so i am aware of what that is like but this was my first c-sec. i am b/f my baby as i feel it is the best start but also because i do feel a little cheated and i feel that if i didnt that i would poss suffer from PND.. having a c-sec was not something i enterd into lightly as the baby was absolutely fine and showing no signs of distress. my partner has been fantastic with doing things for me because obviously i am out of action for up to 6 weeks so i struggle to do simple things like stand for too long to cook dinner or take the washing out the machine and hang it out.. just silly simple things even making a cuppa with the kettle.. so he has been helping out loads which i am soo greatful for. i also sufferd badly with SPD in my pregnancy and over the festive season he also helped out alot as he is still doing now.. i am starting to feel now that may be he is resenting helping out with the older kids and everything else..i am slowly doing things like pulling the washing from the machine, he will take the basket to the table where i am able to stand and hang it out on the airer, and i am doing little things but taking it really easy..

i worry about him though he isnt very good at showing his emotions and i worry that maybe he may be hindering feelings for having to do everything..

my baby is 6 days old but i can only do so much as i am still also suffering with a little spd so i am still a little slow… what can i do to make it easier for him so he doesnt have to do so much?

facebook login???????

ok so everytime i try logging into facebook it says “account temporarily unavalible” and like stuff about site maintenance…. it says try back in a few hours. but this has been happening since friday night i couldnt login at all yesterday and now this morning it says the same thing

is there anything i can do to fix this?
is it normal?

Facebook login?

Ever since I got a a face book I can’t get on, only on my computer, I’ve tried changing my password, and it will login for a split second, and then it’ll say it’s incorrect. It works on other people’s computers. Is there any software I need? My computer is an HP. Also, my browser says something about the connection being encrypted.

How do you delete Facebook login history on a Mac?

Whenever i go onto facebook and type in the first letter of my username, the whole username comes up, which is normally fine, but recently i accidently typed my password into the username box, so that now pops up whenever i type the first letter :s….how can i delete the login history on facebook?

My facebook login tells me that it is under site maintenance wont let me login for over 12 hours now?

When I try to login to facebook it keeps telling me that my profile is under site maintenance. This has been going on for over 12 hours now. What is going on with face book? Is my profile being hacked or what?

Induction because of blood pressure?

I had a prenatal appt. on Tuesday (btw, I’m 35 weeks) everything was the same as usual, except when the nurse took my blood pressure she said it was too high 156/75 so she had me lay on my left side and took it again it was 152/70. Then she said it was still too high so she had me lay there for a little and took it again and it was 140/60.

The doctor came in, did the usual things but then said she wanted me on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy and that she would want to induce me in 2-3 weeks and next week she wants me to do fetal monitoring for a half hour.

I didn’t ask any questions because I was in shock. I know that’s stupid, but now I have a bunch of questions!

1. Is my blood pressure really high? I mean it doesn’t seem too high.
2. What will they do for fetal monitoring?
3. If I’m on bed rest will my blood pressure go down and she won’t want to induce?
4. And is there any chance that if my blood pressure doesn’t go down she won’t induce and let me go into labor on my own? I ask because I wanted to do all natural.

And please, no rude comments. I know I was stupid for not asking, but I’m writing a list of things I’m going to ask about at my next appt on Tuesday.

Labor Induction complications?

I am 38 weeks pregnant with my 7th pregnancy no problems other than the norm DR says if i do not deliver by due date 06/29/2009 she will induce i totally disagree because i have never had meds of any kind or had to induce labor for none either i went through natural child birth with all because i worry the side effects will hurt the baby i feel that inducing labor will push for what is not meant to happen yet i think baby’s come when they are ready i talked to her a little bit about it but she said well it is mostly so you do not deliver at home but i let it go i justwant to hear what could be the complications if i 100 % have to go with this

Anyone see a doctor during their pregnancy that they hated?

I am currently going through the same practice of midwives I went though to have my first and while the experience with my first was amazing and very natural I am very disappointed as to how it is going this time around. With my first the midwife let me go to 42 almost 43 weeks and that is very dangerous and so this time around one of the main midwives I have been seeing stated that she was not going to let that happen to me this time around especially cause the baby is already very big. So to be on the safe side she scheduled me to be induced on the 18th especially because I am group b positive and she wants to make sure I get the medication in time. Well I am ok with that the other midwife in the practice doesn’t. The same one who let me go almost 43 weeks found out that I was being induced and practically flipped out on me saying how my body would not be able to last with it and how I would not be able to handle the contractions and how I should just wait again for the baby to come. The thing is she did that to a friend of mine who just recently had a baby and was also told it was big and my friend ended up delivering a 10lb 8 oz baby because this midwife did not want to induce and I do not want to go through that. Lucky for me the doctor who originally scheduled me for the induction is the one who is on call that day of the induction but I still have to see this other doctor on tuesday and I just feel horrible every time she talks to me. Is this normal? I had a natural child birth with no pain meds with my first and I did great and now I am being told I will not be able to do it without pain meds and its feeding doubt into me

Should I try for natural birth or have c-section?

Hello I have a little Boy who is three and I gave birth to him naturally BUT he was a big boy at 9 and a half pounds. I am 56″ and about 8 stone so it was hard to carry him and towards the end of the pregnancy I was in agony, I didn’t know it at the time but I had pubis symphasis dysfunction. The labour was awful I had an episotomy and his head almost didn’t come out, I had a ventouse suction cap. With all that said, I healed in two weeks, snapped back and breastfed quite happily. Now I am 31 weeks and on crutches, I did loose a baby last year at 27 weeks and had to give birth, again I had the PSD but earlier as with this pregnancy. I now am on crutches and cannot walk or sleep properly, it is agony everyday and they tell me the babies head is measuring big for my dates and for my pelvis so I have to have another scan at 36 weeks, they say this baby (a Boy) is looking to be big but I do not know what to do for the best? My PSD is severe and the pain is never ending, should I opt for a c-section, ask for early induction or just put up and shut up (ouch) and is it possible to breastfeed after c-section? Sorry if I am rambling on I fainted today and the stress of the situation is making me ill. Also I would like to add apart from the problems mentioned I am very fit and healthy with lots of fresh fruit and fibre, water and vitamins, the big babies are just hereditory (I was 10 pounds!) Any advice from Mums would be great and thanks so much 🙂
Thanks for all the advice, I don’t think I can carry to term I am in agony and I am vertually housebound. I have a very bad day today, I think I will opt for an early induction and try to give birth but it may out of my hands if baby is big. Thanks once again for the very good and open advice 🙂

I can’t stop biting my nails! This is an awful habit, I’ve kicked it before, but now it’s back. Any ideas?

As a child I was a nail biter. As a teen, I grew long, beautiful nails. At some point I started biting again and resorted to artificial nails. Even after the fake nails, I’ve been able to remove them and grow natural nails. Of course I was taking prenatal vitamins at the time during pregnancy with my son(s). Now I refuse to go back to artificial nails and I am too embarrassed to go get manicures because my nails are so awful. I chew them down to the point that they are sometimes painful. When I can no longer bite the nail edge, I start to peel layers and bite my cuticles. My nails are in the worst shape of my life. I’m 31 years old and cannot stop this nasty habit.

Remedy for brittle hair?

My hair has become very dry and brittle, even though it used to be fine before my pregnancy (my baby is seven months old). It lacks docility and always retains the form of the do I had. For example it stays awfully wavy after I let it loose from a ponytail. And if I let it down it gets all frizzy and gross. Any solution that may help me (best if it is a natural remedy)? Thanks!

natural
or
cesarean

Maybe I am paranoid?

I had my daughter at 20! Easy pregnancy, gained only 28lbs, lost it in two months, barely any stretch marks, great recovery, no difficulties during pregnancy, even had her 100% natural. I am going to be 28 and me and my husband want a baby boy and well gosh, I am freaked to be pregnant again because I am so much older now & fear so much. Do you know if it is a much higher risk at 28 then 20?

I have some questions from a quiz im really struggling with.. Child development.?

Ok, so i have a 65 question quiz and there is some problems that i cannot find anywhere ( i can’t afford to buy the book so next time i know to go to school and rent it) but for now i have to do it online, so if you could answer them or steer me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Why do women think their sexual pasts are comparable to those of men?

This is a text book “apples vs. oranges comparison”

There are very often far greater risks for women to engage in sex, be it physical (pregnancy, higher chance of STD’s), emotional (tend toward placing more value on it) or social (bad reputation vs. men who are thought more highly of, often by women)

Also, it is much more of an “accomplishment” for a man to get casual sex from a woman than vice versa based on womens natural sexual advantages.

Lastly it’s universally understood that men tend to be more interested in “spreading their seed” while women are more given “to nest”. So these women are generally going against biology while men are going with it.

There are other examples of how this is different, although these are more than sufficent. Still, how can anyone, especially women, honestly believe comparing sexual pasts between men and women is the same thing? It would be like comparing bench press strength or some such……
Grappler – that is poor math skills right there buddy…..
You Can’t Handle – please explain…I don’t understand what you are saying.
Professor – basically you just admited that you are letting some sort of personal bias against me, blind you to the logical points i have made? Since you don’t agree with me on an opinion, you can’t accept facts? That’s quite sad for you….also arrogant to think your opinion is somehow superior to mine. Considering I have been raped, one could argue MY perspective on the subject is more informed….
Arlo – many women have died giving birth…I have never known of a man who died from it.
Professor – I noticed your addition – please point out where in anyway I suggested women had no right with regard to who they sleep with? THAT my dear is a textbook logical fallacy on your part
Helena – your arguement was simply point by point not accepting facts. There are more STD’s that women are more prone to contract than men. This is fact. Also, perhaps you did not understand what I meant when I used quotes around the word accomplishment. I don’t you could seriously say it’s anywhere near as easy for average men to get sex as it is average women. If you truly believe that, I would suggest you get out of the house a little more and into the real world. Also, just totatlly dismissing thousands of years of biological history is incredibly silly on your part, and really hurts your case further.
Helena – your argument started terrible and went downhill from there….by the way this is NOT a circular argument:

“its harder for men to get sex because many women choose to abstain so that’s an accomplishment”. That is like saying the offense is tring to score a goal and the defense is trying to stop them. if they score it IS an accomplishment, you silly goose!

Can some one please help with my question…..last one didn’t get listed?

Hi ladies!

how is everyone feeling?….I am 31 weeks now and am awaiting a scan tomorrow (tuesday) to check out all of the happenings. I have antenatal appt thursday to book my c section based on the finding of the scan.
my boy seems healthy and hopefully the placenta has moved up and away from my previous c section scars!..i have had some bleeding over the last week so im a bit stressed about it!

so my question is…
Is anyone waiting to find out when your c section is to be done? and are you having any problems with bleeding at all?…also if you are/were what was/is the outcome?

FYI..My c sections have been done for medical reasons and if i were able to decide for my self i WOULD most definitely be having a natural birth!..lol

Any info in regards to any thing i have said today would be lovely…Thanks Ladies & good luck with the pregnancy and TTC.

Breech baby and a C Section?

I am 36 weeks and 1 day. The baby is frank breech. I read in one of the baby books that I have that the chances of the baby moving now is low to none. The doctor said that if she does not flip by week 38 or 39 they will schedule a C Section. Right now with the baby the way she is I can barely to anything. It hurts to breathe and its a constant pain where her head is sticking out. Do you think if I ask at my next appt, I will be 27 weeks, if they can just go ahead and schedule one if she is still breech they will do one? It is my first pregnancy and wanter a natural delivery but I can not go through this pain much longer.

Question about boobs….i know…weird…tmi?

ok..there a very good chance i could be pregnant right now but it is too early to test. So, I was wondering….I have very big blue/green/purple looking veins on my boobs, my nipples/areolas are brown and i can see the veins clearly though them. My boobs are also very achy when i touch them. I am 7-10DPO. Im not sure if theyve gotten bigger bc i am already a d cup, maybe a little heavier.

Would there be any reason this would happen if I wasn’t pregnant?

(back story…Had a natural miscarriage at 5 weeks on oct 5 no D&C HCG was less than 2 days later, felt like I ovulated around the 24, it was my second pregnancy, i also have a 2.5 yr old)
lol not sging im sure, im only 22

Are Social Networking Sites Making The New Generation of Teens Retarded?

It seems that with a rise in technology, a rise in annoyance comes with teenagers. Facebook, Myspace, whatever are truly ruining kids now-a-days. It is completely natural to be confused and curious when you are a teen, but now they have other teenagers posting garbage all over the net that adds to their confuse. I look at some of these answers on her about stuff like teen pregnancy, and the answers are from a 17 year old to a 14 year old, trying to “school” them on life since they are “much older” 🙂 I think social networking sites are destroying teenagers. When I was a kid, I had to ask adults for answers, or look at books, not listen to clueless teens on the internet. Everything seems so shallow in these current times, and our kids are growing up just as shallow. Shallowness leads to annoyance. I can’t even fathom the idea of bringing a kid into this world because they all seem so stupid and numb. Sometimes, finding things out through experience is a good thing, but now they can just watch videos and live vicariously through other teens they see on the net…its f’in crazy. Anyone agree with this point? Anyone disagree? Please, adults only.

im 21 yrs old ad my period is late?

my last period was the 22nd of july up to the 26 july witch is normally how long my period lasts then on the 3rd august to the 5 august i bled again witch is very unusual. i was supposed to start my period on the 22nd of august so im 7 days late with no sign of it showing up. i have sore boobs and bloating and need to pee more often i have done 2 pregnancy tests but they are negative. i have never bled between periods and i am not normally late for my period either. the only time i have been late was in april i was 16 days late for my period when i found out i was 6 weeks pregnant sadly i had a natural miscarriage 5 days later and my period returned to normal. when i took the pregnancy tests in april there was a very faint line but the doctors confirmed i was pregnant.but the 2 i have done now are saying negative.sorry if im rambling im just very confused
i think i will ask for a urine test instead lol as i hate needles
thanks daniel thats what i was thinking by next week if i am pregnant i will be 6wks so i might have that faint line like last time. its just so hard playing the waiting game as i want a baby so much but im not wanting to get my hopes up after the miscarriage 🙁
thanks back to the drawing board
