My husband and I are expecting our very first child and want a creative way to inform our mother and father about the Pregnancy. It will be my moms initial grand youngster and the 3rd on my husbands side. Any suggestions? I want it to be entertaining and surprising.

I have had 3 miscarriages, one at 4 weeks, one at 5, and one at 8, and each time there was one thing that stuck in my mind more than anything else…the fact that I never got to feel them move. It made my loss feel not as real. For awhile I purposefully detached myself trying over and over to tell myself it was just “a Pregnancy”, not acknowledging the baby, but I couldn’t after the 3rd one especially. I just wish I could have felt them kick…just to remember the feeling of a baby really being in there. I was so excited to become a mom but I never really officially felt pregnant. I just really hope someday I will get pregnant and actually be able to feel my little one kick…and the make it all the way to the end of my Pregnancy so that when they are born I can match that beautiful face to that one kicking in my belly. I also had a hard time with the fact that on my second miscarriage I found out Christmas Day that I was pregnant and the novelty of it made me incapable of keeping it secret so I told everybody and then two days later I miscarried. So telling people I was no longer pregnant was super hard.

Were there any moments for you that made the miscarriage more difficult to cope with?

I am due with infant quantity 2 in 7 weeks and she is breech (yes I realize she could flip amongst now and then). My query though is due to my “yucky” insurance coverage. We have a maternity program but it does NOT cover “problems of Pregnancy”…which contain an emergency c-section. However, if we elect to have a c section than they cover it one hundred%. What would you do at this stage? I assume I have to decide in the next 3 weeks. BTW, I had my 1st infant naturally so I have no actual encounter with a having had a c-section. Thanks!

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I took a Pregnancy test and the 2nd line appeared, though it was faint. I took yet another a single today to be sure, but it said adverse. Even so I study in a Pregnancy book that if it has the second line, however faint that it really is a constructive. Very confused now. Please help.

I want to know about every thing about Pregnancy and delivery. I have read “What to expcet when expecting” but I want to hear it from genuine ladies who have different suggestions and have witnessed issues in a various way. Please do not tell me just study “What to count on when expecting” the last query I asked that is all they told me. Thank-you!

Hi, last week I had a blood test to check my hcg levels–the doctor estimated that I was 4 1/2 wks along based on the date of my last period. I got a call two days later saying my hcg levels were too low and asking me to come back in for more bloodwork. I went a few days later–on the date my doctor estimated that I was 5 wks pregnant. I got a call monday saying my hcg levels are still too low–the nurse said I could be early or I might not have a “viable Pregnancy”, which really scared me, so I went in this morning (now 6 1/2 weeks) for more bloodwork and asked for my labs. My paperwork shows that o 4/18 (4 1/2) weeks my hcg was 112, and on 4/22 (5 wks) my levels were 655. Is this normal and has anyone else been through this? I was supposed to have my first ultrasound today, but it has been postponed indefinitely, my doctor won’t see me, and this is all the nurse would tell me.

I’ve gotten married to my ex-boyfriend (almost a year ago) for reasons I’d rather not disclose (love wasn’t the main factor, in case you had any doubts).
He was obviously not committed from the beginning (three months into the marriage he tells me that he didn’t live his youth, he felt like he missed out and that he wasn’t maybe prepared to be married– I suppose because I told him to pick up his dirty laundry from the floor etc; he’s a momma’s boy), which totally broke my heart,
2) then he texts me one night by mistake something that was supposed to be for his ex ( i was at work, on my way home when he sends me”well, don’t drink too much and have a good night”; I found out who texted him and i told her nicely on facebook that i didn’t appreciate her texting with my husband; i was mad because he realized his mistake, deleted the whole conversation and acted dumd. later on i found out that she was in the area and invited him out for a drink. i think it’s outrageous because she is married too and how come she was in the area at a concert by herself? and knowing that he was now married to me…i mean come on! and after that they still exchanged texts behind my back, supposedly he told her that they will no longer txt and stuff) judge me all you want, but i come from a stricter household/ this is me, but i don’t think it’s okay for them to txt behind my back and him lying and hiding. i mean, it hurts. once you get married, you think you’d be on the same team!
3) even texted (6-7 months into the marriage) to another girl “i still like you a lot too. make sure you delete these messages” to someone who supposedly he liked before marrying me and i think they were supposed to be together. she is in an on-and-off relationship too (7 yrs), but apparently slept with some random guy at work while being broken up with her bf.
4)called this ex-gf three times in a week because she didn’t show up at work and “the workers were worried because they were losing too many nurses in a week”
this may sound dumb to most of you, but i was actually ready to be in a relationship, only to get stepped on. this IS a big deal to me!
it hurts also because he won’t give me any closure on the matter…he never tells me what the truth is about that girl he texted (because what if there were more than just those messages?). he never wanted us to go to therapy. I kicked him out of the house and told him to go back to his mom, he never did…i told him to go confess to a priest at least and get some advice, he never did.
we are doing okay, i love him but i want to be able to trust him completely, i want to dream of having his babies..and right now, i feel like i can’t afford to.
on top of that, he still has the picture of his ex’s child in his wallet. i don’t have anything against the poor kid, but how do i know that it doesn’t bring up any old memories? i mean, her writing is on the back of it…
and on top of that, i just appear as INSECURE to him!! I am not insecure, i wish i just had a clean start, good memories to think about, a great first year of my marriage, a husband whose name I would pronounce smiling….
please advise!
I mean, how do I make a man that doesn’t want to talk just go to therapy? i want to heal once and for all, and he just prefers to act like a cat and cover it up with sand!! it still smells from underneath
Thomas, please tell me why I don’t seem mature! I really want to know what to do!!
No Mercy, you are right that no woman has any obligations towards me..I just thought it was common courtesy not to meet your ex for drinks behind the new wife’s back, that’s all! and I don’t see why I would be psycho, I believe that I was very respectful when I told her in a very nice manner that i didn’t like what she did!!! I believe calling me psycho is a stretch, really!

Some facts that are essential to know throughout the initial couple of weeks of a woman’s Pregnancy. Never have to give precisely much info but something you know that could be assist full or anything at all to be conscious of for the duration of Pregnancy?

Okay, so it starts out like this-
I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year, and overall in the relationship we are fine, it’s his parents that are causing problems. His parents are very old fashioned and say that we “shouldn’t be seeing each other every week”. We use to stay the night every other weekend and they didn’t mind at all, neither of our parents did. Then his mom started saying I had “problems” and that I needed to see a psychologist to balance my brain just because I had depression. The only reason I was upset is because we had to make it “fair” because my boyfriend has a younger brother and sister that never gets to go anywhere, primarily because they have no friends. He has to cook, clean, baby-sit and take care of his parents, and there are days that his parents say he is lazy; and they’re saying we need to make it FAIR? His parents are in their late 30s, so they are not old. Now after I have gone through counseling and his mom DID say that we could go back to the way things were, she told my boyfriend that she wants us to just “see” each other every other weekend. It has been 3 weekends since she told him that, and every time he asks to come up they tell him no for no apparent reason. They won’t let us hang out on Halloween, or even Valentine’s day! We’ve planned to have my boyfriend move in with me at the end of this year, since he’s 17 and he turns 18 in December, but I don’t know how much of this I can take. I’m starting to lash out at him for no reason at all; for stupid things actually. I never use to do this, and I know this is a consequence for what his parents have done to me this past year. It’s been the same thing with them during this entire relationship. We’ve tried getting together and talking to them about it, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other. We even got my parents involved. I love my boyfriend with all my heart, and I don’t want to give up all we have worked for, but what do I do? I don’t think I can wait 1 year for him to move in. I’m so use to having him by my side all the time that I’m becoming very lonely, and I miss being held when I’m sad or stressed. I only get to see him at school, and there they make us stand at least a foot away from each other or we get detention. (Stupid, I know.) I get to hold hands with him at school, but that’s not what I want. I want to just be able to hold him and be held. I’m 16, too. I know young relationships usually don’t last, but I want to cherish what I have with him. I’ve tried meditating, thinking of other things that make me happy, trying to look at the bright side of things, etc. but I just can’t keep this aggression building up away. I use to be very sweet to my boyfriend, and I’d end up being sad when his parents were being jerks, but now I’m so darn angry I lash out all the time. In the past 2 weeks I’ve lashed out at him over 4 times, and I know I don’t mean to. I guess I’m just tired. Please, help? What do I do. What can I do?

Serious answers please, and don’t result in me dumping him because I’m not going to. My shrink doesn’t specialize in relationship help, so I need some different advice.

Ok, here is the story.
Im pregnant. But we had been not telling any individual simply because it might end in miscarriage.
A worker in my medical doctors office took it on herself (sadly, they are an alcoholic and dont know how they have a job) to drunkenly tell a bunch of individuals that I was pregnant.
My household didnt even know but. Im only ten weeks.

I spoke to the medical doctor. Its a private practice. She said she would “speak” to her. Well, a handful of nights later, identical drunk receptionist was complaining that *I* got her in trouble, and whats the massive deal….why retain it a secret.

Due to the fact ITS MY Correct! Thats why.

I spoke to the physician once more. She mentioned she would “see to the situation”.
Upon calling there nowadays, this lady Even now has a task. I am upset. I vented to a couple of buddies and it got back to the health care provider, who called me and is threatening me with a lawsuit of slander. Even the physician mentioned to me “Its NOT a big deal, its JUST a Pregnancy” WTH!!!!!! I assume she is bullying me so I dont sue her practice.

What steps do I want to take? Exactly where do I start? Please, any support. And not just “get a lawyer” as Im on a fixed spending budget. I would just like to have a lot of details to bring to her, proving she is incorrect and that I COULD have a lawsuit but Im just seeking for an apology and the receptionist to loose her occupation.

Please, websites with details? Is there any? Thank you all so significantly. I am so distraught.
