Is it normal for a cat to be in labor for more than 6 hours?

I noticed today shortly after 4:00PM That my pregnant cat, Raven. Has the amniotic sac sticking out. She hasnt been pushing much. She gets very restless and insists that someone is always near her. She hasn't had any kittens yet. I am extremely worried about her. She has had kittens before. and it never took this long. I'm scared for her. Is everything normal am i just over reacting or could something be wrong? Please help I love my kitty :(

Is my girlfriend lying to me about her being raped?

I think her stories were true. It's just that, it happened to her many times now and she just doesn't care. Or maybe she likes it too. Then it wouldn't be called rape. Anyway, go and confront her sister but don't let her know. Although this act would destroy your relationship. just take the risk so that i t would never happen again.

Should I let my mom know who I really am?

She thinks I'm this sweet little girl who's the happiest ever. When in reality, I'm this depressed girl who swears all the time and who's into emo clothes and who has an emo attitude most of the time. I'm not gonna let her know I swear...I would be in sooo much trouble...but I do want to start wearing the kind of clothes that I like. I just think it'd be too surprising for her and I don't know if I should show who I really am. I'm also very into skull designs and she doesn't know that. I just dont know what to do.

I am thinking about having the IUD inserted and wondered if someone could tell me about it?

I have had to come off the pill as it is giving me migraines and the doc has suggested the IUD device (non hormonal). Would appreciate some advice over this as i don;t know much about it.

Parents stalking my facebook, how do I make it stop?

My parents are using some Yahoo tool to stalk my facebook and all my friend's feeds, I already blocked them on FB but somehow they can use this tool to get through. Frankly, what my friends say and do on facebook is NONE of my parent's business, and the fact that they watch over EVERY THING I do and say pisses me off too, say a swear, get in trouble for it, make a post in the early hours, get in trouble for it. Please, someone tell me there is a way to shut them out. All I know is that they're using some yahoo tool to stalk my posts and my friends posts, what is it and how do I shut it down?

Am I the wrong one here?

I'm 17 and at college and my life seems like hell. I feel like crap everywhere I go and sometimes dont leave the house for 2 weeks at atime. I hate to go on but my mum swears at me everyday and makes me feel pathetic and worthless. She says I have nothing wrong. But then she acts nice and talks then I feel guilty and like I overeacted. I want to cut her out of my life, I tell her but she would laugh or not take it seriously. Am I the brat? Please tell me the truth of your thoughts, btw I can't stand people who pity themselves with issues like this because people get killed out there all day and I feel I pity myself sometimes plus it's a sin. Anyway thanks 4 readin.

Should i be concerned or not?

So in the last year my cycle has ranged from 28 days to 33 days long. 30 days has occured most often and only 33 days once. I do not take any hormonal birth control and have been having unprotected sex with a man who has told me he had a vasectomy 5 years ago. Today is day 33 of my cycle(for the second time) and no sign of a period yet. Should I be concerned yet?

Is it bad my period is a week early?

Ive tried 2 other types of pills so ive been taking it for about 9 months give or take a bit. Is this bad? what should i do? also should i stop taking the hormonal pills and jump right to the sugar ones to try to line up my period?

Why is my body telling me to have a baby?

I have always wanted children but when I was about 18 and out of school I started REALLY wanting them. I think that it is a normal thing and it will probably come and go. My urge settled down for awhile till I got married then it came and went some more. Right now I've been married for 3 years and really really want children now but I know that I just have to be patient because things always happen when they are supposed to. I found that if I babysat sometimes it make it better. (especially if they were really bratty kids) I suggest starting a new hobby to distract yourself a little bit.

Woke up wet. Did my water break?

I'm 39 weeks. Yesterday, my panties stayed moist all day, and yesterday evening I had a few of the real labor contractions (not the BH ones). Today when I woke at dawn today, my panties were soaked and my pants were very damp too. It was clear and thin like tap-water. I felt a little trickle when I got up from the bed, but it slowed down and was stopped within maybe 2 hours. Any idea what's going on? Was that amniotic fluid? Why did everything stop? The baby's still kicking as usual.

Tech didn't see babies bladder in Ultrasound?

I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant and they couldn't get a clear picture of the babies bladder so they asked me to do another one in two weeks. Everything else including the amniotic fluid is perfectly normal. Has anyone else gone through this and do you think this is something my husband and I should be really worried about. Please help, my last pregnancy was a miscarriage so I worry about everything this time around.

Do I have hyperhidrosis?

I seem to always sweat through my shirts, only in my underarms, and normally when I'm around people, or outside of the house. I've only tried normal of the shelf anti-ps, (Lynx Dry) I've just turned 16, and I'm not in the best of shape (I'm changing that though). I'm not to keen on going to the doctors either. Do you think its just a hormonal thing? Or hyperhidrosis, Nobody in my family have it, seeing as its mean't to be genetic? Thanks for the help :)

Why has my guy friend been kind of ignoring me?

Hi, I had a guy friend in school, he was one of my best friends actually, and we have been really strong friends for two years. We used to hang out together with our other friends and joke and play fight kind of thing. I don't know what it is but he has been kind of ignoring me for a while. It's not like a phase like 2 weeks or so, it has been around 6 months. I don't know if it is because we moved schools or what but I am really confused. You see, when we first moved school we were still really close. We had an opportunity to pick lab partners and he picked me all the time. At this time i sort of developed a crush over him but he didn't know. And I swear that I didn't tell anybody about this. After about 3 months of our new school our friendship sort of downgraded. He found new friends and starting to hang out with this other girl, which many people say, looks and acts exactly like me. Come to think of it we are almost like twins, exept she puts on quite a lot of make up, I don't mean like a little she looks like a cake face(sorry for being rude.) I noticed after a while she was flirting with him. Every girl notices when a girl flirts because she was hugging him, ruffling his hair and all sorts. He looked really uncomfortable though. When she hugged him, he backs away after a second. Soon he hardly even talked to me. I was lucky enough to get a sentence every two weeks. They started calling eachother best friends and all that. The strange thing is though, when the girl went away for a month he started to joke around and talk to me every day. I felt great but it was really strange. I have also been ill a lot, in and out of school all the time and back and forth to the hospital. He dosen't even turn around to look at me when I laugh anymore. The other week though we were watching a video in school and he was saying all these jokes and that and my friend noticed that he looked at me about 4 times to see if I was laughing, I am really confused thx for listening x :

How can I help fix my irregular periods, depression/mood swings, and overall hormonal imbalance?

It sounds like you metabolism has slowed down. don't worry about it, you are doing the right thing with your weight. 145lbs is not very much but if you feel uncomfortable then you should probably exercise more and eat healthy, Keep in mind that you probably grew since you were 14 and a bit of weight gain is normal.

My daughter is 17 weeks pregnant, has bled heavily and today been told their is no fluid but strong heartbeat?

My daughter is 17 weeks pregnant and started bleeding yesterday. The bleeding was significant and after a scan today has been informed there is no amniotic fluid however the heart beat is strong. They have informed her that they will scan her again next week. I'm concerned because today she collapsed while in hospital and was given antibiotics due to an infection after a high temp was discovered. The doctors have not discussed implications/risks of carrying on with pregnancy and I do wonder if they are just waiting for her to miscarriage. I believe in individual rights and being in possession of full facts. I'm concerned that my daughter will not be told of the risks such as abnormalities, non lung development due to docs role to save rather than terminate life. I don't want her waiting another week to be told theres nothing they can do and will have to wait until a stillbirth. Would they ask if she wanted a termination? I'm petrified that she is at more risk. Thanks

If i am on pretrial diversion can i finish and submit the paperwork for my suppressor (class 3 firearms)?

i'm on pretrial diversion (been charged not convicted) for criminal damage to property 2nd degree. classified as a felony at the beginning but on my forms the probation officer guy filled it out as a misdemeanor. the stipulations are that i stay in the PTD program under the supervision of said prob. officer for a year. i am to complete 40 hrs of community service and complete the drug and alcohol assessment to see if i am an addict. i already did the D&A assessment and i need no treatment. so would i need to wait until the 12 months is up to file my paperwork so it doesn't get denied? my lawyer says he thinks i am ok to do it now. i just don't want to leave my supp. at the gun store anymore. paid it off in august last year then got in trouble and had to get them to stop the paperwork. please don't refer me to the ATF as all they do is transfer your phone call around in a circle until you get an answering machine that they apparently don't listen to messages from. basically only if you have legitimate knowledge of this subject should you respond. i swear if anybody says silencers are illegal to own im gonna crap a brick.

TTC for year, Insurance wont cover infertility.. Please HELP!?

Me and my husband were all set up to see a fertility specialist and then I called my insurance to see if i could get the referral number to put on my paper work for the fertility specialist. Well they then told me that I can not see a fertility specialist, that its not covered. ( I have CIGNA HMO) I was so upset. I have such irregular periods. I can go 4 months without one sometimes, then sometimes one month or maybe 2 or 3. it is not one of those "irregular" periods that some people have where they get them every 2 months...its NOT REGULAR AT ALL! I also have an issue that i have a lot of discharge and I dont know why and it worries me that it could kill the sperm or slow them down. Also when my husband does come in me he will hold in for at least a minute but as soon as he pulls out it all come right out, i dont even have to stand up i can be laying there. ( AND yes people I know they say it has to come out! but I know that a lot of people it come out over the next few days or even the next few hours, but it ALL comes out immediatley!!!) Its just so frustrating because I now can not go to the doctor to actually know whats wrong with me. My husband always comes in me for like the past year. And nothing... I Just want to know if anyone has had the same experience and what they did and if they go pregnant. or how they regulated their period. I have also read Vitex/ chaste tree berry can regulate you..... well i took this for several months and it made no change in me. I think it may be a hormonal issue because Im 23 and I still break out, I also have irregular hair growth ( like around my nipples and my upper lip) I know sometimes this can be a thyroid issue but i have been tested for that.. PLEASE, someone help me figure this out!!!!

Need help with bestfriend?

my best friend is 12 and I'm 13 and she's started hanging out with these heavy metal people at school. I really don't mind her doing it but they are all like year 11 and stuff.. And ever since she's been with them she swears all the time and plays metal on her phone whenever school finishes and it can be embarrasing because she'll go completely mental and start running round. She acts like a 5 year old :/ And she's still my best friend but I've grown older and I really don't like running around like she does, or having no shame whatsoever like she does. Plus she phoned me up today nearly crying because she'd "accidently" dropped a knife on her wrist or something and was really scared her mum would think she's self harming. And she said it was a tiny cut, and it was a crafting knife she dropped on it. But I'm worried that she's will start harming herself to impress all these people she hangs out with because some of them harm themselfs too, and she already acts, dresses and listens to the same music as them.It's just weird because one moment she was listening to girly music and the next she's dressing in black and hanging out with all these people.. I'm just worried because 1. She'll get made fun of (she already does tbh) 2. It's so embarrasing to be with her even those she's my best friend and 3. she'll start harming herself to fit in.. I know for a fact she is the happiest person EVER but she makes friends with anyone and will do anything to make them like her. She dosne't really have any commen sense, I don't know what to do :S Help?

Am I leaking amniotic fluid?

So im 35 weeks pregnant. As of monday I have been getting a lot of clear odorless discharge. It has no smell to it either. I asked my doctor and he said to call if it became irritating to the skin or started to smell. Its been 3 days and im still constantly leaking something and my underwear constantly feels soaked. I started to put a paper towel or napkin down there and notice that sometimes it has a tint of yellow to it but mostly is clear. Should I call my doctor again?

What do you think about this? babies?

There are many reasons why fetuses are aborted. Financial instability, not emotionally ready, fetus is the product of rape. These are some reasons why abortion is an option. Abortion can be avoided by giving the baby for adoption. This would save the life of a child.

Pink discharge in 3rd trimester of pregnancy?

i am 30 weeks pregnant and lately i have been having a lot of pinkish tan discharge. Its kind of thick and it has little pieces of tissue looking pieces in it. I know its not toilet paper because even after a shower the tissue pieces are still there. The other night i had really bad cramps and it was after sex that i notices the discharge dripping out. The next day it went away and was clear or a bit yellowish. NOw today it is pink/tan Again. Does anybody know why this is. The doctors tested it to see if it was amniotic fluid and she said that when the cervix starts to ripen that the discharge would change, but i am still wondering whats going on. Could it be pieces of my mucus plug? Please help, i am going back to the dr in a few days so don't write for me to call my mw.

How fast do amniotic fluid levels increase in pregnant women?

If you're "on the high end of normal" (i.e. 23cm at 22 weeks), is there a basic rule-of-thumb like 1cm per week increase (or something like that) where at 30 weeks levels will be a dangerous ~30cm????

Idk what it means, one bo said to me : '''YOU'RE JUST HORMONAL" WHAT MEANSSSS HELP!!?

Hormones drive emotional states. To be upset, easily perturbed or just in a foul mood are emotions which the term hormonal attributes to hormones.

Nothing religious but why do many people (and all atheists) say that MASTURBATION is harmless when?

You are probably one among the majority of people who don't sleep enough, and that tires you out to the point that you ought to be in bed or at least preparing to go to bed when you do it.

Best friends crazy mother! help i want to hang out with my best friends?

My two best friends are twins...they have a crazy mother, she swears like a sailor even at me she gets mad easily and flips out I have so many stories I could share with you but ill try to keep this short and sweet, so lately she has been getting more and more crazy, the twins are extremely nice girls and don't do anything bad(like drugs, or drink, or sex, stuff like that) and there parents mainly there mom finds something to ground them like if there grade goes below a 90 then they get grounded for the week or if there mom is in a bad mood she will purposely irrate them till they get mad and yell at her then she take there car, and all communications and they kant hang out with friends I probably hang out with them like 3 times a month and I'm there best friend!! So the 2nd till last day of school they decided to skip they asked me but I had a test so I just told them no(this was there first time skipping ever) the only reason they did this is bcuz they didn't have anything that day and thought why not but there parents found out and there mom went crazy and they have ben grounded so far for 2weeks! They know what they did was wrong but its not even that big of a deal, its not lilke they skipped to go smoke some drugs they skipped to go shopping! So she called my mom and they talked about it and my mom went along with everything just because she doesn't want to start anything and there mom lied about everything to make herself look good as a mom. Anyways so tonite one of the twins got on fb really fast and said we prolly won't be able to hang out bcuz there mom said that she doesn't wany me to ever go over to there house bcuz I don't respcet her..idont get it I have never done anything to disrespect her as much as I hate her guts I have always ben nice to her even when she is in my face screaming at me, its summer vk and I want to hang out with my best friends,I don't know what to do would it be a bad idea to tlk to her nicely and ask what her problem is with me?

Went to 20 wk scan and baby too small!?

I had the same thing, they booked me in for extra scans to keep her monitored. If she drops off the growth line or they aint happy with her growth they may book u in for a c section but they'l keep her in you for aslong as poss first. Try and make sure ur drinking plenty of fluid and eating a healthy balanced diet, I improved mine and my baby gained enough weight for me to go full term now :)

Trouble sleeping, stomach hurts and feels like its on fire?

I'm 8 months pregnant, and woke up tonight feeling like my stomach was on fire, plus it feels like I'm about to burst and its painful. The only place on me that's burning up is my stomach. Is this normal? And is it normal after having two c sections, having complete placenta previa and high amniotic fluid, to feel like my stomach is so tight that it hurts?

Could this be my waters leaking or am I being silly?

It probably isn't you are probably just leaking a bit of urine. My water broke and it was only a small leak and I could not stop it but, it wasn't just if I had coughed either.

Are my friends right when they say it's my fault and that i brought upon myself by coming out?

No, I think you're right to be mad at him. Being gay isn't some stupid gossip for someone to spread around, it's a big part of who you are. Coming out to one person, especially a close friend, just means you want someone to talk to about it so you don't have to keep it all inside anymore, not that you wanna tell the whole world

Is it normal to have girl crushes? (as a girl)?

Can one make out with a girl one day and be straight another? How do I know if I am normal hormonal expiremental teenage girl and being a bisexual? In seventeen magazine there was a article called "is it a girl crush..or more" have any girls made out with other girls? Help I'm soo confused..

3rd trimester discharge?

I am 36 weeks today, and for the past couple of days I have noticed a lot of clear (sometimes white-ish) oder less discharge. It's enough that if I don't wear a panty liner it will run down my leg. I also have contractions every once in a while..sometimes I notice them sometimes I don't. With my first child I leaked amniotic fluid without even knowing and had to be induced because there was hardly any left when they did an ultra sound. IDK if I should go in (my doc isn't in the office for the next 2 days) or just wait till my appointment on Wed.

Leaking Amniotic Fluid?

All of this information warrants a call to your OB/GYN; even if you have to call the doctor on call. I sounds more like you may be experience the lose of your mucus plug, but it is better to discuss this with your doctor to be sure. Decreased fetal movement often resutls in a check at you Labor & delivery dept. You will be attached to the fetal heart monitor for about 20 mins to 1 hour to assess the baby's heart rate. 8 is okay for 38 weeks, but if you have that feeling that something is a little off...it is better to be safe rather that sorry later. Best of luck to you and your baby!

I still have my period but I think I could be pregnant?

I have a 13 month old so I feel silly for even asking, my daughter's dad's girlfriend is pregnant and last time I was over there he said me and her were both moody. He added that I had put on weight. I talk to his girlfriend all the time and she asked me what I was eating and I told her pasta noodles with squash and salsa. She asked if I was sure I wasn't pregnant. I'm pretty sure I'm not, my boyfriend is in jail and has been for 4 months so I would be at least 4 months along. I have been having my period and I have had a child before so I know what being pregnant feels like. I started thinking though, I am having discharge similar to when I was pregnant the first time. My stomach is hard not just after I eat and the other night I was pushing on my stomach and I swear something moved, I brushed it off as gas but I never passed any. So many things are so much like when I was pregnant other than I am having my period. I took a test in February that came back negative, I am thinking of taking another test. I was on the pill till about 2 months ago, could that have anything to do with bleeding if I am in fact pregnant?

Social phobia agoraphobia?

I'm 17 and at college and my life seems like hell. I feel like crap everywhere I go and sometimes dont leave the house for 2 weeks at atime. I hate to go on but my mum swears at me everyday and makes me feel pathetic and worthless. She says I have nothing wrong. But then she acts nice and talks then I feel guilty and like I overeacted. I want to cut her out of my life, I tell her but she would laugh or not take it seriously. Am I the brat? Please tell me the truth of your thoughts, btw I can't stand people who pity themselves with issues like this because people get killed out there all day and I feel I pity myself sometimes plus it's a sin. Anyway thanks 4 readin.

Amniotic Egg VS. Amniotic Sac?

Humans have an amniotic sac where as birds have an amniotic egg. They're essentially the same thing with a few minor variations

Is there something wrong with me?

Aw love, you are completely normal! Loads of girls are like this. You just get attached easily and you shouldnt think of it as such an awful thing. It just shows that you are a caring person who want to love and be loved. Embrace it and relax :)

Can taking birth controll over a period of time make you infertile?

A friend of mine told me that her sister has been to to several different Doctors who have told her that by taking BC pills over the course of 10 years it has made her infertile. I have researched this on the internet and every website i have gone to says that this isnt possible but my friend swears by it. Has anyone else heard of this?

Am I leaking Amniotic Fluid?

I am 6 weeks pregnant and every once in a while I will have a gush of clear watery liquid come out. This is my third child and I honestly dont remember this happening with my other two. I do have a UTI right now and im on antibiotics. So what im wondering is is this discharge normal or not? how do I know if its amniotic fluid or not?

Birth control and spotting?!?

Yesterday was my last day of the hormonal pill and before i took it i noticed some brownish discharge. I was planning on skipping the white pills and starting the pink becasue im going away and really didnt wanna be on my period! So can i still start the hormonal pills today like i was going to or am i going to mess things up. (also today it was a little more red like period but still not much)

So my baby can taste what i'm eating thru the amniotic fluid?

I was just at the movies, and ate a bunch of popcorn and cherry coke. that was like an hour ago. I haven't eaten or drank anything since.. So is it still in there? Can my baby keep tasting it? Or does it like filter out?

Castor oil to induce labor?

I am 39 weeks pregnant and absolutely miserable (as most women are at this point in pregnancy). I have been in false labor a few times and ready to go! I am about a cm dilated. My doctor is going to strip my membranes Monday and I would like to go a more non-invasive way. I walk, stimulate my nipples and everything else. I have started the evening primrose oil and raspberry leaf tea. I am more interested in castor oil. On one hand, I hear that it works. On the other hand, I hear that it can cause meconium to go into the amniotic sac. Wondering how effective/ safe castor oil is. Any midwives around? Looking for someone who is not just clinical/ medical. Thanks.

5 weeks late with light pink period spotting?

So my period is almost 5 weeks late, taken constant pregnancy tests all of which have said negative, however yesterday and today I have experienced a very pale pink light flow, too light to use a tampon and only really present when I wipe. Could this be my extremely late period? Extremely late implanting bleeding or what? I'm 22 years old and a healthy weight, have had regular periods all my life. I am sexually active with my partner and we do use condoms but there's always a chance one could of broke. I am not currently on any hormonal birth control. Any advice would be appreciated.

Should i continue beating my pregnant wife?

At xbox games? I keep beating her at COD and she's really hormonal about it. Should i just give her a few chances to win or do you think it wont really effect her if i carry on winning?

How should I get on alone at school?

if she was truley your bff then you would not want to go on with out her. even though i know that you could. its hard not to have many friends in school. but if you guys are or were friends then dont go on with life or in school alone when you guys can have eachother. dont make this a big focuss and talk to her and if she cant forgive you right then and there then just give her some time and let her come to you , when she is ready. if you realy were her bff adn considered her as one then dont break it off just too prove that you can go on without her because in the end there will come a time when you both need eachother. i dont know if this helped but good-luck :)

I think my water broke yesterday?

Okay so I asked yesterday if you guys thought it was my water or not. I also asked a couple of mom friends their opinions and everybody seem to think so, as did I. I went to L&D and they did a swab test basically and said it wasn't amniotic fluid and sent me on my way. It wasn't like a steady flow of liquid coming out, it was just a leak. I just chalked it up to being pregnant. But now it's continuing, I'm still leaking and I'm concerned because if it was my water my baby could be at risk. Has anyone else had this? Did it end up being your water breaking, but just leaking out instead of everything gushing out at once?

I hate my mother, you HAVE to read this, it is all real!?

I hate my mother so much, you seriously have to read this and think if it is normal. No question surrounds that my mother and i have never seen eye to eye. I am a straight a student, achived 3a*s and 8a's at GCSE and 4 A's at A level. My mother's response to me doing well after my sociology a level and getting an a was not well done son but rather i got an a in sociology in the most spiteful and harsh tone ever. Before my a level exam actually it was my mother's day off and she had already said she would not be taking me to school as she wanted a lie in. That was fine, i got the bus to and fro school for every exam and so it didnt bother me, however the way she acted this day really pissed me off. My exam was actually at 2 and she couldnt be bothered to even get out of bed at even 1 o'clock to drive me to school but the reason she would not get out of bed is because i could vividly and clear as day hear her having sex with her boyfriend. I had an important a level exam and my mother refused to take me at 1 o'clcok in the afternoon because she was too busy having sex, surely that's not right!?!. I confronted her about this and her response to this was not i'm sorry but rather, and i quote as i can remember, "it's my house, not your's, i will do what i fuc**ing want". I was ten minutes late for my exam because i had to get the bus but i couldnt even be bothered with the hassle of telling her. 3 days later, i woke up for school and she had left for work, i went in to the bathroom and she had left a used condom in the toilet present for everyone to see, including my 14 year old brother, absolutely disgusting. Her response to this was again, "its my ******ing house, i will do what the fu*k i want". My brother needed the bathroom so i had to fish a used condom out of the toilet. Obviously i confronted her about this and she literally went off on the biggest rant i have ever witnessed, swearing left right and centre, when i was talking to her in a manner, raised as it was due to what she had did, never swearing at her. She has also came down the stair's on christmas day with her dressing gown wide open as she was drunk from the night before. She has done this several times and one time she answered the door to my friend, who was then 15 with here dressing gown, as usual wide open, with everything on show and when i tell her to put some clothes on she constantly for some uknown reason tells me to fu**k off and stop trying to be her dad. This is not the behaviour of a woman functioning normally surely. My brother has also witnessed her having sex with her bedroom door wide open at 9 o'clock in the evening and my brother said her boyfriend (her 2nd boyfriend out of 6 in a space of 6 years actually looked at him and just carried on. My brother was in tears and came into my room. My mother accused him of lying saying he was making it up even though she could be heard clearly even downstairs and he would not lie or make up a story about such a thing. The amount of times my mother has said that she wished i never lived in the house and that she didnt have to know me can not be counted. She talks to me like i am subhuman and near enough every day, every couple of hours tells me to fu**k off and launches into a torrent of abuse for god knows reasons. The very moment i am writing this for instance, just two hours earlier, beacuse i have no money as i am saving up for univeristy and am in the limbo between exam results and university and so can not realisticly find a job that will be happy to employ me and get rid of me in 2 months, i couldnt go out today as i have no money. She launched with abuse about how i have no friends and go fu**k off and live somewhere else. This is commonplace, she constantly swears it me and i cannot honestly remeber the last time she has talked to me without swearing at me, i dont swear at her, you have to believe me, i really dont. This is not normal, i didnt even say anything to her to induce anything! She constantly lowers my self esteem as well and always makes me feel self conscious about my weight and appeareance. On one occasion she said to me do you think your good looking and i replied i'm average i suppose to which, my mother laughed and said something under her breath. This post contains just a small number of incidents with my, and i hate to say it, my mother. I can not begin to express the hundereds of other times she has done stuff like this. On a final note, i will talk about how the last time she has took me and my brother on holiday was when i was 10 years old. I understand she doenst have alot of money but the thing is she has been on holiday every year since with one of her many boyfriends. Do you guys think what i have said in this post is how a normal mother behaves. You have to believe me, i really not am lying, i am not that type of person. Everything i have said here is real. What do you guys think of

Chances my baby will be born early??? Help!!?

It doesn't necessarily mean your baby will arrive early but you should be on a 'high risk' pregnancy warning as you may need an emergency c-section if your placenta isn't complete and it is low lying the chance of having a full term natural birth is quite slim. You probably will end up having your baby delivered early by c-section.

We are only friends with benefits, why is he pissed at me?

Yeah of course he doesn't want a relationship with you. Rubbish. He's not admitting he does in case you don't want that and he ends up looking like a fool but he behaves like a jealous boyfriend because that's exactly what he is. Wakey-wakey. Friends with benefits includes sex I assume and that in turn creates emotional attachment whether you like it or not. Just ask him out and be done with it.

My dogs fur is changing colors?

i have a two year old maltipoo. she is all white with very soft and curly fur. about two months ago we got her fixed(moms decision)and she started growing little scraggly brown hairs on her back she keeps growing more of them to where she has light brown patches on her. could it be a hormonal thing and are there ways to stop it?

What to do if a guy (who is a player) seems really sweet at first but then looks for getting "one thing"?

There's this guy at my school, who has never spoken to me ever until now while im waiting for myself to take the state exams, i have this really instictive gut feeling that something about him at first was definitely not right, and then when i soon heard and realized what kind of person he really was well then it made me come to think that judging a player doesnt neccesarly mean they are bad people, they just have issues with dealing or commiting to just one thing, and so i decided that maybe just being "friends or distant" friends would be better than just ignoring them completely, and a person told myself they seem very sweet at first but then later on they get mean and rude, and start getting all hormonal and everything, and so i dont know exactly what to do?

Dont know if I'm the Father?

Its definitely suspect. I would say after the child is born if you still are unsure get a paternity test.

Birth control and extremley heavy periods!?

On my last day of my first pack of pills i started a light period. I was planning on skipping the white pills becasue i am going away and didnt want a period so i started the next pack. My period didnt go away and it is extremely heavy, heavier then its ever been. What do i do! is it going to go away should i stop taking the hormonal pills for a few days!? im 15 and never have had sex

I don't know whether or not I like him back. I'm under pressure.?

I don't think u should do it! it sounds like ur not really ready. I think u should wait to find the right guy first, someone that have u have stong feelings for. Sounds like this guy is just wanting to use u for sex...Good luck!

Where can I find those long skinny hoodies?

My professor (Who I swear looked way younger than any of us in class) had these really cute hoodies that were long (they went to her shin) and skinny (fitted). Then I saw them worn in a korean drama. Where in the USA or online could I buy one? Do they have a specific name other than hoodie? I don't like the short and baggy hoodies that stores have to offer. Please and thank you :D

I need some family help stat!!?

It's been almost a month since i got into a fight my cousin and i said some things i didn't mean. It wasn't my fault i was hormonal and yet she thinks i'm the bad guy here. I have no clue what to do here?

Why is my mom so mean for no reason?

She calls me dumb and annoying. Like if I am doing chores( which I do voluntarily with no reminders or rewards) and i don't know where something goes she says I am just dumb and will never be able to function in th real world etc etc. She does buy me stuff I want, but I don't really ask for much. When I was little and I would get a large amount of money and put it somewhere safe she would almost always come and take it when I was at school without even asking me. She would always say she needed it to pay bills or pay for a camp I was doing. After a while of her doing this I started to get annoyed and would tell her that she needed to ask for it and that she shouldn't take my money and she called me a spoiled brat. she doesn't take the money I earn though from working and babysitting though. I take care of the family cat, i wash dishes, and i clean when stuff needs it. The only thing i don't do is laundry and cooking. Still, my mom calls me a lazy pig. I think she is angry because she has this hormonal disorder. I can see how she would feel depressed about having it, but does she have to take it out on me? Is it normal for a mom to act this way?

What is wrong with my friend?

Ok, today a lot of things happened. I got into a fight with my best friend because he thought i was rubbing my gf in his face, which I wasnt. He kept sending me messages on my phone and over xbox live cursing me off and trying to make me jealous of him, which he failed horribly at. He would not stop, so we fought and I broke his nose and beat him up pretty badly. So, after the fight, he came to apologize to me, and I accepted it because it was a good apology. Now, I found out that he is hitting on my gf and saying things like I love you too her and trying to break us up. I swear, he is one more word from me beating him up again if he doesnt stop. What should I do, should I actually beat him up again.

I had sex with my ex girlfriend on march 22, I used protection but it broke. She told me that she is pregnant ?

I had sex with my ex girlfriend on march 22, I used protection but it broke. She told me that she is pregnant and a blood test showed her at thirteen weeks and gave her a due date of December 19 just a week ago. On Friday she went to the Dr and they told her she's due December 6 and that she's 15 and a half weeks. I asked her if she's still sure its mine and she said yes because the blood test are more accurate that sonograms because sonograms are based on measurements and you never know how babies will grow. She also said a couple weeks ago amniotic fluid was gushing out but then told me it was not enough to worry about. I'm very confused about the whole thing.

How to fix extremely low sex drive?

I'm a girl. I have this other question about not likin orgasms if you want to check that out. I'm 26 never taken any form of birth control in my life and never plan to. I've had partners but they've left since I was never up for it. I've tried but it's not my thing. I am not lez, I still have crushes on guys every once a while but that's it. The only thing I ever want from a crush is a kiss nothing more. Please don't criticize I know it's different and I have been checked for hormonal imbalance. I don't have one

When will my breast milk start coming in?? Will I be able to breast feed?

Fenugreek is an herb that is supposed to help with breast milk supply. The tea is most likely lots of fenugreek. I took it while I fed my son since my supply was low with my first child. It maybe helped a little. The only side effect is that you smell like pancake syrup. No kidding. I went to a lactation specialist and they measured my milk that I was getting for my son and it was only 2 ounces and then I'd have to pump after I fed him. I would have to feed him every two hours and pump afterwards as well. She said that some women just don't have the "storage space" for milk. Which has nothing to do with size. Weird. I fed him that way for about 3 months and then supplemented and he was a much happier baby when I started supplementing and then finally started gaining weight. If you have to supplement, don't feel bad, it's just the way some of us are, plus you don't want to neglect your first just to feed your second, thats what I felt I was doing with all the feedings and pumping it was crazy and my first was MAD.

Players? Why me? Why do I alway for the players?

Cause you're stupid. Sorry but it's the honest truth. Why would anyone want a player and get their feelings hurt?

My period might be late...?

So in the last year my cycle has ranged from 28 days to 33 days long. 30 days has occured most often and only 33 days once. I do not take any hormonal birth control and have been having unprotected sex with a man who has told me he had a vasectomy 5 years ago. Today is day 31 of my cycle and no sign of a period yet. Should I be concerned yet?

Social anxiety agoraphobia?

I'm 17 and at college and my life seems like hell. I feel like crap everywhere I go and sometimes dont leave the house for 2 weeks at atime. I hate to go on but my mum swears at me everyday and makes me feel pathetic and worthless. She says I have nothing wrong. But then she acts nice and talks then I feel guilty and like I overeacted. I want to cut her out of my life, I tell her but she would laugh or not take it seriously. Am I the brat? Please tell me the truth of your thoughts, btw I can't stand people who pity themselves with issues like this because people get killed out there all day and I feel I pity myself sometimes plus it's a sin. Anyway thanks 4 readin.

My water appears to have broken but tests show thats not the case. anyone have a similar situation?

OK don't mean to gross you out, but did you do the sniff test? Urine smells like ammonia and amniotic fluid is sorta sweet. If it continues and you lose more fluid from down there, go back to L&D. Make sure the nurse is testing what's coming out of your vagina and not what's left on the skin or undies.

What rights does a mother have getting full custody?

My friend is going to court for custody decision about her 3 yr old daughter. She now has split custody with her daughter's father, he takes her half the week, & she has her the other half. His live-in girlfriend is absolutely crazy, she swears a lot, screams a lot, she breaks things when she's angry, she starts fights with everyone, she smokes pot every day, she & this little girl's father got pulled over with a DWI & possession of marijuana a while ago. She bad mouths my friend and her roommate on Facebook, sends nasty texts, etc... My friend doesn't do anything back to her. She doesn't drink, smoke, party, she never swears in front of her kids (she also has a 7 yr old son), she takes her kids to church every Sunday, but her ex is an atheist. How do you decide what belief system to go by when both parents have opposite views? My friend is just not ever retaliating. But she wants what's best for her daughter, and doesn't feel that his girlfriend is fit to be an influence around her daughter. Can she get full custody with this info I provided? (NY)

Amniotic fluid or urine? 32wks pregnant?

Im sorry if this is dumb but I took a nap I woke up with cramps and I went to the br n my panties were wet not soaked but wet...how do u tell the difference. It didnt really have asmell

Mature answers please. Is this possible? ?

Most likely, the Plan B has interfered with your cycle. This has happened before to me & my boyfriend (as we also have unprotected sex). In a few days, take another pregnancy test & see how it comes out. If your discharge returns to normal color & you start to feel normal again, it was a just a side effect from the pill. They can really make your vagina go crazy. If you really feel the need to consult with a professional, then take a visit to your OBGYN, but most likely this is just a side effect chain reaction from the Plan B on top of you freaking out about the possibility of pregnancy. There should be nothing to worry about.

Which of the following is the weakest parallel cases in evolution?

I'd say D. Leaves are primarily energy-gathering organs, while hairs are primarily protective... they seem to be the least related. All the others involve solving somewhat similar problems in somewhat similar ways.

Can i be leaking amniotic fluid?

I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and early i had a panty liner on. When i stood up, i felt a little gush. Then i went to the bathroom to check the liner and there was fluid on there, it looked like there was a tint of yellow. There was no smell to it. So then i changed into another panty liner. 30 mins later i checked and it was also wet. Now, i have no panty liner on, i would find wet spots on my panties. Of course the whole underwear isnt wet, but its just a wet spot. I swear to god its not pee, because if it was i would know. Do you think this could be amniotic fluid?its been every 30 min that i find a spot on my undies.

Hit in the stomach while 13 weeks pregnant?

A girl I was arguing with hit me in the stomach.. I'm slightly overweight to begin with so I have some fat to cushion the blow. It glanced off somewhat and didn't knock the breath out of me, but it was hard enough to hurt. I'm hoping my stomach muscles mostly absorbed the impact, right now my stomach is sore but there is no bruising or anything. I just made an appointment with the doctor, but until I get in I'm just worried and looking for feedback. Is the baby still cushioned enough by amniotic fluid at this point that it should be okay? :(

Is it just me or my hormones acting crazy?

It is normal. Maybe he bought you something special and isn't telling You so he can surprise you.just simply ask when he gets back why he didn't get you anything

I cut myself and i dont know what to do..?

go to doctors about this. you might have depression if you are they might put u on antidepresents to help you feel much happy and tell them about yourt cutting and see if they can do something about it

Amniotic fluid or normal discharge?

Last night I began to notice my underwear were damp. I would change them and then a couple hours later the new pair would be slightly wet. There's no color to the fluid but yesterday was a horrible day and I was very upset. I seemed to leak more when I cried. It doesn't smell foul and there isn't alot of it. I am 25 weeks pregnant. I am a little concerned about my child's survival rate if I were to deliver this week... I only get a little tiny gush every few hours but it doesnt feel like a lot. I probably am just leaking urine or something. Just wondering what everyone thinks and what my sons odds would be. I am getting ready to go to the doctor so dont just tell me to see a doctor

Guys: Opinions on Breast Implants?(Fake)?

Whats your opinion on breast implants. Do you think it makes someone "Fake"? Why do you like/dislike them? I would be getting them because I have a hormonal problem where they change in size too drastically and I am wanting implants to change that. What is your take?

Does anyone agree call of duty is old and overrated?

i mean ovverated in both ways. If they took out some of the swearing it should be rated T. I've played it but it honestly isn't fun at all. It was fun for a week but... I prefer GTA

Has anyone's baby been born in the amniotic sac?

No real reason I'm asking but when I was in labor with my son they didn't break my water until about half an hour before delivery(Probably 8-9 cm). Just wondering if any woman did delivery their children while still in the sac? I kinda think my son would have been born in his if they didn't break my water, and I know it's just a superstition and I don't believe it but I've always heard babies born within their amniotic sac are "good luck babies" lol Any woman had their babies born in the sac? And how did it differ from a baby born outside of the sac?

How to convince my mom to let me have COD?

I really want it, all my friends have it. My mom doesn't like that there is shooting, swears and torture in the game? Please tell me how I can convince my mom to let me have that game! And don't give any answers like you're too young for it, i need answers that help!

Has anyone had an elective c-section due to size?

My friend had to have one because of extra fluid. Her baby was transverse, and she's the one who figured it out! He was transverse (laying side to side) and the doctors didn't catch it in the ultrasound, but she did.

Can sperm burrow through an amniotic sac?

I was wondering.. Since sperm can burrow through an egg and they travel until they reach the egg (or die on the way) is it possible that they can actually burrow through an existing baby's amniotic sac while still in the uterus?

What oral acne medication can I take while on Mirena?

I am on Mirena birth control (IUD) and since I have been off the pill my acne has flared up like crazy. While on the pill, I pretty much had no acne. Now I feel horribly disfigured. Are there any oral acne medications I can take while using Mirena (which is a hormonal IUD). Can I get a prescription for low levels of estrogen? Just wondering.

Am I leaking amniotic fluid...? 38 weeks along.?

This is so gross, but my discharge down there the last couple of days has a totally different smell to it.... it almost smells like alcohol or when you get a perm... that strong smell. No idea why! I will be 38 weeks tomorrow.

Could my aunt get custody of me?

u can divorce ur dad and ur aunt can get custody of u or ur dad could sign his rites over to ur aunt

Can you try and help please?

I can't stand bulling myself. I have seen some really bad bullying in my day and I know how you feel that you can't really do anything without being jeopardized yourself. In your case I think you should try to befriend him, let him know that you want to be his friends and want to be his friend for WHO HE IS not just because you feel sorry for him. Try subtle things so that he knows that you are not making fun of him. You say you have classes together, pretend to you didn't catch what the homework was and ask him, or ask him for help on some homework. Once he starts seeing that you have nice intentions invite him again to sit next to you, introduce him to your friends and let him hang out with you guys, people will be less likely to bully him if he is surrounded with friends. If all else fails you should talk to the teachers or principal about it or your parents, tell them what is going on so they can talk to the teachers at school. Well I hope this helps.

Do they send you back home after Amniotic membrane rupture?

.......Am I Pregnant?......?

My periods skip on me a lot, but it has been almost 5 weeks since my last one. I have been feeling the need to barf for almost 3 days now, when I think of any kind of food or smell any kind of food I want to hurl. I get up every 1 1/2 hour at night to use the rest room and I have been very snappy to my boy friend. My breasts have grown and are heavier then before, and my nips hurt like hell whenever I touch them or even put a bra on. But I am not craving any kind of food, and other then being snappy and pissy with my boyfriend I do not feel "hormonal sexually" like I was the last time I was pregnant. I dont really have the money right now to buy a 14-25 dollar birth control test because we just moved from LA to Iowa City and I have better things to spend money on....like food I am to discussed to eat but must if I dont want to starve... please let me know your thoughts.

If your waters have broke?PLEASE answer?

Do you have to have lost your plug first, How long can it trickle for and can you leak amniotic fluid without loosing your plug?

Wife was on the pill 20 years, now taking progesterone for high estrogen levels.?

Different women respond to different hormones differently, so there's no set thing. For example, progesterone is a downer and estrogen is an upper. Your wife might be angry because she feels depressed from the progesterone, I suppose. Or it could be she's angry due to the high estrogen. It's hard to say. My recommendation is to talk to her and bring her attention to her hostile and abusive behavior. Because that's not OK. It's not an excuse to say your hormones are out of whack.

Leaking amniotic fluid or not?? 39 weeks pregnant?

I had sex last night and about an hour later i felt my knickers were damp. It was just drips that came out and a few more again today. Im not sure is it amniotic fluid, it is colourless but there is a smell of it. Also had a few strong pains throughout the day but nothing since. any advice on whats goin on?

SOY benefits & negatives?

if you have personal experience of soy foods, what were the negatives of it? there is a lot of bad rep about it, how it causes intestinal and hormonal problems...

Im 29, just had a baby 4 mo ago, think im having ppd, and pmdd, could i become bipolar at this age? ?

Ok so I noticed I have been having a hard time with depression, already being on ad, after this baby. I had a somewhat good pregnancy, besides normal preg emotional problems. But my last two periods I have noticed allsymptoms of depression and anxiety like 2 days prior through 2 or 3 days after really bad, then they ease up through the rest of the month. Except if something like my drinking partner stresses me out, I get anxiety. I am already on an ad for almost seven yeses, which I think has been working pretty well since my environmental issues are not that great all the time. But sometimes I wake up and and start questioning myself right away, am I going to enjoy anything today? Do I feel depressed or anxious? But most days it gets better as day goes by and I try and get out of the house. Have an eight yr old, 4 yr old to entertain. Which is good cause I feel like I wouldn't care about getting out at all. My sleep has been haywire since everyone likes to stay up till 10 or 11 pm and my new baby likes to wake up at 630 am. I get a real bad case of insomnia like 2 days when my period starts. Which my mind just goes non stop with anxious thoughts and I can actually relax my body but not my mind. And then on my period I feel out of it, rundown, depressed, anxious, I can't even think properly, my brain is mush. I don't remember it being this bad but then again I didn't get my period for 9 mo. So I don't want to increase or change my meds if this is situational. But with my moods or energy its weird, I seriously started Googling bipolar cause I felt like I was losing my mind, then I starred obsessing over if I was becoming crazy, and oh boy that gets my anxiety going. I have started seeing a therapist, but he can only see me every two weeks. I'm really thinking its hormonal but I don't remember it being this bad with my other pregnancies. I get no support from spouse except that he does work, he can't handle the new baby, she's been colicky.

Random "small" gush at 36 weeks pregnant?!?

I was just filling up the dishwasher and i felt a warm gush. I looked and it wasn't completely clear like amniotic fluid is. It was mostly clear but had some milky white through it. It also wasn't a whole lot, im guessing maybe a few table spoons? It also had no scent what so ever. Im going to ask my doctor about this in the morning but im just wondering COULD it be amniotic fluid. I went through something similar with my first pregnancy but this doesn't seem like that. My first pregnancy i was leaking small amounts of amniotic fluid over a period of about 3 days. At first i thought it was just discharge but i had a funny feeling. I went to the hospital to get checked and it turned out it was amniotic fluid. I was sent home with my doctor thinking i would go into labour that night. I didn't and i ended up getting induced and having my waters fully broken by my doctor. I did end up with a c section but that's not really relevant. Also when i was leaking the fluid it was always completely clear, unlike this time. I have been getting more frequent braxton hicks lately but nothing today. Iv had no blood or brown discharge or pain or anything, the baby is still active. Like i said im going to inform my doctor about this but just wondering can amniotic fluid have milky white streaks through it? And it was completely watery not mucousy or stringy or anything. (sorry TMI). Any advice, thanks=]

Does anybody know any funny insults in different languages that I can use on my little brother?

My little brother and I are always arguing, like any pair of siblings. I don't want to hurt his feelings or go too far, but sometimes he frustrates me to no end! What are some funny insults that I can use on him that he won't know what they mean? It would be a lot better for me to call him a dork in swahili than for me to start swearing and yelling at him :) Thanks!

Hi i think i have a Hormonal Imbalance And im overweight and i dont wanna gain weight will Pills what do i do?

I think i'm bisexual but now everythings weird..?

i felt just like you a year ago, but it was more serious. i told myself, would i go out with a girl in public? would i spend a night doing stuff with her? & when i answered i knew what my sexuality was. don't be ashamed of who you may be, if it's awkward then maybe she really isn't your friend, because friends will accept you for who you are. don't worrry girl.

As a new mum do you feel a little crazy?lol?

OMG so hormonal - worse than when I was pregnant... poor fianc� =( He is always in trouble, everything is always his fault BUT he tries so hard. Is it normal to feel like this? Honestly I'm just grateful he hasn't packed his bags and left lol

Crush is a jerk ! (10 points!)?

My crush is such a jerk. I've liked him for a good 8 months. We were cool and all, then someone told him (my ex bestfriend told him but she doesn't know that I know that) that I like him and now he has been even WORSE around me. Today my friend had a party, and he threw a hotdog at me (little asshole I swear), then he threw a flip flop at me. And he keeps pissing me off. What do I do about this kid and how do I get over him? I wish he was like my best guy friend. My guy friend is so sweet and nice to me, he listens to me when I am mad or when I have a problem. I can talk to him about anything, he does alot for me too. He always does his best to impress my parents. But I made it STRICT that we are only like brother and sister. No more, no less. So here is my question, what should i do about my crush on this JERK, and what do you think my guy friend feels about me??? Thank youu(;

Where do horse lice come from?

have all of my horses at home, never had lice, gelding just got lice in his mane only where would they have come from? I do ride him out on trails and in my personal arena but have been pretty home bound with him since the ehv1 herpes outbreak so we have been riding alone. havent bought any new horses or had any strange ones on my land lately ideas where this came from? he is quarantined from the others but I have only been riding him since my mares are hormonal. they have no lice he does. what carries them? birds or leftover from other horses on trail? thrown out his fly sheets and all horses brushes since I am paranoid about this. 20yrs of horse ownership and first lice!

Could you imagine a baby being taken out of one mother and put inside another woman?

Like to save the baby or something. If it could be done. That would be weird. Has this ever been done? I was thinking maybe it would keep the first zodiac from when it was first removed. But i think if it never exited the amniotic wall it wouldn'tt actually be born.

Birth Control Options For Blood Clot High-Risk Patients?

Well, you could have the "essure' procedure done (find out more at www.essure.com), however it is a permanent form of BC so you will have to be sure that's what you want. Another option is the "Paraguard" copper wound IUD. It uses no hormones and is good for ten years. A female house mate of mine had one put in and she did not have too much trouble with it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

What causes the placenta to start failing?

I'll be 38 weeks pregnant on Monday. I was told a few days ago when having a sonogram that my amniotic fluid was a little low but "not a cause for concern".

Leaking amniotic fluid.?

I am 33 weeks along and just realized that I might have been leaking amniotic fluid for some time after doing some research. My underwear gets wet spots or is damp all over throughout the day and the smell is sweet. I have been lucky this pregnancy to not have a lot of discharged so sometimes that's all I have is damp underwear. I also just got positive test results back for a yeast infection so am wondering if dampness is a symptom. Is there anyway I could do an at home test to check if am really leaking or has anyone had the same experience and what we pas the outcome.

Mucus plug or amniotic fluid?

I'm 41 weeks and 3 days. I've lost a mucus plug about 4 weeks ago and it looked mucus like and was slightly blood tinged. I know it can regenerate and you can lose multiple mucus plugs. This morning when i went to the restroom it seemed like i was losing another mucus plug but when i stood up it started running down my leg. It was watery and a darker brown/red than before. Was this a mucus plug or what? It threw me off because of how watery it was. I've been told the amniotic fluid should be clear so i don't want to go to the hospital for all the testing and it just be my mucus plug. Please help! Thanks

Odd menstral flow with IUD all of a sudden...?

I think what you're experiencing is normal to a point. I've had my IUD since '08 and I will go months with no problems, then all of a sudden I will see the same thing you're going through: cramps, weird periods, moody, all that. I think you've been lucky you had such a long time without any problems! I think part of it has to do with the IUD moving. I'm smaller and sometimes have problems with it sitting slightly out of place. It usually fixes itself after a month or two. Have your strings been getting longer or shorter (if you can still feel them)? If it continues for more than a few months or gets a lot worse, you may want to bring up to your gynecologist. Hope I helped!

How does my doctor know when I'm getting ready to go in labor?

I'm only 37 weeks, but the doctor thinks I will go in labor this week. They have been talking about inducing me because of low amniotic fluid, but they are waiting because she thinks I will go into labor on my own very soon. I'm not dilated but 1cm, so I don't see how. During my stress test they are picking up contractions every 5 mins, but they aren't painful so I'm guessing they're braxton hicks. She has been engaged for over a month now, so I don't if maybe that has something do with her decision. Also the ultrasound showed that she is practice breathing, and over 6lbs. I don't feel like I'm going to have her soon, what would make the doctor think this?

How to get tested for hormone problems?

Hi. I'm a 16 year old teenage girl. I have acne and my body is a little more on the hairy side. Since I have those two things, I think I have hormonal problems. But the thing is, I get my period regularly. So I know it has nothing to do with my period. I still want to get tested for hormonal problems. How do I get tested?

My brother is a 99er... should I give him more money?

First perhaps it hasn't hit oyou but the economy does in fact suck, it is hard for everyone. There are lots of people who are out of work trying to find jobs. So you option c is just you being a jerk. I'm not sure why you feel the need to beg him to pay you back later. If all he has borrowed is $135, that's nothing. loan him the $150 or make yourself feel better about it and don't loan it to him, find jobs around your house that need to be done that you do not have the time for, pay him for doing those. That way it is not a loan but payment for services. And he doesn't have to feel guilty about owing you money.

How do foetuses/babies live under water for 9 months?

Foetuses/Babies live for 9 months in amniotic fluid in the placenta and in this time they even learn to breathe in and out the fluid.

What to do about awful uneven skintone?

I am a medium toned (tawny) skinned black girl with uneven skintone. I looked in my car mirror today and my skin looked HORRID!!! It's hard to explain the way it looks, but I want to know what I can do to even it out. I really want to try something natural, but I'm willing to try any product that actually works! I hate wearing foundation everyday and I have hormonal acne on top of everything else so I can't just use anything. Help!

Im not sure if im leaking amniotic fluid ...?

im 34 weeks pregnant im wet a lot i had a mini puddle on the bed last night. it doesnt smell like pee. it smells sweet. its clear. ive been having bad pain like as if im holding my pee in too long but im not and im sure the baby is doing fine because he is moving like crazy...what can be happening? please help...i am going to go to the dr but i have to wait an hour :( anyone have any ideas?

Undetected twin on the 30th week of pregnancy.Is this baby going to be ok.?

I know that this is easier said than done but try not to stress too much because it can do more harm than good. Try not to be too hard on yourself for not knowing that you were pregnant early on. A friend of mine didn't realize her pregnancy until she was 24 weeks along, she partied a lot and now has a healthy baby boy. I think that it is a positive sign if he has a stable heartbeat. He may be smaller but technology these days is amazing and he might hit a growth spurt. I would keep in close contact with your OB and find out if the hospital you are delivering in has a Level III NICU. I wish you and your babies the best of luck sweetie!

Amniotic fluid or urine?

Okay, so about 6 hours ago i went to the hospital because i thought my water had broken because i had been experiencing leaking all day long. They did a test with a nitrazine paper and said that it was not amniotic fluid so they let me go home. I had not felt the leaking until a few minutes ago and it came out in a big gush so i went to the bathroom and it kept coming out. I'm not sure if i'm overreacting and just thinking the nurses at the hospital are wrong or if they really are wrong. Is it possible that it's just urine? Has anyone else had this happen to them? I'm 35 weeks, 3 days.

I put head phones on my pregnant belly, is it too loud? Will baby be ok?

So I used my iPhone and put classical music on. I started putting headphones on my belly at 20-21 weeks I am now 22 week just today. I have probably put music on with headphones about 7-8 times for the baby; not completely sure could be less or more. I used these big headphones with the sponges on them for gaming or something so you could hear the sound in the headphones better... What I did not realize was I had the music on WAY too loud (as loud as my iPhone went). I could hear the music coming from the headphones when it was wrapped around my belly... I am so stupid =( I didn't come to think that it could be too loud for the baby.. I've felt baby kick and move around lots several times but did not realize it was probably startling my poor child and scaring it!!!!! I feel so GUILTY and it's stressing me out. I went to the doctor's today and I told him he said not to do that because the amniotic fluid amplifies sound! It freaked my bf and I out.. I forgot to ask if I could have effected the baby's hearing development.. all he said was to stop playing music and putting headphones on the belly. All of my blood tests and everything for any gestational defects ect came out negative.The heartbeat is at 150. Every test is very very good he says... so can anybody tell me if the baby will be ok? I am trying to stay calm and not stress out..

Is it normal to leak amniotic fluid?

My parents are ruining my life...?

I swear, drink, smoke and party. And yet my parents still hate me! I don't know why they don't understand...my friends do it! I've also gotten pregnant 2 times, and was responsible enough to get an abortion, WHY DON'T THEY TRUST ME? Seriously, they even threatened to put me out on the streets, when my drug dealer Josiah came to my house so we could both smoke crack together...honestly I'm unique from other kids, how can I make my parents care? :((((

Is it possible my amniotic fluid is leaking?

I'm just shy of 38 weeks. I've been feeling very uncomfortable the past 2 days and I lost my plug 3 nights ago. I've been very crampy, feeling like I'm going to start my period. And while I didn't have any big gush of water that would make me instantly presume that my water has broken, I've noticed excess discharge and also a much sweeter smell each time I go to the bathroom or even change my undies (which I do a few times a day due to so much discharge). I put a pad on earlier and it didn't seem to soak up a ton of fluid but I also seem to notice each time I go to the bathroom that more fluid comes out than I feel like I'm actually peeing. But I haven't had anything leak down my leg after sitting or laying in bed. I don't know exactly what to do as I live an hour from my hospital but I've also noticed that the baby is a lot less active and that's what's worrying me most. Does it sound like it's possible I'm leaking fluid? Also, should I call my doctor due to the decrease in baby's movements? The baby normally moves constantly and I've only felt movement on a few occasions today.

What's wrong with my baby?

My daughter was born weighing 6 pounds 4 ounces, she dropped down to 5pounds 15 ounces at 3 days old and did not gain weight till 3 weeks old. Now she is almost 3 months an weighs 7 an a half pounds. Has anyone had a baby that is extremely small like mine? Btw I.was induced at 39 weeks because of low amniotic fluid, the only health problem we have found is acid reflux, she is in medicine that has helped immensely. She has also reached all her milestones, holding head up, smiling, ect but she is still 3 months old and the size of a newborn. She also eats well about every 2 and a half to 3 hours (breastfed) any tips on possible health issues would be great!

I have had a para-guard IUD for 8 years. I have had irregular periods for the whole time.?

October 2010 was the last period I had. Every month I have my regular PMS, cramps etc. Every so often it is followed by very light spotting. I have missed a month here and there but not this many. I am not pregnant and have not had the money to go to my gyno. I have an appointment for next month but for now I was wondering if anyone else has had anything like this happen with a non hormonal IUD?

Has anyone experienced Pre-Eclampsia?

The last time I went to see my doctor was on the 18 th of april .. went to the ER on the 24 th with a severs headache my bp was in the 200/100 range .. admitted and on the 27 th emergency c-section .. i was only a little over 24 weeks pregnant ... my baby was very premature ... my amniotic fluid was very low so his growth was affected by that .. I have never heard or knew of anyone affected by this disease ? My doctor ignored my complaints of swelling in my feet and hands and sent me back to work ... its been a little over 2 weeks now and I am still experiencing mild headaches .. So anyone who has gone thru this please share your story ... We need more coverage on this complication more awareness !!!! They have no idea why this happens its ridiculous that in 2011 women still have to go through this - mothers and babies die its just so sad :(

Has anyone experienced this and been pregnant? Or was something else wrong?

On May 15 - 22 i had a normal period that lasted for 6-7 days. On June 7 i started spotting and bled a little for 5 days. It never got heavy just enough to wear a pad and a light tampon. i spotted most of the time though i only bled for like 2 days and spotted 3 days. Today I noticed my stomach is really bloated and crampy even sometimes on my right side (ovary) could be cysts i guess. I cant use the bathroom and if i do its like diarrhea. of course this could be because of anything hormonal imbalance or whatever but i was just wondering what you thought. my boobs are sore of and on but again could be because of anything. I just figured that i had an irregular early period but it weirded me out because for the past few months my periods have been anywhere from 30 days - 35 days not 23 days. Anyway Has this happened to you or to anyone that you know and they were pregnant or was something else wrong. I looked at a calendar and the bleeding started 9 days past ovulation. But ive heard that implantation bleeding was light then i heard it could be a little heavy depending on your body. My mind is very foggy too i cant remember anything it seems like of course that could because im just dumb or something. Im not stressed or anything either.

Please Help!?!?!?!?!!?

This guy could fill the gap your dad left. Maybe you see him as the man in your life. Usually, the dad is the man in a girls life until she gets married. You don't have that so you're trying to use this guy to fill the void. It's okay. Talk to him when he gets back, and tell him how you feel. It'll all be okay i promise :)

Why does my boyfriend have a secret friend who is a girl?

I have been with my live in boyfriend for 7 years, up until 5 months ago , we had a great relationship. I trusted him with my life. He treated me good, spent most of his spare time with me, didn't lie, and was the best person I had in my life. But recently I have discovered he has been lying to me about this girl who is a "friend" . Now i'm not crazy he can have friends. But this girl I did not know about. I figured something was up when he started staying out later than normal, not picking up phone when I called, ignoring my texts...etc.I just had this really bad feeling. I found them in a car one night, and I basically lost it. Everything started to make sense. And it all came to me as soon as I saw her. He swears they are just friends and they were just hanging out....this was very late at night when he should have been home sleeping. He told me in the past he just talks to girls at work but never hangs out with any girls alone. Which I believed. After that night I chose to give him a change to prove to me I can still trust him. A week only a week past and I asked him if he had any contact with this girl, he said no, they are not friends anymore after that night I found them and I freaked out. I found them together again a week later. I have also discovered they have been hanging out for months. I'm confused because when he tells me he loves me and wants to marry me and have kids with me, I believe him. I've devoted 7 years of my life to this man, he is the only bf I've ever had. and I love him with everything I have. He swears that nothing has ever happened with her and that he would never cheat on me, he wouldn't want to risk losing everything we have together.Am I just being paranoid or is my sudden untrust valid?

Advantages of amniotic eggs and how they can stay wherever they like without drying out? I've already got one?

They can be put in trees away from flooding, and they don't have to worry about water levels dropping or areas drying up and killing them. They can be laid where there is abundant food, regardless of whether there is a permanent body of water nearby. Lots of advantages to that when the babies hatch!

Missed a period? Stress...?

cramping can mean a period that is coming somethings people's periods are late. this is due to many things mostly stress, or a plane ride etc. discharge might be a yeast infection or something else. go to the doctor and get a pregnancy test in a few days if your period has not come. it could be you are thinking you are pregnant and your body is reacting. also even bodily fluids can cause you to get pregnant. pre *** even a little can get you pregnant.

Low amniotic fluid at 36 weeks?

My friend had low amniotic fluid and was induced that day but she was term. They may giveyou a shot to get baby's lung mature and induce you. I understand being caught off guard. It may also be the way your baby is laying and that's why your stomach hasn't changed. I measured smaller all of a sudden in my third pregnancy and had an ultrasound to make sure fluid wasn't low but it wasthe way she was laying

Do I have hormonal imbalance?

I bodybuild and I'm ripped. No weight problems, no drugs, great diet. However, I have male gynecomastia and this lower back fat that wont go away; sort of like female love handles and the *** of a dancer. It doesn't make sense. Nothing I do makes it go away so I'm left with 2 assumptions. 1, I'm magically turning into a woman. 2, I have a hormonal imbalance. How can I cure this?

I HATEE Middle School so muchhhh!!!?

OMG! It's HORRIBLE at our school!! The cheerleaders, ok these little wanna be bitches, there awful they act like oh their so nice then you go talk to them and their just awful mean little girls! Oh and I am going into 7th grade. Then the football players.. ehh their pretty chill but they only wanna hang out with football players and cheerleaders, which I mean is fine with me because I'm a girl and I really don't wanna be hanging out with some hormonal football guys. Then in my classes last year I had like 2 or 3 people that actually would talk to me and be my friend, see I'm really quite I don't wanna be popular and have all the attention on me all the time but you know I still want like 5 or 6 friends, well that's exactly how the girls in my classes were either cheerleader and you know how that is or wanna be's that have friends but want ALL the attention on them!

All the girls annoy me, their so hormonal and urrgg they cry and complain and I can't take it.... oh and it's no suprise that all the drama queens haven't "started" yet! Is high school better?? I think there's gonna be drama in high school but it's gonna be over different stuff like sex, and cheating, and crap like that instead of I hate you because my friend does... but yah

I have a thick brown discharge, what can this mean?

I've been on birth control for about 8 months, and this last week I was on the last 4 anti-hormonal pills of my pack and i was experiencing a thick brown discharge that I haven't seen before. Now I'm off the anti-hormonal pills and have been back on my regular ones for 2 days, but I'm still getting the brown discharge, only a little less thick than before. What can this mean? Can this mean that I'm pregnant somehow?

Very worried about 20 week ultrasound?

I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant and they couldn't get a clear picture of the bladder so they asked me to do another one in two weeks. Everything else including the amniotic fluid is perfectly normal. Has anyone else gone through this and do you think this is something my husband and I should be really worried about. The doctor didn't seem worried but it isn't his kid.

Mucus plug or amniotic fluid?

Amniotic fluid is not mucousy, but more like water. Also if your membranes are ruptured you will continue to leak constantly, especially when you have a contraction. Most likely you will need to wear a pad to keep from getting your pants saturated. However if you are concerned, definitely call your doctor's office, and they should be able to talk you through it or will tell you to go be examined.

What is the earliest the hospital will induce with gestational diabetes?

Yes it is a know fact that babies of mom's with Gestational Diabetes are often larger in size, but this is not always the case. They do not like to induce pregnancies until about 37-38 weeks depending on the babies size and lung maturity. I would say that you will probably have your baby by 39 weeks but at the babies current size you may be looking closer to 37 weeks. Babies at this week of gestation do typically well with the transition into the world. They are often a nice healthy weight and ready to breath on their one without assistance. Best of luck to you and your new baby!

Increased fluid or amniotic fluid?

Is this just hormones or what?!!?

Maybe but with the way you have described your brother to me maybe you were just angry. Talk to your mom about it.

Do the Welsh and the Scots like being ruled by an English queen?

In actuality, the queen is more German than anything. Her children are definitely more German since their mother AND their father are both derived from German stock. Quite comical when you think about Britain having royalty with so much German blood (who had to change their name during WWI because it was so German!). God save our German queen. What nonsense the monarchy is. Think about it...Brits swearing allegiance and bowing down to a woman who is of the Hanoverian line from Germany. Back to my original question -- how do the Welsh and the Scots feel about having a queen based in England and born in England (albeit with lots of German blood)?

Water break and didn't know it?

I would go back to the ER and demand a different triage nurse or demand to speak to her supervisor because seriously, they should be there to help you. If your waters did break then there is risk of infection if left alone. Go back and don't let anyone treat you badly, you're pregnant and a patient in need of care. That nurse should be ashamed of themselves. Good luck!

Please answer iam 30 weeks pregnant.my ultrasound report says i have hydroamnios means too much amniotic fluid?

If your dr isnt concerned you shouldn't be either. My Ob also told me I had high fluid she said it would muffle some of the baby's kicks so I wouldn't feel them but that was about it.

Ultrasound complications, someone please answer?

I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks pregnant and they couldn't get a clear picture of the bladder so they asked me to do another one in two weeks. Everything else including the amniotic fluid is perfectly normal. Has anyone else gone through this and do you think this is something my husband and I should be really worried about. The doctor didn't seem worried but it isn't his kid.

How to fix uneven skintone?

I am a medium toned (tawny) skinned black girl with uneven skintone. I looked in my car mirror today and my skin looked HORRID!!! It's hard to explain the way it looks, but I want to know what I can do to even it out. I really want to try something natural, but I'm willing to try any product that actually works! I hate wearing foundation everyday and I have hormonal acne on top of everything else so I can't just use anything. Help

My period might be late...?

So in the last year my cycle has ranged from 28 days to 33 days long. 30 days has occured most often and only 33 days once. I do not take any hormonal birth control and have been having unprotected sex with a man who has told me he had a vasectomy 5 years ago. Today is day 31 of my cycle and no sign of a period yet. Should I be concerned yet?

Whats wrong with my breast? could i be pregnant?

I have been having problems out of my breast lately. At first it was then hurting all together now its just my nipples. And my cycle finally came a few days ago after spotting for a week. My cycle was early. I vomited once and I have constant back pain as if my breast are growing. I squeezed my nipple a few days ago and white/clear stuff came out. Then I did it again and dry white stuff came out. Idk what's going on my my nipples hurt constantly and they tingle. I never had this problem before my period comes on so this is unusual for me. Could I be pregnant or do you all this it a hormonal change? Oh yes I did have sex three weeks ago unprotected.

Is it normal that I feel the desire to do this now that I've had sex?

I wouldn't tell any of my closest friends this, because I doubt they can relate but now that Ive had sex and had an orgasm and all that I kinda want to masturbate? I'm only 16 and my bf was a PRO, I swear. He was 24 and knew all the right spots to hit. He turned out to be a douche tho and used me.. :/ but I miss having sex! So since doing it with him isn't an option, can I create a similar feeling myself??

I am around 3-4 months pregnant and i have clear liquid dripping from my vagina. why?

like i said i am 3-4 months pregnant and every day for about a month i get fluid running from my vagina. (it feels like i started my period but i know its not) its gotten so bad that i have to wear a pantyliner all day everyday. i am afraid i am losing amniotic fluid or something. and this is my second child i did not have this with my first! thanks for your help!

Am i leaking amniotic fluid?

Call your caregiver right away and let them know everything. They will more than likely have you go in. Even the smallest twinge is a good reason to call the doctor when you're pregnant. It's always better to be on the safe side.

Okay so I'm pregnant & hormonal! But?

It's okay sweety. I was 200 pounds before I got pregnant and I'm 5 foot 6 inches. Now in my third trimester Ive gained almost 30 pounds and STILL have 4 weeks to go. I feel the same way you do sometimes but the truth about guys is... they're going to look at other women... always. No matter if you're 120 pounds or 220 pounds. As long as he realizes he can look but he can't touch, you're fine. I mean, as women, we think about celebrity men sometimes... even normal men. So it's no different for him than it is for us. Remember also that you can try to lose the weight after the pregnancy. It may be hard to do but you'll probably feel better about yourself. Good luck and don't get discouraged with anything.

Is pregnancy possible?

my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex about a week and a half ago. he swears that he pulled out but i know that doesnt always work. a few days after i started spotting a little and having nausea in the mornings. i took a test and it was negative. could it be possible i took it too early and should wait again to take another one, or could it be something else besides pregnancy?

Bought some inexpensive salmon.. woke up feeling weird?

Ok I know I shouldn't have bought the inexpensive salmon... but it was at cub foods which i haven't gotten bad stuff from before. So next time I will go somewhere else for salmon... HOWEVER we eat it and it was just ok not the best quality... and we woke up feeling really grogy, feeling almost drugged. After a shower I felt a little better but I just feel all over tired when I swear I got a good nights sleep. My boyfriend feels the same way except he didn't feel better after a shower he still about 19 hrs later still feels out of it. Could there have been a higher amount of mercury in the cheap salmon? What can he do to feel better if that is the case? We have tickets for lion king tonight :) that he have been waiting to go to for sooo long and it will suck if he still feels like this during the show. Any tips will be great :)

Do i have bi polar or not?

I dont know if it could be bi polar or just a teen thing. Basicily i get depressed a lot to the point ive thought about you know what a lot of times, also i never really have a relaxed mood, im either depressed, energetic or angry. And 99 percent of the time the depression starts when i think about a ex girlfriend or a future without love. Could it be just because im a hormonal 17 year old or have a really got a problem?

Best friend lied and stole off me. What to do?

Extremely long story. I was at a party and I smoked weed and started hallucinating and losing it and wrecking the party. One of my good mates (guy who made the party) brought me up the stairs took me into a bedroom (looked after me for a while). There my best friend (of 5 yrs) apparently "stayed" in the room looking after me. Next morning, my $50 note was gone. I asked my best friend if he used it to buy Maccas for everyone, cause I remember people were eating Maccas. He said NO and started accusing my mate (the party starter) for taking the money and witnessed him having a $50 in his wallet and buying ciggies with it. I asked him if he drove my car to drop people off (he is on his L's and was drinking), he said NO. Found out my fuel was half gone and crums around the car. Next day one of my other mates admitted to using my car to drop people off and apologized sincerley. However my best friend still denied driving my car. Couple days later, we were chilling in my friends car (guy who made the party) and I asked him if he knew who stole my money. He said he knew and that it was a friend that stole my money and that he would never tell me because it will make things worse. My best friend who happened to be in the car, started to buckle and choke and started accusing my mate why he was getting the blame and that he was a dog c*nt for accusing him etc (in short it looked like he knew he did it and couldn't handle the pressure so he lashed out). I also found out from my mate (and several others) that my best friend took my car out for 3 Maccas runs, had a joy ride (with alcohol in his system) and LET a drunk 14 yr old with no license drive it (I was also told that the 14 yr old nearly crashed my car 4 times). My mate (party starter) also said things which were true - my best friend didnt bring money to the party, he witnessed my bestie holding a lot of cash (change from the $50 possibly?) and that he pretty much shouted everyone Maccas (my best friend is on the dole, lives on housing commission and suffers financially, he never shouts anything). I confronted my best friend after this argument calmly and with no swearing or voice raising, he responded by swearing and telling me off and how he looked after me all night and would never do such thing and that the money used for Maccas was from people chipping in. I also asked other party goers that night and one said that my best friend would do no such thing and that he chipped in small change for Maccas. However I talked with my mate (the party starter) and he was 100% certain he took the money and that 'looking after you all night' doesn't mean sh*t. What do I do in this situation? Obviously our trio is broken up. I do not like to take sides either. My best friend (or ex bestie) is very hostile and refuses to talk. Please help me resolve this.
