How is it different raising a boy?
Ok so I am a mother of 3 GIRLS and we have a boy (finally lol) on the way!!!! I worked in a day care for about 2/3 years but that was 12/13 years ago and we all know working in a daycare taking care of baby boys is way different then raising your own!!! So I do have some experience with boys BUT that was a long time ago!! Since then I have had 3 daughter and 3 nieces so I'm rusty on the boys lol. How is it different taking care of a bay boy then taking care of baby girls??
3 AnswersToddler & Preschooler8 years agoONE (best) double stroller?
I have 4 kids so I'm not a stranger to a double stroller but the last one I bought was 4yrs ago! And I'm sure a lot of cool new things come out since then!! I am prego now and I have a 10 month old (they will be 15 months apart and 1 girl, 1boy) I don't NOT like side by side double strollers and I don't really care for the sit and stand since my "oldest baby" will just be over 1 years old. I have a large SUV so I don have to fit it into a car trunk. And I want something that I can assess my diaper bag at all times!! For example if the baby is in the infant seat I still would like to be able to get to my wallet, diapers and wipes!! Love love love large baskets I have large diaper bag plus kids winter coats (baby will be here in Oct) to carry!! Thank you for your suggestions!!!!!

5 AnswersPregnancy8 years agoHelp with hpt please read!!?
Ok. So I am freaking out a little bit My period was due either Sunday or Monday So I guess that makes me 4 to 5 days late. I usually have a 31/32 day cycle And I ovulate a little bit later. But I am kind of freaking out I have taken a home pregnancy test with every morning pee for the past three days. And the line is just getting a little darker, But not by much. With my last pregnancy deadlines got darker every day But a huge noticeable difference! I have gone rough miscarriage before and I don't know if I can handle another one. The first two are answer brand early response. The last test was first response early testing. I wish I could post a picture but I don't know how to do that Has anyone else had this happen and still had a healthy pregnancy? I go for Blood work today but then I have to wait all weekend for results :( I'm so nervous!!!!!

2 AnswersPregnancy8 years agoFeminine itching question...?
I am having feminine itching around my Labia NOT inside my vagina NO discharge No odor.
ok so a little history. i have been married for 7 years now. my husband it the only man i have been with for the past 9 years and i am the only women he has been with in the past 9 years. We just had our 3rd baby 5 months ago (so with all the testing they do with being prego and being in a monogamous relationship and using condoms i know its not a STD) i just stopped breastfeeding and just got my second period since baby. i just got over a nasty stomach bug the gave me diarrhea for four days straight. i must have gone to the bathroom 4 times and hour so my theory is that i literally rubbed myself raw from all the wiping (yes i wiped front to back!!) we have been using condoms as our form of birth control as of right now. but since i have been sick and on my monthly friend it had been awhile since we have had sex. ive have never had itching before nor have i ever had a yeast infection (but like i said before i have NO odor NO discharge) could my theory be right? or what else could it be?
What could help with the itching?? yes i have a call into my obgyn but with the holidays getting an appointment right now is very hard!!!!!
2 AnswersWomen's Health8 years agoWhen is baby's heartbeat heard by doppler?
First off the me start with at little history. This is my fourth pregnancy 2 daughters 1 miscarriage currently prego :) ok so I am plus size also. At my last doc visit i was 14week4day he could not find the heartbeat but he did do a sono and we saw the HB!! I had a sono (at one of those 3/4d places) at 16weeks1day we heard (it was faint) and saw the HB (was a very strong beat!!) :) and found out its another baby girl!!
The sono tec told me the baby was sitting in my back so is this why I could hear the baby's HB at all most 15 weeks via Doppler? Or is it because I'm overweight? Or both? I'm just scared to go back next week and not hear the HB via Doppler again (I've never experienced this before) I mean I can feel the baby moving but I just hate the feeling when you can find that HB on the Doppler!
3 AnswersPregnancy9 years agofetal heartbeat at 8.5 weeks?
ok so last week at exactly 7 weeks i had a trans vaginal sonogram and i saw the heart beat it was 153 bpm. today we (my hubby two daughters and I) were rear ended :( we all went to the hospital (we drove ourselves to the hospital, accident was a hard impact but car was still drivable) anyways i was total paranoid so we went to the er. everyone was ok (THANK YOU GOD!!) they did a sono in the er and baby was definitely bigger then last week, but the heart rate was 145 at 8.5 weeks. can that be right? for it to go down? the hospital said everything looked good and they released me, but i mean they didn't know the heart rate was 153 last week.
5 AnswersPregnancy9 years agoCould this be a blood clot?
Two weeks ago I have my blood drawn from my "inner" elbow and it is still hurting it burst when I make a fist and stretch out my arm. Its not really hot but the. Again it's where my arm is always bent. Oh yea by the way I am pregnant so if it is how would they treat it?
1 AnswerOther - General Health Care10 years agoWhat is the difference between a trans vaginal sono and an abdominal sono?
Ok, ok I know where the trans vag on goes and where abdominal is done. But I was wondering which one is "better" more reliable? I'm 6 weeks pregnant (well as of me lmp I should be 6weeks6day but I ovulate late and have a 32 day cycle) so I belive I'm about 6weeks 2days.
My doctor did an abdominal sono in his office today and he saw the sac and fetal pole but no heartbeat but he said he is not worried and he thinks everything looks good. Although he is sending me for fetal assessment next week because I had placenta previa my last pregnancy one miscarriage before that and a very difficult vaginal birth before that.

4 AnswersPregnancy10 years agoQuestions about 6 week sonogram?
Ok so my lmp was 10/5/11 they last 32 days and I had a positive opk (ovulation test on 10/21/11)
According the the "chart at the do tots office I should be 6weeks6days but I believe (due to later ovulation and longer period I'm only 6weeks2days.
Anyways the doctor did a quick sonogram in the office today (abdominal NOT trans vaginal) he saw the sac and fetal pole and he said he was happy with the way things looked but he said he didn't see the heartbeat but he said he not to worried. It of course I am!!!
I see everyone saying they saw heard beat at exactly 6weeks
So does an abdominal sono and trans vaginal sono al this point make a huge difference??? I'm just worried I've had a miscarriage before and I can NOT Handel another one!!
2 AnswersPregnancy10 years agoHome pregnancy tests PLEASE help!?
Ok so I took a hpt on Sunday (answer brand) very very faint line but it wasn't fist morning pee.
Retook test on Monday (answer brand) with first morning pee deffenitly 2 lines prego :)!!!
Retook it again on Tuesday (answer brand) with first morning pee very dark second line!!!
Took another one (first response) this morning (Wednesday) although I got up at 2am and went pee but forgot to test so when I woke at 7am I took a hpt (first response)and there was a second line but it's lighter then yesterdays line with the answer brand!
So is it just because it wasn't first morning urine? But I have read that first response brand is more sensitive then th answer brand. So I'm freaki g out???
My doc doesn't open till 11:00 today. I had blood work done on Monday But I don't have the results back yet.
Should I be freaking out??? I have two healthy baby girls and one miscarriage we have been ttc for almost 2 years now and I can't handle another miscarriage :(

1 AnswerTrying to Conceive10 years agoNo pcos but might be put on clomid please help?
I had blood work done and NO PCOS ok so heres my history
10/05 ttc got BFP 03/06(naturally)
02/07 ttc got BFP 09/07 (naturally but had MC at 6weeks)
10/07 ttc got BFP 07/08 (naturally)
03/10 ttc still trying
It has been a 19 month now that we have been ttc. I have a period ever month but I spot 3 to 4 day before I get my full on period. My doc put on provera (to try and stop spotting before my period although he doesnt think the the spotting is a "bad" thing) so he said he really thinks I will get prego on provera (I know provera doesn't make you ovulate but it does give your body a "signal" to maybe start ovulation normally again) i asked him what was next he said we could try 50mg clomid but I'm reading all these neg things about clomid and people having m/c I don't know if I can handle another m/c so are the two linked or is it because most people on clomid have pcos and there's a higher risk of m/c with pcos??? Any additional info on personal use of clomid would be appreciated :)
Ps I believe I am ovulating (ovulation tests and some blood work) but I'm not getting positive opt every month plus I believe I have a short luteal phase
we have been TTC for almost two years now
1 AnswerTrying to Conceive10 years agoQuestions about ovulation test strips?
Ok so hubby and I have been ttc for almost 2 years we have gotten pregnant 3 times before (2 daughters one miscarriage) without it taking this long!! So here is my question...
I started ovulation tests strips last month and I did not see and sings of ovulation!! This month i took the the ovulation tests and I thought nothing was going to happen(because I only saw the test line!) until I said "I'm going to try one more night," and that night there was a second line!! :) and it seemed as if the ovulation line was darker then the test line!! So I tested again the second night and the ovulation test line seemed lighter then the night before! But then I tried again the night after Thant and the line is still there and it seems the same as last night or even a little darker!
So is that possible?? The first time I had an ovulation line appear (not the test line the second line) it seemed as if it was the one!! Being darker then the test line!! Can that happen? And then the next few night to have the second line still be there but lighter then the test line?? I'm seconded guessing myself now I think it is possible but I want to KNOW not think lol!

2 AnswersTrying to Conceive10 years ago? about ovulation and the progesterone pill and ttc?
ok so my hubby and i have been trying for baby #3 for almost 2 years (we had no trouble conceiving before!!) so my doc did a bunch of blood work and everything came back "normal". but he did give me progesterone pills because i am spotting for 3-4 days before my actual period!
ok so last month i did NOT take the progesterone pills because i read a lot of bad thing online about taking them when you are trying to conceive. but last month when i took my ovulation tests they should i was not ovulating! so i said (to myself) im just going to take the pills next month. so i did and i OVULATED!!! but...
ok i started spotting on sept 2, 2011 and my actual period came on sept 6, 2011. my doctor told me to start counting sept 2 (first day of spotting) as day 1 of my cycle. if that is the case i ovulated on day 19 day of my cycle isnt that to late of an ovulation for a pregnancy? now my period is anywhere from 29-34 days every month.
but my ovulation app is telling me to count day 1 of my cycle as sept 6 when my actual period came (not the spotting) so then i would have ovulated on day 15 (which seems like a "better" ovulation time)
SO i called my doc today (Wednesday) and told him everything and told him that hubby and i had sex day before ovulation and on the day of ovulation (which was Monday and Tuesday) and tomorrow (which will be thursday) is the day im suppose to take my frist progesterone pill, according to him that would be day 21 and i am suppose to take the pill from day 21 for 10 days. he said take the pill its ok everything will be fine even if you did get pregnant "last night" the progesterone wouldn't harm the pregnancy.
but i have read so many bad thing and i am so nervous. i have had a miscarriage before (between the birth of my 2 daughters) and i dont think i can handle that again plus i have been trying for 19 months for #3!!!
so is he right about the counting of the days?
his he right that if i did get prego with lasts night "rumble" the progesterone would NOT harm the baby?
did i ovulate late or did i ovulate in enough time to become prego?
