I had my son two weeks ago and chose not to breast feed, for personal reasons. my breasts are no longer hard or painful, but they are still leaking a yellowish-orange colored fluid. Is that normal?

My 2 week old has been spitting up and is fussy. I didn't experience this with my other two, so I'm not sure what to do. i can't talk to his pediatrician until tomorrow. he seems to be spitting up everything he eats.

I've had a history of PPD and this is my third go at it. My baby is almost 2 weeks old. I'm trying really hard to stay off of antidepressants, but it's not easy. I live in a small town so I there isn't a support group I can go to. I was just wondering if anyone one else is going through the same thing, and if so, I'd love to have someone to talk to or some kind words from someone who's been there. Thanks!

My hubby is currently in Iraq with the Army. I just had a baby boy a week ago and we have a 3 year old, and a one year old also! My mom lives right next door and is a big help, but I still miss my hubby like crazy and I'm so overwhelmed! This is his first deployment. How do you get through it ladies, I feel so alone sometimes! And yes, I know, I have alot of hormonal problems with just having a baby, lol!

I just had my third baby, a little boy, on the 12th! I had post partum depression with my first two, and I am really trying to not get that way with this one. I have been taking natural stuff to help with the stress. My hubby is in Iraq, so I am really overwhelmed. Anyway, it's always nice to talk to someone who is going through the same thing, so if you have any advice, I'd love some!

I am finally having my baby tomorrow! I will be having a c-section and even though this will be my third one, I'm so nervous! I can't sleep, so I'm up snacking, cause in about an hour I won't be able to eat or drink anything! And my surgery isn't until 1 in the afternoon! Anyway, good luck to any other mommies to be! I'm having a boy by the way!

I am 38 weeks, and today I have been getting cramping and pain in my lower back off and on. I've also been having a burning sensation on the lower left side of my abdomen, like it's on fire! And I know this is TMI but I've also had diarrhea twice. This is my third pregnancy, but with my other two, I have never experienced labor, so I don't know what to expect. Any ideas on what may be going on?

My mom went to the ER today and they told her she had A-Fib. They've been giving her medicine to regulate her heart rate, but if that doesn't work, they will put her under tomorrow and shock her. Does anyone have experience with this? My mom and I are very close and I'm really worried!

I am 37 weeks, and I am about to lose it! I already have two kids at home, 3 and 1, and my husband is in Iraq. I am in constant pain due to gall stones and the baby sitting on my sciatic nerve! I can't handle my kids anymore and I swear I don't think I can be pregnant another day! What can I do to speed up the process? I'm not a mean person, but my patients is running so thin!

I am 37 weeks, and I have had a constant headache since last night. It even woke me up a few times. I've taken tylenol and tried to get rest, but it has not let up one bit! Is this normal or should I call my doc?

You know, when you have all these complaints, but when you actually see the doctor and he/she asks how you are, and you say "oh, I'm good!" I do that all the time! I'm getting an ultrasound later today, and an exam(ugghh). I'm 37 weeks and sooo miserable! Any advice on how to actually tell my doctor all my complaints this time, instead of clamming up?

I'm 36 weeks, and all day I've been getting nauseas and have had a headache. recently, I started getting very hot and my face is red a little puffy. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a doctors appt. tomorrow, so I know to go to the doctor, lol! Anyway, I'm 36 weeks and most likely have gallstones. I am miserable! I was just wondering what to expect from my doctor and what to do to get rid of this pain!

First of all, I'm not judging anyone, but I just feel like posting these questions in the pregnancy section is ignorant! Why are you in this section if you're for abortion so much? Are you trying to persuade us preggo's to terminate our babies so you can gloat about it? Seriously, women in here want to talk about their pregnancies, not defend themselves for their choices!

The first one is about when your water breaks. I have been "leaking" alot today, way more than usual. this is my 3rd pregnancy and I am 35 weeks, but with my first two, my water never broke, so I don't know what to expect. Ok, second question! Has anyone had gallstones while pregnant?

Today was my 3 year old daughters' first day of preschool. She loved it, but I had a hard time all day. I kept feeling guilty about sending her to school so early. What are your opinions on sending little ones to school?

Although this is my 3rd pregnancy, I have never had contractions.(I had c-sections) Anyway, about an hour ago I started getting some cramping off and on, which I get every now and then, but about every 10 minutes, I get sharp shooting pains in my lower back. I'm not sure if it's cause for concern, because I'm really not sure what I should be feeling. (by the way, I'm only 35 weeks)

I don't just mean anxiety about the baby coming. I mean like anxiety problems in general. I've had a bad day, and just feel like I'm alone. Does any of this make sense?
