Hey guys,

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and obviously as big as a house and miserable. When my husband and I go out anywhere, instead of walking next to me and holding my hand of putting his hand on my belly or kissing me or being affectionate, he basically walks ahead of me and ignores me. It makes me want to cry. He claims he wants this baby and me but it doesn't feel like it really...even at doc appointments he never really asks questions or makes comments after we're out...what do I do? Help!

Hey guys,

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and last week my doctor did a 3 hour glucose test and allegedly I failed although the lab gave me one set of numbers and my OBGYN gave me another. My blood sugar was high though when I tested it after drinking like 3 sodas and a candy bar at 157 and my fasting 120. Over two days I've gotten my fasting down to 99 and my 2 hours after meal was 102 today! I was wondering if 102 was too low?! Help!

Hey guys!

I'm from Chicago and recently moved up to Montana. I'm pregnant and craving pizza constantly but the best pizza in Montana is Papa Murphy's and they use cheddar cheese and it just tastes weird. Anyone that has tasted any of these places know any good recipes? Thanks!

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my husband and I wanted this baby. There was nothing I had wanted more than to have a baby and I thought it might never happen because I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which causes infertility...and here I am only with a few months left until that happens. But I'm miserable. I have nausea (severe where I can't get out of bed usually), rashes, my hair is tangled and falling out, migraines, and pressure from the baby growing. I still have food aversions and have to now see an obgyn instead of my midwife due to suspected gestational diabetes. I know it isn't the baby's fault but I resent the pregnancy that I wanted so badly. I am so depressed that I just don't even care about me or the baby...I'm miserable. Help! Has anyone else dealt with this?

Hey guys,

So I'm 20 weeks pregnant and have had two ultrasounds. The gender isn't being determined because every time my little one has their legs up to their chest and clasped tightly together. I tried sugary drinks and eating before...nothing. what can I do?...

Kyla Joy Schlapman =) it means beautiful joy! Thanks!

So today was my first day meeting them and when my husband brought me out to meet then they said hi and nothing else. We got married a while ago and I'm starting to think it was because instead of having a big wedding we just went to the justice of peace. We couldn't afford a big wedding. It was kind of awkward. His Aunt, Uncle, and I sat there and discussed their dog basically and his other Aunt and Uncle hardly said a word to me. We're expecting and they didn't even tell me congrats or welcome to the family. I moved from Chicago to Montana to be with my husband and left my family behind. I feel so alone. Help please!

So I recently found out my mom (who has been a drug addict my entire life) is back on drugs. She's getting multiple prescriptions filled, overdosing on meds, and has sleep apnea (stops breathing in her sleep), which she isn't using a machine for plus taking antidepressants and sleeping pills. She also drives a school bus! I'm angry at this and think it's unfair and that she's being selfish. My whole life she's taken risks with us and now she's taking risks with others! My sister in law is also addicted to the same drugs.

Today I told my mom I thought what she was doing was wrong and hung up her when she started to make excuses. After I hung up my sis in law texted me and started attacking me saying I was young (I'm 24), and didn't know what I was talking about regarding my mom, and said that I was being immature because I was being rude and that since I wanted to be rude to my mom, she'd be rude to me and started saying stuff like I don't really look pregnant and by sending pics of my belly I'm embarassing myself and that I don't want to be judged but that I'm being judgemental.

I never cursed at my mom, called her names, nor did I talk to her in a tone, I simply hung up because I'm almost 5 months pregnant and don't need the stress. She has been on drugs since I was 6 or 7. I do not judge her for this, I don't think that she's making safe or fair choices but I'm not judging her as a person based on her behavior.

Bottom line is...don't know what I should do. I'm living on my own and every single person in my immediate family and my brother's wife are addicted to drugs. I am in a wonderful and drug free relationship with my husband/baby's daddy that is not abusive in any way (we don't even yell), and finally have the support and stability I need. But my question is, is it wrong to tell my family not to contact me until they stop doing drugs and abusing eachother/enabling eachother because according to my sister in law this makes me judgemental and immature!

I don't get it. What did I do to deserve this? How can they not see my mom is taking major risks?

I'm almost 19 weeks and completely miserable. My husband has to do literally EVERYTHING. Most days I feel too awful to get out of bed. I'm either too tired, too nauseous, my back hurts, I have bad round ligament pain, awful headaches, and the list goes on. This is my first pregnancy and it's super tough. The first trimester was easy. The second not so much. Am I the only one that's felt this way? I am so miserable I want to cry.

Since my mom knew my dad he's smoked pot. When I was six or so she was in a major accident and her doctor gave her Vicodin. She began taking it and shortly became addicted to it. During this time my father was running a trucking company and had always had an anger problem so he would constantly yell, call my mom and I names, smash things, you name it. My dad ended up having a quadruple bypass on his leg because he had a blood clot and doctors told my mom he was going to die. He didn't but he also become addicted to Vicodin. Thankfully, he weaned himself from it. My mom worsened. She actually got to the point where she was stealing prescription pads and writing her own prescriptions and getting more. She ended up becoming suicidal once, trying to cut her wrist, and cut my older brother when he tried to pull the knife from her. Throughout this whole thing my dad was still yelling constantly and being abusive. He would call me names directed towards my weight, make me do situps in front of guests and scream at me for simple things like not being able to find something. My mom frequently put my brothers and I at risk by driving with us while on Vicodins (even through mountains). When I got a bit older my mom quit taking the Vicodin but years later I discovered not only was she back on them, but she was also in addition, taking Tramadol and Trazadone. I discovered this when she blacked out, passing out on the floor and falling down. In addition to her taking Vicodins, I discovered she was also stealing mine I'd had for a tooth that was infected by sneaking into my room when I was sleeping. Now, my mom has sleep apnea and is not using a machine but taking Trazadone (a sleeping med/anti depressant). I found out she's getting them from multiple doctors. She also had a job where she could have been putting others lives at risk. My brothers are addicts also. I am now living far away from my family and am happily married to my husband who treats me great. What do I do?

Hey guys, Since my husband and I have been together his sister has done nothing but start drama with me. She starts drama over things I say, twists them, and takes them out of context. When we first met she got on facebook and wrote this status about how I would be just like her her grandma's husband who controlled her grandma with money and tagged me in it. She hadn't even met me. She also started stuff over something my cousin posted on fb directed toward me and called her a ho. Then when my husband and I were going to get married she told him she didn't care who he married and refused to talk to him or answer his calls. She finally responded ON FACEBOOK to tell me that I needed to tell HIM to stop calling her. After that I got pregnant with our first child (I was a virgin before) and my husband called her on my cell phone because his had broke and had her on speakerphone. She was telling him that she didn't think the baby was his and told him all the stuff we needed to do before she would speak to him like visit a doctor at 7 weeks when I didn't need to go until I was 8 to 10 weeks along. Even after this I found out she was expecting and offered to send her some things I had bought for my baby that were androgynous. She has never once congratulated us on ANYTHING or ever acted happy for us... Now my husband is talking to her again. He keeps contacting her, and she after a few months responded with this: So I added you back because you are my brother, but I want it known any drama that starts will be the end of this. I want to just get on with the bs that I have to deal with and I am not dealing with yours and grace's. As long as that is known and understood then everything will be fine I don't get it. I feel so betrayed that after all of this my husband still continues to talk to her. She has never apologized to me...what should I do?

Hey guys,

So I'm having issues with being pregnant. I am so tired all the time and hate moving. My pelvic and lower abdomen feel so full and heavy and my back and lower stomach muscles throb. It's a chore doing anything. Is this normal? Help please.

Hey guys,

So I'm 18 weeks pregnant and my midwife did an A1C1 which is a specific blood test that gives your average sugar range for the past 6 months. What can I do now to lower my sugar level to prevent gestational diabetes? Thank you!
