Raeleigh Grace

Any suggestions other than Kate or Anne?

I can't remember is my boob hurt with my first but I took a test this morning and it came back positive FAST! I don't really have any symptoms except uterine cramping...do you think I have anything to worry about? My period was due yesterday and it was late as of today. I know I am VERY early pregnant...

So I am at day 35. I have been off the pill for 4 months now. First cycle was 29 days, second 32, last month 34 now I am at day 35. On day 32 I cramped my boobs hurt and I started breaking out so I knew my period was coming soon. Yesterday and today the cramps are gone, my boobs are still heavy but not AS sore and I am still breaking out.

I am not a first time mom, but I have been disappointed by testing too soon before.

So when would you test? Should I wait another week?

I went off the pill three months ago. I didn't use my monitor the first month off. The second month I used it and it never peaked, ok maybe just strange period without ovulation,but my period came on day 30. Month two, current, day 21 now and still high since day 17 and I am scared month one is happening again no peak so far...has this ever happened to anyone else?I already have one baby and it worked WONDERS to conceive her! This is just making me crazy now....

Which is better?

Does anyone else have issues with sippy cups? My daughter will SCREAM if I try to give her one. She also does not hold her bottle yet sitting up only leaning back and she refuses to eat ANYTHING with chunks. She will eat bread, fish, and some cookies but she will not eat veggies unless it is baby food smashed or fruit unless it is smashed.

She is advanced on every other milestone except mouth related items. She is walking, talking, snapping, clapping, knows she is one if she is asked so I don't think he is delayed but I just wanted to know if anyone else has gone through this!

I am making a movie of my daughters first years,with clips from our camera and then just some still photos mixed in. I am trying to match milestones to songs. For example the intro is you are so beautiful, then when she starts grabbing her toes and kicking around I have dancing queen. Now I need one for when she starts crawling, cruising, and hopefully walking before her birthday. Can you give me some ideas? Thanks!

I really only want people who have had babies like this to answer because if you haven't dealt with this personally you probably don't understand...

I have almost 9 month old baby she hate anything being put in her mouth other than her bottle. She licks food off of her spoon and on that she will only eat squash and sweet potatoes.

Since she won't put anything in her mouth this also means food. She can pick up anything she wants. She plays with her puffs and the dogs end up with them.

I know I am lucky she doesn't put random things in her mouth but will she ever self feed? If you had a baby like this when did your self feed?

My daughter is 8 months and just started crawling this week...well her only purpose is to get over to something to pull up on...mainly the TV! I need to baby proof a 58" TV and stand and I have no idea how!!! Any suggestions?

My almost 5 month old has started waking up way too early talking to herself. She isn't crying but of course it comes through the monitor and she is just talking. Any ideas what to do? Should i just turn off the monitor because she is not upset...

My baby girl is very hard to burp at some times. Usually at her night feeding. We are using Dr. Brown bottles because I was told they were the best for gas. She is on Simalac Advance Shield. Is there a different formula I should use or should I be using a different bottle. I just want her to be happy and gas does not make her happy!

Ok my original due date was tomorrow, after my ultrasound they changed it to the 24th. All weekend I have had strong contractions that are evenly places 10-11 minutes apart, meaning I am not able to sleep. However they are not getting closer together, or any stronger.

I have an appointment today at 2:45 and at this point I am in pain and not sleeping at all. My doctors have never mentioned induction, but at this point I really want to be because I feel like if I continue on this journey of no sleep because of contractions by the time my baby comes I will be too tired to push and be forced into a c-section which is much worse to me than inductions...

However I am not in labor. I have these HORRIBLE knife like pains in my lover abdomen. I am not sure what they are. Sometimes my uterus is hard and tight but not always. Any idea what this is?

My doctor said it could be any day in fact her exact words were I don't know how this baby is still in there. Her head is as far down as it will go, I am dilating, and my cervix is 100% effaced. However I haven't lost my plug, or at least I don't think I have. Could I have lost it in one of my night time potty breaks in the dark? Would I have a wet spot on my bed?

95% effaced, 2 cm dilated, and Station 3?

Anyone else ever been like that and how long until you went into labor. My midwife said she doesn't know how my baby is still in there. She is really far down couldn't get any further or my cervix can't get any thinner...I am getting excited..how long do you think I have.

Does anyone else seem to have horrible Braxton Hicks contractions only at night? Anyone else being woken up by them, thinking you are in labor only to realize they are not regular and then eventually go away?

I really want to have this baby soon. I am so miserable, I don't want to ask to be induced because I think my baby girl wants out too. Any ideas on how to get her to make her debut?

Plus does 90% effaced mean anything to anyone?

Ok I am going on maternity leave in a week and a 1/2 that means no money for a long time :) My husband wants me to get to Sam's and buy everything we can think of that nickles and dimes us to death. What do you think would be a good idea to get!

Thanks!

It is not all the time but more times that not when I stand up and I have a HORRIBLE pain. So much so that I scream when I stand up. It is just below my belly on both side and then in my upper legs both sides all at the same time.

Does anyone have any idea what this is? It just started happening on Sunday.
