Gabriella's Mommy

I m currently pregnant with my second child and was looking into birth control methods. I wanted to give the implanon a try, but was wondering how soon after birth can I get it? I know this is a question better left for my doctor, but I won t see him again for a while. I m asking for the personal experience from others. How long did you have to wait?

Okay. So I think I have an unintentional eating disorder. By that I mean I actually forget to eat. I can go all day without eating anything, or only eat once and not realize it. I can do the same with consuming liquids. I get hunger pains, but unless they're extremely bad, I can't really feel them. Is this normal? Is it possible that I have an eating disorder unintentionally?

I'm thirty six weeks and four days pregnant. Last night after i had sex i had gotten up to go to the restroom and i noticed i had a really weird colored discharge. I want to say its blood but it was more purple than red. I didn't have any discomfort during sex. I also started having really strong braxton hicks that eventually stopped but i'm curious as to what the discharge was or what it means or if there is something wrong? My braxton hicks have stopped and my baby is still moving just fine.

Cam I file for full legal and physical custody if there is no father on the birth certificate?

Okay. So my ex and I are having a child. We decided we didn't want to go to court, I don't want the hassle and he doesn't want all the hospital bills and such. He doesn't do anything but talk **** about me and stress me out big time, even when we were together he would stress me out to the point of anxiety attacks. Well we had a deal that if he didn't learn how to respect me, and stop being a dick to me, he wasn't going to be there when my daughter was born (thats supposed to be a happy day for me and I don't want un-needed stress). He said that he would do it for her. Well not even a day after that he publically talks **** about me on facebook, in a situation where I wasn't even concerned. He did it just to start drama. I texted him and told him that he wasn't going to be there when the baby was born because he didn't hold up his end of our agreement. He is trying to say he is going to be there no matter what and that he is going to be on the birth certificate (Which I know isn't possible if I don't allow him to be and such). What I'm curious about is if I'm wrong. I mean he is entitled to his opinion I know and I can't stop him from saying what he wants about me, but we had an agreement, and he did this publicly on facebook and has already made things way harder on me by doing this type of stuff (we live in a small town and he starts rumors and people start to harrass me) So I was curious if I'm wrong for not letting him be there, even after him going back on what we agreed on?

I don't want my baby's dad there when she is born. He is really disrespectful towards me and does nothing but stress me out and call me names. Even when we were together he did nothing but stress me out. The day she is born is supposed to be a very happy time for me, so why would I want him there if he is just going to make it alot harder on me? I also don't want her to have his last name. Just from what I know about him I feel like he is going to ditch out after a year or so. I'd actually prefer he had nothing to do with her at all but I'm not completely heartless like that. Am I wrong for not wanting him there when she's born? Am I in the wrong if I don't let him be at the hospital when she's born?

I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant. I haven't gotten any Braxton Hicks at all. This is my first pregnancy and I'm just curious when they should start? And when they do start, what do they typically feel like?

Okay. So we get my little brother every weekend. He is 15 months old. He sleeps with me when he's here, and last night in the middle of the night he just randomly started screaming in his sleep. Of course it woke me up, and I tried to get a better look at him and just to see if he got his arm caught in between the bed and the wall because it sounded like something was hurting him, but when I put my hand on him he just squirmed and he eventually ended up making an entire 90 degree turn and all of a sudden his screaming just stopped. He's never done this before, and it freaked me out a little. Is this normal for him to be doing this?

Okay. So I'm currently 29 weeks (okay so 28 weeks and 6 days) and my baby's activity isn't consistent. Like for a few days she will be extremely active and almost never stop moving, then its like she will be sleeping for a few days. Granted I will still feel her move just not as often. Should I be worried? Is it normal for her to be very active for a few days then not so active for a few days?

Okay. So while going to the rest room I wiped and out of habit I looked at the toilet paper and what I saw was this really snotty looking discharge. I almost don't want to call it discharge because it was so much thicker, even thicker than snot. It can't be my mucus plug can it? I'll only be 28 weeks on Wednesday. So what exactly is it?

Okay. So I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I have been getting random fits of nausea all day. I just passed it off as part of being pregnant. Well now not only do I feel like I'm going to throw up, I'm shaking, my legs feel really weird like they're going numb, and i got really hot and kinda dizzy. I'm worried.. Is this normal at all? Just part of being pregnant? Maybe the flu?

I'm almost 25 weeks pregnant. My baby isn't moving as often as she used too. I mean it was almost constantly before. Every time I sat down it was like she was staring in a Kung-Foo movie! No, a rarely feel her. I mean she still moves, not as often, or as strong though. Is this any reason for concern? I think I just need to be reassured that she is okay and that this is normal.

I'm currently pregnant. The father isn't in our lives and I've been thinking about this alot lately. When she gets older, how do I respond to the question "Why don't I have a daddy?" I'm worried. I don't just want to tell her that he left and doesn't care. But I don't want to make her think that she isn't good enough to have a daddy. I've thought about possibly getting in a relationship and having someone as a dad for her, but she is my main concern and I have no desire to be in a relationship with anyone. I don't want to have to split my attention like that. So my question is, how would you tell your daughter that it isn't her fault she doesn't have a dad but not too harsh to where it robs her of her innocence?

So this morning I woke up sick. Really bad nausea and really low abdominal pain like almost my vagina. I have vaginitis and wonder if this the infection getting worse or is it just something else totally different? I don't have insurance as of the first of this month so I don't want to go to the doctor unless its serious. Are these symptoms the infection getting worse?

My ex, who isn't playing any part in my pregnancy or anything, wants to be a part in our daughters life, (I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant) and I want him to be there for her. The thing is I'm under aged, he is too but he'll be 18 next month, and I'm moving to a different town about 2 hours away. He wants to have her every other week. I'm not okay with this at all. He plans on moving in with people who harass me. He has given me no support through this pregnancy and refuses to even talk to me about what we're going to do. I also don't think its healthy to pass an infant back and forth like that especially so far away so if something were to happen to her, I know he wouldn't tell me and I wouldn't be close enough to go the hospital. I'm not even sure he is going to be there when he is born and he has threatened to completely disown her if she doesn't have his last name! He is very irresponsible and childish and spends most of his time out and drinking. He won't even talk to me so I don't know whats going on with any of that. I'm trying but he isn't putting in any effort. Do I have to let him have every other week? Is it okay for a young child to be thrown back and forth like that from so far away? If he takes me to court over it would a judge rule in his favor and give him the every other week? I'm scared for her well-being.

Okay. So I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant. The father of my baby isn't talking to me and hasn't for a month. I've still tried to keep him updated on his daughter though because he said he wanted to be a part in her life. He doesn't ever ask me how things are going or how the pregnancy is going and he missed our last ultrasound. The few times I did get him to talk to me all he did was talk down on me and try and call me names. I've been trying to keep him updated on the pregnancy and how she's doing even though he doesn't ever reply to me and avoids me if I see him in public. Last night I went to the hospital because I started having really watery discharge and I texted him and told him. He never replied to me, so I figured maybe he was asleep or something. I never received anything asking if everything was okay. This morning, I found out that he was out partying all night and getting drunk. Really frustrated by this, I texted him and told him I was done keeping him updated and that I was tired of putting in the effort if he isn't going to put in any effort at all and that if he wanted to know how she was doing, when the next ultrasound is, when I go into labor, that he is going to have to check in with me and put in the effort because I'm done letting him know how things are going if he doesn't care. Was that too harsh? Did I do the right thing? I don't feel like I should be putting in all the effort for him to be a part of her life if he isn't going to put in any effort at all...

I just got back from the hospital. They said I have vaginitis. I currently don't have insurance and we can't afford the medication for it. I'm already a high risk pregnancy because I'm 15. I'm 23 weeks and this really makes me nervous. After doing research vaginitis can cause premature labor, I'm also really stressed and underweight. Is there any other mom's out there who have dealt with these problems and been able to carry their baby to full term and have healthy babies?

Okay. So today as I was getting into the shower, I noticed that I was leaking like a watery white type discharge. It worried my a little bit, its not like the normal discharge I have, and I've never had it just leak like that before. I'm 23 weeks pregnant. I posted earlier today about how I've been really stressed and underweight and having severe pains besides round ligament pains in my back and abdomen and I'm also 15. My clinic is closed and will be all weekend, So my question is should that type of white and watery uncontrollable discharge worry me at all?

Okay. I'm 15 and I'm 23 weeks pregnant. After doing calculation's, I have discovered that I am underweight for how for along I am. After doing research I learned that women whom are underweight tend to have premature babies. I'm a high risk pregnancy already because of my age, plus I have a lot of stress ever since this pregnancy. I've had severe pains (beside the round ligament pains) that I'll get in my lower abdomen and back that cripples me from even walking because it hurts so bad. I have that feeling in my gut that my baby is going to be premature. Is there anyone else that can relate and possibly put me at ease?

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, which is normal for me. Well I turned around to get comfortable and noticed severe pain in my lower abdomen. The problem has persisted this morning. It hurts extremely bad every time I try to move or do something. It's almost like a jabbing or pulling feeling. My baby isn't as active this morning either. And when I did feel him move, it didn't feel like it usually does and it was lower. Should I be concerned?
