My baby is 8 weeks old..she was 2 weeks early..she sleeps most of the day..she's only awake around 4 o 5 hours..is that normal? 4 to 5 hours a day awake is actually pretty good! My 1 week old is only awake about 1-2 hours out of the day. She was also 2 weeks early but very healthy. There are different types of babies.

If you have an abortion, would there be any reason for your stomach to appear swollen, as if you were newly pregnant a few days after the procedure? no sharp incline in pain, but noticeable swollen belly... Its normal. If you have increased pain then its not normal. What your are experiencing now is equal to what you would feel if you had a baby. The procedure is a fairly violent one that is going to cause swelling and tenderness. But I'm sure that when you were discharged they gave you a paper telling you whats normal, and when to call. Increased bleeding, more than a pad an hour or...

I am 15 and have been thinking about having a baby.... Any advice or suggestions? Please enjoy your childhood while you still have it. A baby will not give you the love that you are looking for. Babies take. They take and take for a long time before they start to give. It takes a grown, mature person to not only handle how much they require but to find reward in giving all your time, love and energy to a baby. Time and time again I have seen teenage moms unable to give a...

My girlfriend took an pregnancy test and it came up positive. Then we went to plan parent hood and she took another one from there and it came back negative. Were not sure what to do? Can someone give us some tips? False positives are a lot rarer than false negatives. If you get one of each, believe the positive one. Go get a blood test done. It will have to be at a Doctors office. Planned Parenthood and the Health Dept do not do these. It took me 6 weeks to get a positive urine test with my last 2 pregnancies.

WHAT SHOULD BE AVERAGE WEIGHT OF A HEALTHY NEW BORN BABY 7lbs is a good weight. Girls can be a bit lighter. I guess between 6.5 to 7.5 for girls and 7 to 8 for boys. They will be bigger depending on factors of the pregnancy like Gestational Diabetes and the weight gain of the mother. But in a normal pregnancy with weight gain under 20lbs the above weight is the norm. (I am a mother of 4)

Is it true that once you have given birth you forget the pain because you are so elated by your newborn baby? The real reason you forget the pain is because during birth, the blood is rushing to your uterus and leaving your brain a tad lacking on the oxygen. Add any kind of drugs to that and your complete memory of the event is gonna be missing a few pieces. Plus your body releases endorphines directly after you deliver. I can remember that it hurt like hell, but every time I do it again I think that...

In my opinion, which some may not agree with, pull back on the chicken and milk in her diet. It is loaded with growth hormones that is causing her to develop quicker and is probably what is making them so sore. She can experience the soreness anyway, just like boys get cramps in their legs, but if its bad, I have a hunch that pulling back on them will calm it down and may postpone starting her...

My period is 7 weeks late and my last period was 4 weeks late, 7 tests have said negative had some pregnancy symptoms. Could i be pregnant? You could be. Your probably not, but I would go to the Gyno to get a blood test anyway to be sure and then maybe they can tell you why you are consistently late. There could be a serious reason for late, irregular periods, or depending on your age, could be menopause, which you can go into prematurely. My mother in law did at age 36.

Maybe you are off on the actual time you got pregnant. but if you are late, all signs are pointing to yes so far. The bleeding is normal. You can either retest every couple of days, or you can make an appointment for a blood test.

Answer to:
I recently went on vacation and took extra horomone birthcontrol pills to avoid my period while there. my husband and i had unprotected sex and he did not pull out. this was yesterday. could i possibly be pregnant? If you normally take the pill and took extra pills, I would say probably not. Is there a reason for you believe that you are pregnant. Typically the point of taking the pill is so you can have unprotected sex with your husband, right?

Answer to:
It's been 4 months and I haven't had my period. I had some spotting 30 days ago but that was it. All of HPT tests have been negative. Should I assume the spotting was my period and that I'm not pregnant? I'm sure there is more to this but yes, listen to cardinal. Are you on the depo-provera shot? There are some birth controls that can stop periods. I didn't have mine for almost 4 years because of the shot.

Answer to:
AM I PREGNANT? I TOOOK 2 HPT AND THEY CAME OUT POSITIVE BUT THEN I GOT MY PERIOD BUT THE IT CAME OUT LIGHTER THAN USUAL USUALLY I CARRY A HEAVY PERIOD. SHOULD I TEST AGAIN AFTER MY PERIOD OR GO TO THE DOCTOR? Sometimes you will continue to have a period. I would say you are pregnant though. I have never heard of a false positive on hpt. I would get to the doctor though just in case there is something wrong.

Answer to:
Have any of u heard of women that were pregnant but never test positive on a hpt? My last pregnancy I had problems with hpt. It took 2 weeks beyond when I was supposed to start my period to get a positive test result. This scared me because I knew I was pregnant. This is caused from the mother not producing enough HCG hormone which is what is detected for a positive test result. I had lost a child previously due to not producing enough of the growth hormone. Weather to worry...

I had sex 12/31 We used a condom and im on the pill He also pulled out I started my period same time i usualy do It didnt seem right to me, bc the blood was brown thought it was just stress im my period now, still brown. Ive gained weight 110-20 pregnant? doubt it if you really took all those precautions. Have you taken a test? You could be gaining weight from having irregular periods, and your periods could be irregular due to the pill. Take a test, and see your OB. You may need to change pills.

If a girl is 13 going on 14 and a lil chubby and strong and she gets pregnant what are the chances that she could die during pregnancy The younger you are the higher the risk. This also holds true for older women. A 13 to 14 year old will be a very high risk pregnancy, for both mother and child but mostly for the child. Your body is not truly ready to develop a child right now, but you will likely NOT die. As long as you go to the Doctor, eat right and take your vitamins and do not do anything to increase your risk like smoke...

What do unborn babies see? I don't think much light actually penetrates the uterus. When you see the pictures of an unborn baby in the womb, they have a light connected to the camera much like in laproscopy. I would say, in my opinion, they don't see anything until they come out and even then, its blurry light.

Answer to:
If you ask ped. and family planning they say a child should not see their opposite sex parent naked after they are three years old, because it's inappropriate and confusing for the child, and at that age can start to remember things. So if they say it can I do think it raises a good point. I remember my third birthday to a tee. So if I were a boy, and being breastfed at the age of three, or older, I think I would feel differently about my mother. Not bad or anything, I just wouldn't want to recall that memory. I would think it would defiantly have an effect on a child's sexuality in some way. My husband recalls getting his first...

What do you think Jesus meant when he said: "whatever you ask for, believe you already have it, and it will be yours"..(something like that, anyway). Aside from all the scripture quotes, telling yourself that you have something that you wish for is called affirmations. Its a very positive form of meditation which Jesus did a lot of. Actual history has said that Jesus the man, spent much time with Buddhist people on his travels where they taught him to meditate/pray in a trance like state. So I just logically connect them together.

My 10 month old baby is not eating as she used to, could this be a problem. Sometimes their appetite will decrease and they will sleep a lot. It doesn't last very long and it is usually because they are going through a growth spurt. But saying that, it sounds like there may be more to your question. I would say, if its going on for more than a week or so, or is accompanied by any other symptoms, call the Dr.

Try not to look at it as needy, but more like dependent. And you would rather them be dependent on you than someone else because you are the parent.
