I would really love to have a child in my near future, but I have some issue’s that I fear may cause me some complications…I suffer from anxiety/panic attacks, depression, & hypochondria. I take medication for anxiety/depression, & go to counseling for it as well, along with my hypochondria. My blood pressure tends to go up when I’m under stress, so this is also another issue I’m concerned about…Like I said, I’d really love to have my own child, but do you think all of this would be too much for me to handle? (mentally)…I don’t really have that much trouble with depression, & here lately I’ve been doing pretty good with my anxiety/panic attacks, but I fear ANY type of problem during my pregnancy may trigger it, or make my depression worse…..Any good advice?.

Hello everyone, I am 19 years old and need the opinion of some women who know a bit about the female body. For the past two years I have been chronically losing weight and now I am an all time low of 78 pounds, and although I am only five feet tall, this is the skinniest I have ever been and no longer have a “female figure”; it’s tearing me up. I have placed myself on very strict “over-eating” diet, and forcing myself to eat as much as I can, fattening foods especially, but the weight stays off. The reason I suspect this is a female problem is because I also have pretty bad PCOS that makes it hard just to get up in the morning sometimes. I also have almost constant headaches and unexplainable depression. I shouldn’t have depression, I have more support than the Brooklyn Bridge when it comes to my family and friends, and yet I always feel so miserable.
I also have constant lower back pain…
As well as this, between 10-15 times a day I get this horrible stabbing, “twisting” pain in my right ovary, and only the right one. My pain goes from a 0 to a 100 in one second and the pain lasts for about five to ten minutes. It isn’t a rupture or anything because the pain is NOT constant, but it happens everyday.
So headaches, depression, extreme weight loss I can’t control, PCOS, lower back pain and ovary pain… what do you think?
I am getting a few procedures under anesthesia done this week to determine what is wrong with me hopefully, but before that, I just want you guy’s opinion.
And just so you know, I have an IUD in so it can’t be pregnancy, I had the doctor test me anyway and it was negative, and I also had them test me for any STD’s and I was clean. The doctor said it sounds a bit like Crohns Disease or something like that… Should I be worried? I’m only 19 I shouldn’t have to deal with this.

My hormones are OUT OF CONTROL. Please tell me this will go with pregnancy!!!!!!!!! I am a wreak and my poor husband thinks I am crazy. I just cry, cry, cry. I am 36weeks and the baby is always hurting me (ALWAYS) and I hate being pregnant. I lose sleep and have the worst day the next day! HELP!

My boyfriend and his brother purchased a house together almost 2 years ago. I began dating him since they moved in to the house. I am now 4 months pregnant and living with them both. We have had many problems and conflicts with his brother. He is almost 33, single and can not get a girlfriend. My boyfriend feels that he is stuck living in this house at the moment and feels like he can not leave his brother stuck. I am constantly depressed and feel horrible living in this house. I want more then anything to have a place where I can live with my baby and boyfriend alone and in peace. My boyfriend is different when his brother is around and we never have time or privacy for just the two of us. My boyfriend is almost 30 and I am almost 25. I am still in school and he feels that this isn’t a good time to move out. He says i need to finish school and he needs to grow his Business more. I have an apt that I never stay in because my boyfriend wants me to live with him. We live in the outskirts of a city in the country. My apt is further in the country then his house. Staying there alone does not make me feel any better. I do not know what to do… I feel like all the stress and lack of emotional and physical support from my boyfriend during this pregnancy is hurting me and the baby. He is more concerned with his work and family then with me and this child. Everyone says that once the baby is here he will change, but how can i be sure. His family support him and his brother in everything and have been the main ones to tell him that he can not move out and leave his brother. ( Since he is alone and single and has problems with depression) I have talked to my boyfriend many many many times but nothing changes. He doesn’t see anything wrong rather I am the one with the problem. ( that is what i am sure is parents make him believe) I didnt know what to do.. I am sad everyday and feel like he is not here for me the way I need him to be. When we lay in bed and i ask him to rub my back or massage me he says he is tired from working all day. And is usually falling asleep. I feel like i have no support and it just makes it 100 times worse the living situation and that I have no family or friends in this state. Advice would be great.. And if i sound emotional I am.. its a very difficult time…

I am 14 weeks pregnant and extremely happy to be having a baby. The only problem is I am so moody and I am driving my fiance up the wall. I am so touchy and get upset with everything he says. We went to a party on Friday and I get upset even when he talks to my friends. Its like I’m so insecure. I was never like this before – I believed in my relationship.
I’m so scared that I am pushing my fiance away – he even said this morning that he wishes the pregnancy was over so I can be normal again.

Please help – I really don’t know what to do.

For the very rude LUV2HELP!!! His brother doesnt care about him or anyone! He went as far as physically pushing to get through and attack his brother!

Well I’m a single mom, college fulltime and work and a load of other stuff, I have a hair disorder, where when I get stressed my hair will fall out, so I went to the doc today to get medicine to help with the stress, she told me to just keep taking my prenatal vitamins, I told her I wanted to be treated, so she put me on a antidepressant, this to me seems wrong. I love to wake up in the morning, etc, I would consider myself highly stressed but not depressed. Any opinions? Please and thank u. No negative advice please!

I was just wondering whether i would be able to get some life advice here, i guess i should start from the beginning. I had a miscarriage at 4 months last october and it hasn’t been until lately i don’t think i have got over the emotional side of it. I guess because i was so excited and happy about having a baby its now made me want it even more because of that. I also had a miscarriage in march 2008 and another this year in march, Both times i didn’t know i was pregnant.
In some ways im thankful that i lost my babies last year as i was in an abusive relationship, but after meeting my partner in november last year things have been great, i was happier than ever, we have since moved in together and got to know everything about each other.
My partner told me at the beginning of the relationship that he wanted children too and i didn’t say anymore about it, but we had an open conversation a couple of weeks ago and he told me he didn’t know what he wanted in the future and that he didn’t want kids. This has broken my heart and i even thought of leaving him, I mean, what is the point of being with someone who doesn’t want what you want right? I’m so confused, i’ve since kept my thoughts to myself, and its killing me, I’m so depressed and i keep crying to myself, he does notice the sadness in my face and asks me if im ok but i can’t bring myself to talk to him about it, i just think that if i talk to him about it ill lose him anyway, i don’t want to pressure him into having a future that he doesn’t want, we both deserve to be happy, but he has already said that he feels im making him choose between me and children or nothing, i really don’t want to lose him or hurt him but a life without having children is something i can’t bare. Everyone is having children lately and even my best friend has discovered that she is 7 weeks pregnant so i cant even talk to her about my problems because she is so happy about her pregnancy, Please help!! x
