My two month old has been very upset, runny nose, pulling her ear, sometimes red cheek and justy started biting me when feeding. I thought just for fun I would check for teeth and I felt a sharp point at the top right side of her gum. I had a look and I can see a white dot (tooth) poking out her gum. Has anyone heard of this with there bubs or has it happened to yours?Feel free to comment :-)

Im stressing! I`m 39weeks 1day pregnant.My neice came over for 50min today & we found chicken pox on her. I have had chicken pox. I didnt touch her or even kiss her but I am worried what if i get it. I read that if I get it 5 to 2 days before delivery there is a chance of mortality in the baby. Should I be worried? What should I do?

I`m 38weeks 5days with my first pregnancy.I have been having cramps and pains including pressure and ligament pain for atleast two weeks now and last night I had strange very different more intense pain. My pelvic area (not urinary), lower back and high in upper thighs felt a burning tingling pain and I had some strange cramp feelings that kind of spun me out (different to normal period pain but wave like/only quick/ with bubs kicking/some period pain type feelings as well. I have had no show. Could these strange sensations mean labour is closer? I know it`s hard to tell, but did anyone experience similar symptoms hours or days before labor?

At 35 weeks I started getting nausea again. The midwife said it was because I suffered it so bad at the begining of my pregnancy (had to leave work at 6.5 weeks) Has anyone else found this? Mind you it isn`t near as bad as it was in early pregnancy.

I`m 35 weeks and everytime I stand I get these twinges in my girly parts and it feels like the baby or fluid is going to fall out (of course I know the baby wont).

I am 33 weeks pregnant and having very uncomfortable cramp type pains in my lower pelvic area as well as just inside the top of my hip bone area (it is not a tummy ache).
