Bloated in the first trimester?
Im only in my 5th WEEK of pregnancy with my first - so I know its physically impossible for me to be showing - the baby right now is only the size of a sesame seed according to my pregnancy book. I just dont understand why I already look thick in my midsection - I litterally have a poochy little belly already that I have NEVER had before - Im average size and in good shape (54 and 120 lbs) I havnt changed my eating habbits really - other than just eating even healthier so what on earth is going on?? Is this just some sort of pregnancy bloating? Is this possibly just because my uterus is starting to grow? Im I simply full of air and gas? Could something be wrong? Did anyone else have this so early on? *Its like period bloating except it hasnt gone away in 2 weeks!

My ex-husband promised me he would be there for my pregnancy but there is a new girl in the picture?
Im 25 he is 26 and she is 21. we were together 9 years married 6. as much as my heart ached we got divorced. We were living in different states when i found out i was having his baby since he at the time was in the military. he was supposedly excited about the baby and he promised that once he moved back ( he was finishing his military term) he would be there for me for the remainder of the pregnancy and be part of the experience. After much hesitation from my part, he convinced me that we should try to work out a friendship for the sake of the baby. he told me how he missed me, could not wait to see me, that he enjoyed talking to me because no one had so much with him in common than i did and he even even said that he was not talking to anyone and interested in anyone and although right now he was not trying to pursue a reconciliation with me that maybe one day that we never knew that we might be together again. i always pulled away for fear of a heartbreak and told him he had to be patient with me. The day after he arrives to the state I live in he tells me that he out of respect for me he wanted to let me know that he just got into a relationship with someone and that it was something that was not just a passing thing. I was devastated. The doctors appointments, the lunch meetings we had planned, the lamaze classes we arranged he said he would not go becuase he did not want me to go through anymore emotional pain which to me is an excuse. i found out through his siter that while he was talking to me he was already talking' to the other girl. she is her sister ex-best friend and her sister is fearful that there is a hidden agenda from her and that she does not understand why he is crazy about her that he has not been there for me and he is not speaking to her since she does not approve of their relationship. after him being with the girl for a month and not contacting me for that time, he emails me asking about how i was doing and my doctors appointments and that he still wants us to work on a freindship. i cant be friends with someone who cant put his child first so i did not respond. after a month with her, he claims that he is inlove with her and she is wonderful, moved in with her after a week getting with her all the while she still lives with her parents. i want to move on for the sake of my child and focus on the healthy development of my child, but as a woman i am hurt and am trying to understand why would he do this to me after everything him and i been through. his family does not approve of the situation and they say I was very good to him and dont know what happend. im 8 months pregnant now and i havent even gotten a pack of diapers from him. i cannot beleive how a man who used to treat me like a queen now has neglected me during this time. what is happening to him? do men tend to do this a lot to women? will he ever wake up and face the situation?

VERY concern what is going to happen?
My friend (honest to God it isn't me) is pregnant for the 3rd time she is a stay at home mom (by choice) her husband works for his family so they raised his pay after she started having kids so she could be home. when they got married she wasn't able to sign up under his ins because of a heart condition so each pregnancy she has had medicaid well for some reason and I really don't know why she wasn't able to get medicaid for this pregnancy and said she couldn't afford to cont. going to the dr so at about 20ish weeks she stopped going she is due early Sept and I worried there is going to be so much drama when she goes into labor she is knowingly not getting care and she doesn't seem to care she says well if i could get asst then we wouldn't have this problem but I've given her #s to call for help birthing centers that would work with her but she hasn't done anything with the info she says when she goes into labor she will just go to the hospital because they cant refuse her which is true but will they send a social worker will she risk losing her child for neglect? Besides all the things that could go wrong they haven't monitored her blood pressure the baby could be breech so many other things we live in florida if that helps with your answer I don't know what to do plus the other day she thought she was in early labor but didn't go to the hospital because she cant go till she is for sure sure she also passed out the other day but says its just cause she didn't eat but she hasn't felt the same since what would she do if she goes over her due date. what walk into the er and say i need to be induced im a week over due and this could be dangerous ERG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish there was a magic word I could say to make her see what she is doing is wrong no on else seems to be so worried about what she is doing so maybe im the crazy one i don't know
