Are there things I should avoid eating during pregnancy?
Posted Wednesday February 24 2010, 5:53 am
I just found out I'm pregnant and I know I should give my baby what is best for him/her but I really don't know much about pregnancy. This is going to be my first baby and it was completely unplanned so I'm pretty nervous/scared.
Anyway, I got to thinking yesterday about the things I eat and how healthy they might be for the baby. Then I was thinking...like, you're not suppose to give dogs chocolate (or so I heard) and stuff like that...you know, rules about foods...is there anything I'm not suppose to eat while I'm pregnant?
I have a doctor's appointment in two weeks but I want to get a jump-start on this...so if anybody can list some things I can and cannot eat while pregnant I would be really happy so I ca...

Better skin..need advice.
Posted Tuesday February 23 2010, 6:45 pm
So I'm 15/f and my skin has been a little rough lately. I've always had very clear, soft skin. I use no makeup except concealer under my eyes. (I have dark circles) But lately, this school year, my skin has been getting weird for me. On my cheeks, I've been getting pimples and in between my eyebrows too. I don't have acne...not at all really, but I used to have such great skin and now it's getting worse. I use Aveeno Clear Complexion Cleanser at night, and in the morning I just wash with water. I use Fresh Soy Face Cream after I clean my face, but it gets me so aggravated! I want my soft, clear skin back. I'm a tan person. In the summer, my hair and skin thrives and everything is great. But, I'm in New york and it's a long, rough winter. My...

Natural remedies or cures for indigestion and heartburn?
Posted Tuesday February 23 2010, 3:27 am
My spouse suffers from nasty heart burn episodes sometimes and we are trying to find something that might stop these attacks. He was taking some baking soda mixed with water solution for the issue that worked very well but we recently found out that it is extremely unhealthy for the body. We were curious if anyone knew any nice remedies they have used for heartburn episodes?

Talking to my GP.
Posted Monday February 22 2010, 12:12 pm
About a week ago I asked a question about going on the pill and talking to my mom about it. Thank you for those who answered :)
Now, as I had planned to ask her during the weekend, she beat me to it and asked me if I would like to go on the pill. I am grateful she did, and now everything is sorted. I booked an appointment for next week.
The only thing is that my GP who I've been seeing for years is a male. He's young, which makes things more relaxed, however, I somehow have the feeling it might be awkward to ask him about the pill. I really wouldn't like to change my GP, since he knows me and everything.
I'm just wondering how I can relax and not be embarrassed about asking him and talking to him about my sexual activity and such...
Thanks!

Difference between lap band and gastric bypass
Posted Sunday February 21 2010, 12:44 am
My mom is married to this really, really fat guy and he is going to be having the lap-band done. He tried to lose the weight with diet and exercise but he has gained the weight back and he is entirely too large so his health is at risk. He's already on heart medication and high blood pressure medication. He went into the hospital before because he got to be so big his lungs started to fill with fluid! I understand their desire to get this type of surgery done so that he can actually live.
I'm curious about the lap-band though. What is the difference between the lap band and gastric bypass? When my mom said he would be having the "lap band surgery" I said, "Don't you mean gastric bypass surgery?" and ...

Why do I fall asleep while driving?
Posted Saturday February 20 2010, 11:59 pm
I always get at least 7 hours of sleep each and every night. I work 7 hour shifts (usually) about 5 days a week (sometimes 6 days). I never really feel tired at work but when I get behind the wheel I am always falling asleep!
The drive home isn't really long or anything but I've found myself to dose off about 6 or 7 times each time I'm driving. At first I start yawning and the next thing I know I'm jerking myself awake!
My boyfriend told me to roll all the windows down and turn the radio up loudly so that I wouldn't be comfortable to sleep. It doesn't seem to help though because I keep finding myself waking up while on the road.
I'm really, really afraid that one of these times I'm going to d...

What things should I avoid during pregnancy?
Posted Saturday February 20 2010, 2:56 am
I just found out that I'm a few weeks pregnant and it's been pretty stressful trying to change my lifestyle around. I have stopped drinking and have cut down dramatically on smoking cigarettes. I know you're not suppose to do other drugs like weed so I have been staying away from my friends who do those things so I don't end up in a bad situation for my baby.
What else do I need to avoid though? What else is bad for my baby? I don't want to be taking something in my body that is harmful if I can avoid it and I don't want to be doing things that will risk my baby's health. Is it ok to exercise and stuff when you're pregnant too? I don't know anything about this...please give me some advice!

How long does it take to heal?
And how long does it take for the swelling to go down?
Also, how long does it take for it to stop hurting when I eat?

I had an orgasm when I was being raped...
Posted Thursday February 18 2010, 3:24 am
I was raped last summer and I just can't get it out of my head. It was the worst thing that has EVER happened to me. I was staying with my dad at his house and I went to hang out with some people there and when I was walking home this guy totally raped me. I was frightened and I'm still not over it even though I told both of my parents immediately.
The main reason I'm having problems dealing with it is because I had an orgasm when I was raped. It was not the first time I had actually had sex but it was the first orgasm I had experienced. I didn't like the sex though! I didn't WANT to be raped or anything! I don't know what happened and why I had the orgasm. I feel so stupid and disgusting. What is wrong with me for ...

I can't cum when I masturbate
Posted Wednesday February 17 2010, 7:22 pm
16/M
When I masturbate I cannot ejaculate. It's really embarrassing and I'm not going to go to my parents and say, "Hey, when I masterbate I'm not able to cum out! Should I see a doctor?"
I have masturbated many times now but I never reach orgasm. I've tried different techniques, have tried "cumming" quickly, and have tried jacking off for a long period of time before trying to "cum" but it never happens!
What's more embarrassing is that I urinate instead of cumming, it seems. I've peed on my bed twice now because I was trying to reach climax. I now stand over the toilet to masturbate so when it gets to the point of urination I won't make a mess again. It is ...

How do I know if I'm using a tampon that is too heavy for my flow?
Posted Wednesday February 17 2010, 6:36 pm
I've just started using tampons for my period and I've noticed they don't come in a wide array of sizes really (light, regular, super, super plus from what I've seen). I picked up the super absorbencies since my period flow is really heavy but it feels pretty uncomfortable when I insert it. I thought maybe after the tampon soaked up some that it would be more comfortable and "normal" feeling but it still feels the same.
I read that you could get TSS from using a tampon that was too heavy for your flow and I really don't want to risk that. How do I know if my tampon is too big?

odor
Posted Wednesday February 17 2010, 4:45 pm
i posted a question on here a while back about being unsure about whether or not i had a yeast infection. well, i'm pretty sure i don't, considering i'm not "uncomfortable" and i don't itch. but i do smell terrible. i went to the store recently and got some vaginal deodorant, but it only seems to work for about an hour, and then i smell really bad again. i spray it on/around my vaginal area and in my underwear because it said to do that for extra strength, but it still wears off.
does anyone know of any good products that could get rid of this horrid odor? it's frustrating me to no end. thanks for any advice.
