I just found out today that I am pregnant....again. My first and only child has just turned 8 months old. My husband and I decided on the IUD for our contraception about 8 weeks after our son was born. I haven't been feeling well and my period is a couple weeks late, I took a test today and it's positive.

I hear the there is a 20% chance of miscariage when you have the IUD taken out. Has anyone ever gotten pregnant with an IUD before, and if so, what were the procedures and how soon before you know whether or not you baby was going to be okay?

My husband and I have talked about it and we have decided that we would like to have the baby if we can, so any advice anyone can give on how to up our chances of not miscarrying would be great. Oh, and before anyone goes the good care route, I have a wonderful team of mid-wives who took care of my first pregnancy and I have an appointment in the morning.

I have factor five leiden(which causes blood clotting) and I've been through two clots in my leg in my two pregnancies, one of them almost killed me and I was hospitalized for 17 days, if I get pregnant I should have a blood thinner injection everyday which hurts a lot, everybody says that two kids these days are enough and I'm very scared, what do you think?

We are transitioning our 5 month old daughter from sleeping in her cradle swing to sleeping in her crib. Last night was the first night that we forced her to sleep in her crib (we didnt let her cry it out, but kept putting her back to sleep in the crib, until she finally fell asleep 5 hours after we started trying). She slept for only 6 hours last night (she usually sleeps 10 or 11), and I am sure it was because of her crib. Today, she really hasnt taken a nap, because we keep trying to put her down in the crib. My question is, we can get our daughter to sleep on us or in her carseat in the car (and she takes a few naps like this during the week), should we allow her to sleep on us during this transition period during naptime or should we keep forcing her to sleep in the crib for her naps too and if she doesnt take her nap, she doesnt take her nap? I am sure she will transition just fine over the week and we DONT want to put her down in her cradle swing no matter what. Thanks!

M infant son who will be 5 months old july 3rd cries for no reason. His peditrican gave him a head to toe exam and ruled out colic and basically said, he is just fussy!!! He cries and whines non- stop , at least 2 times a day. How can i deal? I kicked my foot and made a hole in the wall today, the other day, i broke a crib wheel off his crib, he drives me that nuts. My daughter as an infant was so good, he is a terror!!! I dread a new day coming cuz i know i have to put up with his crying nonstop again(I have him 11 hours a day) . I get so depressed cuz of it. I am even fighting with his dad cuz of it now. If i hold him, he gets even more iriatated, I just have to leave him in his crib and close the door. has anyone else gone through this?? I'm afraid he is going to be so bad as a toddler

we're looking for unusual, but normal sounding, like our first son's name is Dade. We have a couple names but are still up in the air about them and if there could be one we like better. Our names are either: Roan Jayce or Jayce Philip.... our last name is Nelson.

I read about the girl who did'nt know she was pregnant, because she still had her period.
my queastion is: my last period was light in color, only needed one tampon per day (only covered less than half of it) for about 4.5 days. my period usually last 5-8 days.
this period was unexpected because I had no pms symptoms. now I just started my period again and my breast are slightly soar, and have mild cramps, it is day 2
and it is still kind of light. but about 4-5weeks ago I felt pregnancy symptoms something terrible. now that I am on my period again the symptoms are gone. what's up with that?

My best friend is old enough to be my mother, she is really nice and caring but, here is the problem,, she treats me like a child but she gives her daughter what she wants. we live together for now until we can get money to go our seperate ways. she says that she is my elder. i thought when you became an adult you were equal with other adults. She is driving me up the wall. i dont want to throw her out because she has nothing. when she gets money to leave that is different. what should i do if need more detail just ask.
ps: please help me with all the advice you all can give
this is not a relationship

First of all, don't get me wrong: I am neither talking about parents physically abusing their children, nor I intend to do it to my kids when I have them. I am just asking: do you think it is ok for a parent to slap a kid who is being terrible, throwing tantrums in public and not responding to any forms of reasoning? I understand that it in no way should be a form of parenting, but I guess parents sometimes can be driven nuts and loose their patience. Have you experienced it? Have you done it to your kid? What were the consequences?

I got the depo shot on April 14th and had sex the next day. I had to go back to my doctor for something and he told me that the shot doesnt start working for close to a week. and we didn't use a condom. I am suppose to go get my next shot next month and for a few reasons we decided im not going to. but i have been throwing up throughout the morning and afternoon everyday and have been feeling really tired and my breasts have been hurting and i've been having headaches a lot....could i be pregnant and how can i find out? I cannot take a athome preg. test because it goes by HCG level and the shot lowers it. I was preg. before and had an ectopic preg. i am engaged and ready to have a baby and so is my fiance. so if u know anything about this please let me know and if im not preg.....what is the best way of getting preg.??

Thanks for all your help....
