I've heard stories that women "stretch out" during natural childbirth. I'm afraid that if this happens I will never enjoy sex again, and neither will my husband. Did you stretch out? How did it affect your sex life?

Okay, I am just curious - If you get artificially inseminated ( where your purchase a vial of sperm and insert it into your vagina yourself ) and you are a virgin ( hymen intact ) can you actually get pregnant ? Does the sperm not go near the cervix or uterus because of the hymen??

He whines and cries when he doesn't get his way. He is very stubborn. Right now I am trying to ignored him. I have tried talking to him, I have explained he will not get his way, He has to grow up he is not a baby. When he starts I send him to his room. Trust me I check on him 20 min later and he is still at it. I am getting old, all the whinning drives me crazy, it is very frustating. What can I do?

my baby just turned 7mts, she is around 16.5 lbs, she has always been a fussy eater, been on formula from the beginning. I use the avent bottle and she always has driven me nuts when it came to her feed time so much so that i don't look fwd to feeding her but i do coz i must. She would take about 25oz a day until i started her on solids. i had to stand and feed herdistract her and sometimes force feed her just to get formula in her system
Then i put her on the high chair instead of the regular feeding position, it wkd for 3 days and then again it was just 2oz and then back to distracting showing her stuff singing and i would manage another 2oz, she doesn't take milk from the bottle in her sleep at all she tries to jump out of my lap. Now I put her in the high chair and give her milk in a bowl with added cereal so that she gets at least 15 to 17oz a day, I give her one or two veggie jars and sometimes yougurt, now is off the bottle completely and sometimes even throws up her cereal.

Ok my past questions have had a lot of answers that helped me so lets see if yall can help me on this one.I am 13 years old and i have 5 brothers and sister all 8 and younger.my mom likes to shop alot and go to her sisters houses(which are all 2 hours away) but the thing is,she makes me babysit them all!!like when her and my step dad go out to shop they usually take a detour and go to a store hours away leaving me with all of these kids!the bad thing about it,even though i babysit them,when they get home they always fuss me for doing something wrong(like if i forget to change a diaper they punish me) i just dont think its right to babysit for hours and get fussed anyway.What do yall think about this?Do yall think i should stand up to them?Or should i just leave it alone?

This is my second month using the OPKs. Last month I never seemed to get a positive reading from the OPK sticks. My cycle was all out of whack, and next thing I knew AF arrived. This time to make sure I would catch my surge, I began testing right after AF left. A week from today it was positive.. I was sooo excited. I went ahead and checked on Wednesday - positive again. From there it dropped off to no line at all. So, we BDed tons and I assumed I ovulated. Just because I'm super curious and skeptical, I kept using the sticks. Sunday it was positive again (both lines were equally dark once again). Monday - not quite positive, but almost. Today, no lines at all. Is it positive to O twice?? or is my body just playing tricks on me? I have no idea how many DPO I am and thats driving me crazy. Any ideas would be awesome!! Thanks :)

certain things i find repulsing at even the thought of it, but most thing i see i want to eat it. i want to eat almost 5-10 things at once. just looking in my fridge makes me want to have a thanksigiving feast all to myself. like i said im only 5 weeks preg. Is anyone else going through this. Is it normal so early to never seem to get full. i eventually take a break from eating only because i cant fit anymore food in my belly, but not because im done eating

How many kids does one have and want?? I am 34 and just fine with my 2 kids...they are far apart in age which i like. 8 year old daughter and a soon to be 5 month old son. I have somewhat of a life as my daughter is a big help to me. I really don't know how these parents do it that have 2 kids close in age. I see it all the time and they don't look happy.

I know this couple with a Sealy high quality mattress that cost them about $100.

It is about a year old and has always been covered and has no stains.

Their daughter only used it for the last 3 months and now is moving to new home and they are giving it to me.

So is it okay to use it for my new baby when it was only used for 3 months and always taken care of?

I have taken 3 HPT last one like a week ago, all negative and had a blood test done on the 14th of June, also Negative.
