Sometimes parents get offended when you try and show them that something is unhealthy mentally, hygenically or socially. Some parents are very close minded or mentally inept or believe that "That was the way I grew up, so it must be right(even though they grew up in a bad household and they didnt turn out all that well)" .How do you tell them without causing conflict?

I've had miscarriages before, but this one is different. I am or was 6 weeks preg. and sunday i began to bleed. on monday i passed a small to medium sized clot, and still bled with heavy cramping. and today, on tuesday, i am not hurting at all and the bleeding has gone down to almost nothing. my other miscarriages i bled for almost two weeks. Any one know the normal length of miscarriage bleeding? or has anybody else gone through this?

I'm 3 weeks late, have a abit of cold, I've been taking Advil. I took a test yesterday and it was invaild, didn't even work. Do you think the advil had something to do with this? Has this happened to anyone else, where the test didn't work? Were you pregnant?

Before we got married, my husband said he'd like to have at least one child. He knew I wanted more, but I was willing to accept to have just one. Seven years later (and 3 years of trying but not being successful) he's decided that he doesn't want a child. Unfortunately for me, though, I think that's the right decision for him. I don't know what breaks my heart more....that we aren't getting pregnant or that he doesn't want to. I can't force him into something like this...that isn't right at all. Divorce is not an option...I love him, and besides, even if we did divorce what if I can't conceive....where would that get me? I'm trying to accept this, our vows are very sacred to me. However, I don't feel in the mood much because it is a horrendous reminder that 1)we are having unprotected sex but not getting pregnant and 2) he doesn't want a child of our own. How do I cope?

We both sleep better if he's in the bed with me. ( it's a queen, plenty of room) I can just roll over to feed him without a lot of disturbance to either of us. He's 2 mos. old and I worry about SIDS. Has anyone else done this?

Everyone knows that the first thing a person will look twords is the condom, and although it offers some protection things can still go wrong (it has a hole, its a cheep brand, wrong size, or past its experation date). And other meathods like the pill could cause problems for both you and your partner (women can develop abnormalites and the hormones from the pill can cause men to develop female characteristics). And of course there is the not so safe safe sex (AKA Pulling out), and we all know how that turns out (Pregnet Girl: I didn't know pre-*** could get you pregnet).

NOTE: This question is not ment to offend anyone, if you disagree with what I'm saying then just ignore me, I'm not here to judge anyone, I'm just asking "WHAT DO YOU THINK IS SAFE SEX?"

I don't want to discover the reason when it's too late to have children. I 've been asking people this question for a long time and I haven't gotten a good answer. I love kids and I have a lot in my life, but I don't know if I want any of my own.

Am I a selfish person? Am I overlooking something?

My great uncle died and my mother wants me to attend the funeral with the baby. I plan to stop and nurse every two hours. I am by myself and the baby will be riding in an infant seat in my auto. Is this safe for the baby riding for a long period of time in the same position or should I decline the visit?

Has anyone given natural birth (w/no meds) without taking any birthing classes? If so, did u regret not taking them? For those who took classes, did they help a lot, or could you have done w/out them? My hospital says it is too late for me to take them, and I'm planning on giving birth w/no meds. What's in store for me? I'm kinda worried.

I think maybe wanting a baby so bad is what is making me not get pregnant is that a problem wanting a baby so bad that you can not get pregnant & also do you think that might be why I am not pregnant yet?

I finished the 21 days on the pill, and me and my husband decided that its time to go of the pill. After the intial normal witdrawel bleeding we engaged in alot of unprotected sex. Its been 11 days since the first time, however after that i've been feeling quite weird. Bloated, nausea, and period cramps. I know this might be attributable to going of the pill. But i just noticed a bloody discharge after having sex. I couldnt be pregnant - could i????

of pain and not my insition, but my back, and not the area where the needle was administerd, but on the upper left side of my back. It was really really bad for the first 2 weeks. It calmed down but it still bothers me. Does anyone know if the person who administered the epidural could have possibly done it wrong or could this be normal? Again its not in the same spot where the needle was given to me, it's furter up. I have never had this problem before or during the pregnancy. Also i went to a regular doctor to check it out and they said it's not muscular. So i didn't pull anything.
