My children are 4 (10/01) and 3 (6/03), I am trying to teach them proper nutrition and boundries. Every single time I turn my back for even a second ( I can't even leave them alone long enough to go to the bathroom) they are in to something they shouldn't be, ie,: fruit snacks, freezie pops, trying to sneak out the front door, trying to get into the medicine cabinet, trying to play with my ipod, camcorder, camera, taking things apart, torturing the cat or dog. I feel as though it is never ending. I have tried many things. I used to think that it was just an attention isssue. But I am a stay at home mom and if they were to get any more of my attention, I would forget to breathe. It is especially hard this summer. We just put up a fence and a swing set and a sandbox and I have to fight with them to go in the back yard! They don't watch too much T.V., we spend tons of time with them. They are given healthy treats (popcicles, yogurt parfaits, fruit cups..). What can I do to improve this?

I think I might have had a miscarriage and will be going to the Doctor. I am so scared to tell my boyfriend because it is going to crush him that I lost the baby. I know he will be understanding but I'm still nervous. What is the best way for a couple to deal with such a traumatic experience without going to a therapist?

I've been wanting a tattoo on my lower back but I heard that when I get pregnant the epidural won't work if I've gotten a tattoo there. Did anyone experience this or know of any information they can give me about it. Thanks!

I purchase a used travel system (carseat and stroller) Evenflo OshKosh Model # 1401151A. It appears to be missing the tray for the baby. I went on Evenflo's website, but all I get is message that the parts for this model are no longer available. Any idea where I can get this part?

I'm 15 weeks prego and my bf says my vagina feels different to him. Is there anything in particular that could cause this? I'm kind of curious. Does your vagina change during pregnancy? If so HOW does it change?

My three year old has started complaining of headaches. He has no nausea or vomitting. Nothing else seems to be wrong. The only thing I can tell is that he started complaining of it since we have cable. (so he is watching slightly more tv) He isn't close to the set, but maybe he needs glasses? The whole family has horrible eyes, but daddy has chronic migraines so I am worried.

I've been on the shot for about a year now and my hubby and I have decided to start trying soon. Just wondering if there were any women out here that were on the shot and got pregnant after they stopped taking it? How long did it take?

I'm not trying to offend anyone or hurt anyone feelings. Lord knows I've asked some pretty stupid questions on here, and some sick ones too, but I'm just wondering how many teen women are on here are really preganat and not trying to gain attention? Also why would teen women want to gain attention by poseing that they are preganat in the first place?
