I know kids talk a lot. I used to teach preschool. I have NEVER been around a child that talks as much as this one. SERIOUSLY. I am not over reacting, and I swear it is more than normal, many other people have said so also. From the minute she wakes up till the minute she goes to bed. She constantly is moving, talking etc. She also follows you around everywhere and is unable to play by herself. Has anyone ever had this experience? What did you come up with?

Why do so many American couples prefer to adopt foreign children rather than choosing one of the millions of needy American children who need a good home? Don't get me wrong, I think it's admirable to help any child in need, but I'm wondering why so many people look outside the U.S. first.

My parents keep telling me to stay away from tattoos because the ink will intoxicate my blood and in the case i ever have children i wont be able to give them blood (in case of an emergency transfusion), also that it may affect them directly during pregnancy giving them some type of disease. Is any of this possible? Even with a non-infected proffesional tattoo?

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I am so nervous about a lot of things. I'm really trying to keep my cool, but I can't help but worry about the health of the baby, about whether or not I will properly bond with her, about my ability to know what she needs when she needs it, about breastfeeding, etc, etc, etc.

My husband and I are THRILLED to be having her, but I just can't stop worrying about everything. Did anyone else feel the same way with their first baby? I could really use some reassurance.

Thanks,
Mandy

My son is only over a1yr old & his father has been in & out of his life 4 various reasons. 1 of those reasons was cuz i told him that i was getting involved wit some1 else, but ever since i got pregnant i made it clear that i didn't want a relationship wit him. Once i told him about "the other" he had a fit & said that he didn't want 2 B around anymore. i said ok cuz i really didn't need him. i don't need his help or his money, the only reason i really wanted him around was cuz he was so good wit the baby & that was all that mattered 2 me! He's been gone 4 about 2 months now & just recently he's been calling me trying 2 see my baby. I'm so angry 4 all the things he said B4. I know that he still has feelings 4 me & hopes that 1 day we can B 2gether & when he decided 2 stay away cuz of what "I" did, it made it seem like the only reason he was ever around 4 my child was 2 get closer 2 me. Like if his love 4 his own son was fake. But he's still trying 2 C the baby & i don't know what 2 do!

Yesterday my bestfriends mom called me and told me he was in the hospital. He is having complications from AIDS. I never knew he was infected. He's 17 and has been very sexually active with girls for the last couple of years. I don't know what to do. His Mom made me swear to secrecy, but I know of at least 6 girls he had unprotected sex with before school was out for the summer. And several girls have given him BJ's. He is really popular at school. I worry about the people he had sex with and oral. They all do it a lot. I'm affraid mt whole school is going to die. I know I'm safe because I've never had sex. Should I tell people even though his mom said not to? She doesn't know he has had sex all the time and he made me swear not to tell either.

And the child is adopted by someone else, does the birth parent still have to pay child support for that child?

He had a vasectomy at age 18, then a reversal during a previous marriage. Four kids later, he got another vasectomy. Now, we're married and I want children. Initially, he thought he was too old to have kids, til he saw Tony Randall. But now he's looking forward to the opportunity to have more children.

We contacted a doctor about a double reversal vasectomy...the doctor would not take the case--said it would be unethical of him to do so given the chances of it working were slim to none. But then there's another doctor who's had success doing this with me who have had vasectomies 30+ years prior.

Has anyone had any success with this or with sperm aspiration or IVF? Any suggestions, tips are greatly appreciated in this matter.

Thanks in advance!

I know that this may sound like a dumb question, but I'm new to all this. My husband and I have been trying to conceive and I have noticed that the day after I always have his stuff still flowing out of me. I always put a pillow under my butt to help hold it in, but I didn't know if this was common or not. I understand that gravitational pull would obviously make it flow out but even after having a pillow under me and falling asleep til morning?

I'm asking this on behalf of my wife. Our newborn (2 weeks) son had trouble starting to breast feed but soon got into it along with my wife. Now my wife finds it VERY painful (cracked nipples etc...). She has checked with the midwife that she is doing it correctly (latching on etc) and everything seems okay. She now wants to stop breast feeding (even though we'd prefer to stay with breast feeding) and move to bottled feeds (we have tried a bottle with him and he seems ok with it). Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

You woke up and you lived in a country that forced their women to cover their bodies from head to toe and not work, or anything, sorta like the middle east? I was reading about it and they are crazy, i would probably die.
