excuse me but i had twin boys and my husband loved to come
home and feed them he would have felt left out. did any of you ask
your husbands if they would like to share in the experience of
bonding when they feed the baby or you just give them the
dirty work of changing the diapers? playing is fine but like all of you said you like to feed the baby because you are bonding the father has not had that chance if he wanted it.

didn't know if you could tell by signs your body gives you?

because they tell you 'its this day of your cycle" but if you're not paying attention to what day it is....is there a sign your body give you? like do you feel differently?

Does anybody know the law in Oregon about rapist parental rights? I've heard that he may still have parental rights! I want to go for adoption...but he'd have to sign off on! Can somebody please tell me the facts so I make sure he NEVER see's the baby?

all of you talk about bonding with the babies when you breast-feed
but how does the father bond if he wanted to. you have total control
over the babie. if you could pump why would you not? if you dont
pump then the father will feel left out and never ever get that
chance of bonding like you do. is that fair?

My 9 year old son went with a neighbor boy and illegally entered someone elses home and took their toys, ate their food, and played the game stations while they were on vacation. The wind blew open the door, so they didn't break in. The family is one that we know well, this has been very embarrassing for me as a mother. I thought I taught him better, How would all you parents out there handle this situation.

The police have been notified by the caretakers of the house while the owners are away. The police left the decision to prosicute up to the owners. What should I do?

So i'm 7 weeks pregnant. I'm scheduled to get an abortion on tuesday, but might change my mind last minute.
i want a child in my life but at the same time im not ready to be there for him or her for. i dont have the strength to be there for a child currently. im still young and in school and dont have what it takes to be a mother even though i do love babies and would love one in my life. the thought of having a baby is wonderful but when you go into details and really think about it, it's NOT the right thing for me in my life right now. im not ready for a child.

anyway.. im wondering if there are any women out there who have given their kids up for adoption. tell me what its like...

i would never give my child up for adopted. after giving birth to a baby you are drawn to it and can no longer give it up... its ur little baby. its not so easy to give it up. so im wondering how mothers out there did it?

Here's the thing, I LIKE A BOY!
but there's alot of details. See, when I met this boy (Ryan to be exact) I instantly liked him. Then my friends told him and he said I was ugly and everything (in a joking sorta way) and now we're like best friends. Everyone said we were cute together (to our faces) and we laughed it off. I still like him but I'm afriad of ruining our frienship. PLEASE HELP!

P.S. In one more year he's going to go to a diffent school than I am.

I used to love my job, but I just had my baby in June, and I feel awful going back to work (I have two more weeks of maternity leave left). My mom will be taking care of my baby boy while I am at work, so at least I don't need to worry about leaving him with a stranger. Unfortunatelly, staying at home longer is not an option for me. I feel guilty, sad, and I cry every day. How can I make it easier both for my baby and for myself?

I decided not to breast feed my baby in the hospital because of being on Prozac. But now I am wondering if it is too late to change my mind?

My daughter is 3 days old now and has been bottle feeding since birth. I was taking my Prozac every other day for a week before I had her (trying to wean- but had to be induced early due to pre-eclampsia). So she was getting a lower dose. She has not shown signs of withdrawl... so I don't think my milk would cause toxicity at this point.

I feel really bad for not trying and feel I should. Has anyone else tried picking up breast feeding when their baby is only a few days old instead of immediately?

Do you think its a wise idea to bother trying at this point? Just curious for others opinions! I may ask another lactation consultant but I want real moms experiences and advice!

Thank you!

I am 4 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. I am experiencing 'normal' ? stuff? I am not 'showing' but I do notice that my stomach sticks out more? I am trying to watch what I eat, but it's more like I can't hold my stomach in like I used to, it kinda hurts to hold it in. Is this normal? Also when I stretch out, like when I yawn, It hurts in my abdomen as well. This normally doesn't happen, but I wasn't sure what the connection would be as I am only a little over 4 wks preg. I am also wondering if my stomach sticking out ( a LITTLE) could be bloating?

I have a 5 year old daughter and a four month old son. My daughter is very excited about being a big sister and is constantly wanting to help with the baby. She wants to hold him and feed him and carry him around. She even wants to sleep with him. My problem is that I am very "protective" over him and I am scared that she won't be as gentle as she should, or maybe I don't know why I am so protective. How do help her feel included while not making myself have a nervous break down over it? I don't want to hurt her feelings as this is her first baby brother.
