Alot of people who have IVF end up having multiples. Does anyone else think that all these IVF people are taking away from the "coolness" of multiple births? I mean they use to be so rare and it was always a really neat event when someone had twins or triplets but now it seems like they're everywhere. What do you think?

Been married 2 yrs. My hubbie has a 17 y/o daughter from a previous relationship. I want to have children but he doesn't want to. We did not really discuss this before we got married and now I don't know what to do. I'm already 28, my Biological clock is ticking, and everytime I bring having a baby he freaks and we wend up arguing. He says that we are not financially stable, we don't own a home and we have no savings. I understand all that but I'm afraid of missing out. Maybe I need to see a shrink.....Any advice?

ok, I wrote yesterday about my contractions some of them being very painful, all day yesterday I had braxton hicks contractions, coming about every 15-30 minutes. I've been drinking a lot of water to help ease them but it's not working. Well, I thought for sure I would be dilating or soemthing, but my doctor said that my cervix was still, fairly hard, long and closed!! How can I be having this many contractions and it not be doing anything?! I'm almost 37 weeks along, and this is my first pregnancy. I am so diappointed that I can be this uncomfortable and nothing is changing. Can someone relate?! Am I going to be over due?! I am sooo tired of these contractions, and I have a lot of presure and constant lower back pain, but nothing is changing?! I am so frustrated. I know I shouldn't be since I haven't even reached my due date yet, but it seems to me my cervix should be doing something at least?! Somebody plz make me feel better!! I am so aggravated!!

I heard you can take Robitussion cough syrup to increase CM. Is this true? And when do you take it before ovulation or when you get a positive on the ovulation test? How much do you take and how often?

I have 2 bassinets, a playpen, 4 bottles, 7 blankets and 0 clothes. My husband doesn't want to buy anything else until we know what we are having. Is it too soon to be shopping like he says or should I just go ahead without him?

I've been dating a woman that has a 13 year old son. The other night I was over her house and around bed time for her son she gets in the shower with him.

When she came out of the bathroom with wet hair and wearing just a towel, I asked her what she was doing. She said that she has to shower with him at times to help her son clean himself that he doesn't know how or forgets. He is as normal as normal 13 year old boys should be.

She is from Brazil and says that is her culture and all mothers in Brazil do that.

It made me sick to my stomach and I got up and left. The next day I told my mother and she said that at age 5 that you should stop.

I have a 14 year old daughter and if I did that I would be arrested.

Is this really the culture of Brazil or is this just some sick game that she plays? At what age should you stop?

Everytime I ask my 2-year-old son to pick up this toys (or when he doesn't get what he wants), he'll say "no want" and lays down on the floor. When you go to pick him up, he just lets his body go limp. It drives me absolutely crazy! How can I get him to stop doing this?

my brothers baby is suffering dearly from constipation and stomach pains. She was a 2 month premi and is now turning 1 tomorrow. The dr. told him to give the baby the 3 p's. peaches, prunes and pears. He also told him to put caro syrup with molasses in her milk but its not doing a darn thing. She screams bloody murder. Has anyone tried anything else?
