This is my first pregnancy & Im turning 30 next Sunday. My wonderful husband is taking me out to eat and I was really wanting to go get some good crab legs. I have read in books that alot of fish isnt good for you due to the mercury and lead. Do you think me splurging once on crab legs will harm my baby?

Im 4 months pregnant and I know I want to breastfeed. I know I will want to pump a lot but I need to know of a good breast pump (that isnt hundreds of dollars) that is good for everyday pumping. I've read online of reviews of pumps and people seem to be really fond of the hospital grade pumps but are those good for everyday use? and where do you even buy them? Thanks in advance

I've been off the pill for more then a year. We haven't seen a doctor about this because I'm not sure if I can hear bad news. My mom had to go through a lot just to have me, and I have an aunt that couldn't have children. Could this run in the family?. My husband's family has never had any problems.

No one ever taught me how to drive and it is not really something you can do on your own,legally anyways. I have people that help me by giving me rides. In return I pay them for the gas and their time.

Im really concerned because I've been on the DEPO shot for six months now, The first month I had a normal period, and the second and third I didn't have one. The second shot (fourth month) I didn't have one at all. I've been bleeding now for almost two months strait now. Im concerned because I dont think thats normal at all and Im afraid that all the blood lose can be harmfull too. How can I get the bleeding to stop within 20 days and is this going to harm me? Any answers will be extremely helpfull. Thank you.

I have three boys ages 7 years old, 6 years old and 20 months old. My youngest (the 20 month old) has just recently begun throwing awful fits. If he does not get his way he screams as loud as he can and sometimes throws himself on the floor kicking and screaming. My other 2 boys did not do this. Does anyone have any good advice on how to handle this and what kinds of discipline techniques would be appropriate?

Well shortly after that my stomach has has gotten bigger, ( i had a flat stomach and now theres a pooch. I had really bad cramps, naseau, and i get really dizzy occasionally. I just had this gut feeling that i was pregnant. People say you can't tell until like 4-6 weeks but i could tell like 10 days after the incident. But i took 4 tests and all are still neg. Could it be an ectopic preg. or am i just over reacting?

What do you think are some pretty Asian names?
(Preferably) In the Indian cultural? That are different but still beautiful and unique/not common to America

List both boy and girl names

Thanks!

When I gave my illegitimate son "the talk" several years ago I told him that the reason why people moan during sex is because it is so painfull, given that the Human vagina has 6 rows of teeth. He learned recently in high school Biology that this is not the case...and now he no longer trusts me and says he hates me.... What should I do? Can I mend our relationship?

OK, here is my story. I was on Seasonale (3-month cycle) for the 18 months. I stopped taking BC in June and want to get PG BAD. I ovulated the month I stopped BC & last month. These PG test claim they can detect the hormone 5-7 days after conception. Being on vacation, I wanted to be sure to know asap so I did not drink or take any risks. I was convinced I was PG. I took PG tests prior to missing a period and all were NEG. On the last day of my vaca, 8/7, 3 days before I was suppose to start my period, I had intercourse and bleed slightly. It was weird-a bright red color, like normal blood and not menstrual looking. I took a HPT that can detect "5" days before - it was NEG. The spotting was random, light and lasted about 1.5 - 2 days total. Not sure if the spotting was my period or not, so I bought one more HPT today and it's also NEG. But I am tired, have food aversions, constipation, and bloating-I just have this weird vibe within my body. I am not sure what to do next!! Any ideas?

Which name do you think is Better?

Ezra McCauley or Jude Joseph.

Or your own personal variation of the two.

This question is for mothers who waited to have children till they were in their late 20's, 30's and 40's.

Do you now wish you started earlier because you couldn't have as many children, or your pregnancy was more difficult?

Were you glad you waited or wish things had worked out so you could have had your children earlier than you did?

Why or why not?

Got divorced and moved to a better place for my kids. Father agreed to the move, but now regrets it. He was abusive and we argued all of the time. Kids are happy, Mom is happy, Father makes me feel guilty and yells whenever we speak.

I found out yesterday that I'm having a little girl while all the time I was expecting her to tell me that I am having a little boy. I feel as though the baby boy I thought I was going to be having has died and my daughter has taken his place. I've been very blue since I found out that she's a girl and not a boy. Why do I feel this way? Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away any time soon? I feel horrible for being this way. I feel like I'm a horrible mother to feel this way. Please help.

My ten month sons crib was stolen before I could get it out the box. He slept with me until he was six months old and I moved him to his playpen to move him to the crib gradually. What should I do? How long does a child stay in a crib.

HUGE question for me right now as my unborn daughters father seems to really not like the idea of a little girl right now. I know it'll fade with time and after she's born he'll be back to being more joyous than ever but for right now I need help to understand why he feels the way he does.

My daughter is starting 1st grade next week and I am at a total loss as to what to pack in her lunchbox.

She is a VERY picky eater (whoever said that a child will eat when they are hungry enough has never met my daughter).

No bread of any sort (no tortillas, rolls, muffins, etc) which means no sandwiches.

Any suggestions???
