This is my first child and I am not fully aware of how long it takes to go from 2 to 10 in days... also how far do you need to be for an epidural?

This question is mainly about the term all (if not most) of us have heard growing up, that you can't judge a book by its cover, that beauty is only skin deep, and that it is in the eye of the beholder.

I was a child once, and I hope to have children and a wife someday, When I was a child if someone told me that it was impossible to do something, I tried my hardest to prove them wrong, and sometimes managed to lose the point of what I was doing it for. I've done this many times in my life, and even today I see young men and women that only date/have fun or sex with each other because there attractive (and yes I DID ask), and I see more young people today showing more skin and *** then ever before, anyway,although I do try not to "lust" at people just because of their looks, I have somewhat of a habbit of doing it, not that I persue it. I've been single for about 4 years and 3 months on the (25th of aug).

Anyway, please tell me why you chose the answer you did.

Hi Moms. I have a questions regarding bottle feeding. My daughter is 13 months and eats table food all day, with 6 oz. of juice (max) and water. Before her afternoon and evening nap she has an 8 oz. bottle of whole cows milk. But, she will not drink cows milk in a sippy cup. Should I end the two bottle feedings and attempt to offer her the milk in the sippy cups gradually at naptime? I heard that it may not be good for her at her age to have a bottle before bed is this true? Also, is it time for me to stop the bottles and if so, can someone please give me step by step guidelines on how to do it. I really don't know. This is our first baby and I welcome all suggestions. Thanks!

My 3 yr old started complain about 4 days ago that her ear hurts but only at night. During the day she is fine only when its bedtime does she start screaming in pain that her ear hurts.
Unfortunatly i dont have her on any kind of insurance and i cant afford to take her to the doctor right now.
First day she started complaining I tried to take the air out of her ear by rolling up a newspaper and lighting it on fire to see if that would help but it didnt and i remember her pediatrican telling me to flush her ear with peroxide one of the times she had an ear ache. So for the past couple of days ive been doing this but her ear just doesnt seem to get better. Please help me out

no mean comments or i will report U

I'm always sure to use condoms [none have ripped or slipped off] but this month I haven't gotten my period yet. I was suppose to get it on the 18th. its been 4 days. I usually have a pretty normal period cycle. I took 2 pregnancy tests that came out negative but my breasts have been tender and i've been cramping a lot. Could I be pregnant?

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I have a regular OB. I am, however, very interested in finding a midwive and having a planned homebirth. Unfortunately, my husband is not crazy about the idea. He thinks it is too dangerous and that if, God forbid, something were to go wrong, we should be at a hospital. I understand what he is saying, but I would really love to birth at home, in my own surroundings. Should I keep trying to convince my husband to birth at home, or should I go along with him to keep the peace?

My daughter knows all the alphabets-capital letters A-Z since she was 20 mos. now, whenever she sees words, she'll name each letter. but when it comes to small letter, she gets confused and asks me "what's this?" i told her it was "a", then she said "no!". she pointed at "A" and said "this is A!"
she's very interested in reading.
what is the best way to teach her small letters w /o confusing her with the capitals?

thank's for all ur advice!

I have been good friends with a woman for over 21/2 years, since our daughters were 3 month old. Last year her daughter was diagnosed as non-verbal autistic. She receives intensive therapy and has made great strides, but she is only functioning at a 12- month level. I am extremely supportive of my friend and their situation. For reasons that we can only guess (frustration?), her daughter has started to bite my daughter when they play together, especially if my daughter is too "in her face." Bite as in teeth marks, bruising. Unfortunately, that is often - my daughter is very maternal towards her friend and tries to help her with things, whether it's leading her somewhere or giving her something (toy, food, etc.). My friend chastises her daughter, but only after the deed has been done. She is not "on top of her" as I think she should be, just as any parent whose child bites should be. What can I do? Is this the beginning of the end of our children playing together?

I am a thin girl who was a ballet dancer for 14 years. Meaning I have always walked with grace and I have always felt light when I walked. I am 14 weeks pregnant and I have been feeling clumbsy and off I feel like my lower body is getting heavy even though I do not even really show. Is this normal I feel so slow when I wald like all the weight is in my lower body. Just curious. Also yesterday I was running a little bit and it hurt my stomach is it dangerous to run when you are this far along. I know silly questions but I am new to this pregnancy thing.
Thanks

for females (the shot) in high school. people are so concerned with vaccinations (cant go to most schools without them!), vitamins, flu shots, sunscreens, bug repellant- for most parents these are essential!!!! so why arent we protecting our daughters from a mistake like an unwanted pregnancy- kids shouldnt have to be in the position to decide on parenthood-- WE should decide this for them and - schools should require this pregnancy prevention documentation as admissions the same as vaccinations- this should also be used with welfare recipients as well
