Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 August 2006

I am about to be 20 weeks pregnant and I do not think I have felt the baby kick yet. I have gained 20 lbs being pregnant, but before was thin. I feel a weird bubbling feeling in my lower stomach directly in line with my belly button. My husband said he thinks its just gas and not the baby. How do I know?!?

My daughter is 7. I was just wondering....what age is appropriate for a child to start washing themselves?? I feel like she is too old for me to clean her more intimate areas but too young to get completely clean on her own. Your SERIOUS answer is appreciated!! Thanks!!!!

I'm having a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Got any ideas for some fun games. I want something that can be done on paper, or something that wouldn't be embarrassing to stand up and do. Most often people are too shy to stand up to do anything. I also want something different. I've searched sites for 2 days and they all have the same games. I'm looking for something unique that you have played and thought was fun.
We've done the word finds, the legs crossed games, the baby animals, the baby names. GIVE ME SOMETHING UNIQUE. Oh, the baby is supposed to be a boy if that helps any.

Thanks!!!

I just found out I'm about 4 1/2 weeks pregnant. For the last 2 weeks I've been very nauseated. I have always heard that most people don't get morning sickness until about 6 weeks. I was just wandering if this is normal? Different smells are really bothering me and can't hardly eat anything. I've made a dr appt but can't get in for another 3 weeks. Just wandering if it's normal I know each pregnacy is different just wanting some advice. Serious answers only please.

So what does it mean when my temp goes up significantly from yesterday being 97.5 to today being 98.8, does that mean I have already ovulated or is it in the process of ovulation?

thanks

I'm nearly 6 months pregnant and I can't feel my baby move. We've had 3 scans and he's normal size and everything looks normal and he seems to be wriggling around a lot but I just can't feel anything.

I'm not overweight or underweight, I'm about 12 stone and 6 foot tall.

I didn't get any morning sickness either. Do you think this is normal? My sister didn't feel any movement till she was 7 months but everyone else tells me that I should feel something by now?

Is this normal do you think?

Thank you
grateful for any advice or personal stories about how it was for you.

I was 14 when I first had sex, but that wasn't by choice. I didn't have sex again till I was 16 and I got pregnant. I havent had sex since I got pregnant and I dont want to have sex anymore till I'm older and stable. I just want to know from teens and everone else why teens are haveing sex before there 18. So please someone or everone tell me why most teens are doing this.

i am a mom of a 3yr girl. i know myspace can be a curse to parents. i recently reconnected with college friends through there. but even on this site when you look at someones info it will give a myspace page link. well i just linked onto one from here. the things the person says on here make her sound adult, so i was curious and looked. well she is actually only 15 but there are 35-50 year old men leaving dirty comments on there and this girl actually communicates with them. is there anything that can be done to get these girls and men to stop doing it. im only 28 but we didn't have something like this when i was growing up, i am scared as to what will be around when my children are older. so my question is, is do you get into depth what your kids do on there, do you liknk onto their friends and make connections that way because right now i am scared for our children. there are too many pervs out there. (sorry so long)
