abortion i became obsess wit trying 2 get pregnant again becuz i felt like a baby killer (tho i was forced to do this) n also stupid for letting ppl force me to do it.. well neway i kept tryin to get pregnant a week after my abortion up until august 20 which is the day i got my period but it started brown so i thought it was spotting from a new pregnancy n then it turned red like normal blood and lasted now its friday n well it stopped and so i put a panty-liner instead of pad and have brown spots now. is this a new pregnancy? is it just my period finishing cuz that never happened be4? also am scared i wont be able to get pregnant again :( i kno i made a mistake, i allowed my father (he is a cop) to force me into getting abortion cuz he said he wouldnt support me in any means but now i realized if i kept my baby, even if he didnt support me i wouldve found support in my bf's family (we been together for a yr) so yes i made a mistake i am aware of that and i am pro-life now so i think

Please help, I've tried all I can think of. My 1 year old has a VERY sensitive gag relfex and he chocked on a piece of bread and vomited in his stroller at a resteraunt. So when we got home, i used a whole bottle of clorox wipes to wipe all the rest of it out that I couldn't get out with the cheap napkins at the resteraunt. I've sprayed it with Febreze and Lysol 4 times now and it still smells like vomit. Does anyone else have a better idea to get rid of the smell? Please help!

Hi,
My daughter is tiny. just 24 pounds at 3 1/2 years old. good weight to height ratio. My husband is vietnamese, and many of his sisters are only maybe 100 lbs. She also has a milk and soy allergy- we found out when she turned 3, so I think that made a difference as well. Now she is eating a milk and soy free diet. Not being able to give her milk, I give her rice milk fortified with calcim and juice with calcium. What else is good to help her grow? She eats broccoli, meat, peanut butter and everything really. But eats like a bird. Takes me hours to feed her and playing games to get her to eat. It's exhausting. Any suggestions? Thanks!

She is already hairy down there. She's not sexually active, but she does play school sports, so others will see it in the showers and she gets embarrased.

I am slowly loosing my fetus, I am six weeks pregnant, and the baby has a heart beat but it is getting slower and the baby is not growing. My Dr. did an ultra sound, and said he can't do anything until there is no heartbeat. Did anyone ever encounter anything like this?

My 6-year-old son has a friend he really wants to get together with to play. This friend's mom has apparently decided she's not keen on my son. I know, I'm my son's mom and therefore totally prejudiced! But he has never, ever had any problem making or maintaining friends. He's respectful and kind, most of all with kids younger or smaller than him. As best I can tell, this arose on the basis of 5 minutes' interaction at a birthday party when my son made a 3rd kid angry by saying he didn't like Legos.

So my question is this: I obviously don't want to let the chill that has descended between me and the friend's mom to ruin my son's relationship with her son--this is adult baggage, not kid baggage!--but I could use a little lesson in politics here. This lady is not going to react well to being confronted directly a la "what's your problem with my son"? I'm not interested in creating enemies here, just in salvaging a friendship for my son. Advice?

My son is potty trained, at least for peeing. But, he hasn't had a BM since Monday. He's eaten nothing but fruit today, and still no poop. Dr. recommended a suppository, and amazingly he held on to that too! Talk about anal retentive! Help Please!

Yes, we are all bad parents if we currently, or have ever:

*used a bottle
*spanked
*not put our babies in slings
*sleep without our kids in our beds
*not breastfeeding (this is the most heinous offense, redeemable only by a burnt offering of 50 lambs)
*not listened to and obeyed our childs every whim
*ever told our child "no"
*disciplined our children
*made them use the potty after their 2nd b-day
f*ed them anything but organic produce
*haven't taken them to a La Leche League playgroup
*don't have Dr. Sears' manual

Repent now!! Before it's too late!!

Not to be a subsitute for real parenting, but I was always against TV. Lately my daughter has been watching Dora - sort of a lot of Dora because I have been busy with an infant and out of the blue she knows all of her shapes and colors and we really never worked on those. I figured out that she learned it from Dora, so now I wonder what is the downside? We don't watch the commericals and she usually doesn't watch more than 2 episodes a day.

I just recently went to my gyno because I haven't received a period for this month and he did an ultra sound and didn't see anything. He requested that I get a blood test done and sure enough it came back with a 294 HCG level which is positive for pregnancy.Keep in mind I've been on BCP's and take them everyday at 12p.m. I've been getting my period everymonth like clock work and now I'm pregnant. I already have a 7 1/2 year old and a 16 month old.
