I have a 6 month old son and I think I already want another baby! He is so cute and cuddly and I can't imagine not having another infant to hold once he gets older. I was never even really a baby person until I had him. Do you think this is a passing feeling or have any of you really wanted another baby when you have a little one already?

My husband and I are ready to start trying for a baby, I came off the pill in May and this month is the month that we agreed to try. Now according to the whole ‘wait 14 days after the first day of you period to conceive’ we should have been trying since the 24th BUT I have been doing the First Response Ovulation test strips every day (it says to wait until your LH surge happens and then try to conceive) Well its now the 26th and still no surge…. Should we wait until the surge to have sex again or should we start tonight??
My poor husband has already gone a week and a half without sex as we were trying to build up the sperm count for the big night. Should we wait a little longer and keep doing the test strips or through caution to the wind and it on tonight??

my daughter just started kindergarten and friday at school the office called me because my 5year old tryed to break a 6 year old little boys finger due to him pinching her butt. i taught my daughter that if anyone touches her that way to break there fingers well the school gave her a warning if she does it again she will get detention the boy also got a warning but he has done it before to someone else. so my question is is it right for them to punish my daughter for doing what i told her to do.and what should i do about it

What is up with all the people asking things like:
"What is a foolproof birthcontrol?"
"Can I get pregnant on my period?"
"what time of the month can I get pregnant?"
Etc...

If you dont know the answer to those questions, u have no business having sex. Just to clear it all up for you:
YOU CAN GET PREGNANT ANY, YES ANY, TIME OF THE MONTH

YOU CAN GET PREGNANT NO MATTER WHAT BIRTH CONTROL YOU ARE ON, SO IF YOU ARENT WILLING TO RAISE A CHILD, DONT HAVE SEX. PERIOD. DUH.

Why do you think there are so many kids in the foster care system? Its not because of couples who PLANNED and tried to have a child, its because of people who dont know the facts, and then get pregnant and arent mature enough to take responsibility for their actions. Sex isnt a game. Its something you need to be educated about and understand all the risks of. Being ignorant or naiive about sex can cost your life, or the life of a child. So if you dont know something, see a doctor or go to a free clinic

I have a 5 months old baby. I have been breastfeeding her since birth. Well, I dont think Im making enough milk to satisfy her anymore. Is it time to stop breastfeeding her? How will I start her with a formula?

She's eating banana gerber now though, but that's the only thing she likes aside from my breastmilk.

My son is 3 1/2 and recently got new bunkbeds in his room. His toddler bed was small and cozy. Now he has 2 big beds in his room. He does not like sleeping alone in his room anymore. (he has been doing that since he was 6 months old) We started a sticker calendar to reward him when he slept all night in his bed, but he still begs us to sleep with him. Any suggestions?

We've been listening to Baby Einstein CDs since my son was born and I'd like to get him some music with lyrics now that he is talking. Any suggestions for teaching and learing of colors, shapes,etc. or just fun and silly songs? My son is 20 months old. He loves cars and trucks, animals and playing in his sandbox.

This cycle I had only one very small patch of egg white cervical fluid during my usual ovulation time. I had the clear, slippery, non-stretchy fluid though, and it has since dried. Does this mean I did not ovulate? Or could I be pregnant?

My daughter is 4 1/2 years old and is extremely bright. She just started Pre-k and has never been to daycare or anytype of school before. She has known her ABC's and how to count from 1-50 for a while now. She comes home from school and I have to buy her extra activity books (which she finishes in one sitting) because she wants to keep learning even after school is done. At what age can children be tested for placement in accelerated "gifted" programs. She needs something that will challenge her more.

I had sex on July 23rd, my period came the next day. It was 4-5 days long just like it usally is but it was a couple days earlier than expected. Well now I'm a week late, and usually I'm never late. I took a home pregnancy test and it came back negative. Why is my period late? I have been worrying about it a lot could this cause it too be late and I haven't been eating very well. Plus to my knowledge there is a small chance of getting pregnant right befeore your period anyways! Knowing my luck I would though. But wouldn't my pregnancy test show up positive if I was! HELP

Hi Moms,

Please share your experience and any advice with me if you have gone
through this or know someone who has......

I'm 35 years old, this pregnancy is my first and has NOT
been "normal". Just when I think things are finally settling down and
I can "enjoy" being pregnant....poop hits the fan. Here is the newest
update.

Finally at 36 weeks, baby has settled (again) into a transverse
position and his fluid is getting low. The doctor wants to do an amnio
to test for lung maturity, but amnio this late really scares the *(^$@
outta me. Anyone else have a late amnio? Also, I am effaced and
dialated to 1 if this helps.

Thanks for any help....
