My husband and I and his parents are planning on traveling to London tomorrow (9hr flight!) and then a train ride to Scotland (51/2hr ride). Then driving around and sightseeing for 9 days then doing the opposite traveling on the way home. I'm 22wks pregnant with our 1st and was wondering if anyone else has traveled like this at 5 1/2 months and how it was. My pregnancy is going fine just tired and sore back! Thanks for any feedback!!!!!

I have been TTC for about a 8 months now, after going to the doctors and having test done. (all test turned out fine for hubby and I) My doctor suggested that I start checking my CM the day after my period ends. I have been doing this now for 2 months. But its hard for me to figure out if the mucus is my hubbys sperm or if it is my CM. I shower shortly after sex (about a 30 hour later, to give time for the sperm to get to the egg) hoping that will clean everything out so i could tell the differeence. How can I tell the difference? Are their any tricks to this? I had my AF from Aug 14th to the 21st. My periods are irregular a lot but lately my cycle has been about every 32 days. I have had sex from the day before my period ended & every other day since. Do you think I ovulated yet? Or will I sometime this weekend? Can you please try to answer all my questions.

What can we learn from our children?

My answer would be to learn to look at things with wonder, as a child would. Also, how to get through mazes on video games as I get lost easily. ok, that was silly, but, it is important to play with your children.

Ok, I'm five months pregnant, this is my first, and I'm trying to come up with a very unique (but not outragious) name. I found out yesterday it's a girl, but no one can be 100 % sure before the birth, so my question is what are some good, and unique girl or boy names?

for example, does your kid enjoy discovery documentaries more than cartoon express???
or, do they watch food network instead of bill nye the science guy??

just curious and if they do...what's their favorite "grown-up" show??

When a woman is pregnant, what exactly is the umbilical cord attached to in the baby? Is it just attached to ateries and veins that connect from mother and child to the placenta?

I'm just curious, how did you bring up to your significant other that you were ready to have kids? How did he/she react?

Took HPT last nite, got a negative, but this morning have a brown discharge, (a little smelly too) but nothing when I wipe. Yesterday had a white creamy discharge, a little lumpy. Been feeling nauseated for about a week. Could I still be PG?? I took First Response Early Result.

I just had a baby boy in June and I really loved the name Caden, everyone knew how much I loved the name, but my husband wanted to name our son after his brother so I gave in, said o.k. the next one that we have we will name either Caden or Cadence. My s-i-l (his sis) and her husband are due to have a boy in Nov., and up until recently they were going to name their son Brennen, now I come to find out this last Wed they have decided to name him Caden and I'm so mad. She and I have always been good friends and I don't want to ruin that, but I'm angry that she would do this to me, what would you do in this situation?

Hi. I'm going to start weaning my son from breatfeeding because I have to have surgery. He is 9 months old. Right now he nurses 4 times a day, but the nursing sessions have been getting shorter because he keeps trying to get down. How many bottles/cups each dayhave you given your 9 month olds and how many ounces do you give each time? And do you give those bottles/cups before, during or after solid meals? Thank you.

This is my 2nd pregnancy....I am 36 weeks along and have been having irregular contractions that might I add are quite painful. I did not go into labor on my own with my first and therefore I feel as though I am completely blind to what I should be experiencing in TRUE labor.

Someone please help.....I feel soooooo lost!

my son turned 3 last weekend. I have babied him too much. He still has his pacifier and blanket he wants to carry everywhere. He doesnt take his pacifier to daycare but he must have it at home. The past week he has been getting his back molar and he has been very cranky. Last night he insisted on sleeping in my bed so I gave him some motrin and let him lay with me for a while then I put him back in his bed. A few hours later he is back in my bed again. Is this normal or is he trying to start a new pattern? What should I do?

My friend had a beautiful baby girl yesterday by c section .She was fully knocked by aneasthetic. Her husband wasnt allowed in the room when it was delivered because the doctor said most men faint?? and when it had been born they didnt gave the baby to them to hold they just put it in a cot beside the bed 4 hours later they still hadnt held it (There was no nurse around to ask) . She could barely move and the husband wasnt shown how to hold it.
Also the nurse gave the baby a bottle of formula milk when it was born she said it was hungry this was before the mother woke up.

Me and my friend are british we are living in turkey she is married to a turkish man.

We are both only 22 so I was wondering was this proccedure correct it all seemed a bit odd to me
