I have a baby daughter, I am 25 my hubby is 29. I am an attoney who makes good money to support a family plus we have a lot saved, my husband wants to stay home and take care of our 3 month old daughter. He has his degree in interior design, so he is redoing our new house, and is doing a lot of handywork around as well and always cooks dinner for me because I work long hours. He has already made it at at his young age at buying and selling in international real estate. My husband gets bashed people in our community for wanting to stay at home with our three month old, and I get bashed for not wanting to stay home myself. He is a very good father, and a very sweet man. Why dosn't a man who wants to stay at home, and spend his time whole taking care of a baby get any respect? I think this is totally sad.

We can get him to sleep no problem in the swing or when he's tired in our arms but he won't close his eyes and fall asleep in his crib on his own. We have Baby Einstein playing softly in the background (as usual), but no matter how tired (and cranky) he is, he just lays there and rolls around. Please help.

Well, I have been with my boyfriend for six years (no we are not married, but we both agree on me having a baby) we both want to start our family. Going online can be a bit scary when you see how long it takes the average women to conceive a baby. I'm 23 year's old and this month was the first month we tried we did It many times and on all the right dates. My mom was 22 year’s old when she had me and it took her 6 months to get pregnant with me.

I may be pregnant now, I should start on the 12th of this month, but I'm having really bad cramps in my lower abdomen and my body is very tired. Yet no morning sickness or spotting, nor do my boobs hurt.

So my question is for women in there early 20's how fast did it take you to get pregnant? Thanks for the advice :)

My little boy is 6 months old and is still using the same bottles that I bought before he was born. I keep chcking them for scratches ete and they are all fine. I'm just not sure whether I need to change them or just keep using them. I want to start him on a cup in a couple of months so buying new now would be a waste, but I will buy if I need to. I have changed the teats so I know that they are ok.

My 15 month old son was acting really strange last Wed. when I picked him up after work. Grunting like he had to poop but doing it with every breath and he would start crying etc.. so I took him to the ER because I got so scared and his fever was 104 when we got there and they diagnosed him with an ear infection and nothing more, does that sound strange? I dont understand why he would grunt with and ear infection? do they just do strange things with a high fever, is 104 really high for a baby?

I need some good boys names. First and Middle. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I filled up a paper full and now I've only thought of 2or 3 names. I dont want some normal everyday name like Michael or Joesph. but no off the wall crazy name. The only names I have come up with is Cameron and Dominick and Taylor. Someone help me out with some good boys names...please!!

I have just read yet another article about children who are overwieght. As a mother of 2 young girls I am about sick of this. I am not saying that some children are not overweight and need to lose some. But does it bother others as much as me that we might be sending a message to our daughters that is already being pounded on them from the media that they are FAT! I feel that we should be promoting a healthy lifestyle and good habits, along with the love of self more than the number that is on a scale. I would much rather have a child who is obese than one with an eating disorder. Eating disorders are far more difficult to deal with. Am I totally off base in feeling this way? Or are there others that are as sick of this as me?

I'm 15 years old and started sleeping with my boyfriend, i missed a period and took a pregnancy test and it came out positive, what should i do? i'm taking my GCSE's in June next year and a baby would probably take up all my time as my mum refuses to look after it, if you've had the same problem, have you kept the baby and had problems or not kept it and been perfectly happy? And how should i tell my mum? please help

I'm alittle worried that my girlfriend might be pregnant.

I'm a super paranoid guy so it's probobly nothing, but you guys have helped me in the past, so here it goes:

I think she has irregular periods, but last month, she said there was barely any blood, she had a severe mood swing, horrible cramping, and she said she was spotting at a very odd time.

also, we've never had vaginal intercourse, only anal intercourse because I'm so paranoid, I use a condom with spermicide every time, and the lube has spermicide as well. My penis has never entered her vagina, and if it did slip (barely ever), I had a condom on.

We also engage in oral intercourse as well.

This may sound stupid to many of you, but it's rather nerveracking for me, because we've done everything we can to stop this paranoia from happening.

we are both of the 15-17 age range.


thanks!

My son is 3. He very well behaved (this coming from outsiders, not just me). Recently, he just got a new teacher in his daycare/preschool class. She is very timid and all of the kids have had behavior problems since she has arrived. Example: when my son won't do what she says, she says "I ask him to but he says no". Now I am having to sign several behavior reports. I discipline my son for his actions, but I have a meeting with the daycare to let them know that they need to do something about his teacher. They can't expect kids to behave if the adult isn't going to make them. My question is: how do I get this across without making it sound like I am making excuses for my son. I am still disciplining him for the things that he does, but they need to step it up a notch to get him and the other kids back in control. Please do not tell me my son is just bad, because he isn't, and if you insult my 3 year old boy, I will report you.

We have been trying to conceive now for a few months & have been unsuccessful. I really thought this last time we had accomplished it! I was 10 days late then the "witch" arrived! Same as last month, I was a few days late then she popped up. Anyhow here is my question: Is it possible to ovulate a few days right BEFORE your period? Here's my senerio: We had unprotected sex on the 19th, 22nd, 26th, and 27th of August. My period was WAY late. I was due around the 21st and it didn't arrive until the 30th. And I KNOW THIS WAS the REAL DEAL, It was def my period! I am usually a 3-5 day gal so it seemed as if it was over on the 3rd of September. For 2 days I havent seen anymore signs of the period, no bleeding, cramps stopped etc. Then today, Ive wiped several times & there was some pinkish blood. Not ALOT tho. This has NEVER happened to me before. So I am now wondering is it possible that I ovulated a few days before my period and could be pregnant? Eventho I DID just have a period?

I am 32 weeks pregnant the doctor said the baby was bigger than normal, and that it could mean early labor. I have been having horrible back pain off and on all day. Could it be back labor or just the soreness of pregnancy?
