This is the big problem I just found out last night that she is 5 weeks pregnant again!!and now she wants to get the baby back from my mom and my mom is already attached to her. and they both call me crying and i just don't know what to do or to say to them. please help!

When a woman undergoes general anesthesia for a cesarean operation, why isn't the father or another support person allowed in to be with the mother?

I'm scared that what if my parents talk to my doctor and ask if I'm virgin or not? Is the doctor allowed to say anything without my permission?

My new Porsche Cayenne was hit by a housewife in a big suburban. I need to get my car fixed right away because I need to drive my clients around in it. Also I was hurt. She says she can't pay for it because she is going through a divorce. She dosn't even work!! She told me she can't pay for it now, and to please not report it, but I have a right to have my car fixed ASAP, it's not my fault she chooses not to have a job and chooses to be a stay at home mom. She needs to fix my car. What should I do? Can I sue her? I don't feel sorry for her one bit.

My daughter want to throw her sweet sixteen this coming August, and has started to save up money. She wants a large, formal event, that she will end up paying for mostly on her own. She wants a black and white affair party, with a numerous amount of people. I don't have any idea how many invitations she is going to need, how much a ball room would cost to rent out, or how much food is going to cost us. She made it clear that a buffet is out of the question. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything? Please let me know.

I was wondering if you can feel anything in your tummy at 4-6 weeks? If you press down and suck in?

I have been SOOO sick lately and my husband has been so sweet on running around everywhere for me. I want to thank him for all he has done for me lately. Does anyone have some good ideas for a wonderful man who is a father-to-be. The ideas don't have to have anything with being a father...he hasn't quite figured this one out yet, he knows we are pregnant but I don't think he's quite made the connection that he will be a father soon :) Thank you for any responses.

Ok. I know I am probably freaking out over something really really stupid, so forgive me. I just got out of the bathtub and noticed just how big my belly is now. The best way to describe this without posting a picture ... right after my boobs above belly button is like really round and protruding. I am worried that I shouldn't be showing up there like that. I am scared it will cut off my breathing and suffocate me or something. It scared me when I looked in the mirror. I am only 17 weeks 5 days pregnant. I am also only 4'9". I have always been worried that carrying a baby would kill me because of my heighth. I know that sounds so stupid! Does the way I described my belly sound normal to you all?? I am really freaking out about this, so all you pregnant or have been pregnant people please reassure this first time mom! LOL

Thanks.

I had an ultrasound done at 13 weeks to make sure that the baby does not have down syndrone. This is a normal procedure. - I was told that the baby looked okay and the probability of something being wrong is 1 in 10,000. At 19 weeks, I had another ultrasound (level 2) - to see how the baby's growth is going - everything was normal but she saw a cyst on the right side of his head. Doctor advised that she sees this in many kids and that the cyst shrinks by the 7th month... Blood vessels form in many sizes and therefore make some larger than others. But has anyone gone through this and if so, was the outcome a positive one???

About 3 weeks ago, I went to a clinic to get an abortion(Surgically) They couldn't do the procedure because they couldn't see my sac, it was to early. So what i did was take the Abortion Pill, Now my question is, how long do i wait to take another pregnacy test to see if it worked, because right now between school & work i don't have the time to get to a doctor. I dont seem to really be having side effects of being pregnant but you never know.. Please help.
Thank You!

I am so sick of the debate whether a mom should stay at home or go to work. I am so sick of hearing other people's opinions imposed on other people. Dr. Phil even devotes entire shows to it to let these two factions battle it out. I have heard women debating two times this week already and I am really sick of it. Why can't people just accept that there are millions of different people with millions of different cicumstances, and that a woman who choses to work is not a selfish monster who is neglectful to her children and a stay at home mom is not someone who sits at home and eats bon bons. This is the 21st century, and because of the femanist movement, we have a choice to stay at home, or go to work. I really wish people would just get off thier soap boxes, and thinking first and foremost about thier children, not how wrong they think others are.

Okay, so the first day of my last period was June 5th and I haven't had a period since, no spotting, no cramping, nothing. We are trying to get pregnant and I went off the pill in December. I know it can take a while for your period to return to normal after quitting the pill, but it's been a long time since I've had my period. I've taken 6 home pregnancy tests and they've all been negative. I have a doctor's appointment on the 19th, but I would like to hear some other opinions on this. I really don't think 6 hpt's are wrong, but if I'm not pregnant, what could be going on? Thanks for you opinions!
