Im pregnant and surely there is a way of discovering this baby is my ex fiance, I know it is but for the child sake. He is selling his house and moving away and putting all profit into an off shore account to avoid payment. Can I not serve any legal papers on him, at present my lawyer doesnt seem to know anything of the top of his head so I want any advice?

Does anyone have a child that went through this? He just walks up to people and will scratch them with his fingers. I don't know how to get him to stop. Any solutions?

My daughter is due Dec. 26. I don't want her special day to be lost among the holidays as she grows up. Does anyone have ideas to celebrate her birthday in a special way that is separate from Christmas?

We are having a hard time using one syllable names for first names. They work better as middle names, but we want to call our child by his/her first name. If it's a boy his name will be Cole. If it's a girl her name will be Raine.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and last night I had decided to have a half a cigarette , bad I know. I felt incredibly guilty.I had read though, that it can cause a miscarriage if it is an excessive amount bit is a half a cigarette excessive? I went to bed as usual very hungry, but instead of waking up a billion times in the night like I usually do to eat or go to the restroom, I did not wake up at all. What's worse is that I woke up this morning and I was not even hungry. I don't have any dis-charge , I feel fine, I never had morning sickness to begin with, just nausea and bloating and the breasts hurting, but I am worried. Should I be?

My last period started Aug 7th. My cycle is usually 33 days. Usually a couple of days before my period starts, I'd have cramps or boob tenderness. But this month...nothing. I was supposed to get my period on/around Sept 9th. Lately, I've been getting headaches, lower back pain and a little nausea but not enough to actually make me vomit. And also i've been really thirsty. I've been feeling a little tired but then again it might be because I'm working 2 jobs. I took a test 4 days ago...negative. This morning, my stomach hurts (cramps) and it was spotting (bright red). If I was to stand on my feet for at least 30mins, I'd feel really sick like wanting to vomit. I'm assuming I'm getting my period? Should I test again? Anybody have or had this same symptoms???

When I first got prego I went to the Dr and the did a ultrasound at 71/2 weeks because I thought I might be farther along than I was. He said my due date was the 14th, then when I had my first actual ultrasound she said I was a week behind and that is my new due date....I feel like I am unsure now about what time I should expect my baby. Anybody been there before or have any advice. Could the ultrasound tech be off?

His school timing is 9 am to 3 pm. We tried the local kids cab service and they are full and checked with the school, if we could request other parents and it is not working. Our work schedules are too demanding time wise and hence we ourselves cannot pick and drop him. Any ideas.

My baby seems developmentally fine...has met all milestones so far, but is not babbling like the baby books say she should be. Obviously I will talk to my pedi about this next week, but I am a bit concerned. She raises her voice up and down by kinda baby yelling, laughs, smiles, etc., but really isn't putting anything together like "baaa" "daaa"... and especially Mama and Dada. I know she is too young to really know the meaning of Mama and Dada, but I have read she should at least be saying them involuntarily. She "seems" to hear okay, actually can hear a pin drop and wakes up, passed her newborn hearing tests, but what could be causing this? Signed, Worried Mommy!

30 years since I been pregnant. Alot has changed with time. I actually have a 3 part question. Will start with "butterflies".... I am not quite sure yet how far along I am but feel like these little twitching butterfly movements - sometimes. Normal?? Next is boobs. It is like they hurt on the "inside" and I see big blue veins around them - that I do not normall witness. Again is that normal? And finally hiccups....Seems as though I get them alot. Plus it also seems like I am quite clumsy these days. Sorry for so many questions - but 30 years ago - was a long time ago. Ty for any help

I previously had a wonderful OB doctor who saw me through my difficult pregnancy and delivered my first son... I am now pregnant again... and have a new insurance company that his office does not accept.. so I have had to switch OB doctors for this pregnancy. I am 28 weeks now and am still not "comfortable" with this new doctor's office... it is a lot different from my first doctor and his staff. I actually have not even seen the doctor. I have appointments with her, but every time I go in.. something "comes up" and I see the nurse practitioner instead. I have talked to other women who say it is typical to not see the doctor until your last few months but since this was not the experience I had with my first pregnancy.. it worries me.. Is this really typical? What are some ways that I can find more information on this doctor other than what the staff at her office tells me?

I know I'm having an epidural, so I don't need to learn lamaz or anything. How important are birthing classes? Who took them and loved them? Who took them and didn't need them? Who didn't take them and did fine?

Last Christmas my daughter "gave" mugs with her handprint on to grandparents and godparents. I'm trying to think of something new for her to do this year. She likes colouring in and stickers. I was thinking of making coloured macroni necklaces for female relations, but I'd be grateful for any ideas.

I know every kid is different but on average. One of my coworkers got all self ritious on me and said that her daughter was potty trained at 12 months old and there was no reason my daughter wasn't. I have tried to start training her but she has not responded well so I don't want to push her too much. She is 2 1/2.

I am 18 and with little or no social life or even contact. My parents never let me do anything in high school like going to the mall exc. or movies with friends. I am not kidding i only ever saw my friends at school and a bf was out of the question. I made a few attempts but at 17 they were still asking to meet my friends parents and giving my friends the 5th degree so most did not even want to visit me. My dads motto was school is not for socializing. Senior year i barley was allowed to go to homecoming but i did meet a bf there and well messed things up badly with a pregnancy scare drama which led to complete isolation. I was never a bad kid and always kept good grades and never snuck out or did anything. I am now in my first year of college doing well so far but feel out of place socially. I only really have three friends two are still in highschool and i feel lost and angry with my parents.

I have 2 boys ages 10 and 11. For now at least their mother has custody, and my job has crazy hours so i can only get them once or twice a month so i have very little influence on them. Although i'm thankful their not into rap, their getting into heavy metal which is just as bad. Not so much the music but the lifestyle and the crowd it attracts is what worries me.How can I make sure they don't use drugs?
