Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 September 2006

Can a birth mother give up parental rights and change her mind later? I think I've heard of cases where this happens.

I would like to look into adoption someday but this thought scares me.

Am 34 weeks pregnancy in a high risk pregnancy after my last one put me in a coma. I have a boyfriend who is only travelling to see me once or twice a week, is cold and distant, pays no interest in the baby or throughout my pregnancy and has told me tonight that he will only be at the hosp when I have it FOR ME. And wont come shopping for stuff as it dont interest him, yet shopping for his race car does interest him. He said he never want this baby and just continually hurts me. But just cant see it, says he is doing his best!! I have suffered with bad anxiety and depression through the last 34 weeks, as I nearly died with my child from my first relationship. He said he WONT and CANT put up with it. Has left me crying my eyes out and this was someone who used to shower me with so much love. And asked me to marry him in Feb this year, asking my Dad and everything. I just dont know what to do anymore...Feels like someone has burst my bubble, the man who loved me so much :(

Have been bleeding since Tuesday ( I was 6 weeks pregnant)when I was told there was no heartbeat. The blood is in copious amounts and up until today the pain has been excruciating. How long should I expect this to go on for? Am due to for another vaginal scan on Tuesday where they will check nothing has been left in my womb; or should I wait til I've stopped bleeding? Am moving on more emotionally than physically, purely to keep going for my other kids.

I am looking for whatever information anyone knows about child support laws in Illinois and in general. I am 4 months pregnant and the father has already said he does not want to be in the childs life so I am doing research now to see what it is I can do. I know I am going to file for child support and he does too, but he's treatened to do just about everything in the book...relinquishing his parental rights, putting funds in other people's names, moving out of state, the list is endless.

The only two issues I'm really concerned with at this point is him putting funds into other people's accounts and him moving out of state. His family has a business in which he has said he'd put things under and he has said he might move to California for some type of job. The parental rights I'm not too concerned with because I think I read that even if he gives up his rights, he still has to pay child support if he is ordered to, unless I'm mistaken. What can I do if any of this happens?

My son's smart for his age. He does have disabilities. He has been diagnosed Adhd, Odd, and Bipolar.
Has seen 2 psychiatrist's, and 2 psychologist's. Been on several medication's that have failed. My son's dad & I have joint custody, His dad does have visitation.
He has distorted ideal's @ times of who he want's to live with, as in his step-dad and I moving with him to his dad's. I cant seem to get my son to understand that just cant happen. His dad and I have very different view's on my son's disabilities, he believe's nothing is wrong with him, and will never try and get him help.
I on the other hand know he has the disabilities along with 4 Dr's diagnosis. But not getting anywhere with medicine, and Dr's. The medicine either doesn't work, or is too strong & dangerous, and I get him off the medicine's.
I know my son loves me, but wants to live with his dad, its a very hard decision I have to make. As a court date is close. I have had to hire an attorney. Serious answers please

if i were pregnant, it would be about maybe 1 1/2 - 2 months. yesterday, i woke up about 5 times yesterday morning, and i was sick to my stomach. that's never happened to me before. it was weird, i didn't want to eat anything. homemade mac n cheese sounded gross to me throughout the whole day and even today for some reason. i couldn't eat anything. my period lated about 2 whole days. i had a blood clot and i guess thats a sign that i'm not pregnant. but some people said that i could be. i need to get a test. i even feel a little sick today. i'm getting headaches everyday.

so could i be pregnant?

and i did have xrays at the dentist. i've asked the question before, what harm could it bring to my baby?

Unfortunately my scan on Friday showed no heartbeat so now I have to wait as I haven't yet miscarried. The scan lady said there was the possibility that I would be offered a D&C or a pill to start the miscarriage. Has anyone had either of these? What do you think? The baby was 8w5d (though I wasn't sure of my dates and my daughter was born big so there's a chance that's too far). How long will recovery take? Can I go to work? Will I be in bed?

Thanks, the not knowing is making it worse.

The baby weighed 6 1/2 pounds at 36 weeks and the doctor said it would likely be overdue. The due date is three days from now. Should we consider being induced?
