Ladies, I was wondering After having a child What turns you off about sex?

The only reason I ask is because my fiance just had a baby boy 7 months ago. And now she is saying that sex is overrated and if she doesn't have sex then she will be happy because all she wants is me.

What makes you ladies have sex right after the 6 week period of waiting but then get turned off of sex right after?

I am trying to see if there are any old wives tales about natural ways of trying to influence the sex of your unborn child.....like if you eat more lemons it will increase the female chromosomes...( sorry about the spelling!) I hope someone can help me!

Does this increase chances of miscarriage or other problems?

I have just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant and I am so aware of any pain or cramp. I feel like Im going to go mad half of the time!

Does anyone else feel this way and are the cramps normal?

One of my twins wants to eat every hour and a half to two hours. I feed him 2 oz, and i wanted to know if that was enough. My other twin is content with the 2 oz and she wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat.

I haven't had a period in over a year. My hormones dropped and my doctor discovered that I have PCOS. My husband and I are trying to conceive, so my doctor put me on 50mg Clomid. Most other women I have talked to with the same problem say they only get pregnant on 150mg. Has anyone gotten pregnant on 50mg?

I'm 26wks now. At all of my prenatal appts. my doc says "you're doing awesome" and all my measurements are fine so far! And at my 20wk scan he measured 1wk 6days bigger! But, my tummy isn't looking very pregnant, just a little, but the baby is moving A LOT. I'm just worried that there's not enough room, why don't I feel the weight of the baby is he's a foot long or so and should weigh about 1 1/2 to 2pnds?? Shouldn't I be sticking out more? This is my 1st pregnancy!!!

Hey parents! I was wondering what's considered abuse and what's not. So Could you list the many things that's considered abuse that didn't used to be considered abuse?

Like putting a toddler less than two years old in his/her room when he/she screams and let her bawl and scream in her room? Is that abuse?

I don't have any kids of my own but I saw that on tv.

What is the Disney cartoon?
My son watched this cartoon the other day and he loved it. It was a clay like cartoon (mix between Wallace and Gromit and a toon) about the character overstating his pumpkin. And, invited the town for a pumpkin pie but didn't have a big enough pumpkin to make. The characters sounded Australian and it looked like they lived in the Outback.

Can someone tell me the toon?

My first day of my last period was on 9/1/06. My cycle is 28 days. I'm trying to get pregnant, I had sex almost every day since my last period ended. On 9/24/06 I went to the bathroom and noticed some spotting, and then hours later I went to the bathroom again, and no more spotting. I want to mention that I was having some light cramping too, since yesterday. Could I be pregnant or is too early to know?

I was in a bad abusive relationship before and had 4 kids. I didn't want to have any more kids with him so I had my tubes tied. 3 yrs later I have met someone who loves us and has given us everything( house, love laughter etc.). He has no children of his own and I would love to give him one. Can I reverse this procedure? And if so what are the chances of me getting pregnate again?

This just hasn't been a normal mentrual cycle, and I'm currently 4 days late (VERY unusual). I took a test two days ago and it was negative. I know it's totally possible for a grocery store preg test to be wrong, and I know I took it really early, so you don't need to tell me that, and yes, I will be taking it at a week late (unless I start before then), but I was just wondering how many others that's been the case for.
BTW, I'm 29, married with a 2.5 year old. Not trying to get pregnant, but would be THRILLED if I was:).

I am doing a graduate paper on magazines for adolescents. I know what teen girls read, but I am not as familiar with what teen boys read. Any examples or titles would be greatly appreciated. I just need to know subject matter, etc. Also, why do you think that teen boys media is not as congruent as all the teen girls stuff. For example, teen boys do not have a magazine that tells them how to dress, workout tips, dating, etc.

I'm 23 weeks pregnant and currently off sick from the pain and due to go back tomorrow. I work as a nursery assistant which involves a lot of physical work which aggravates it (Hence me being off sick after going to the doctor with unknown hip/pelvis pain). I saw my physiotherapist for the first time today who says it's SPD but hasn't been able to give me a belt as she has had to refer me to another physio who specialises in womens health.

I've already called my boss who said that I'd be moved into the 3-5's room for the rest of my pregnancy which I'm not looking forward to as spending the day with a group of chaotic preschoolers when I'm in pain and can't do much isn't my idea of fun, but it avoids the lifting..

I'm just worried about what I am/am not going to be physically able to do and what I should avoid??

My first weighed 6 13 at 41 1/2 wks. im now 36 wks prego in just had 2 ultrasounds that were both saying the baby weighs 7 2 already. The Dr. said the baby gains most of its weight the last two months. Could my due date be wrong or could my second really weigh that much more that my first. Also im small built and labor with my first was terrible. Im afraid that this one might be to big for me to deliver if I go full term. Any answers?

I think why spend all these extra hours at the hosptial bored or have unnessecary pitocin or procedures because labor started 30 mins. ago. I am fine with medicated births but give yourself a chance to get started. Do others feel this way?
