Should my husband and I find out the gender of our baby? Some people say yes (for practical purposes) and others say no because it spoils the element of surprise. We are supposed to find out around Christmas, if we do. Advice/Opinions are appreciated.

I am already 18 yet my parents still don't want me to have a girl-boy relationship. The problem is that I had disobeyed them so many times, i had a lot of boyfriends when i was still in highschool but all of them are just puppy love but now i think i am really in love with this man aged 19, both of us are still studying in college. We dated secretly and I am so afraid that somebody who knows me might see us and will report to my parents about us..! i don't want to lose this guy because in him I feel secured and tHat I really feel his Love and sincerity to me..! what is the right thing that I am going to do.!

My parents can't understand me, especially my father,no matter how hard I tried to convince them that I will still focus on my study even if I have a boyfriend.

My five year old for some reason does not want to go to school. She wakes up in the morning and already starts with "i dont want to go to school". This is all i hear all morning long. She throws a fit to get dressed, brush her teeth, do her hair...the whole thing. Anything that has to do with getting ready for school she throws a fit about. And when I say throws a fit I mean is screaming and doing the whole i am not going to put my leg in the pants hole or put my shoes on. Then she won't eat breakfast. I tell her that she is still going to school even if she doesn't want to eat.

After 45 minutes of this, I take her to school. I have to walk her because the school is so close. So the entire way i hear "i don't want to go to school". She won't answer any questions you ask her, all she says is she don't want to go to school.

I walk her in her class room and the teacher always reassures me that alot of kids do this and it take sthem about six weeks to get used to it.

My son is 8 months old and only uses his soother for his nap time. He is usually nursed to sleep, or is drowsy enough that he doesn't need the soother. It's not a big deal now, but sooner or later it will be, I'm not a fan of an older baby with a soother. When did you stop using it and how did you do it without totally scarring the baby ?

I am 15 weeks I thought I was showing but this morning when I woke up I didn't appear to be showing anymore, is this normal at 15 weeks? Shouldn't I be showing by now? How can I tell when I'm showing instead of just bloated??

Ive had my nipples pierced for about 5 years (both of them). I know You're not suppose to keep the jewlery in while feeding the baby because they could choke. What I was wondering is....anyone who has theirs pierced or knows someone who has them pierced, were you able to keep the piercing while breast feeding, or is it just too much of a pain in the a$$, or are they just too sensitive to keep taking them out and putting them back in? Ill take them out if I have to, but Ive had them so long I feel naked without them. Thanks.

Ive been taking my 2 youngest kids (1 yo girl & 2 yo boy) to a home day care for almost a year now. Her name is Candice and she has a 2 yr old boy that is my boys BF now. She loves them to pieces and only watches 2 other kids part time. She is not a "licensed" provider so I can not deduct her....
The other is ny neighbor, Lisa, three houses down who runs a licensed day care out of her home. My 2 yr old went there previously. I do not care for her as a person, she is pretty indifferent. And she has an assistant and watches 12 kids. She does a preschool program, which would be beneficial and she is only 3 houses down (so no more driving-the other is only 5 min away). But something is holding me back from switching. I LOVVVVEEE my current sitter and she loves my kids. Overall, the convenience of Lisa (the neighbor) is appealing, but I love Candice and she loves my kids. I mentioned this dilemna top her this morning and she said she would be willing to drop off and pick up my son.

I had my son when I was 16 and had a horrible pregnancy and labor.. significant loss of blood and whatnot. My Dr. has told me there is a %50 chance I will not be able to conceive again. I'm now 21 and my husband (as of Aug.) wants two more of his own. I have told him it may be difficult to conceive but not exactly what the Dr had told me. I'm afraid that I cannot give him the children he wants, what should I do?

What is the risk, concern regarding pregnancy and x-rays?

It's always "possible" that I could be pregnant. I am late, LIKE always and I have x-rays this afternoon?

I get x-rays once every 3 months, so we always have this issue.

The area around my belly button when I push it feels hard. I'm quite small (around 24 inch waist), but I know I'm not developing abs. Could this be an early pregnancy sign or something more serious like a tumor?
