Hi
My wife (29years old) is extremely afraid of getting pregnant. We are married for 4 years and she never had sx without condom. She thinks she will die if she get pregnant. I don't know her medical history before marriage but I am sure she had something related to abortion which she does not want to disclose. Now my question is : if she is able to get pregnant then is there any risk to have a baby assuming there were some medical(abortion type or any other pregnancy related issue) problem before her marriage. I don't need to hear her medical history but she is very crazy about having a child at the same time she is very afraid that she will die if she get pregnant and have a child birth.

Please help.

If a husband and wife agree to not have any more kids, and the husband has been very vocal about not wanting more kids, and there is an unplanned pregnancy, what's the best way to bring it up? (The wife is excited about the pregnancy but scared of husband's reaction.)

I went for my first scan on monday, sadly there was no heartbeat, the ultrasound measured 8 weeks (I should have been 9 + 3) the Dr offered me 2 options, a D & C or to go home and wait for myself to miscarry naturally I chose to miscarry naturally, but im not sure what to expect I started with mild cramps about 4 hours ago, is this it? Has anyone been in a similar situation as me? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I knew a single mom that went to school and sent her son to daycare and the government covered the cost as long as she was going to school or had a full time job. She sometimes only paid $10 a month.

I told several people the probable dates for my baby shower and I let them know to watch for the invitations. I didn't ask anyone what day is best for them because I know I can't accomodate everyone. I had several people reply to my email and tell me that they aren't available on certain days. Unfortunately I can't take that into consideration because I had to choose the day that was best for the grandparents and the hostess. I totally understand if someone can't make it but think it's rude for them to try to tell me what date to have it. Then after the date is set a couple of people asked if they should bring their husbands. Well the husband's name was not on the invite and if they look at the guest list on the website they can see it's ladies only. Am I the only one with difficult friends or maybe I'm just too grouchy? I just think that everyone should politely decline or politely accept. :)

I have an 18 month old daughter and I sometimes spank her when she does something that she shouldnt do. I don't do it often but when I do it I see that it really works. I just want to know your opinions so if you're just going to tell me that I'm a horrible mother and shouldn't have kids then just click on the back button on your computer and go to another question!

From those of you who chose to smoke, why? I have some friends who smoked their whole pregnancy and they are very unapologetic about it, even though one of them thinks her son has had problems as a result of it. Why choose to smoke when research shows it's so bad for babies? I've known a lot of people who quit when they got pregnant, or even when they were just trying to get pregnant. And for those of you who smoke in front of your kids, why do you do it, knowing the health risks you are causing your children? I'm not trying to judge, I'm just really curious as to why you make those choices. I've asked my one friend why she smoked while pregnant and why she smokes around her kid (he always smells of cigarettes) but she says she just doesn't have an answer. And I know she absolutely loves her son so I'm not questionong that at all.

I have heard good and bad things about First Response early result. Has anyone used this with positive results? My period is 5 days late but because we have been ttc for so many years I am afraid of getting that BFN. Do you have to use first morning urine with First Response? Also, I think that I may have experienced implantation bleeding from 9/16 to 9/19. Should I wait longer before I test? I have heard you should wait for 1 to 2 weeks after missed period. PLEASE HELP!!

He doesnt listen when I disipline him, test the waters way too much, when I tell him not to do something ( like open the stove) he will and when I come into the kitchen he will quickly slam it shut so as not to get in trouble.
I cant exactly beat him, but I dont want this to go on.
I want him to listen to me, I am very calm when I tell him not to do something, and I do smack his hands when he does someting I deem dangerous (like going down to the basement) I want him to start listening to me....any ideas? Feel free to keep your "Im a bad parent" comments to yourself and please only answer if you have kids.

My mother is 46 and I am 24.

I met my husband (now 26) 5 years ago and married him 2 years ago.

We have a great life together, we bought our own home and are very stable with our careers.

I recently mentioned to my mom that we were planning to have a baby in the next year or so.

She got all weird on me saying I should wait until I am 30 to have a baby, even though she started having children unmarried at 19.

My mother said she wanted me to wait until my little brothers (9 and 13 yrs old) are older, so then she can focus on my children.

She seems to have a problem with me having my own family and making family decisions with my husband without her approval.

I have been 100% independent since I moved out at 18 and she seems to still think she needs to okay my life decisions.

She wants to tell me when I should start my family!

Do mothers have a hard time accepting their children are adults?
