You would think we're trying to kill our 9-month-old daughter when we wipe her runny nose with a kleenex, or washcloth--Her face turns beet-red, she screams & cries, which all just make her nose that much more congested.

Any suggestions? I don't know any babies who like to have their noses wiped, but there must be somebody out there who has a trick that works....

When was the most uncomfortable moment? Are those birthes easier at home with the older siblings of the new baby around???

I'm too lazy to do research on here. Been on the pill for 4+ years, want to stop taking the pill and try to conceive. How long is it going to take if I stop right now on my second week of pills. Last cycle was 9/10 - 9/14. I never get a straight answer from my doctor and I am clueless about cycles, ovulation and whatnot.

I am a single mother who works 40 hours a week. I also have about a 20 to 30 minuet commute to work, (I just moved into a nicer home and a better neighborhood to raise my daughter). Lately I have not been able to spend much time with my 13 month old due to the change and I have been stuggling with feelings of guilt. I feel that others are raising my little girl and all I do is make the money, and keep our home up and running. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the little time I have with my baby "count" even more?

It has occured to me that it is quite convenient for men who create unplanned pregnancies to be advocates of pro-choice. If men are not also responsible for this unborn child then this argument has nothing to do with men and should be a gender specific debate. So, if women are the only ones with any choice to be made (according to pro-choice advocates) then why isn't it a women's only debate? And further, if only women get the choice of pregnancy then why is any man responsible for the financial support of this child once it is born? If he doesn't have a say on its gestation and it becomes the property of the woman then his role should be done for good.

If men are also responsible for the creation of babies then why are they not also required to approve an abortion procedure?

Over her. Aspen has been riding the bus for 2 years. We know the bus driver she lives at the end of the street. Last year the bus drivers grandson dared another girl to scratch Aspen, when Aspen told the driver, she did nothing, I called and complained to the bus driver union, of course nothing was done that I know of( we are short on drivers in the district that's why) Today Aspen was being harrassed by another girl and was going to tell on her but the little girl told the driver first that Aspen was going to tell on her, the driver responded don't worry I wouldn't do anything anyway! I'm so upset, I really don't have another way to get her from school besides the bus!! If I call and complain(which I will) nothing will be done, this may be why the driver is against Aspen due to the issue last year! What should I do, What can I do? I will try to arrange some other way to get her but it won't be over night, any suggestions?

I'm just asking this, and don't know what my real opinion is.
Most people say that the woman should have absolute control over her body: i.e. whether or not she has a baby or gets an abortion is her decision. I agree.
However,
Doesn't that also mean that a man should have the decision of whether or not he wishes to support that child?

I want honest answers, but I will ignore raw hipocracy.

He's always telling me that I need to not DO ANYTHING. My doctor put me on bed rest about 2 months ago. I was having lots of issues, but my doctor told me at my last appointment I can do little things like dishes, SOME light cleaning, cooking. But he's just all protective over me. I guess he thinks I'll loose the baby or something. I dont know! He's just annoying. Wants me to say in bed or the couch all day and I just cant lie around. Please help! (or maybe im just venting.)

In the past few years, I've noticed that so many parents take their children everywhere rather than get a babysitter. Examples include adult-only weddings, late-night movies, bars, and sporting events. And I don't mean older children, I mean babies and toddlers.

Why can't people nowadays leave the kids at home?

I feel it on my right lower side? I still get my period monthly. Could it be a tubal pregnancy? also in May 2006 I had a guss of blood clots,it felt like a rush of water, pains, aches but I thought it was because I didn't rest for two days. Now 4months later I'm feeling movement. If I happen to be pregnant does it mean I have to loose it or can I have it?

please tell me your opion from your heart i want to know what every body feels about . im agianst the hole thing no matter what ur problem is . if u have a health problem and the baby might kill u u should have though of that before had sex . if u got raped its not the kids fault have the baby and put it up for adoption . if ur 10 years old and ur having a kid u should suck it up cause u freaking old enough to have sex u are old enough to have a baby even if u are a so called baby !! u are to poor to take care of the baby put it up for adoption i dont care what your reason is there is always another way to do it besides killing the poor thing . AND PLEASE DONT TELL ME IT IS NOT ALIVE WHEN ITS IN THE WOOM BECAUSE IF IT WAS NOT IT WOULD BE DEAD WHEN IT WAS BORN !!!!

please only answer if you believe in a God and human life (whether you believe that starts after birth or during a certain trimester)
if a pro lifer said:
"I don't claim to know whether or not, or even when the joining of a sperm and egg becomes a human life but while there is still the chance that it is a spiritual human life I don't think you should chance commiting that murder. If there is still the chance of there being a person in an abandoned building, even the slightest chance, why would you demolish it?"
What is your response?

I'm 13 weeks pregnant and I've been experiencing headaches almost every other day. While I understand that the hormones cause these headaches, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can curb them? I've told my doctor about them, she said that I can use Tylenol, but I don't want to over do it. Thanks!
