Where do celebrities come up with these names? I was watching Vh1 last night and it was a show on celebrity babies. Grier Hammond? And that's a girl! There's more that shocked me but that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Where do celebrities come up with these names? Some are actually cool to me so I'd like to know where they get these things. Celebrity's Guid to Baby Naming? BabyNamesForTheRichAndFamous.com? Where do they get 'em? :-)

I don’t know if it’s just me or every mother that feels this way. I used to be so stylish--I wore what I wanted but I always looked well put together. Now that I’m a mother I almost feel like looking nice is against the rules. I’ll go to the doctor’s or the school and get stares because I’m not wearing a baggy tee and jeans. I get weird looks because I still dress like I always have. Why is it the “norm” not to care what you look like when you are a mother? Does looking well put together or stylish mean I’m a bad mother in others eyes? I just don’t understand why I’m supposed to lose myself just because I have a child.

Sorry Im a first time mom. Also if anyone has any tips for me that would be great. I am completly clueless about what is going to happen at the airport with her. I have never flown on an airplane with a baby.

I have a skin disorder called psoriasis I was wondering if any moms out there have heard if it is not ok to breast feed with this type of skin condition. I know they say it is something I am lacking in my immune system so I was wondering if my baby will get all the proper nutrients if I go a head and do it. also I have no and psoriasis on my breast now is there a good chance I may develop it there from cracked or dry nipples. I do plan to ask the doctor just wondering if anyone has experienced this before thanks for the advise

I was just wondering how far along you were. I'm 5 1/2 weeks and scared to death of miscarrying I have had one already about 5 months ago.♥ I just need some comforting, I'm freaking out♥ I have been to the doc and everything is good but I'm still so nervous. I go for my sonogram on the 19 of Oct. then maybe my mind will be eased. Also how soon would you know if you had an ectopic pregnancy. I have no pain but I did used to have PID so I am at risk for it. Thank you for all the nice answers. And please no rude remarks, I don't need that right now♥

Just want to see what you breastfeeding moms think of different breast pumps. What brand, what you liked, didn't like, etc.

I normally don't have periods while breastfeeding and taking progestrin only birth control pills. But would taking a regular birth control pill change that and make me have a period when I usually wouldn't while breastfeeding?

I know the typical time for ovulation to occur is once a month around 14 days after the start of your period, but does anyone know from personal experience if it is possible to ovulate more than just that one time a month?

i went the the hospital last night and was 3cm dialated and having regular contractions. they didnt tell me how effaced i was but 3 weeks ago at my dr appt. they said i was 50% so i am at least that much...they sent me home and now the contractions have all but stopped. i read that drinking castor oil and root beer will induce labor if you are ripe enough...i am ready to have this baby and at my witts end...would now be considered ripe enough for it to possibly work?? i have tried walking sex nip stim...pretty much everything i can think of not only am i uncomfortable but i am constantly nauseaous and i have a 2 year old at home i am taking out my foul moods on. i dont think she has seen her bedtime with me in weeks...i put her to bed as soon as i can and i feel horrible...i cant go on like this anymore and i just want to know if i am willing to try the castor oil and deal with the side effects and deal with the chance that it wont work i would be considered ripe enough???

On the bus ride home, your son's best friend (same age) said something mean to a neighborhood girl (a year younger), and in retaliation she said something mean back--but voiced it to both your son's friend and to your son because your son was sitting with his best friend. Your son then proceeds to push the little girl into the wall of the bus. Her brother's and friend inform you of this, and your son admits it and apologizes to the little girl. What else would you do?

What's up with these half and half people? You know those people who say abortion is murder when the women uses it as birth control but say it's not murder if the mother couldn't afford the child or if the child had a disability or if the woman was raped. What's up with that? I mean #1, if the child would be born to a mother who couldn't afford them--who says the only solution to that is abortion? Ever heard of adoption! What about if the child had a disability? Well, my grandmother has arthritus--maybe we should just kill her and put her out of her misery! Oh wait, the child would be born with a mental problem? Well, I've seen autistic people who are the happiest people you've ever met in your life but I guess we should just kill babies who are gonna be like them. And the woman was raped? What's the difference between that and a girl who got knocked up by her boyfriend and got dumped by him when he found out she was pregnant?

Ever heard the phrase "Don't compromise what's right?"

I have had terrible sciatic nerve problems since the beginning of my pregnancy. I am almost 15 weeks now. I have not been eating like I normally do, however, I feel I have been eating enough! I have not been very physically active because it is difficult. When I got pregnant I was overweight by about 75lbs. Well today I weighed myself and I lost 23 LBS. What is causing this? Do you think everything is okay? I go and see the doc next week!
