my H and I have an 8 month year old son. He has 2 daughters from another marriage.We live 2 states away from the girls so we dont see them often AND their mom says some bad things about us in front of them as well as they have not gotten to meet their new brother due to legal matters(the mom puts her petty issues with my husband and I before the girls knowing their family).I want our son to have a close sibling to grow up with(one that he won't have a tainted relationship with). My husband is afraid that his daughters will feel "replaced." I feel that the only reason young children feel that way is because the idea is encouraged by an adult(I'm not pointing any fingers BUT the Mom has abandonment issues as well). I do not thnk it's fair for our son to grow up wthout knwing wht it's like to have a bro or sis becuse of ths reason.my H wnts our son to hav a good relatonshp wth the grls but I don't see tht hppenen anytme soon.Our son shuldn't have to wait to knw what its lke to hav tht

My friend asked me to post this question about terrible itching all over her body. She is approx. 6 weeks along. She says the itch never goes away & it is on all different parts of her body. She keeps scratching, but can never satify the itch. It sounds crazy, but she is deperate. The doctor says to quit taking the prenatal vitamins & see what happens. She quit taking them, and still no relief. Has anyone else ever heard of this?

we had a cat since it was 2 mo old-2years. after i had my daughter, we became afraid that the cat would hurt her, and put cat out side-then after 2 weeks it was gone! this was about 1 1/2 yrs ago. my daughter and i want a cat or a small dog. he says no way,not until she is old enough to spend time with it, feed it and pick up after it. is he being resonable. I bug him for one, but he says no! what age is good for a child to ahve a cat or dog. he wont budge for a smaller pet either, only a fish. I want her to have a pet she could pet/touch.

Can a baby develop a intolerance to formula even after being on it for a long time. My daughter is on a special order formula called Neocate Infant. She is 11 months old. She has been on this formula for probably 10 months. In the last month she has started gagging and has a lot of air/gas in her tummy. She has a g-tube and has had a fundoplication. Is it possible she has developed an intolerance to her formula even though she was fine with it before?

I've a friend.She's a girl and she's my best friend i ever had.But now she's in grief. Its because she is not so good in her studies. 2 yrs. back she used to be a topper but now she is far behind. She gets depressed too easily.She is my best friend and i can never see her sad.Though i'm good in studies, and i want to help her. But it seems that even my help would not change her appreciably.She's asking for advice from me as a friend.

This is only the second sleepover I've ever been to. The first time, I didn't know i would stay the night. One other time i was asked and made an excuse at the last minute because I felt really...bad inside. Now I know i have to go to this sleepover, but I feel really bad/nervous. Why is this?

My cousin is expecting a bouncing baby boy. She and her husband want the baby to have his name. Not too long ago an uncle she was very close to passed away, and she wants to give the baby the uncle's first name as a middle name. If she does that, can the baby still be a Jr.?

During my ultrasound it hurt in someplaces and I don't remember that from any other ultrasound before and I don't know if it is just me being paranoid but it looked like the person was taking pictures of not just the baby. She would put it in some spots, even the top of my growing belly and take pictures away from were the baby could be. Like on my left side (which hurt the most) she would put the wand on my stomach and face it out towards the left away from my uterus. Now it has been awhile since I had a ultrasound for a baby besides my quicky ones looking for a baby and a heartbeat. But is this normal procedure and I am worrying for nothing or not. My doctors appt was canceled yesturday because my OB was called to deliver and I don't see him till tommorrow afternoon and I am worried something is wrong.

This is my second pregnancy so I have done it, but don't remember them checking the side or it hurting.

My parents live in the same city as us, we plan to tell them in person when I am around 3 months pregnant.

We would like to tell them at a family get together or dinner.

What are good ways to tell them they will be grandparents for the first time?


Thanks!

My period (or what I think was my period)came on the 25th of August when it wasn't due until the 10th of September. It was not only about two weeks early but it was also a really light flow and only lasted about 24 hours when usually it lasts 3-4 days. I took a pregnancy test the early part of September and the results were negative. Now it's the 28th of September and my period hasn't come yet (I don't even know when to expect it). Is it possible that I still may be pregnant?

In augutst 2005 i had a depo provera injection. i never had a follow up injection but know it can affect your fertility for a year or so. i then took the pill for a couple of months, but have been contraception free now for about 9 months but havent fallen pregnant. is this due to the depo provera? and if so how long before things go back to normal. my cycle has been 28 days for the last 6 months and periods seem normal.

i have previously had treatment for endometriosis and have been told i have polycystic ovaries in the past but dont suffer systems of this.

How long do i leave it before going to see the doctor? Is there anything i can do myself to increase my chances of conceiving?

Icame out of the shower and my 3yr old girl saw me undressed and asked what was that...pointing to my breast, then she wanted to grab them, I said No to her and explained she shouldn’t touch other people's privet parts or she shouldn’t let others touch hers. But I wasn’t sure if not letting her was the correct thing.

I know there are plenty of women who have had false pregnancy test and have indeed been pregnant. I tested this morning and it was negative. It is three days before my period is due. My temp is still high, 98.46 this morning. I went to a clinic that gives free test so I don't know how sensitive the test was. The problem is that I went to the same clinic about 7 years ago and got a test before I missed a period and got a positive with my son. Is it possible each pregnancy could be different? Could I have tested early with my son and it showed but test early with another pregnancy and it not show? Has anyone who has been preg more then once had this happen to them?
