Who here would sign it? I want to do it but worry about posting my real name publicly. Some prolifers are equal to Muslim extremists with their violence and hate, they scare me.

THis month instead of bleeding, i got 2 days of spotting. I did have sex 10 days before my period was due, and it was unprotected, I am on birth control and i missed the days after we sex, other then that i was pretty regular that month. I have been very lazy on this before,and even during ovualtion I never got pregnant. Im not saying its impossible, i just would think it would be harder, since i wasnt ovulati. I've been on the pill for exactly a year this month. And i never had a problem with spotting, it always came the tuesday of the last week in september, and this month it didnt. It came in spotting form. The days before my period i did have cramping that was alittle irregular for me, It was sharp pains. But it wouldnt last long, or end up being to unbearable. On the day that my spotting started, i became naseas, and very tired. I dont know if this has something to do with the fact that im spotting. I know i should see a doc. but has this happended to u, or do have any sugestions

Specifically at what age can you no longer LEGALLY punish a child with stripping down and standing in the corner? My oldest (15) is terrified of this and I think it keeps her drug-free. But as she gets older and closer to 18 I don't think she'll consider it a legitimate punishment and it won't be an effective threat anymore. I seriously doubt "taking away privileges" will make the same impression.

Ok, I was supposed to start my period on the 25th of this month. Well I'm going to be 7 days late tomorrow. I've been having this pulling sensation in my stomach right behind my bellybutton. I've also been having very mild cramps, not like cramps that I have normally. I know this is way too much info, but when I'm using the bathroom I check up in there with toilet paper to see if I'm going to start but I have barely any blood at all. Some times none. I keep waiting to start but it never does. I tested last thursday but it was negative. Most likely it was also too early. Does anyone have any types of symptoms like that? Oh yeah and I feel like I'm going to throw up sometimes during the day. If someone can help me that would be great!

She is driving me nuts... I will be firm with her and I don't give her things when she is hysterical and crying for them. She just crys and crys and crys... I try to redirect her attention. I try to put her in a spot untill she can calm down ( stays but continues to cry). She is very very clingy to me (to the point where I have to pry her little hands out of my hair), I am a stay at home mother with her so she sees me all day everyday almost. She goes to play groups just fine without my presents there and doesn't have a fit so I know its nothing to do with seperation. I will say what I want her to say to me. If she is happy at that moment she will repeat it to me but if not she just crys like I am asking the world of her. What more can I get her to stop crying so much.

She is not like this to her dad... just me.

Like how rich kids think they are all that, or ppl who drive certain luxury cars dont have to signal, what is it that makes some think they are just more important?

I took my daughters temp today (this evening) and it read 102 degrees. (She had been acting funny and felt hot all day).

She is 14 months old and before today, has never had a fever or otherwise been sick.
She's a healthy kid.

I gave her the reccomended dose of Motrin right before I put her to bed. And it's after hours at her pediatrician, and I wouldn't really consider this an emergency.

I don't have experience with sick kids, like I said, she's never had a fever before. The only other symptom she had was a runny nose.

So are there any tips you can share with me?
Do I have to wake her up in a few hours to take her temp?

I am 36 weeks pregnant and a couple of days ago I started spotting. I went to the doc. and they said everything is okay I am just starting to soften and thin out. However, today I have had very sharp pains down in my pelvic area. Especially when he moves. It feels like I am breaking down there and he's trying to cut himself out..lol. He is moving fine..just really sharp pains and soreness down in my vaginal area. Has anyone experienced this before. I have a doc. appointment in 3 days and I was just wondering till then. I also have been having a ton more of braxton hicks. Thanks for your help.

We dealt with one back in April, now we're 6 weeks in (we were about 5 weeks last time) and he's worried because I'm getting 'into' the idea of being pregnant again.

I think he's worried about how I'll react (it was baaad last time...) if I think about this kiddo this time around. Particularly if something goes wrong.

I have a very good feeling about this. Good (if they can be called that ;P) symptoms, TWO positive HPTs, and a general more positive feeling.

Any of you had this problem before? Having a partner more worried about a possible miscarriage than yourself? And YOU'RE the one carrying? Sheesh!

I don't like the style of parents who are always nagging and punishing their kids, so how I can I show these kids that they need to take me seriously (i.e. not jump all over me, pull my hair, etc.) without being overly strict?

Last month I messed with my pills and postponed my period for a week. then i had my period and during it had sex. about 2 days after it was over i spotted for 3 consecative days in the late afternoons only. I took a pregnancy test, and it came back negative, but i haven't actually missed a period yet and shouldnt for another 2 weeks if i keep taking my birth control so it seems like it could just be to early to take a test... but the spotting worries me. i have never ever had this before
