Pregnancy & Parenting - 6 October 2006

At lunch, I overheard this expression used by a loud-talking lady on a cellphone ahead of me in line, and I got to wondering.
I'm not certain, but I believe that every time I've heard this used, it turns out that the kid in question has very poor behavior all the time, not just when he wants to. What do you think of the expression? Do you use it? What does it really mean?

Ok I'm confused. Why are {Some} girls taking birth control pills if they aren't even having sex? Are they trying to prove something or am I retarded? (Hopefully it isn't choice two but I am confused.)

My son is now 2 months old and wasn't able to be circumsized when he was born because he has a webbed penis. He is scheduled for surgery in 2 months and I was just wondering if anyone has gone through this with their own little boys? What should we expect?

I'm soon to be having a baby but also thinking about making diaper cakes for friends, etc. I can get the nicer brands in bulk but I was wondering if a mom would prefer receiving luvs or pampers diapers. I can get 224 (size 1) Luvs diapers for $31.99 or 228 (size 1) Papmers diapers for $36.99. Also, I've never shopped for them- is this a bargain? Thanks so much!

Okay do you guys ever make your kids eat foods they really dont like? Not in a mean way.....but just to get them to try it? Like our boys HATE stews and soups. But we still eat them once in awhile.....Or mushrooms...Yea they hate those! But sometimes we cook with them, half the time they dont even know they are there. So if you hide them, they dont always know....Is that something thats just in their head? Do you make them finish their plates? Or let them tell you when they are full? We make ours finish their plates but we dont put alot on them, they can always have more...Im just curious to know how others do these things:)

We find out the sex of our baby next month and if its a boy, he will be a junior of course, but if its a girl we're at a stale mate on names. I really want the initials to be S. A. Give me some cute girl names that start with an S and a cuter middle name that goes with it that begins with an A! Have fun with it but nothing to weird or crazy or hard to pronounce. Thanks!!

I can understand people wanting the choice to have a baby or not...although i do not agree with abortion personally...I can respect the fact that it is available as a choice...but only after a few weeks....Why would anyone want people to be able to abort a baby near full term?...provided it is not where the mother will loose her life (which i have heard is a very rare case)

I am 5 wks pregnant; my Dr is having me go in for a 3rd blood test. I have had 6 miscarriages in the past, but this is the 1st time that my 2nd blood test showed the pregnancy hormone doubling. Should I be concerned over the 3rd blood test, or is my Dr being extra cautious??

Ok my child is about to go on milk. he turns one at end of month. I try and give him a little bit of milk but everytime i do, either the next day or maybe 7-10 hrs later he throws up. But he is ok on formula. whats going on is he allergic or is it because im giving him whole milk?

ok, i'm on the pill.........and this last cycle i screwed it up pretty bad, i'd miss a day here and there and just take a double dose the next day and i did that a couple times! But i was also EXTREMELY stressed out this month too!
so i was supposed to start my period anytime from last sunday, it never came........... yesterday after work i tested and it was negative...............last night my husband and i had sex and this morning i had a little some CM streaked with red, so i thought my period finally came............but after checking again later this afternoon, i haven't had anything else...........what's goin on with me.....is it the stress, the pill, or could i be pg..........i'd think i would have gotten a positive by now though right!??
someone please give me your best opinion on this!!! THANK YOU!!!

I've never had kids, he has a son who was diagnosed at age 6 with diabetes... he's so afraid of passing it on to a child again if I were to become preggers. Does anyone know anything about odds and new studies and stuff? I'm freaking out if we can't have kids (healthy ones)!!!!!

My husband and I have been TTC for 13 months now. We are currently going through testing to find out what is wrong. I am only 24 years old and my hubby is 31. We just seem to get so wound up in all the TTC stuff, that we get stressed and seem to not have fun with sex anymore. We used to be able to just get fired up at the drop of a hat, but now, we are always too exhausted and if it is not the "right time" of the month, we seem to not even make the effort anymore. I can understand when I am too tired from work or he is, but it seems like when I want to, he does not, or vice versa. Does anyone have any ideas on how me and hubby can destress and spice up our sex life? We are still TTC, but I think we need to have a little fun with it too!

Please watch this video and reconsider! Abortion is murder and we must do something. Do you want to be guilty of this "crime"?

She happily eats crackers, raw carrots, basically anything that she can hold but when it comes to proper meals she just chucks her bowl or plate on the floor without even attempting to do it herself. But when I feed her she is always trying to take to spoon from me.

I returned to work this week and have been using a hospital grade double electric breast pump at work so I can give breast milk to my baby's daycare provider. (my baby is 12 weeks old and weighs about 14 pounds) I pump 4 times per day at work and get about 12-14 ounces of milk. My daycare provider gives him that milk plus 1 or 2 bottles of formula during the day. I'm not sure if I should let him have formula. Am I hurting my milk supply by letting the daycare give him formula? If he doesn't get enough milk during the day, can he "catch" up by nursing on demand at home?
