My two month old started crying inconsolably the last two nights for about four hours at a time, even after being fed, changed, rocked, etc. She doesn't have a fever and seems to be feeling okay the rest of the day. We recently moved into my parents house and I'm wondering if she misses her dad and her home.

It got infected and I had to pack it until it healed. All is fine there. My question is, is it normal afterwards to have a menstral cycle that lasts 5 weeks at a time?
I saw my doctor about it 3 months ago and she said I'd had an adhesion on the inside but that it was nothing to worry about and I'm fine.
Well, now it's happening again, and the doctors keep telling me it's normal. Even the surgeon who did the c-section said I'm fine.
Does this sound right? This is all new to me.

like me I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old, I dont work outside the house, but in the house. I do everything that involves this house.
And I do almost everything that involves our son.
The thing is I have noticed others mothers, like my husbands friends wives (who have kid and work) treat me like Im either a gold digger, a moocher, or someone that watched tv all day...and we dont even have cable!
If someone ask "what do you do all day" they dont ask it in a friendly way either.
My husband makes great money and gets me everything I want and our son, but people think Im just a gold digger...which is so not the case.
But then when you ask a mom who works if she would love to be able to stay home woth her kids full time, they say they would love to.
What gives?

Okay, first let me spill out the details of the sititation. Today my husband got off work and went to a friends house to watch some football (wasn't very happy about that but said okay) he came home watched more football and continued to drink more beer. I go outside to feed and play with our dog come in and his in the bedroom passed out watching some cartoon. I got no attention from him today. None at all. I tried once every hour for 5 hours to wake him up but he just mumbles and rolls over. What do I have to do to get his attention now days? I am 37 weeks pregnant. This will our first child and I want to spend as much time as possible with him before our daughter arrives. Am I just being "overly-emotional" or is he just being an inconsederate jerk?

My daughter is almost 18 and she is about 30-40 pounds overweight. She has always been a bigger girl, she looked athletic. She complains about her size, but wants me to take her to a "fat" Dr., buy her a miracle diet pill, or take her to get liposuction. I said absolutely not on all requests like that. She won't make an effort - andher weight is getting out of control. Her clothes don't fit good. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I need help with how to tell her she has to lose weight, and in the meantime, she needs to get some bigger clothes. Suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I am a single mom with only one little girl. I finally got her into her own room. We did a lot of things together to make her room special. So now I find myself checking on her all the time and I can't sleep. I want to pick her up and put her back in my bed. I know that is wrong but I miss my baby.

I joined the convent when I was 18, right out of high school. I thought being a nun would be great. the real reason I joined was because I thought the bishop of our diacease was so cute. He was there at my confirmation when I was 16.

From that moment on I dreamed of having sex with him. I knew the only way to get close to him was by joining the convent.

It worked I saw the bishop at least three four times a week. he was all I could think about. I would lay in bed at night and finger myself till I came.

I needed more, so one night I went to his house to visit him. I took off my coat and I was wearing a black silky see threw nitey...

as he was looking at me, out walked another man who was naked, and yelling come on bishop I am not going to stay hard all night long.... the bishop had a boyfriend. we ended up having a threesome. now I am pregnant. and i dont know which bishop is the father.

neither of them will leave the church and marry me. Should I stay in convent?

He can understand about anything I ask him to do. He talked more when he was 8-12 months he said MaMa PaPa,BaBa, Sissy,NaNa ect he says none of that now. The only thing he will say now, is Hello, Who is it? when the phone rings. My mom says not to worry but I am.

They have 16 children from ages 2 to 17. They seem to have an amazing life, their mom is awesome and everyone is happy...I watche dthis show a while back and it really inspired me to have more than one kid. The thing is I think my man wants more kids for the worng reasons, like being able to have sex without condoms (yes Im serious) I think he is way to immature to be a father to more than one kid. About 9 months of the year in total he is not home, away at work.
I dont know, what do you think?
And how many kids do you have? Are you happy or do you wish your life was different?

My girlfriend has a pretty regular cycle...about every 26-31 days. However, it is day 36 and she still does not have a period. We had sex 4 times last month and used a condom every time. I also pulled out before I orgasmed every time. There was no slippage or accidents...atleast ones that we could tell.

Both of us have been very stressed about the possibility of pregnancy....we are both only 18. However...could the stress be making her this late? I have heard numerous women talk about how late their periods have been just because they were frightened of pregancy. Others tell me that stress only block ovulation and that it has no direct effect towards menstrual flow.

She is getting normal, period-like cramps. She does not feel any different than usual. She has no nausea, dizziness, headaches, soar breasts, or anything else associated with pregnancy. She has never been this late before....the latest she has ever been before now was Day 35. How much can stress affect her cycle?
