THE BABY IS NOT HERE YET AND I'M ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER. SHE IS RUDE AND HAS MISSED SEVERAL APPOINTMENTS WITH ME. HER WHOLE FAMILY AND THE BIOLOGICAL FATHERS FAMILY ALL LIVE IN THE SAME VERY SMALL TOWN AS I DO. THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER IS IN PRISON FOR A VIOLENT CRIME. AFTER HIS TIME IS SERVED HE TOO WILL BE IN THE SAME TOWN. I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS. I HAVE ONE CHILD, BUT I ALMOST DIED GIVING BIRTH TO HIM SO MY HUSBAND HAD A VASECTOMY. I LOVE MY CHILD MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK HIS SAFETY. MY HUSBAND THINKS WE WILL HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. THE BIOLOGICAL MOTHER IS ROUGH TO SAY THE LEAST. I'M VERY TORN. I WANT TO GIVE THIS CHILD A HOME BUT I'M NOT SURE I'M MAKING THE BEST CHOICE. I HAVE A LAWYER SO EVERY THING WOULD BE LEGALLY DONE, BUT WHAT IF??????

I change my lil girl every 3 hours or so! But at night Im unable to change her because we just sleep! She usually sleeps from 9pm-9am then up for a feeding and change. Now she has a really bad diaper rash. I have a perscription the doc gave me, and Im using that. But what Im asking is, should I set my alarm for the middle of the night to change her? Or get different diapers? What about baby powder? Thanks in advance!

p.s. please no rude comments! thank you

Will your gut tell you if your pregnant? I have a lot of symptoms but sometimes I feel like I am and sometimes I feel like I'm not. If I am will my instinct tell me? I have taken test but they're negative but I've been having symptoms for like a week but I'd only be 3 weeks along...

We dont have a lot of money and we bought our son a $100 dollar matress from Ikea. Now its time to buy our other son a matress and we still dont have much money to spend. This morning I tried to lie down on it to see if we should do the same for number 2 and it was so uncomfy to lie on. My husband says it doesnt matter because hes so light. Did anyone else have this problem? What should I do?

I am considering a job that includes some travel, probably 3x a month. I have 2 small children, 1 & 3.
My husband is totally supportive and completely involved and wonderful. My folks are very helpful too and we have babysitting covered.
This is a great opportunity for me and a great long term job with lots of advancement.
Do any moms travel and hate it?
do any moms travel and love it?

I need help with this decision.
Thank you

But it breaks my heart to see some of the tragic things done against children. This mornings news had a story about a woman who used her 4 week old baby as a weapon to beat her boyfriend. Then they charged her with petty charges.... If you ask me she should have been charged with attempted murder. How do you deal with these stories?


ERIE, Pa. -- A woman used her 4-week-old baby as a weapon in a domestic dispute, swinging the infant through the air and striking her boyfriend with the child, authorities said."The baby was swung at the individual that she was arguing with," Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie said.The baby was critically injured in the attack early Sunday, said District Attorney Bradley Foulk.Never, never, never. I can never remember anything like this," Foulk told the Erie Times-News.Chytoria Graham, 27, of Erie, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment and simple assault. She was held Monday in the Erie County Jail in lieu of $75,000 bai

lady was at dr. office she told him she thought she was leaking fluid. He never tested her. She went on to work and then a big gush came. She went back to the dr. office and then he tested her and said her water did break. He told her to go to the hospital. She did on her own and when she got to the hospital they let her sit 3 hours before doing anything. At that time she used the restroom to find out her cord had prolapsed. What should they have done to prevented her from going into labor, and stopping the baby from coming early.

My little one just turned 4 and has untreated plagio. His doctor told me when he was little that his head would round out on it's own in time. He now has a slight flat spot on the right side of his head and his ears are a little off. He doesn't have the bulging on the forehead like other plagio kids do. No one ever notices it..I think I'm the olny one that worries. I guess I feel a little quilty for not doing more to help it when he was a baby. I didn't know that banding or a helmet was an option at that time. I guess what I want to know is how does it affect your child as they get older? Is it an issue in school? As his hair gets longer and thicker, will it help to cover it up? Any help would be great...thank you :-)

my son is 8 months old and is still not sitting up!? he goes on his stomach and will roll over from front to back but as far as sitting up, he has no desire too. My daughter sat up at 5 and a half months. I know every child is different but isn't 8 months late? When i try to sit him up and let go, he will balance himself for 5 to 30 seconds and then fall either to the side or straight forward. Help!! I even got him the bumba seat to help him!!
