Pregnancy & Parenting - 10 October 2006

Well actually the following story proves a man could have a baby. . Until Lia Tharby finally gave birth, doctors did not know what was going on inside her body. If they had, they would have advised terminating her pregnancy. But test after test failed to show that the fetus was growing outside her uterus, a condition so rare only four similar births have been documented worldwide. The situation is extremely risky, endangering the lives of both mother and baby because of the great potential for complications. On April 30, Ms. Tharby gave birth to her daughter, Emylea, at 33 weeks. It was only during the vertical caesarean section that doctors discovered the umbilical cord was attached to the outside of the uterus. Emylea had grown in her mother's abdominal cavity, her skull flattened slightly from butting Ms. Tharby's liver. The baby's survival, while being described as miraculous, also lends credibility to a theory almost universally relegated to the realm of science fiction: that any human, woman or man, can give birth.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant now. My doctor ordered another ultrasound last week. I went and they changed my due date agian. It used to be Nov. 20 and now it is Nov. 14. I heard it was very unnormal that they would change the due date so late in the pregnancy. Has this ever happened to anyone???

About three weeks ago i got a UTI infection, it was my first UTI infection ever. I got medicine and it went away. The doctor said it could have been something to do with my eating habits changing because i just moved into a new enviroment.. aka college. I am only having sex with one other boy, and we have been dating for over a year.... and we were both virgins. Now i think that i have a yeast infection, well i dont really think i do... i'm pretty sure... I have also never develpoed a yeast infection before either, so it seems strange that all of this is happening at once...

I am on birth control and i always get my period on tuesday... today is tuesday and i haven't started bleeding. Do UTI's and yeast infections have to do with being pregnant? Should i wait another day?

My 21 week old DD has started moaning (almost like a complaint under her breath) recently. She doesnt cry much but she is moaning more and more often. She also sucks on her bottom lip most of the time. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a 19 month old daughter and I want to make sure I am not crazy!! Did any other parents experience terrible anxiety about something bad happending to their kids and if so how did you get over it. I am so afraid that something will happen to my daughter that I cannot bring myself to leave her in day care or let anyone besides my mom keep her. I will picture someone hurting her physically/sexually/emotionally and I will have a mini-anxiety attack and cannot put her in day care!!!! How can I cope with this and let go a little? It feels so hard for me to trust ANYONE else with my child, even the church nursery workers.....I have never felt like this until I became a mother. Is this abnormal? If my mom is sick and cannot watch my daughter I call in sick to work because I am so scared to leave her at mothers day out or day care. My mom may have to lessen the time she can watch her and I will be forced to find public day care. Advice please

My daughter is showing all the signs of being ready to be potty trained but she won't use the potty. We have been working on it for almost two months and there has been no progress. She is only 21mo old but I did not start trying until she sat on her potty on her own and peed. Can anyone help me?

was thinking about painting the entire interior of my house by myself (with my wife's help). We HATE painting and to do two walls it took us one whole day!

We have a 3 bedroom house with vaulted ceilings, so it is going to take at least 4 weekends. The problem is my wife and I want to try for our first baby in January, and with the holidays and vacations, we don't have the time or energy to paint the house in less than 3 months. I don't want to paint when she gets pregnant, so it needs to be done asap.

My friend (a painter) offered to paint my house. I will supply him wth all the paint and stuff and he will bring 2 of his co-workers (all painters) and have it done in one weekend.

Should I just pay my friend $800 to paint our house interior? Should I just bite the bullet and pay the money so we don't have to stress over it?

My son likes to line things up, like 10-15 cars in a row, he has done this since he was old enough to walk (about 1yr) now my aunt told me that this can be a sign of something mentally wrong with him, he is normal in all aspects and in some he is advanced. Has anyone had experience with this, good or bad.

I'm new to this yahoo answers, but I thought maybe you could help me. Please, this is my last resort so can you give helpful answers??

My 15 year old son just recently got suspended for .. a whole bunch of things, can't even count. THis is his second suspension, and only 2 months of school passed!! I've tried everything, my husband and I have talked to him, he's talked to guidance counselors, and on. I think I give him enough space, he's allowed to go out sometimes, and has a lot of freedom. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, or why he's like this?? HElp, I believe I really tried everything and I don't want him causing any more trouble than he's already caused.

I feel so guilty!
I'm 31 weeks pregnant and fed up. I feel so guily as I tried for years to have this baby

I took maternity leave at 29 weeks but I'm so bored stuck at home all day!!!!! Plus we are REALLY struggling for money now that my wage has gone. Won't be able to think about returning to work (and will need to find another job) until March.

Can't afford to go out and do anything. Can't drive as my car is on the fritz. Used to live a very busy life (work 40 hrs a week, took 6 hours of dance classes and music lessons, always on the go) but now all I do is get up, eat, walk the dogs, watch telly, play about online, go to bed, sleep, get up etc.

I feel so fed up. So isolated and lonely. I'm even looking forward to ante natal classes each week as they let me get out of the house for a couple of hours!

I love my baby so much and am looking forward to him being here -

Does it get better?? Is this normal?? I hate my life right now! I feel so down!

Before I got pregnant, I was bang on 28 days every month. I had my baby 18 months ago and breast fed for 10 months. I din't have a period for the whole time I was breast feeding but started the day after I gave up (give me a break please). Since then my periods have been all over the place - 39 days, 36 days, 25 days. I want to get pregnant again but I can't work out when I'll be ovulating. Is this something I should see a doctor about? I keep hearing about Clomid and I wonder if that might help. Grateful for advice.

How long can sperm live outside of the male body? I think it's like 7 days if it is in the vagina?!?! But what about if it's like on a towel or something? Thanks, I know this is a weird question.
