Pregnancy & Parenting - 11 October 2006

My son will be 1 at the end of Jan. I want to get preggers at the end of Dec. Is that to soon to be wanting another? I know alot of people wait & alot don't. But what do you think? Do you think that takes away from my son to add another child to the mix when he's still so young? or do you think that it promotes my children to be friends as well as siblings? My brother is 9 years older then me. He's more like a dad sometimes! my step-son is 16 way older then my son. (my husband had a kid in highschool) I am only 26.
I just need som help making my mind up to wait for another baby or to go on as planned. Thanks

I'm 26 weeks pregnant with a baby boy. I think my boyfriend wants to name him James Stott Jr. after him. That would be fine by me but here is the deal. My dad and my brother are both named James. I'm afraid if I name my baby James it will confuse him when he gets older because there are so many named James in the family. Any ideas?

Okay I'm a fairly easy going mum, I do however set rules and I make my children do chores ... my kids are 11,9 and 8.

But my Eldest and Youngest have a HUGE problem with being told what to do, or being given punishments, yep mostly normal of no I'm not doing it, what you gonna do about it etc.

Now I think I am probably the problem becuae they do not do this to my husband, but I kinda feel they control me rather than vice versa.

Example .. my eldest has a huge temper problem, and recently severed his tendons in his wrist because he punched a glass door in temper .. now I have tried everything, I have social services involved to try and help him, I have a youth program involved to try and help him, I set him rules, I give him punishments, usually grounding (doesn't work) or removing items from his room, but he isn't bothered about anything at all.

anyone else going through similar and can give some suggestions?

I am sorry if this question offends anyone, I do not mean to be rude at all, I am just too embarassed to ask anyone, even my GP. The thing is I am a single mother of one and last week I walked into my daughters bedroom and saw her rubbing her private area furiously. When I asked her what it was she was doing she told me she was rubbing herself because it felt nice. To say I was shocked is an understatment and I dont know what to do. I thought it was something teenage boys got up to and although I know it is a natural thing to do, I'm a little disturbed about her doing it at this young age and I cannot imagine how she discovered what she is doing. Is this normal? What is the normal age to begin doing this? How did she learn it and what should I do? Please help.

How accurate are ultrasounds in the 6 week to 16 week period? Are the earliest the most accurate, and are they still off by a few days. I need very accurate, and experienced by moms answers only, please.

I've read several questions on here about people wanting to get pregnant--on purpose--then reaping out for Medicaid. Is it just me or is this a cop out? Why would someone want to get on Medicaid? If a person couldn't afford insurance; how would they support and afford a child?

I understand there are plenty of people out there who need help. I'm all for that--getting on government assistance when needed--but going on it just because "it's there"--I don't understand.

I am a young mother of 5 year old boy and girl twins, Josh and Kylie, and 13 month old Brandon. The problems started when the twins were born. Kylie was born small, and there for she was sick a lot. When she would get sick she cried uncontrolably, My husband and I held her to comfort her. This ment less time we spent with Josh. As she grew, Kylie developed severe seperation anxiety and began to cling to me all the time. When the twins began school, we got them into after school activites, Kylie takes dance, and Josh is involved in sports. At practice, Josh's coach asks for parents to get involved. I tried but because Kylie would not stop clinging, it was nearily impossible. She refuses to stay with a sitter or with any family member. It has gotton worse since Brandon was born. She reverted back to baby like behaviors, thus demanding more of my husbands and my time and attention. Add that with the typical demands of raisng an infant. This has made Josh feel very left out.

My husband and I love the name Lily, and would love to use it for our first daughter. I always wanted to use my sister's name as a middle name for my first daughter, as well, however, I don't think it flows with Lily very well. Her name is Christina.
So our first daughter would be Lily Christina.

Does this sound weird, and does it flow well together.....I'm not sure if I like it or not. Please give me suggestions. Thanks!

last period was sept.16..so ovulation ends around the time we started. i calculated the chance of one unprotected sex from a website and it said 5%. i took that number and asked my stats teacher to calculate based on 5% chance and 25 tries. number that came up was 36%. does that sound right?

thing is we used protection everytime..but first we don't then we use it halfway done. i've read bout the pre-***/pregnancy stuff.

I have taken those ovulation tests every single day, starting 5 days after my period for like 3 weeks, every single day. Not one day shows I am ovulating. That happened last month too, but I got my period. What is going on? I know I can get my period and not ovulate, I read that on Americanpregnancy.org but is that what is going on?

I was in school with my friend, we where talking about boys, then she told me that her brother asked her things about me because he likes me, and that he wants to meet me, but then she laughed and told me that he must masturbate thinking about me because he thinks I am hot too, and that made me MAD, the pervert!!!
I saw him in the lunch line, walked to him and asked him, he said nothing just blushed, that was a yes to me so I kicked him in the balls, he made this surprised face then slowly doubled over to his knees and then fell to the side and turned pale. All the girls cheered and laughed at him, the boys just stared. I bet he will not do it again, serves him right.
The next day she told me that he needed to go to the ER that night, and that he is taking some pills. Oh well, that’s not my problem, he had that coming.
Now when his friends look at me they seemed to be angry, what the hell is wrong with them, maybe they need a good kick too?
