Is it true that you could lose a tooth or end up with cavities? And if yes how do I help prevent it.And- Is it true that if you nurse that your boobs can sag? How do you prevent that if it is true?
Thanks

i ask this because yesterday, my 5 month old daughter learned how to slide out of her Bebe Pod: she pushed herself with her feet to arch her back, leaned over her right side and fell on her side on the carpet! i was next to her and she didn't hurt herself (but she could have)
isn't this contraption suposed to be safe for babies up to 12 months of age?

I am TTC my second and I'm pretty certain I won't have much trouble doing so...My daughter was concieved within 3 weeks...
I want to think of a creative way of telling my parents and in-laws. If/When I get pregnant.
Any ideas?

P.S. My in-laws know I'm TTC and my sister does too. But I haven't told my parents...They're kind of not into that type of public announcement.

moms more so than hitched ones?
I have noticed alot of people look down on single moms, which I think is stupid, singles moms get more **** than the dads who left their kids or dont pay any childsupport.

Because my periods are messed up, sometimes they come every 30 days 28 days or 64 days. My past 3 periods have been way off, I dont even know when Im ovulating. And in the past 4 months no signs of pregnancy and we always have unprotected sex and we are both healthy and young. My husband and I usually have sex every night but the past 2 weeks we have been having sex every 2 or 3 days so more sperm can build up, to increase our chances. I really need some advise on how to get pregnant, when Im ovulating? Or has this ever happened to any women out there. Honestly Im not in rush to get pregnant, but I just want to know what is up with my body and why are my periods so irregular. What should I do! Or is there nothing to do? Any simillar stories or advise. (serious people only)

I stopped taking birth control about a month ago (can't exactly remember when - been very busy). Now I think it is time for my period. The issue is I have had PMS symptoms for over a week and some have been extreme (like tender breast, cramping, mood swings). I have had sex with my husband (some protected, some not) since going off the pill. Is this just my body getting used to being off the pill or could I be prego?

The only problem I have is that the names rhyme.

We like these names because Molly and Emily are names that my mother said when we asked her advice. Also, we each picked one of the middle names for them. Also my mother-in-law likes the names Casey and Corinne.

I feel that the names Emily Corinne and Summer Jane would please everyone, and they are names that wont scar the girls for life.

My husband and I have decided to not tell our friends we are pregnat until after our first doc visit. (Which isn't until the end of Nov) and one of my best girl friends is coming to stay with us this weekend. We always go out when we are together, and living in a small town there isn't much else to do. My husband doesn't understand that girls sometimes "just know" Especially one as close as her! I know that she will know!

I went to my doc yesterday at 1:30 and she said I was dilated to a good 4 and 80%. She was convinced I would go into labor within the next two days. Yet I'm worried because I have been bleeding for 3 days now and still no labor. Has anyone else experienced this. Also if my water doesn't break will they break it for me.

I had abortion 15 days ago (at that time I was 5 wks gestation). The doctor told us to abstain until 2 wks later, but my hubby and I had unprotected sex 12 days after abortion. To avoid new pregnancy, he didn't ejaculate inside me.

While we're already feeling very upset for the early-sex thing, some new info threw me into an even bigger panic. According to a medical website (which seems quite official), pregnancy is very possible in exactly the same situation we had gone through.

I am so scared. Could someone please please tell me
1) could the second pregnancy, if it did happen, be detected tomorrow (when I'll have my first post-abortion check-up)?
2) could I have a second abortion lately (I really feel myself unprepared for children)?
3) if I did have two consecutive abortions performed, would I still be able to have kids later?

Many thanks in advance!

Okay first I'm 14 and I'm 1&1/2 months pregnant by this 20 yr old guy and we've been dating for a while now but only I'm pregnant.My family basically went crazy and my aunt that I used to live with is trying to make me get an abortion my best~friend is telling me I'm stupid and to just get the abortion b/c I told her that I think I'm going to keep it.My boyfriend that got me pregnant wants me to keep it and says he has a job so he would be able to take care of it.At first before everyone found out and it was just me and my aunt that I was living with at the time knew I was going to get the abortion just because nobody really expected this especially from me and nobody knew.But then me and my aunt got into it once and she told the whole family including the #1 person I didn't want to know -my dad-.Well I'm in another state living w/ my dad and his family and my boyfriend's mad b/c I left and I just been having second thoughts about him taking care of the baby.What shall I do?Abt. or not

Let me start by saying that both my Mother-in-Law (MIL) and I are Catholic. I allow my MIL to worship in her way but I expect that she allow me to worship in my way. For example, she makes us take communion from her (eucharistic minister) if we don't attend church on Sunday.

My MIL often does things that I disagree with in terms of the raising/influencing of my 13 month old. My MIL has a miniature Jesus "doll" in her kitchen that she makes my daughter kiss every time she walks into the kitchen. Additionally, she wears a crucifix around her neck and has my daugther kiss it every time she picks her up. She has insisted to me that my daughter (and any other children that I have) MUST go to Catholic school because her children did and that is the "right" thing to do. I am concerned about having more children at this point because I don't know how to communicate to my MIL that I don't want her to continue to do the things that she is doing in terms of religion with my daughter.

Help

They used to have a Sesame Street Magazine that you could sign up for and every week they'd send your child a magazine with lots of things for them in it. Do they still have that?

moms, I'm a mom myself and I bought this thing to iron onto my two girls shirts. I did it according to the instruction and when I peeled it off, only part of it sticked to the shirt and the other half didn't. I wanted to try it a gain, my question is how do I get the part that sticked to the shirt to come off. It's really hard to take off, I don't know what to do.

if you had to giv your 14 year old son a magazine,which of these two[types] would you rate worst and not give him[remember its just a q you have to anwer which you would rathr your 14 year old son having]
A: 'Lads Mags'' such as FHM,Nuts,Maxim,Loaded,ZOO,they all print semi nudity[just breasts,no gentials]
B:Playboy[full nudity,but softcore]

my argument is that a is worse,as these magaines just objectife women ,while playboy [most of the time] glorises them.
what you guys think?
