Before she turned 6 months, my baby slept well in a peg perego "sleeping bag" that came with her stroller. Now that she's bigger, I'm looking for alternative products to help her sleep well through the night. Any recommendations?

I have a daughter with a terminal illness. Want to have another baby so she can meet her brother or sister and vice versa before the inevitable happens. Everyone keeps putting us off because my daughter is hard work and they think she deserves one to one care. What do you think? Would you? I know i shouldn't be asking real serious questions like this on here but would just like an outsiders opinion. Thanks xxx

I need games to keep them busy I will only know 3 or 4 of the kids. I babysat last year for them but it wasn't planned and it was very hard and they were out of control. They were very energetic but I have to keep them under control. Most likely I will be babysitting alone. I might bring a friend but first I have to find one who is good with kids! Any Ideas?

I am 24 years old and 6 weeks pregnant. My husband and I found out after only being married for one week. It has ended our newly wed bliss... to say the least. Years ago we made a pact that we would buy a house, before we had children. Although this wasn't part of our original plan, I still don't want to have an abortion. At this point, he barely talks to me. I feel so alone, and I'm scared that this will ruin my marriage. I'm not sure what to do.

My son asked me if I could buy him tighty whiteys instead of boxers as I have since he was 7 years old. Do you think I should? Will the kids at school make fun of him?

How accurate are ultrasound gender predictions? Has anybody had different results - like girl if boy has been predicted or vice versa?

I am 24 weeks pregnant and the technician who did my 19 week ultrasound told me that I was carrying a baby girl. Now it took the technician a very long time to find this out as the baby had crossed its legs and was refusing to change its position. After making me walk around and changing my position, She announced tht it was a girl without any explaination and finished the ultrasound and walked off.

I am now so curious abt the accuracy of the gender. I really wish she had shown me the ultrasound screen and explained to me why she thot I was carrying a girl... can she be wrong and I am carrying a boy?

PS: All my symptoms say that I have a boy and there hasnt been a girl in my family since last 33 years.

I was supposed to get my period 2 days ago (on the 14th). I had ovulated on the 29th. I know this because I usually get ovulation bleeding midway into my cycle. I have been feeling all the symptoms of PMS but I haven't actually gotten my period yet. I am usually very regular too, I am freaking out. I can't get a pregnancy test because my parents can't find out about this, and they will if I go and buy one.

I ovulated on september 2nd, was with this guy from september 8th-12th, and although we never engaged in sexual intercourse, we were in a jacuzzi together. I had a swim suit on, and I was wondering if sperm can swim through the water into you? Also, although he fingered me (and might have had some precum on them) he never went INSIDE my vagina, just the outside. I got my period 3 days after this visit. (this was last month)

So, can I still be preganant?? VERY WORRIED!!!

I have told my daughter continuously that she must wipe front to back and BETTER when she goes #2. But I am still finding stains on her underwear when I do the laundry. Stains so bad it looks like they are the stains that should be on the toilet paper. She has gotten rashes before, however nothing so severe. But I am concerned for her health. She doesn't complain of any pain, but I want to give her a reason that she will remember. Is that possible at her age or do I just have to remind her every day until it becomes habit? Help..thank you.

I just turned 14 (3 days ago) and ever since I have been a teenager... I have expeirenced, sneaking out of my house,my grades went down, drinking, smoking and all kinds of things. I had just moved to a new town 2 months before my 13th b-day and poepel didnt really like me. They judged me and were realy mean to me. And I hated it. I have been talking back to my mom, anad I cant help it. The workds just come out. Could the fact that poepel were mean to me be part of the behaviour? Or is it just normal stuff that teens go trough? I also think I might have Bi-polar disorder.. But my mom said that the way I acted is becasue Im a teenager and things are changing.. but i dont know if thats really it or if i really have it. But anyway.. I was just wondering if I was a normal teenager..

Sorry for the stupid question.. I just dont want ot be different, I want poeple to liek me, but they dont they just judged me right away.. and I started going through things and I didnt know if it was normal.

would you prefer I say something, or if they're not my child should I always stay out of it? For example; what is acceptable, I dont understand why I feel I should possibly stay out of it
