(I posted this eariler this morning received few answers)

I had an "elective ultrasound" a few days ago. Much to the tech's suprise... and my own... As big as my son is he is still very much in the breech postion. His head his up in my ribs and his legs are folded upwards with his feet right in his face. I am 32 weeks and I know I still have time for him to move in the proper position, but I can't help but think as big as he is now that it will only become harder for him to move his entire body 180 degrees.

Are there any ways to encourge him to start moving his head down towards my pelvic area? Any excercises I can do?

At what time do babies normally move in to that postion?

I was very fortunate with my first child, as he was in postion by the time I was 30 weeks, and he was a very big baby.

In the pregnancy section, I see a LOT of questions from teens about "Am I pregnant". I'm just curious, it seems like a lot of these girls are not wanting a baby right now. If so, why are you not using birth control?

My boyfriend said to me today that I have been really mean to him lately. This is something I only notice when he points it out other then that I really don't even notice. I feel terribly about it and apologized but that fact that I didn't even know I was doing it scares me. So here's the question...I am six months pregnant could this have any affect on how I been treating him? Is it just all the emotions and tired of being pregnant getting to me or what?

the problem is his mom does not like my daugher (even though they have never met) everytime she calls his house his mom says that he is not home or can't come to the phone.. his mom has made it obvious that she does not want my daughter seeing him (he is 15) their dates consist of group movies or group swimming etc. Never have they been together by themselves.. I know my daugher really likes this kid and is upset that his mom lies to her about where he is. What can I do. Call the mom? my daughter is a good mature kid. I can understand his mom not wanting them to date..but to lie thats not right. Any suggestions

I'm hosting a Fear Factor-esque party for a group of 9-12 year-olds. I don't want anything that will make them sick or anything ultra messy. Does anybody have any ideas for tasks they could perform?

I had taken 2 pregnancy tests, 1 the day before i was due for my period and it was positive, and another the day after i was due for it, and it was also positive. I experienced dark brown blood spot the day before the due period, and then a tiny bit more dark brown blood the day i was due. When i was 1 day late, there was no blood of any kind, and then the next day i started to bleed kind of like a normal period. I guess what im askin is, is it possible to bleed like this and still be pregnant, or am i definately miscarrying already??

Please I would like to hear from people this could have happened to or people who have a decent opinion.

And for those of you out there who just feel the need to right cruel things in the answers, i dont need you to, nor did i make you open this question, let alone answer it in any way, so please just stay out of it!

I am a stay at home mom. My husband works 50+ hrs. a week. I can't get a job because I don't have a car, and since I don't have a car, I don't have a job so I can't afford to buy one. I feel like a prisoner of my home and am at my witts end with being around children all the time (no family that can help with that, and a husband who don't like to take me out much, unless it's grocery shopping..woohoo) It has been like this for over 2 years now and I know that I am severely depressed, also on the verge of being an alcoholic (I don't get drunk when I am taking care of my kids, just everynight when they are asleep and my husband is home) I feel like my hands are tied behind my back, and I can't escape the menotony (spelling). I could take a bus to work, but I don't have anyone to watch my children and can't afford childcare anyways (Ive looked into it, it would take up the majority of my earning capabilities). Suggestions?

I lost the instruction book and cannot get the straps re inserted where I can adjust it to the right size. Does anyone know of an online owners maunal or a way to request a new instruction book. It would be so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read and answer this.

to give birth without medical intervention? And no, I don't mean out in a field or in the woods.
I'm curious because I feel alot of answers on here are reccomending women have cesarians and epidurals and episiotomies as routine practices.
Are there women on here that have been / would be comfortable just giving birth the natural way - no meds, no cuts, no injections - unless there was a legitimate problem?

Why or why not?

He has lived a hard life with his father being an alocholic and his mother on drugs. He is a good kid at heart but he has a few rough patches. Of course, I do not expect him to change over night. I just need some guidance on how to parent him. I am only 21 years old; my husband is 23 and we have a small child that is almost 2. We are responsible and grown up for the most part. That is not the problem. He is in the stage of girls and from his past experiences, he thinks drugs and drinking are cool. How do I discipline him without being too hard? I have mastered the two year old but its a really big jump from 2 to 15. The two are totally different. He also has stopped going to school (which was something that happened BEFORE he came to live with us) and now he doesn't want to return. We have talked of homeschooling and he is excited about it. How do I get him up on the right path again?
