Pregnancy & Parenting - 17 October 2006

I went back to work 4 months ago after being a stay at home mom. I have been home with my children since they were born. I'm still having a hard time dropping them off at their grandma's. It hurts me to see them cry when I leave. When does it get easier to be away from your kids? Does it ever hurt less?

hi i'm 20 years old and i have a 10 month old baby. I Recently had a miscariage at 3 months that i did not expect so i had a d&c done.
And just a couple weeks ago my doctor found that I had a cyst on my left ovary which did disapear a week ago.for the past 2 months I've had my periods both which are at the end of the month. In the begining of this month I have had sex.but my husband pulls out all the time and i am aware that you CAN get pregnant that way. Just The Other day I went to the bathroom and i was spotting. It only lasted 20 mins and it hasnt come back.And my period starts at the end of this month
So my question is...Was I spotting beacause my body hasn't healed,,or because i am ovulating now..OR because I may be pregnant. I'm Just confused. I hope you guys can help. Thank you

My teen daughter sneaks out just about every night to go to parties and have sex. She doesn't tell me about it but ive seen her e-mails with my parental controls and heard her on the phone. I tried talking to her but then she started cutting herself! I asked her friends if they noticed a change in her behavior and they said your daughter went "emo" and there's no changing that. What does that mean? I've taken her to therapy but she just sits there biting her nails for an hour and doesn't say a word to her therapist. She's rebelious and out of control. Next thing I know she'll be pregnant by 15! Help me!

i am on birth control and i have had a boyfriend of two years, so when we have sex we dont use a comdom. about a week ago we had sex the whole week before my period and when i was on my period. i take my birth control religiously beause i know that i am not ready for a child. my boyfriend is in the marines and he is leaving for iraq in January for a whole year, so we would both be heartbroken if i ended up pregnant right now. My boyfriend left me about a week ago to go back to north carolina where he is stationed, and for about 5 days now i have been having what feels like menstral cramping in my lower stomach and also in my back. i have also noticed some light blood when i wipe. it isnt pink, it is really dark and thick. i have been looking up the symptoms of both pregnancy and miscarriage, but i really have no idea to tell which has happened to me, or even what has happened at all since im on BC. and since i just had my period i cant get a pregnancy test done for another few weeks.

My daughter is turning 2 on Halloween and still loves her crib. We haven't even moved it down from the high level yet. She hasn't tried to get out of it, though easily could if she wanted to. She's a great sleeper and I don't want to disrupt that, but I also don't want her to stay in a crib forever. Advice?

I went to the er last tuesday because i wasn't feeling well after the doctor gave me my rx the nurse peeked in and said by the way your test results came back positve. what test results ??? I asked ..... your pregnant the nurse replied..... I didnt believe her but im now positive three test later. Im 20 years old and have a full time job and am going to collage part time ...My boyfriend also has a fulltime job he is 27.. The problem is six months ago he got me pregnant and when i told my mom she pressured me into having an abortion and i deeply regret doing that and promised myself never to do that again. I used birth control for the first three months but stoped taking it because of complications. i'm soo scared and I need someone to talk to but if i tell my mom she will make it seem like im ruining my life. i just wish she would support me like my boyfriends mom does...... any advice about any of this please???

I have a few questions for you..

My husband and I have been TTC for 7 months now. When did you decide you needed medical assistance to help you get pregnant?

How did you come up with the money to pay for fertility treatments/ doctor’s and how much roughly did your fertility treatment cost all together?

Were you successful in getting pregnant?

How many of you found out that the problem was actually due to your husband? Were they able to fix the problem?

What was the successful method for you?

Anything else you wouldn’t mind sharing would be great!!! Thanks!!!

when was your baby's heartbeat detected? i'm roughly 12 weeks and on the slender side, have had no problems with my pregnancy, everything feels "normal" to the ob-gyn, but they can't find the heartbeat. they tried for 15-20 mins but couldn't detect anything. when did everyone else hear theirs for the first time?

OK-please give me a break. I'm getting ready to pull my hair out. My 1 month old son leaks through his diaper and clothes at least 3 times a day if not more. I've tried different brands and different diaper sizes. I've had my sister, mom, friends, his dad and even his sister put his diaper on him. I was thinking it was just me who couldn't diaper him right. He leaks no matter how you diaper him. Can you use puppy pads under a baby or are the pads harmful or poisonous to humans? I can't find the hospital type pads anywhere.

asked a question before about my baby moving a lot and somebody else posted another question about it because of an answer I got that I didnt like. I really appreciate that some of you understand and give me good advises. I asked the question ONCE so I dont know why some people say i keep asking the same thing, I asked my dr about it but wanted the opinion of moms who experienced the same. This is my first pregnancy and I dont think its a problem or waste of time that I worry about it, Im human and its my baby Im worrying about, Im not just sitting around thinking about it either it is very exciting to me feel my baby move but yet I do think its normal AND NOT A WASTE OF TIME to have worries. there are lots of good people with good advises and know how a first time pregnancy be so I will keep asking questions and Thanks Melyssa and those of you that always help me http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiPDl.vJKRi21HrTmexTkw_zy6IX?qid=20061017101453AAdqkTH

I really want to start trying for a second child I already have a 1 year old girl, but I am worried because they would ahve to share a room and I don't know how I would fit everything in, and whether they would like it and also what if it's a boy, how long can a boy and a girl share a room before it becomes innapropriate?
I really don't want to move as I really love the place I am at and the rent is cheap, it is the best area for miles around to bring up kids and I am so lucky to have got it.

I don't want kids right now. But in February of 2004 I had surgery and my doctor said that I may not be able to have kids. Can I go to a doctor to find out? How can I figure this out without trying to get pregnant right now?

For those who answered my question 3 weeks ago or so, i had asked if a guy can nut in a girl 5 days after the girl's period. everyone said that was stupid and i don't know what. well i got news for everyone. the 5day theory is true and accurate. my girl did not get pregnant.

I am 5 mos. and just found out that I’m having a boy. Every name I have chosen my boyfriend dislikes and every name he has chosen I HATE. I picked a name that I refuse to change. So, I told him he could pick the middle name and I will pick the first name since I am the one carrying and delivering our baby I get first dibs on the name and if we have another child he can pick their name. Is this unfair? And did anyone else have this problem and worked it out so that you are both happy? Thanx in advance.

I made a stupid decision to have sex without being on birth control. During sex, the condom slipped off. We are not sure what contact occured or how long it had been off. I had finished my period about a week or so before this. Should i be worried about becoming pregnant?
