I have a close friend that is living in an apartment with her 2 daugthers & her husband, but she made the contract as separated & she is in the housing program... She has being living like that for almost 2 years, her husband work at nigth but sometime durign the day.. Since I'm about to move to an apartment she told me to do the same thing at least for a year to lower the rent payment... But isn't this called cheatting besides what if the managers from the apartment find out that my hubby is living in the same apartment with us I have a boy & a girl & I'm 5 months pregnant.... Will managers from the apartments check who lives with you or how does it work I don;t have any experience in this... But I would not like to be cougt... Any suggestions I rather be honest & see if we as cople can qualify !!!!

i asked my doctor and she said they wherent anything to be worried about. i have read all my pamplets and i know in a few months i could experience braxton hicks but according to the pamplets its to early for the cramps to be them. i had a ultrasound last week and the baby looked fine and had a nice steady strong heartbeat but this is my first child and i just feel concerned about the how often i feel crampy down there.

My son's 2nd birthday is coming up and I want to think of a fun activity. We don't have a yard, only a small (brick) back patio. There will only be a few kids there and they will range in age from 2-4. We thought about renting an Elmo impersonator, but it was really expensive. Any fun ideas with limited space???

Here is the situation a few years ago me and my husband had started trying for a family until I found out that i had pcos and two blocked tubes and my husband as well had a low sperm count .We considered our options and decide to trust in God. To get to the point my period surprised me last month it was very dark in color and i had no cramps whatsoever and did not even know it had come on had i not went to the rest room; it did not get that much heaviereither and stop off early. Now this month it has been around 2 weeks now and i thought that my period was coming by cramping bloating gas (excuse the bluntness) and tenderness of the breast this has been going on for 2 wks mind you but no period i don't want to sound insane but i'm afraid to get my hopes up but i have prayed for this very moment for so long i am just so full of emotion

please only serious answers for this is a very serious situation for me.thanx

Hello my son stays with me on the weekends and he still wears diapers. I would like to find them plastic diaper covers to use for him over his diaper just for extra protection. I know my parents used these on me when I was a baby but I have looked everywhere for these and it seems like no stores sell these. I tried Walmart but they only have up to a size 3T and I also tried Big Lots but all I could find was the small size there. I am looking for the "Toddler" size ones for him because they would provide a better fit. So does anyone know what stores sell the "Toddler" size ones? and does anyone know why these arent that popular as they were back in the day?

I recently heard our baby is in the Frank Breech position (we are 38 wks), would this most likely be a c-section, and if so, how was your recovery?... pro's and con's if you could. The baby was head down just last week, but decided to change directions, for a better view, I guess!

Wanna see the coolest web site ever?

Iol, I just wanted to post this. It keeps me occupied during pregnancy.

It goes from conception, so knock two weeks off what your doctor is telling you.

ie: if you're doctor says you're 26 weeks pregnant, you want to look at picture of the baby that is 24 weeks gestation.

I have never had any heart problems, but the past few weeks, my heart rate has been fast! My resting right now is 96, and I have been sitting for a while. I am worried that this is hurting me or the baby? Every once in a while it will spike up when I move alot, and I know my anxiety about it is not helping. Is this normal to have it be so high??

I was supposed to start my period 3 days ago. is it possible to be pregnant with a negative pregnancy test at this point. I know its early, but most of the tests say "as early as the first day of your missed period." My hubby and I have been trying for a few months and im usually extremely regular! So being this late is not normal for me. Is it possible that I could be prego and not have a + test yet?
