It's sounds as though my friend is pragnant. (the dda doesn't know)Luckily, she is dating the father and they do live together. The problem is neither she or him have a job. In fact, she's going to a community college, and needs to take the public bus their, since she has no car. She said she doesn't want ever to give a baby up for adpotion. It is against are religion for abortion (which we don't think is right anyway), another thing along are religion is birth control, but I think that's an excuse since she was on it before with one of her exs. (when i get married I'm going on it) That is another thing, they aren't married. They've been together 5 months this time, but dated longer a couple years ago. I think they maybe a good couple, but isn't a baby a diiferent story? How much do kids cost? Will my friend have to drop out of school? It's hard to find a job around we all live, and like I said, she doesn't have a car, and of coarse with no job. can't afford one. What should she do

My son went to his first high school party last week and I'm worried about what he might be getting in to now. I'm especially worried about STDs.
I was listening on my son's phone conversation the other night, and his friend asked him "Did you catch Jericho last week?" My son replied, "No, did you?"
"Yeah, it's awful."
What kind of STD is this "Jericho?" If my son was doing something that might have spread it, I need to intervene. If it's only spread my gay people, like AIDS, he is in greater trouble than I could have ever dreamed possible.

I had my second baby 5 months ago, and breastfed until she was 3 or 4 months. almost 2 months after weaning, i havent started my period.

With my 1st child i nursed for 6 months, but my period started regularly coming after 2 months. i know some women do, some dont, get periods during breastfeeding.

here's the weird thing.... last month i had light bleeding and thought my period was starting, but it never really got going. over a month later...nothing. sounds like implantation bleeding right?

i had 2 negative pregnancy tests. a few days ago. my husband thinks im crazy for thinking im pregnant. (we haven't been trying). are there any circumstances that are likely to yield a false negative? it seems like my body should have returned to normal by now.

oh, and my last 2 pregnancies were really easy, and symptomless at the beginning. i never would have known i was pregnant either time with out my tests.

what do you think?

My 4+ month old, who's an excellent sleeper, woke up hysterically crying at 3am last night. This has never happened before. Earlier in the evening he cried out twice, and when I went to him he was actually asleep (I put a pacifier in, and he was fine). He wasn't cold/hot/feverish, etc. Could he have had a nightmare?

Especially concerned b/c he got his 4-mo shots last week. Is this normal? Obviously, I'm a first-time mom! Thanks for the help...

My son is 5 months old and is to the point where if I leave the room he screams til I come back. Even if his dad has him. If he's laying in his gym and I'm in the room if he can't see me he screams. What do I do?? I have to work and every time I leave he screams for hours!

My son will be 3 in December and we have been casually working on potty training him since before he turned 2. I didn't want to be one of these moms buying stage 5 diapers!

We've tried pull ups and underpants... Everytime I buy a pack of diapers I say its the last pack, and everytime I try to put him in underpants I say it's the last time until he cooperates.

He usually doesn't mind lifting the seat and standing to pee but he's such a busy kid that I don't think he realizes when he has to go until its too late. If i try to push him he has a meltdown.

He finally will poop on the potty (now without his little seat) but still only if I bribe him.

I want to put him in preschool, and yesterday we went and looked at one. He loved it and I explained to him that if he wants to go to "daycare" than he has to start wearing underpants, because those kids go pee pee and poopy on the potty. However this AM he had a COMPLETE MELTDOWN when i tried to steer him to the potty. Tips?

I remember our mom used to use them on us, but that was a long time ago. Do they still make them, and do many moms still use them? Are they even really helpful anyway?

I have read different postings mentioning the surgery of putting tubes in and having the adenoids removed and I seem to see alot of "ear infections" for the reason. My son has 40DB hearing loss and I have him scheduled for surgery next Friday - I am wanting to know if any of you out there have had the adenoids removed even when there was not consistent ear infections. My ENT said that most kids that have alot of ear infections have nerve damage and that most kids that get tubes in thier ears don't really have alot of infections. Of course I am scared out of my mind for my son.... Please let me know your thoughts and how also did you tell them what was going on before surgery? I don't want him to not know what's happening to him. Thanks so much!

I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 3 months and this month I have some weird things going on. About a week after ovulation (which I had sex) I had a lot of a whitish/waterish discharge (sorry about being gross) and some cramping. There have been days I felt nausea but it came and gone. My period is suppose to start this Friday, but I'm still having this funny cramping in my lower abdomen and some sticky CM. Please help, is this just PMS or could I possibly pregnant?

Okay, so my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years, we are very happy and we have always planned on getting married and having kids. But, having kids is accidentally coming first. I am 8 weeks so far. We are both really happy and I believe we will wait on marriage until after the baby, but that will definitely happen. So, my dilemma is...his parents and my family are strong Catholics and they already don't like the idea that we have been living together for a couple years not married, but now we are going to be bringing a child into the world out of wedlock. I know my mom will be happy but I don't know how everyone else will react so how exactly, and when should I tell them? Should I wait until after the first trimester? And yes, I know that I really shouldn't care, but I do, so there. Oh yah, my mom is coming into town this weekend and is staying with us, I eat ALL the time and it will be very hard to hide.
