My baby has been moving a lot, its so exciting and the doctor told me it was good but I always worry about everything and think he might be unconfortable or something is wrong. What does it mean that he's moving a lot?

I've heard over and over again 'go away on a trip alone and it'll happen'. Well, hubby and I are going away this weekend ALONE to relax and have fun. We'll see if this theory works or not! haha Anyone else have any luck with this? :)

I know of a couple who had them done at a very young age (babies) However I wish to get my daughters ears pierced and am not so sure she is old enough yet since she is passed the baby stage. All opinions appreciated.

I would LOVE to hear anyones stories on pregnancy hormones or how pregnant women behave.

We had an amazing five month relationship before we found out she was pregnant. (due next month, im very excited!!)

My girlfriend is VERY stressed and angry 24/7 and has only been getting worse since about week 4.

At around 14 weeks she dumped me saying I dont care about the baby, a few weeks after that she broke off all comunication with me.

I havnt been violent or abusive and obviously care about becoming a daddy authough I probably should have shown it more.

This cant just be all hormones could it?

Were both in mid 20's and before anyone asks... YES IT IS MY BABY she's the most trust worthy person ive ever met.

Every teacher he has had told him this, his father and I have scolded him.

But he rushes through all school work, tests and projects.

This affects spelling and grammer, math, and doesn't include details in this written answers.

I am 7 week pregnant and i started bleeding. I went to the hospital where they did bloodwork and 3 different ultrasounds. Baby is doing fine and in right spot, but I have a pool of blood just sitting in there waiting to come out. They say when it does my cervix will open and there is a chance that I could miscarry...Has anyone had bleeding during pregnancy and had it all work out fine?

Are there any advantages or disadvantages to the different circumcision methods used today? I've heard that there are several ways that this is done now and that some produce better results than the others and one to definately avoid.
Which causes the least pain and gives the best result?

masturbated by my adolescent son, including two towels, a bunch of socks and a baseball cap. I don't know what I did wrong in raising him, but I can't live in denial. My son, my own flesh and blood, is a serial masturbator. It would be easier to take if the things I find weren't so severely masturbated. There is obviously just so much sickness there. I feel so lost, someone please help!

i took the 1st pill of my new pack late (does it count as late if its the 1st?) more than 12 hours after i normally do. then took the next 2 on time, then stopped taking them as we decided to try for a baby, have been having sex since, including a week away on our honeymoon ;-) problem is i'm not sure when my period is due, ive been on the pill for 7 years and was initailly put on it by my dr because of extremely irregular periods. the late pill was taken on 28th sept and last pill on oct 1st. been feeling a little odd lately but not sure if its anticipation. my mum got pregnant really easily with me and my sister, is it wishful thinking that it could be hereditary?!
basically i'm wondering when i will know if i'm pregnant - obviously the arrival of a period will tell me i'm not but how long should i wait before taking a test? i dont want to disappoint my self getting all excited about doing a test if i'm doing it too early

My wife, I and our 16 month old son are currently based in Houston TX. Our son is extremely active and likes to be in the company of other kids / adults. We have filled his room with all kinds of toys and gadgets but he doesnt like to play with them for long . During the weekdays, he has to spend most of this day inside the house. He is ok during the morning but gets extremely cranky when he is not able to go out for long - he also has developed this habit of beating his head against the carpet and the wall and we are scared all the time that he would hurt himself.My wife cant drive right now and I need to be out of the house during day time on my work. In the evenings we usually go out for regular shopping etc. but are not able to find out a place where my child's energy could be properly tapped.

Any suggestions how to deal with this kind of a situation

My 11 year old granddaughter, "Binky" (made up) has a "best" friend, "Boppy" (yup, made up). Boppy comes from a terrific family but can be very sneaky and calculating. My daughter and I thinkBoppy has taken money and other things from Binky and another friend's,Ditsy's (appropriate but made up) , home but can't prove it. Boppy has said the girls "left" their items at her house and they do play there a lot and both are typical forgetful 11 year olds.

Another issue is Boppy will do things that can cause trouble then back off when they get caught (like teasing someone on the bus) and let others take the full blame even though the ones who get into trouble say she has done it as well.

What can Binky do so that she doesn't continually get taken advantage of by Boppy. The key is, Boppy is still Binky's friend is not willing to give that up.

Help! I live at their house to baby sit several days a week and see it all first hand.
