Did you go to a birthing or lamaze class when you were pregnant? Did you find it to be helpful or just plain dumb and a waste of time? I went to a lamaze class, and it was totally useless in the end, as I had a C-section.

It is fast approaching my son's first birthday which means he will be getting his 1 year vaccine - MMR. I have heard from too many sources recently that this vaccine has been linked to autism. Is there any truth to this? Does you have any websites that I can research this information from? Only serious answers please.

My wife will not, under any circumstances have sex with me ever since we have found out were expecting. She is now 30 weeks, and havent done anything since 4 weeks. I have asked her and she says its cos she doesnt want to harm the baby, but she knows little harm can come to the baby. After so long i am taking it personally, no doctor has told her not to do it. Any one else been through this?

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and had some menstrual-like cramps earlier this morning. The baby is still moving around, so I'm pretty sure she's ok. This is my first baby, so I'm probably just being paranoid. What do you guys think?

I heard that if your belly is low, it's a boy and if your belly is higher it's a girl?
is that true? Is there a way to tell the sex without a ultrsound?

Does anyone know what baby formula has the most DHA & ARA in it? It's very important to me that my baby gets the best kind of formula. I was able to only nurse him until he was 4 months old and then somehow now I can't produce enough milk to do it all of the time. I do still nurse him at night and on the weekends but durring the day I want to make sure that he is getting the second best nutrients that I can give him. Thanks to all that answer.

The doc told me to use saline drops and a bulb syringe. It's *sort of* working. Can any experienced moms or dads give me any other suggestions or tips? I hate to watch her sniffle. She's 6 weeks old, by the way.

Thanks for your answers,
Mandy

Hi everyone. My wife and I are parent of a 4 year old boy. I think he has some problems with speech, but I can't seem to understand what it is.

He wakes up at around 9 everyday and it starts with story telling, not just any specific story. He mixes words from TV, music, family conversations. Then he starts making up words as he goes. Everything into one pile and what he says makes no sense at all. Because of that no kids on the block would play with him and friends and relatives don't talk to them, because they think he speaks another language.

I've been thinking of taking him to a linguist or a speech therapist, but my wife doesn't think its a problem and she says that he will get over it.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Its really bothering me, because as a father I can't even have a normal conversation with my kid. He never normally answers a conversation and just keeps talking gibberish until he goes to bed at night.

So I'm 25 weeks and my "drive" is ZERO! This is so not normal for me. My poor beautiful husband does very little complaining, which I'm thankful for. About all I can manage is a little hand action on him. Am I alone?

i was reading the news about the woman in Virginia that killed her unborn baby in the third trimester by shooting herself in the stomach. the judge dismissed all charges against her. my question is, do you think this was self abortion and what sentence if any do you think she should have gotten? i think its sick, but i want your answers, thanks.

change it and go back to before? I don't know if these are normal feelings as i didn't have them with my 1st but i seem to have gone off my partner and can't tolerate people who i could sit with for hours before, its really confusing and i want to enjoy the pregnancy but can't at the moment, i am only nine weeks so i am hoping it will get better but what if it doesn't, has anyone else felt like this before?
