Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 October 2006

Ok, here's a question for you. I have a six month old daughter named Lily and when she was about 2 months old when she would get cranky my wife would call her "Lily Monster" So going off that I sang the chorus of "The Monster Mash" to her and she seemed to enjoy it so it kind of stuck. In the last 4 months I'm fairly sure I have sung the words "They did the mash, they did the monster mash......." and so on about a thousand times, but Lily absolutley loves it. It's one of the sure fire ways to calm her down and make her smile. So my question was, what seemingly odd or weird songs do you sing to your baby? You dont need a reason, I was just curious.

My cousin recently suffered an ectopic pregnancy.

She was over the moon when her test was positive. However, a few weeks later, after suffering severe cramp and bleeding she was admitted to hospital and they diagnosed an ectopic pregnancy.

They embryo was basically growing in her fallopian tube. It was perfectly formed and had a heartbeat which was strong. However, there is no way the pregnancy could continue in her tube - it would eventually burst, possibly resulting in her death (and the death of the fetus).

The only way to treat an ectopic pregnancy is to open the tube and remove the embryo. Its basically an abortion.

So how do you anti abortionists feel about it. Should a woman with an ectopic pregnancy be left to possibly die (the baby will die as well of course) rather than remove the embryo? There is no way a woman can carry a baby to term in her fallopian tubes! It is just not physically possible.

She says about twenty different words that I can understand and babbles a lot. Is this about right for her age? SHe doesn't really put words together yet.

I want to know who tells people that sperm can only live just a few mins. out side the body.....Sperm don't die right away....how do you people think IVF is done? The sperm has to hit the air when a man cums into a cup....What do you think?

SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY. THANK YOU

Yesterday I posted a question about cramping and spotting around the time of my menstrual cycle, only thing is it didn't start, my period was late. I took one preg test yesterday and it was positive, I didn't believe it so I took another this morning also it was positive. Only thing is I'm having menstrual like pelvic cramps, spotting, & a light pain in my stomach earlier but yet my preg friends are saying that they experienced this & I'll be fine. This is my first preg. and I don't want this to be a miscarriage. I have a apt. asap with my Dr.

So I'm asking moms & preg. moms is this a normal thing? If so, how early in your pregnancy did it start?

My daughter is 2 1/2 and is completely innocent and naive. I recently discovered there are two registered sex offenders not far from our home. I want her to be safe. She's of course not allowed outside by herself but I want to know how to talk to her about it without scaring the crap out of her.

He is four monthsold, and we have been trying twice a day, 10am and 630pm with a bottle of either expressed or formula and he refuses to take either. We have tried different teats on different bottles, a trainer beaker and a cup to lap from but he gets so distressed!I am due back at work in three weeks and I am tearing my hair out-any suggestions would be greatfully accepted!!!!!

The thing is we didn't have penetration... or at least deep penetration. Let's say he just entered his mmm head and stayed there for around half a minute. He didn't ejaculate or anything, however, I know that man can expulse sperm before ejaculation, so that's my fear.

I signed up for ballet lessons for my 3-year-old. We spent a bit of money on her ballet costume, slippers, etc. as well.
She had fun the first time, but the second time she went she came out crying hysterically and saying she didn't want to go any more. She's only 3, so I think it's ok if she doesn't want to go-- that we shouldn't force her. She doesn't go to daycare, so I think it's a little overwhelming for her (separation anxiety??).
My husband, on the other hand, says I should push her and make her go even if she doesn't want to, since we already spent so much money. He thinks not pushing her now will make her a quitter later in life.
I feel so bad making her go if she's crying that she doesn't want to!
What do you think?

What's with that advertisement showing Napoleon not being able to Conquer the World because he had "male menstrual cramps."

Women's menstrual cramps happen because a blister on their ovaries erupt to free an egg cell. Men don't have ovaries, so they don't get those eruptions, so they don't EVER have that particular cause for cramps.

Men do sometimes get "stomach" cramps, but these are muscular cramps that women can also get, and in neither sex are they related to menstruation. Which, by the way, men don't do.

So WHY, fer crying out loud, is SOMEBODY paying good money to promulgate the falsehood that men get menstrual cramps too? What's the motive here?
