Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 October 2006

...and is it worth risking the chance of ending up with 4 sisters instead of just 3? I would like to have 4 or 5 kids. We already have 3 girls, and we know for sure we want to have at least one more kid. I feel like if it's another girl that I'm probably done. But I'm wondering if it's a boy, should I have another one to try for a brother for him and risk having another girl? I'm fine with having any combination of kids, since I love all of my children and feel lucky to be able to have healthy and wonderful kids. But would a little boy be better off just having 3 sisters. Or is it worth the risk to end up with 4 sisters to try for a brother? I'm trying to look at it from the point-of-view of a little boy. What do you think?

My daughter is 10 and already knows 'where babies come from' but soon she will have to know everything(you know when teenagers start having sex and on't even know that they have boyfriends and girlfriends).When my daughter was three she sometimes saw me and my husband having sex and said "Mommy and daddy play hobby-horse" and we all laughted.Now I want to tell her more so she would be ready with information when having a boyfriend.How to begin?

yes, so we all know that teenage pregnancy is not ideal, but when a teenage mother asks a question, providing it is sincere and not just some idiot messing around, why do so many people feel the need to answer with lectures and rude comments about keeping their legs closed and the horrible mistake they have made. Don;t you think they realize this? If it is a sincere question it deserves a sincere answer, if you can;t provide an answer you feel is accurate or correct than why don;t you ignore the question and move on to another one?

As for them telling their age along with the question, i believe it is because a teenage body reacts differently to pregnancy and sometimes knowing the age of the mother is important in providing an accurate answer to the question they have posed.

What is everyones problem?

Okay, I wasn't exactly sure when the first date of my last period was..Now I'm completely unsure of my due date, only I know that it is sometime in November. My first ultrasound, I was 3 days behind..now I'm actually ahead of where I should be. How can I atleast halfway determine when I am going to go into labor? Should I go ahead and get my hospital bags packed? ..Sorry about the question, I'm sure these get annoying. Haha. But right now, my doctor says from the date I estimated, I'm 36 weeks.

I'm 23, been married for 1 year, and we've been trying to conceive for about 4 months, nothing technical, I don't keep ovulation charts or anything, but I'm starting to worry that nothing has happened yet. My husband is 31, and I don't want him to be an old father, and we want 3-4 kids, spaced out about 2-3 years apart. When is an appropriate time to go to a doctor or for my husband to get a sperm count?

I started my period two days early and it was 3 days shorter than normal. I had unprotected sex a day or so before i started ovulating and he came in me. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Could I be pregnant and the test was inaccurate?

Where are some good places to look into for baby clothes that consist of band shirts, skull caps, etc. Nothing dark and gloomy, but nothing pink and frilly. Hot Topic is overpriced and Amazon/EBay is trying my luck. Any other suggestions on where to go, and a brief description on what they have? Also, would it be wrong of me to dye my daughter's hair fun colors? (I'm a hairdresser, so I know the limits) I'm just wondering if that would be pushing it? She's not at an age where she will care, anyways.

I never wanted to be one of those people, asking "do you think I am pregnant?" But if a lady was to have a pink tinged mucousy discharge about a week after ovulating. And is also having some cramping, backache, and bloating. Is this a sign of a pregnancy? Yes, I was taking birth control. And yes I know how to take a pregnancy test or go see my doctor. I was just wondering if I should be worried about these symptoms?
