would like a child within the next two years...or more...but not sure if I'm ready to be a single mother...anyone who's been there or any advice? I already that once I'm financially secure I had hire a nanny when I work from home or run my own business..and I'll ensure to have great support groups but joining different mom's groups etc. Just don't think I need a man to do that. Women do it all the time. I was raised by a single mother..just circumstantial. I've been married now going through a divorce..and don't think I'll get married again...and almost 30 years and well don't want to wait too long...but I'm just newly single and want to enjoy life...HELP HERE. thanks.

I have a 3 yr old and tried to breastfeed with her and coudn't do it. It hurt sooo bad. My back, my stomach, my nipples, everything. Now I'm pregnant again and I really want to breastfeed to try to lose all the baby weight I've gained. Any words of advice? and does it really make you lose weight?

Both my wife and myself live with my 20 year old step daughter! She quit college away from home to move back with the promise she would go back to school this summer! Now she says she doesn't know what she wants to do! She work's part time for a minimum wage paying job and the rest of the time she is partying with a bad crowd who drinks and smokes pot! All minors! Sometimes she does not even come home! Whenever anyone tries to talk to her, she starts shouting and starts having a tantrum, saying we treat her like a child! I am getting her a much better paying job and now she tell's me she can't pass a drug test! I am so angry at her! I snapped at her this weekend and now she is going to stay with her father this week! She acts like a little brat! She is getting out of control! She has no respect for her mother and I am just about ready to lay my cards down with her! Give her an altermadem! Don't get me wrong, she is a good kid and I love her very much! It just hurts me !

My Dr. was so very carefully chosen but he disappointed me so much. Please be patient, it's long. Never throughout my pregnancy did he say he was going to be on vacation for the week before during & after my due date. Seems like that would have come up what with the BIRTH PLAN & questions about what we would do & expect in delivery. So, at my post dates appt. (4 days past est. delivery date), I met a 2nd doctor (surprise!) who told me, "my gut tells me you'll have a c-section." HUH? We planned a VBAC. MY Doc should have been the one to say that. Honestly since I'm 100% healthy, I didn't even believe him.

2nd Doc scheduled an induction for last Tues. My husband (a doc) asked if we could move it to Mon. 2nd Doc said, "No, let's go with Tuesday. To be honest, because of who is working." SEEMS to me that would have been a good time to say, "Hey, by the way, your regular OB won't be back, nor will I do it. "A 3rd NEW Doc" will actually be doing the induction." NOT even aluded to.

If you keep track of your periods and your fertile/ovulation days and you had sex on them days did you become pregnant?
I am not saying will you..I am asking you all did you?

Did you have sex on your fertile/ovulation days and not get pregnant?
Thank you

I am not making this up. My 6 month-old baby girl starts crying every time a man talks to her, and she even looks scared just to SEE them looking at her. She even fears a good friend of my mother-in-law's, whom my baby has been seeing since the day she was born!

Of course, the only man she's not affraid of is her dad....

But what is the cause of this?

Thank you!

My daughter is 8 months old. She does the army crawl phenominally well. She can get to wherever she wants super fast. But, she doesn't sit up on her own yet. She'll get on her hand and knees and rock and she'll even get on her knees and sit up that way fine. But not on her bottom. She's a petite little thing, only about 15 lbs. It almost seems like she's nervous/scared of sitting. Oh, she also pulls herself up on stuff too. Just wondering if anyone has anything to say about this...

does breastfeeding really help to lose weight after a baby is born? Personal experiences would be helpful.

I thought I wasn't going to have to deal with this until the move out clean of my apartment, but as it turns out there is an inspection of all the units in a week. I'm getting desperate!

Notice: it's not that I'm desperate for my baby to be able to hold hers, I'm just curious!
