so, I'm trying to decide how I want to have my child, naturally with no epidural, with epidural, c section, or any other way out there. If you could relive the day with knowing what you know now, which would you choose.

I had a baby 13 months ago and I breastfed for a year and i was 130 before baby and I clocked out at 217 at delivery (he was 9 # 11oz by the way and was 22 " long) and I have only been able to get down to 180 now. I look like someone let the air out of a tire or balloon or something, I watch what I eat, I have walked and exercised as much as a mom of three that works 40+ hrs a week can. I am so desperate I have even been looking into weight loss pills. I need help!! Any suggestions?? I need to lose this weight fast I am always tired and my self image sucks. I get asked daily if I am pregnant and I can't take it anymore. I will take any and all suggestions...PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

He found out (obviously by the 11 positive pregnancy tests he saw in the open trash) that I am pregnant, and he's BEYOND happy... He KNOWS I already told him I'm giving it up for adoption but it isn't REGISTERING. He's opening up one of the rooms we use for storage in order for the BABY to have room! I don't want room, I don't want the baby. He's telling me what I can build for the room, what stuff me and my friends can build for it. He can't wait to be the "Stay at home mom" because I work a 12 hour day, everyday, 5-6 days a week. He cooks, cleans and does everything wifely around the house, so he's in denial that I don't want it. When I bring it up, he practically BEGS me not to say such things. I say no, and he just crumbles down into a very deep depression, crying and holding me and the BEGGING... He's the gentlest most wonderful man I have ever met in my life, but children are not for me. I would gladly have 20 Great Danes over just one child, and he knows, but he loves children..

What ways can I help her to understand that since I'm home 24/7 with the baby that the baby needs affection from her as well. Our baby is 13 months old and is getting out of breastfeeding except sometimes when she awakens at night so that's pretty much all she gets from Mom. I fear that our roles have reversed from what is normal socially. I took a hiatus from my job at State Farm to save us money on daycare because for newborns it's like $300 per week. I think she is actually jealous of the way I care for her but I didn't ask to be put in the situation, I'm just making the best of it. What do you do when Mom is jealous of the baby ? It's like she will let her sit on the floor and cry and say, "I'm not going to pick you up. Your father has spoiled you." The kicker is, I don't pick her up often at all and I videotaped my day with her to prove it. I just think she is punishing our baby for the love she gets from me.

Our beloved full-time sitter of three years is leaving us next week, getting married and moving out of state. She has been with Max every day since he was six weeks old and he dearly loves her and she adores him. How have you explained a sitter leaving in a way that makes sense to a toddler, knowing they won't likely see them again? (I am already bracing for tears all around for the adults...)

He will also be starting at a daycare (big new experience) the following week and transition by going for two hours a day this week.

We handled the death of one of the cats last year, but this time I'm at a loss.

hi!
my 9 month old daughter will throw herself back and starts crying if i wont let her hold something she wants to. and she starts kicking her feet. i remember my first daughter use to do that sometimes, but i thought she was way older.
if you have an infant under a year old, do they do that also?
any suggestions on trying to stop this behavior?
thank you in advance!

I believe I am in labor. I am having very bad pains in my stomache that kinda shoot up from my vagina through the stomache. Sitting is very uncomfortable. I feel better standing up. lol. Anyways I have been timing the pains and it seems that they are about 15-20 minutes apart right now. But consistant. Well, I guess I just want to know how far apart should they be before I go to the hospital? I have been sent home twice because of false labor and braxton hicks(after I have sat in the waiting room for ever.) So anyways, does it sound like labor to you? My baby dropped about 2 weeks ago, and I havent loss mucus or anything.

I went to the store and bought a crapload of pregnancy tests. I bought 1 of every kind there, I'm looking at them all and there is 11. I KNOW it only happened yesterday.. so why is it that they all say positive for pregnancy? I'm REALLY being serious for this one, I've never been so completely freaked out in my life. How could this HAPPEN to me?? And I would think that after 11 of them telling me that I am, I would have to actually believe it... I must be a month or two along, who knows... But read my other questions! I GOT my period 2 days ago, it was only for a day and a half, then I had sex with my bf and it stopped. I know it wouldn't show I was pregnant from yesterday, so yeah... I made a doctor's appt to find out exactly how far along I am. I'm shaking... I don't know what the heck to DO... I was brushing it off like it was nothing, but I have a big important JOB! I MANAGE, for crying out loud! He wants to keep it.. I won't. I won't have this ruining & stifling me. Tips??

she said that when she peed in the cup (it was one that you peed in a cup then dipped then stick in. ) she flushed the toilet and got some water in it, but it couldnt of been much because i was watching her. (as you can tell i was suspicious already) so would that effect the test that much? also she went to the doctors (3weeks after) the last time we had sex and the urine test came out negative. we have taken at least 6 home tests and not a sigle one came out positive. could she really still be pregnant?
