My girlfriend and i have been together for 3 1/2 yrs. She just broke up with me and she has been cheating for the last 3 months. In march of '05 she was pregnant and i told her to get an abortion. She got the abortion and since then she has not felt the same about me. She broke up with me for that reason. She said she didnt feel the same about me because i made her get the abortion. She is now dating 2 other guys. My parents dont know yet and friday we are going out to dinner with them. We havent really talked or seen each other since the break up. What can i do to get her back? Please i need help fast! What can I do?

Can pg symptoms be similar to the symptoms you experience before you start your period. I am 2 days late but I feel like I do before I start but its been going on for several days, not just a day or two. I plan on testing in the morning if I haven't started by then, I just wanted some opinions on if similar symptoms were common. Thanks!

My god sister called me and said that her sons father is picking him up from school, but can i go make sure that he does. I said okay but when i went to the school i did not see him so i went back home. When the children come out they are all over the place but since she said that his dad was picking him up i didn't stress it. A half hour later she calls and says no one picked him up. Is it my fault?

OK My Husband and I are TTC and I had my last period on Sept. 23rd, and was due for it on October 21st. I am now 10 days late, I already took all the HPT and also went to the doctors and got a blood test. They all came back negitive. My question is why would I be so late on my period if I'm not pregnant, and I'm not stressed? Has anybody ever had this problem? And maybe know why the period just didn't come?

My two year old will hardly eat anything. She will only eat: pizza, macaroni & cheese, plain cheese, mashed potatoes, most fruits and hot dogs. She is extremely skinny and it worries me. yesterday all we could get her to eat was some gold fish crackers and few bites of a corn dog and of course sweets. She has to be hungry. Would it be ok to give her 3rd stage baby foods again just to get some variety in her diet. I'm afraid she is malnurished. But we can't get her to eat. And we don't let her have sweets if she doesn't eat, so she is not filling up on that. She drinks milk good and we give her 100% juice diluted. Any suggestions?

I am 10 weeks pregnant, starting on my 11 week, and I have been sneezing like crazy. It started about oh 6 or 7 weeks. Normally I rarely sneeze and when I do, it is twice, rarely 3 times. But lately I will sneeze 6 times or more in a row! I don't have a cold, or allergies, and it isn't like my nose or eyes run when I sneeze. Did this happen to anyone else, or am I just unique?
PS. I can't ask my doctor until I see him again. I live in a remote little town in Mexico at the moment and their policies are different than in the states. I mean it isn't dangerous, but I am curious, it happens 4 or 5 times a day or more. I am really starting to wonder.

my 5 year old girl like to wear spiderman shirts and baseball hats. her hair is cut short. and for christmas's or her birthdays she always asks for boy toys. my sister wont buy her boy stuff. eg my sister bought her a skirt and top for her b-day but my daughter will not wear it. i told my sister she wont wear it and it was a waste of money. i believe in letting my kids have there own style. ( to a point). i have bags and bags full of clothes that my daughter wont wear that are brand new. i gave them the the women shelter. should i make my daughter wear these clothes or let her have her own style?

I have a quick question for those that already have children or are further along in their pregnancy. For those that found out the sex of the child before birth, How soon before where you able to find out? Did it change, meaning did the doctor tell you boy and later told you a girl? For the ones that found out early, how early were you able to find out and did you end up having what the doctor initially told you?

I'm ready to pop any day now! What I'm most worried about is what my body is going to look like afterwards... I know diet and exercise will help a huge deal, but some of my friends have a layer of extra flabby skin and it's gross! Is this going to happen to me? Do any other moms have this extra skin? Is there a way to get rid of it?

i recently purchased 2 large packs of huggies nappys from a boots store. much to my dissapointment every nappy in the packs has been faulty, they are really thin on the part that collects the urine so they have all leaked causing my daughter to be wet, this is paticulary disturbing putting my daughter to bed at night knowing that theres a chance she will be wet during the night.

Do you think spanking your child or putting them in time out is better? My son's pediatrician says it's better to give a time out and we debated about it. I said I spank my son when it is appropriate. He says that eventually leads the child to be defiant later. The doctor said he was spanked and l pointed out to him, "Look how you turned out." Time out just doesn't work to me. I believe a certain level of fear and dominance has to be established with your child or they may end up like one of the Columbine students that just snapped.
