Can they be used as a stand alone method? I know they dont protect against STDs but we've both been tested so thats not an issue.

We are going to New Orleans for Christmas and our son will be 6 months of age at the time. It is a 20 hour car drive and would like to drive straight through if our son allows. Has anyone taken their child on a driving vacation before and do you have any advice? We have an SUV so it will be roomy.
P.S. He loves car rides by the way.

My daughter will be 3 in december and she is not potty trained. she doesn't even do #1 in the potty. She understands how to use the potty. She will sit on the potty after she goes in the diaper. i need help in getting her to use the potty the right way. i give her pull up training diapers but she refuses to use them correctly and she ends up with a leak. Is there any advice that anyone can give for this situation?

I had a tubal ligation in Feb. of 1996. Within this past week I have not been feeling right at all. I am very tired, I have had almost daily headaches, heartburn,sore breast's and My face is breaking out with acne. My husband is convinced that I am pregnant. I however say no way, because of the tubal I had in 1996. I know that it's possible, after reading up on it on the internet. If I am I am now worried with an ectopic pregnancy. My period is not quite due. My last one started the 1st week of Oct.,but since my tubal they have always been very irregular. I thought about buying a home test, since some say they can detect even the tiniest bit of HCG in your urine. Now he has me wondering could I be? Has any other women who've had tubals become pregnant after them? Maybe I am going crazy here, who knows. I just know other than the missed period I do have all of the earliest symptoms. I even started having mild nausea 4 days ago, but it occurs in the afternoon and evenings.
TIA.

Me and my husband want to take our 6 month old trick-or-treating this Halloween, just for fun, to dress him up. If we knocked on your door with a baby in a stroller and a candy bag would you give us candy? Even though you knew the parents are getting the candy, not the baby?

Okay I just asked a question, but I want to clear it up. When I went for an ultrasound at 17 weeks, my ob/gyn said she thought it was a girl but wasnt sure. Today, I went for another ultrasound at 21 weeks and the tech said she was 90% sure that it was a girl. The baby was moving around and she said she could see the 3 lines ( that would make it a baby girl ) She looked at the baby for 45 minutes and never once saw anything that made her think it could be a boy. I'm asking if anyone else has had a baby girl and how accurate were your ultrasounds?

I'm a stay at home mother. I recently just had a newborn & have a 3yr old. I feel like I do all the work, and my husband doesnt help as much as he thinks! He complains that being in the military and workin 60hrs a week makes him tired. So at night he doesnt wake up for the baby. Even on his days off. Is it fair?

I don't mean babysitting or mowing the lawn or anything. I heard at my school that you can get a job at the commissary bagging, but you only work for tips. I also heard that you can get a job there pushing carts. Any truth to this? Thanks.

I'm having my baby shower this upcoming weekend. We're having one big shower for all of our family (my fiance's family and mine). There are going to be a lot of people coming that I'm going to be meeting for the first time from his family and my fiance and I thought it would be more comfortable for me, and them, if he was there. My problem is, my grandma (who is one of the people throwing the shower for me) said my fiance CAN'T come! That baby showers are for women only! I understand that typically they are only for women, but I thought we could make an exception for him because he hasn't seen some of his family in years, and I thought it would be nice for him to be there and spend some time with them and be able to introduce them to me himself! But my grandma still said no way!

What should I do?

♥ Thank you! ♥

The pain has been nearly unbearable through most of the pregnancy. No one, including her chiropractor, has heard of anything similar. Someone guessed that it was muscle tearing away from the rib cage. She's small in stature, and terrified this isn't going to go away even when the baby gets here.

My little one tosses and turns all night, constantly kicking the covers off and then waking up several times a night from being cold.

I am looking for a store or company that makes sleep sacks in 24 mos/2t.

Thanks much! :-)
