At least from what I have seen, that is the case. There are many men that want boys, maybe to teach them to be men. Yet a very high number want to have a girl. Why is that, is there something that as a society has taught us, maybe a sort of subcouncious behavior.

On friday I took a HPT, and it came back Pos. To make sure of the results I waited, and took another one the next morning. It came back Pos. too. I made an appt. with my dr. office, and they had me to do a urine test. Theirs came back Neg. I was sent to have blood taken to check. I don't know the results on the blood test yet. I wanted to know if there was any way besides getting pregnant or medication for the body to make HGC.

I am terrified by pain and the thought of giving normal birth is making me sweat. Can I ask my doctor for a C-section from the very beginning or is it just for cases when normal birth is not possible?

My 9 month old throws tantrums if he doesn't get his way. I have tried to distract him by redirecting him to a new activity but it doesn't seem to help. I don't want to give in and give him a toy( or whatever he is screaming for) because I don't want him to think that by screaming he will get what he wants. Any suggestions?

My wife is pregnant with our second child and she is in the 9th week. She is experiencing sharp pains and continuous mild pains in the abdominal region (stomach and intestines). The doctor sent her for an ultrasound and the fetus is developing well in the uterus. But why the constant pain? The first one was not like this and she is just 30 years old. Any thoughts? Any suggestions to make her feel better? Thanks.

He is healthy, full of energy and a good weight, drinks his milk, and pureed food, but won't eat anything thicker - and will make himself sick - impossible to get him to eat anything with meat in it, or anything with 'bits'. He has eight teeth, and is now on iron each day. Is this common?? When will he be able to eat thicker food, I think he should now be able to eat little pieces of bread and fruit, but it's just not happening.

I have a 16 month old daughter who knows where her feet hands nose teeth hair ears eyes and mouth are when you ask her. Upon many other things she just seems like a very smart girl, and no I am not saying this just because she is my daughter. I trulty believe that she is smarter than the average 16 month old. Her daddy and I try to play with her sing with her and teach her. Does she sound like she is abouve average or does this seem like a normal age for this

do you think that if all the angry tax payers started getting angry at the ABSENT PARENT instead of assuming that everything is so bloody black+white all the time things would be better?why is it always assumed that when a teen or whoever,ends up raising children on there own it was a planned act?what about the fathers/mothers that just walk away,never work+therefore dont contribute....shouldn,t you be angry at them?for the parent left with child/ren its not always easy to find work or if you can find work,resources that will look after the child/ren whilst you do.god help any of you holyer than thow tax payers should you or your children ever need to claim benefits+for all the people that condem death on the teen mum please dont have children yourselves because one day you may find yourselves grandparents to the offspring of these tax sucking teens.there are far more apparent worthy causes screwing the system than single parents.

I'm 17 years old, a senior in high school, and 10 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I'm engaged and couldn't be happier. The man I am engaged to is really helpful in all that he does. But I keep getting sick and, I refuse to take any medications the doctors says is okay for the fear my baby will get sick, or die. Help what should I do? My doctor is also mad at me because he wants me to stop working. I can't do that, I have bills to pay, and a child on the way. Oh PLUS my parents would kill me if they found out. What should I do?

Never clean their rooms, sassy back-talking when least expected, only nice when wanting something, will drain your retirement fund, expects to be waited on, will not appreciate you and generally a pain in the rear. Any takers?



PS If you take this seriously, you have to take them!

So I just got married and the talk of kids has come up for months now. I feel totally ready. I'm 26, have my masters, and a stable job. My husband is 32, stable job and has his bachelors. We've been together for nine years and own our home. He says he wants kids too, but not now because he doesn't feel financially secure. We do have debt, but it is manageable and we're not living paycheck to paycheck, we have some savings. I asked him where he felt we should be before he is comfortable and I was shocked at his answer! I told him realistically to be that financially secure would take us 5 years and I am not interested in waiting that long. His response to that was we'll see and he gave me the impression he didnt want to talk about it anymore. So, after all that my question is whether I should just leave this alone or try and talk with him about it further? I don't want to be a nag, but not even trying until we're 31 and 36 troubles me, especially if we have trouble conceiving!

I had sex before my period which was a joke. Joke being the person pulled out and it was just a nightmare. The boyfriend and I had split up. My period came on time and it was a full period. This is the only period I have had. I had sex after my period with my boyfriend who is now my husband. We starting planning for a baby because we both wanted one. Since I had a full period and nothing sense then this baby has to be my husbands right? I was told that if you have one period and nothing else you are fine. Like no spotting or bleeding or etc. I'm kinda scared that the stupid sex I had before might be the father and not my husband. It would devestate us both. I was just wondering. I'm due April 25, 2007. My conception day is August 2nd. I had my period on July 19th and I had sex either on July 7th or 14th. Someone with experience please let me know. I'm extremely worried. The doctor seems to think I am fine. Just curious about what everyone else thought. Thanks.

I know this is a stupid question to ask, why don't I just wait 4 more days til Saturday and take the test? But I am so anxious! I want to be pregnant. My breasts were REALLY sore about 4 days ago. They are still sore but not as much. Also, I've been feeling really hot and I was nauseous all night Sunday night. This is the second month of trying so I'm just anxious to get pregnant. I don't want to be in my 3rd trimester in August if I can help it!!
