I understand the consequences, it is all clear, i wouldnt do it if my parents threatened to chop off my fingers. Why wont i do my work? I will lie and do all kinds of stuff to hide it, i feel bad when i do bad simply b/c i fear my parents i think, but lately i have been doing stupider and stupider things revolving around academics specifically lying and a few other things, how do i handle this?

My husband and myself usually let him fall asleep wherever. Meaning, if we are watching tv, he usually falls asleep right there on the couch with us, or when we go to bed, he sleeps with us in our bed. But, for some reason during the middle of the night, between 11-3 he crawls into our bed. I try to bring him right back to his bed, but he fusses and won't go back.

So i just updated about how i was stressing about maybe being pregnant and what not. thanks so much for all your answers by the way.. :o) I am so new here and i love it already!
Anyway,
So i just got outa the shower, of course you all wanted to know ;) hehe. And i noticed my nipples have goten a little darker and my breasts have gotten excessively bigger. I am a tiny girl (4'9..90 lbs at most) i have always had decent size boobs..but WOWZERS are they getting big.
I know these arent early signs of pregnancy (or are they)...and if not what else could cause these things to appear from nowhere?! (although i am not complaining of the size)
thanks a bunch guys :o)

Just out of interest. I know that I'd want my wife to be able to produce milk for any offspring.

Is it ok to let your 5-6 month old baby sit upright in there swing at night to sleep? I heard that it can cause back problems. Is this true? I dont have a child, but i was wondering.

My husband's 16 y/o just started living with us and is making our 11y/o's life miserable. She'll say stuff like, my dad loves me so much and he came into my room last night and gave me a kiss on my forehead, my daddy does anything I tell him to do, or even tells me to take care of her dad because she knows of two women that want him. I keep telling my 11 y/o that the older one only says stuff to make us feel bad but she doesn't understand. I have talked to my husband about it but he doesn't see what this girl is doing. We (daughter/me) see how he is partial to his kids from the first marriage but doesn't pay the same attention to my daughter (his as well). He thinks we are both crazy and continues to give the older ones everything they want, even though they have been really messed up as far as what they have done in their short years of life. My daughter is hurting and I don't know how to comfort her.

I am 6 weeks pregnant w/ our 3rd child, my hubby is super excited & so was I. But over the last few days I have gotten so worried, 3 small children is starting to seem over welming. I didn't think about it that way until a friend said how difficult 3 must be when you only have 2 hands. I know I will calm down, I just keep trying to remind myself what a blessing this is. My question is to moms of 3 plus children, was it a hard transition from 2 to 3 children or was it the same & any advice PLEASE! Thanks

I know once the contractions get to hard to handle but at what cm should I ask for it. What they said is they are going to put a gel on my cervix tonight to get me to start dilating and then if I do break my water, If not start me on pitocin until I dilate enough to break my water. So when should I ask for one?

OB/Gyn said they didn't have any info. CVS pharmacist was wishy-washy; said it should be fine since it's a supplement, then said no since there's no research. Am still waiting for a call from the Pediatrician, so thought I'd ask here and see what kind of answers I get.

or should I worry?

Also, when she's sitting in her high chair, she's always leaning to one side... why? Do you think there's something wrong with her? How can I get her to sit up?

Thanks!

I've had 3 (18, 25, & 52 DPO) all negative. However, the radiologist last week (69 DPO) asked what the results of the blood tests were and was surprised by my answer. I doubt that I am pregnant at this point, but could it be possible?

I had an ovarian cyst on one of my ovaries but it was surgically removed. I have been scared ever since because I thought I would have problems becoming pregnant. Will I?

My wife took a pregnancy test Sunday and it had 2 lines; one line rather faint. This morning she took another, 2 lines, one line a little darker. What are the odds of her being pregnant? I am very excited, I just do not want to get my hopes up. (2 lines = pregnant) Please help.

Okay, I am past my due date by almost 2 weeks and I am going in tonight to be induced. I am scared out of my mind, because this is a first time for me. I am very excited to see my baby but SCARED of what is going to happen. Lol I know everyone keeps saying calm down, relax..but yeah, thats not happening. I havent slept at all for 2 days now because I cant stop thinking about it. I know women do it everyday and all but I dont know, I dont know how to explain it, Im just nervous about what is going to happen. I know that I am getting the epidural because I dont do pain..lol. My husband keeps trying to reassure me which I really appreciate, he is being a doll but I still cant seem to shake this nervousness. I am ready to get it over with though. Can you give me some calming words and experiences please that may help me calm down a bit? I know everyone is diff but it will be nice to hear what happened to you. I appreciate it!

My wife is breasfeeding our 6 week old baby boy and we are having trouble understanding why he is a perfect angel some days and other days he is very fussy. At first, we thought it might be colic. But he is not fussy every day and the days he IS fussy, he's fussy and grouchy all day long. Now we are thinking that it could be something my wife is eating, which is upsetting his stomach. The list of foods that can potentially upset our baby boy is HUGE! Basically my wife can eat meat and drink water - that's it!

What else could it be? He has good days (the entire day and night) and other days (entire day and night) he will be fussy and grouchy. Any ideas/advice/recommendations?
