I'm not planning on starting to let my baby cry it out yet, she is only 7 weeks old. But I was wondering when others started. Sometimes no matter what I do she cries anyway so I didn't know if I should even let her cry it out a little now since nothing comforts her. Believe me I've tried everything, the five S's, myloccon drops, burping her, nothing works sometimes she just has gas and has to just let it pass.

My daughter is 4 months old and she went to her check up yesterday and the doctor said that she is doing things that a 6 month old would normally be doing. She almost sits up and rolls over both ways and jumps up and down. Does anyone else have a child that is like that? What age do they usually start crawling?

It seems that a baby is 24/7/365 hard work, so where and when and how do parents find or make the time for themselves, their own interests, and their hobbies? How does being a parent help a person to self-actualize, if the great majority of their attention, time, resources, money and energy is allocated to tending a baby, working and tending their homes?

Also, why do a lot of women, once they have children, seem to let go of their personal identities or at least put their identities on the back burner, and become mothers first and foremost? Is motherhood THAT all-encompassing? You are yourself first, then a wife if you choose, then a mother if you choose. How hard is it to balance all your roles?

I'm 38 and not interested in having a child. I'm asking because my adult friendships have changed now that some of my friends have children. They're not "themselves" as much; they're more mothers, and I'm finding it hard to relate. Any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive. I purchased the ovulation kits and we “did it like rabbits” on my ovulation days. I am due to start my period this Sunday. Since last week I have had SUPER sore breast, Lower back pain, Heartburn…(which I have never had in my entire life!) and I have also been gassy. Anyway, I have a feeling that I am pregnant. I have taken 2 tests, (both negative) but they were even too early to be detected by the early sign pregnancy tests. (The ones that will tell you 4-5 days before your missed period) Has anyone had luck w/ these “early tell” home pregnancy tests? If I’m due on Sunday, when should I take my next test?

* I know that most of you feel like I should “shut up” and wait until I’m late. I’m just super excited and want to know NOW!!!! * Any advise would be helpful.

We have been married now for 7 months and have a very good relationship, we've both been very influentional in changing each others lives for the better. I have 2 children from a previous marriage, my kids love him dearly, especially my son. We do not have contact with my husband's girls because, 1-the relationship with the mother was really bad, 2-she cheated on him, 3-he doesn't even know if 1 of them is even his. We are seeing a lawyer today to see what we need to do so that my husband doesn't "get taken". She has and does get state assistance (that she hasn't always been entitled to) and now they want him to repay this because she has been lying to the state for they last 5 years. He wants paternity testing, but the judge may deni this because he signed the paternity affidavite in the hospital when they were born. He (and we) can't afford to pay insurance and child support on additional children. Call us bad people, but can he relinquish rights and not have to pay anything?

If you heard of the shettle method it states have sex 21/2 to 3 days before ovulation. But you are fertile after the 12th day. So do I have sex on the 12th day or the 10th? I'm confused.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and have had very small levels of blood in my urine off and on during this pregnancy. Every time it was visible only by microscope, they periodically checked for UTIs and everything was negative. I was on antibiotics just in case, but now they are sending me to a urologist. I have no history of UTIs, kidney problems, or anything else I think of when it comes to this. It's been a healthy, run of the mill pregnancy (knock on wood) so far! Anyone had a similar situation or know why this could be happening?

Why do people look at teen pregnancy as such a bad thing? They think that just because your a teen and pregnant that you must be a whore and such. That isn't true. I have been with my baby's daddy for a year on christmas. He and I wanted to be together and get married before the baby even happened. I'll be 18 and already graduated when it's born. I am still going to college, just in the spring now. The baby isn't going to ruin everything for me so why do other people look at teen moms so badly?

I understand all the risk but is it really worth it? Since i made the decision 6 years ago to get them tied should i leave it at that? Is it possible for me to even have a pregnancy that is not in my tubes? The miscarriage that i had they believe it was not in my tubes.

I'm due Jan 5th, and I know everyone is different, but I have a national borad exam to give in the beggining of Dec, and people have started telling me about how they had their kids 3-4 weeks before they were due. My doctor said that first time pregnancies tend to go over the due date, but some of my friend had their children early, who were also their first.

Any advice on staying calm?? I'm so worried that the stress of studying and worrying about all this is going to make things happen faster? Thanks in advance...I know I sound like a paranoid preggy woman :)
