A man spoke frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!" "Is this her first child?" the doctor asked. "No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"
this is a true story !!!!

he sneaks things and hide them all over, We need help to make him see that sneaking food isn't necessary, he gets up in the middle of the night and does this also. we need some sugestions on how to stop this behavior.

My husband and I moved last year to TN form OH. We have two daughters, 4 and almost 2, and little boy due March 27. But we don't know anyone whom we would trust to keep them while we are having our new baby. No one in our families can drop everything at the first contraction to come here and help with our daughters. My mom has a weeks vacation, that she can take at any time after Jan. but has to put in for it ahead of time. I have talked to my doctor whom said that with this being my third child, he would feel better inducing me a week before, so it is set for March 21st, because of our situation. My question is has anyone done this? Or do you feel it is wrong for us to have the pregnancy induced just because it is convenient for us and our family? Thanks!

You know the kids I mean....the ones who are pierced...who drink... smoke...and have no rules at all? Would you allow your teen to hang out with kids like this? Or go to their house? I'm pretty strict...It makes my job even harder when my kids see other teens and parents like that...to compare me to! Any other strict parents have this problem??

And then act surprised (or refuse to take responsibility) when that kid grows up to be a so-called adult with no experience in dealing with the real world (dealing with consequences, disappointment, realizing that the world DOESN'T revolve around them, etc.)

my daugter is very healthy and very chubby, she is soiling many diapers a day.
She is three months old and has recently started eating half as much as before.
I am not worried, because she is not even fussy, still very content. but wondering if this happened to anyone else?

My back has SERIOUSLY been killing me since I have been pregnant. When I sneeze, cough, or even laugh real hard I get sharp intense pains driving up my back! Are there any ways to help the pain (other than pain relievers) that are pregnancy safe. Maybe a little excersize or ANYTHING really, but it has just gotten really bad and I am only 21 weeks! Please HELP!!!

I've lost my mucous plug, I'm at least 2 cm and 50% effaced. Baby's in position.

Last night I thought my water broke, but I don't think it did... I'm not sure what to look for! I was going pee and all of a sudden, I thought I was through, but a big gush came out and it kind of hurt, but then no more since then, just a bunch of crampy feelings and contractions, and some low back pain. I think maybe the baby kicked while I was going??

What does it feel like when water breaks?

And, since this happened last night (about midnight thirty) and it's around 4 pm now, I'm probably not in labor yet right?

I have a doc's appt on Monday morning...

can anyone tell me if when you first fall pregnant and your breasts are tender, does the tenderness fade or get stronger. Also is it normal to have the feeling of a period without having a period.

Let me start off by saying I am 21 years old. I have 2 kids and am going to have anther one in June. I live with my boyfriend. So people don't think I amachild or anything.

My grandma is the most noiest person and rudest person there is on earth.
She comes to my house every Sat and the crack of dawn like9 am. She comes up and the first place she looks is my childrens room to make sure they are clean. It really agervates me becuase she has no buissness doing this.
Than if I go somewhere with her she tells me i need to kick my boyfriend out ofthe house becuase he does nothing . Which is not true at all. He works a full time job with crazy hrs and still manages to help me with the kids and house work. When there is nothing to do he will go on the computer or play his x box. She knows nothing she is a miss know it all really she is always right.
She is embarissing my children love her but how do i tell her nicely to shut her mouth about my boyfriend and brother and to stop gossiping.

i am 26 yrs. old and am pregnant with my 2nd now. my son will be 5 yrs. old once the baby is born. we don't know the gender yet. my dillema is 'should i let my family/friends throw me a second shower?' i felt uncomfortable at my first even- receiveing so many gifts made me feel greedy and weird at the time. unfortunately we didn't plan on having another child, so we gave away an aweful lot of things we need now but didn't have a place to store them or a use for them at the time. (stroller, car seat, highchair, baby toys, etc.) now we are somewhat struggling with $ and cannot really afford these things. both sides of the family are pretty well off, so my husband thinks it is fine because we actually NEED stuff, and they'll be "happy to help". Iam still uncomfortable with it. shouldn't i be? please help! thank you!
