Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 November 2006

Just hours after delivering my baby this friend called the birthing suite to find out if I had delivered yet. This might not seem too creepy at first glance, but here's the kicker - I never told her I was in the hospital and I had been avoiding her numerous calls in the weeks leading up to the birth. At the end of the pregnancy I was completely exhausted and was hoping to get a bit of rest. But unfortunately she kept calling our home and was waking me or disrupting my rest. Instinctively her prying/annoying behaviour had lead me to shut her out. Something about her constant need to know frightened me and didn't feel right. But I think what bothers me the most is the idea that she called hospital maternity wards to find out if I was admitted without having any knowledge of my whereabouts. Instinctively I think this person is a bit unbalanced but I'm not sure. When she called the birthing suite, it was only 10 hrs after I had given birth. Is she just an awful person or crazy?

Watching DVDs w/step kids, they're Muslim from another country, ranging from 20-something to 10yrs old. Their father encourages and they believe that watching a film with grotesque violence--ppl’s heads being blown off, wild animals eating a person alive and other atrocities. However, for exp. they see a husband/wife do a three-second, goodbye kiss in an airport (like in the G/PG movies I rent) they will grab the remote and fast forwarding DVD in disgust. First I was perplexed. Now, months later, it's ANNOYING. Sometimes right after a kiss (quick or fast) the characters say something that is vital to the film. I often miss that b/c they FF it. Sometimes the youngest will FF b/c she THINKS a kiss MAY happen. One day when we were watching a PG Oscar winner they went to grab the remote to FF just before a kiss and I snatched it away and said, “You're being rude! U Don’t wanna see something, then close your eyes or look away.” They looked shocked at me but isn't what I said correct?

I need to take my 3 yr old to the dentist. How do they treat such a little guy? It isnt like they sit there and open up! I had an apt last week, and in the waiting room, another mom told me they strap them into the chair! Do they really do that?? Then the dental asst. told me I could not go back with him! Like I am going to hand some stranger my baby! Help! I dont think he has any cavities, but is it safe to wait until he is older & understands?

My boyfriend and I were messing around a few days ago, and ever since then I have been feeling awkward I guess you can say. Now when we were messing around there was not complete penetration, and I'm a virgin after that I hope. He did have a condom on for the most part, but at the beginning he didn't, and he was very close to me, to the point that is penis was in contact with my vagina, just no penetration. So is there any chance what so ever that I could be pregnant?

I have have had many questions about this topic.
I have had cramps, very emotional, sore breasts. But is it possible I could get stomach aches, before starting my period? Stomach aches like feeling like wanting to throw up. Is it possible?

How as a parent do I learn to have tough love with married 20 year old and her husband who refuse to grow up and make it on their own? Before you answer please understand that I love my daughter very much and would do anything in the world for her. But the more I do for the two of them the less they do for themselfs financially. I am at my ropes end and have put my own finances in jeapardy bailing them out. I go to work everyday at a job I am not inlove with but I go because it pays my bills. Will they ever stand on their own as long as we bail them out?

Hey guys, we have some real chances to reach people here who come for advice before they have abortions. But we don't always succeed. Sometimes we get them after the fact. The girl who just had the abortion today, while i might not agree with the act, she is hurting and she's scared and she's looking for just a little bit of compassion from us as women. To pose a question, would it be so awful if we just told her we were praying for her and gave her some support resources? I don;t advocate abortion, but i do have a heart for this young girl for some reason.

Hi i am 22 and 4 months pregnant. Over the summer i went on a cruise ship for a vacation and some emotional recovery time. So my friends thought it would be a good idea for me to get away. Anyway on the cruise i met this Australian guy who was part of the cruise ships crew on the rock climbing wall he was an instructor.A romance ensued and well i am pregnant now. He is the only man who could be the father and took me a while but i tracked him down by sheer luck .I called the cruise line and lied said i was intrested in a trainer from the cruise training me but did not now a full name and i got a buisness card sent to me.

I was on birth control for about 2 months(September & October). And when my boyfriend and I have sex, we don't use a condom. We have had sex about 3 or 4 times this week, but remember i haven't had any pills for November. And he always does the pull-out method, but even if a little sperm got n me, could I b pregnant??

Of everybody out there that has pcos, how many are you overweight? If you are overweight and lost the weight, did you get pregnant? I am really curious to know about the relationship between being overweight and having pcos. I have heard so much about if you lose the weight you will get pregnant. How much weight is enough???
