I am 25 and unlike many people my age, I don't feel that biological clock ticking. Many of my friends already have baby names picked out and they're not even married yet! Is there anyone out there that has ever felt like they just do not want children? Your life is never the same from the moment you get pregnant, so I was wondering how you knew that you were ready for such a huge step....or that you weren't. Those of you that do have children, do you ever miss how life was before them? Or does this mindset eventually change?

You might think I am crazy but I am 11 and the boy I like is 16...My older sister is 19 (pregnant) and told me not to hang around him. I didn't think any thing of it until I relized why...he had come over to my sisters house and at night he kept telling me what strikes a guy to be horny. He made me promise and mean it that anything we did would be our secret...I felt very uncofortable.I really like him and I think he likes me. How do I keep from having sex with him and keep him interested in me ?

My son just turned a year old today and we just simply could not afford to do anything at all for him because of a job transition and tight, tight budget. And I feel guilty because your first birthday is such a special one.

Who has felt that they were pregnant the moment it happened? I mean like the day, without any symptoms.

My 6 year old has had problems learning to speak; but the dr's say it's NOT any form of mental disability(ADD, ADHD, autism). We've been doing his ABC's for almost 5 years and he can only identify a few of them. He knows who I am, family ect. is. He is struggling with remembering words, letters and numbers. Yet he will learn and remember a song clearly. I'm baffled and so are the dr's; does anyone know what's wrong with him?

I'm waiting to see a neurologist now, so we've got that covered.

I had a doctors appointment today and they checked my cervix. The doctor said that I'm 2cm dilated. Does this mean labor will be coming soon? How long does it take to get to 10 cm? This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea! (I'm 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant).

Thanks!

I have been having stomach pains it seems almost everyday, but i just started taking birth conrtol pills and i already had my period. I'm in college and I do sleep a lot and am tired, but thats common for a college student. I do have my ups and downs in mood swings but what women doesn't.
Besides the side effects of taking birth control ( some stomach pain, and spotting here and there) i feel good, but sometimes i feel like i want to throw up but i haven't yet. maybe I need to just take a birth contorl test just to be on the safe side.
What do you think is the solution here?

I have a friend that is pregnant but now is going to have an abortion. Im on the verge of not talkin to her because of it for a few reasons. 1) She is almost 3 months and taking her time to have the abortion(murder),2) Shes knows iim dying to have a baby and is rubbing it in my face shes preg(and not keeping it),3) She willing had all this unprotected sex and always complained of not gettin preg and now that she is she's aborting it cuz the reality is real... I'm not against abortions if the pregnancy was accidental and precautions were used to prevent it but failed or someone is raped but i cannont forgive someone like my soon to be ex friend who just abuses the gift of being able to have a baby and doesnt by any means try to prevent it when theres are tons of ppl(like myself) having trouble concieving or ppl thats just cant have babies. Am I wrong for having this anger?

I have a four year old son who since he has been potty trained has had very few "accidents", when he did it was usually at night in his bed and it would wake him up. I would get up clean him, change his sheets and put him back to bed. In the past week or two he has had several accidents while I am at work and he stays with his step-grandfather. They have let me know on each occassion and after the second and third (which happened today) they have told me they spanked him for it and told him it better not happen again. I have given them permission to spank him if needed but havent fully discussed what I think is appropriate misbehavior for spanking, though I dont think this is appropriate. I have a couple questions: First, are these accidents normal, and just a phase he will grow out of or just carelessness on his part and Second how should I go about discussing with them that I dont think these accidents deserve such a harsh punishment without making them feel bad

Ok, here's the situation. My daughter is 4 1/2 years old. She has not seen her biological father for over 3 years, and probably will never see him again. He gave up his parental rights when we divorced, so I am literally her only parent. I have been dating an amazing guy for about 8 months and we are moving in together in January. My daughter has started asking if my boyfriend is her daddy. Now we do want to get married, but there's no ring yet and you never know what's going to happen. She knows she doesn't have a dad and knows that most kids have dads. Ugh, it's so frustrating. How do I explain to my 4 year old that my boyfriend is not her daddy, even though one day he more than likely will be. When I get the question "Is Evan my daddy?" I tell her "maybe someday and I sure hope so". Any other suggestions?
