Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 November 2006

I was wondering if there's anything specific I should ask since I have a doctor's appointment today. This pregnancy thing is so new to me. I'm almost five weeks and not sure what all I should ask. The Dr. seems a little disorganized and busy when I go in there.

This past year, my son has wanted to spend every weekend at his best friend's house. Its getting so my husband and I rarely can do any activities with him. My husband used to take him fishing all summer long, but now my son has lost interest in that too. I know this is probably all normal, but how do I make my husband feel better about it? He is taking it personally.

Also, I've quit making my son go to church with my daughter and I (hubby doesn't go) because I am tired of fighting with him about it. Is that wrong? I used to have this rule that he couldn't spend the night somewhere on Saturday, because of church Sunday morning, but that just made him resentful. He hates to go to church. So does my husband.

I'm all for being original. Afterall, everyone wants their child to be named something special and unique; but with some of the names I've seen over the past few years, children are (at best) doomed to a lifetime of spelling out their version of their name, or teaching people how to pronounce it.

It's gotten to the point where you could name your child Matthew and be totally original again, lol. Does anyone else think it's gotten out of hand?

My husband and I are having a horrible time finding names we BOTH like. So far both of us like Brooklynn Rose but that is the only one. THe middle name is for sure Rose...(4 generation tradition)

What do you think of
Briley OR
Brinley
????
Any other suggestions that arent to "out there" but arent to used??

Also we want the name to fit, so when ppl say our names they all run together smoothly, My hubbys name is Jeremiah (Jerry) and mine is Megan....
suggestions PLEASE!!!
THANK YOU :)

last night i took my daughter to have pics with santa.. we were the first in line.. i put her on santas lap - she cried like i figured she would.. but the person the had working the camera was a young girl who wasnt trained and the normall lady was late! this girl didnt know what she was doing and was getting confused i told her what pics i wanted and she just didnt comprehend. then the santa stands up and says to me whats your problem you need to figure out what you want were are missing other peoples pictures...(not my fault they stuck another couples kid on santas lap before this girl was ready!) never the less he yelled at me in front of all those families! i was so embarresed i started crying when we left. they spent no time with me to figure out the pictures they just pushed me along... $ 40 later and i didnt get the pictures i wanted.

would you call a manager and ask for a refund? or what would you do if this happened to you?
thanks for your opinions

after I had my abortion (due to health problems) I felt relieved. Now it's 8 months later and now I start feeling depressed and it's tearing me up inside.
How do I get over it? Did any of you have abortions? How did you get over it?

Negative comments will be ignored. Thank you.

First off, if you are one of the people that do not believe in aborting a pregnancy than keep your comments to yourself. I used to not believe in it myself but things change.

Anyways, I had an abortion a few months ago and have been having occasional abdominal pains, and also in the lower part of my rib cage, ever since. I had to abort a pregnancy when i was 15 and had no problems afterwards and I also had a miscarriage a few years ago also. It's not something that's occuring on a regular basis but it does have me a bit concerned. I don't know if it's something I should have looked into cause I really can't afford to go to a doctor, or if I should wait a little while longer to see if it goes away. Any advice?

I met a girl on the 23rd of september this year. We went out for a couple of weeks, we had intercourse on the 15th of october and the 19th. She told me she was on the contraceptive pill. (cant be sure and we didnt use a condom) Around the 23rd of october i realised she had not had a period since we met. When i asked her she said she was due on the 18th of oct. Asked her to do a test and she refused , which caused lots of arguements , which in turn caused us to break up. Last week she phoned me to say she was 10 weeks pregnant, i am in turmoil , the dates dont add up . She has told me she had a period from the 13th to the 17th of september and has not had one since?
I am so confused as to wether it is mine? Can it possibly be mine?

My husband and I are TTC. I test for ovulation once in the morning and once at night.

I tested several days ago and my ovulation predictor test was positive. The instructions said I should have sex 24 hours after getting a positive, but before 48 hours.

We had sex 15 hours after getting a positive and didn’t get to have sex again until two days after ovulation, which was too late for conception.

I pretty much had sex a day before ovulation. I wasn’t sure if my chances of conceiving are lower since I didn’t have sex on my actual ovulation day.

Are my chances of conceiving still high?

can you really damage it, if you took pills, but not meaning to hurt the baby also......will the baby be ok, say if my friend took eight different kind of pills, and like two days later did the same, but stopped taking pills, so thats 16......can that possibly hurt the baby on 6 to 7 weeks, but she did this around 4 to 5 weeks when pregnante......

any information will help....

My wedding is coming up in January, and I am currently about 14 weeks pregnant. I wanted to get my hair highlighted (foiled) and i asked my doctor if it was okay, he said that it shouldn't be a problem as long as i'm in the second trimester- there was nothing proven to cause harm. I was just wondering what some of your opnions on the matter were?

I want to see about getting my tubes tied. I am only 23 getting ready to go on 24. I have never had any kids but I have been pregnant 3 times already. I love kids to death, I have a niece and 2 nephews that I love to death but kids are just not for me personally. I've been told for a long time now and by many people to wait cause I will change my mind but I know that I won't. I do not want to have kids and I don't want to keep having to worry about becomming pregnant and condoms and birth control can not guarantee that I won't. I want something permanant.

Do you think it's just an imagination or do some of you belive that some kids actually see something? My daugter is 3 and honestly, sometimes it seems to go beyond imagination (and it doesn't seem that "friendly" either). And it's not like monsters at night or so, she sleeps well, it's during the day she keeps telling me she sees and it's scared of something or suddenlly she just freaks out. It all started out of the blue last week and getting worse...

Pregnant at 24 weeks and have a question about baby's health?
Hey one of my girl friend wrote to me that her little 7 month old daughter had a stomach virus since Thanksgiving morning. Is this email okay? Here's what I wrote back to her:

"Oh, I am sorry to hear about her. What may have caused the virus. Can she take any medicine for it, if so what kind? I need to be aware of this stuff."


Does my response to her sound selfish especially my last sentence of needing to know this stuff? I need to know it cause I am pregnant with my child and will soon be looking at medicines and baby health. She has not replied back tome since then, so I hope she is not mad at me. I mean as much as I care for her and her baby, I have a right to know for my child as well? Virusus and ear infections and fevers are so common in little infants that it's fine what I asked her in my reply right ladies?
