Ok I need answers fast because I have an appointment this morning and just want to prepare myself.....Im on birthcontrol and was on it a few months (but experiencing breakthrough bleading). My bf and I had sex 2 days before my peiod (on my 3rd week in the pack) and then again on three days after my period (3 days into the new pack). We used condoms both times. However, the second time it got a tiny bit soft before withdrawl. Could I have gotten pregnant either of these times?

Personally, i LOVE the name Sheree for a girl, but do you think it suits all ages, like a baby/child/teenager/lady, or old woman? I want it to suit them all - what do you think? (as u may have heard Sheree Murphy is my idol so i will be naming any future children - a girl - after her). I would probably put it together like so: Sheree Katherine, or Sheree Kerri. What do you think people? just out of interest.. =D

I am doing a childcare course and need to carry out an investigation which involves a questionnaire. I need to find people who have children with learning difficulties/behaviour problems. Any ideas on how to go about this and get a decent sample? Say at least 15 parents?

What kind of inexpensive or free things can I do to help her?

I was thinking of making a few meals that she can just pop into the microwave or oven. I was gonna help do her housecleaning as well. This is her first child. I have two kids but no one did anything for me, not even my husband... so I wanted to make sure my sister has a more pleasant experience. I want her to have more time to bond with the baby and get used to breastfeeding without having to worry about cooking for her husband.

Any other suggestions?

Being a single Parent must be difficult? What do you do for work and money once you have a child to look after? Because you cant go out to work as you have to look after the baby.

My son has never slept through the night and is almost a year old. I have been told that I need to let him learn to put himself back to sleep but check on him every 15 minutes or so when he wakes up crying. So far it hasn't worked. When I have attempted it he is usually crying standing up in his crib, sees me and then he cries harder. He has dinner and a bottle pretty close to bed time each night so I don't think hes hungry. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My boyfriend and I just got engaged, his child who is 9 comes up on the weekends,my children ages 15,14,12 live here full time with us, for his childs whole life it has always been about what he wants , what his baby half sister wants and what his mom wants, my b/f became the typical divorced dad, spoiled him on the weekends, now I like his son alot, but lastnight his ex calls up out of the blue and says their son is not going to come back there, (to our house, because he doesnt' want to , his son gets on the phone, and says to him, that he doesn't ever want to see him again, because he hates my children and the only way he will come back is if my children leave the house. My B/f is very upset at this, he says he doesn't understand why his son won't allow him to be happy, my b/f has in the past done everything for his son, now his son doesn't get toys whenever he wants because money is tight, he doesn't get pizza everynight, I think he is just acting like a spoiled brat.

Hi

I just want some reasssurance please.

My husband and I have decided that next year we want to start a family, of which I'm really excited about.

However, when we started out dating (about 7 years ago), I fell pregnant and had an abortion. It was the most painful experience of my life, not just physically but emotionally as well.

The lady who performed it did it in such a way as to make me feel that I deserved to be punished. I wasn't given any pain medication and on the table I almost passed out from the pain. When it was over I asked her if it was finished to which she replied Yes, Take a look. And she showed my what she had sucked out.

I am not looking for anyone to judge me and I am not scared of becoming pregnant again. I am scared of the actual birth, of being in a room again with strange people working "down there".

Has anyone else been through this before who can give me some advice on how to deal with my fears?

A girl's period has been regular for the past few months that she can remember. The last period that she had was on the 18th of September and that week after she had protected sex with a guy... That was the last that she saw of her period. She hoped that it was going to come on around the 18th of October but it never showed for the whole month, plus, she had sex on the 9th of October as well. Then in November she took 2 pregnancy tests(ClearBlue) to be sure and they both said Not Pregnant around Thanksgiving, then the next dorect week she just had sex on the 30th of November. She has been experiencing certain signs of pregnancy for a while but you know most signs of pregnancy are confused with signs of stress... so do think that the tests that she took were wrong or what do you think of the situation?
