I just answered some idiots question about "Why do people think that having an abortion is killing the baby?" It is extremly appauling when people say things like that! They should think about how they wouldn't be here if their mother's decided to abort them.

At what age can I switch my daughter to a toddler bed? I am 5 weeks pregnant for #2 and would like to use the crib for the new baby.My daughter is 18 months and will be 2yrs and 2 months when the baby is born but I would like for her to already be "trained" to a different bed so I wont have to do this when the baby is here. Would it be too soon? Or should I just buy another crib?

I know a lot of women either tear or have an episiotomy during birth. I know because I have done both. I have some friends that say they didn't tear or anything. Is this really possible? And if it is, how can someone not tear?

My son was born on holloween so he is 4 weeks old .... He has been feeding fine with no problems at all with feeding or spit-up for that matter... but all of a sudden 4 days ago he just started spiiting up ALOT! I am talking about like the exorcist ! Almost eveytime that I feed him he will spit up all that he ate almost... But he isnt crying or whinning at all really. The only time that he does cry is when he wants a bottle.

My wife stopped breastfeeding at 2 weeks because she dryed up. Our last child we gave her Parents Choice (from Walmart) and she had no problems. So I went and bought him (my 4 week old) the same thing and we had no problem with the first can and then his Dr. says that he should be on Enfimil and gave us two cases of it and he was fine for a little bit. but now he spits it all back up almost 8 out of 10 times ..... Should I switch back to the Walmart Brand ....?

I took a a couple of pregnancy test cause Im trying to fall pregnant the first test which I took 10days after intercourse like it said too came back with a very faint positive line, so I waited for my peroid to be due and tested again and now its negative and I tested again with the same results. Could I be pregnant or is my peroid messed up cause Im still breastfeeding? Thanks in advanced for you advice.

Assuming the monster was real, could a woman get pregnant? Would the child turn out to be like its father once it grew up?

i babysit a little girl who is an exact year older than my son. she is the same height as my son which is 36 in. (i know my son is tall but she just seems so small). she also only weighs 22 pounds. is this normal. her mother is younger and doesn't feed her well. when she comes here she won't eat veggies, fruit, meat or anything really good. i did just get her to start eating peaches. her teeth are kind of gross and she doesn't know much for her age. she doesn't talk very clear either. i just need to know if this is normal. she goes to the doc. but he must not say anything about her weight or what she eats. i am just kind of worried about her and always have been. she also clings to everyone, even if they don't know who they are. she cries when they leave. she also cries over everything!! even when i comb her hair. her mother hardly ever combs her hair when she comes here. please give me some advice on what i can do for her. or what anyone else thinks about her size and different issues

When it comes, he gets hot so fast and he can hardly move. But it lasts only maybe 15 minutes then he's back to normal. It happened twice on Friday, not at all Saturday and once today (sunday). After the fever is gone, there is a tiny bruise on one of his cheeks.

Any ideas about what it could be? Should I take him to the doctor, or wait it out?

Last week I went to the doctor and he said because of my high blood pressure I had to be seen every week. He said I need to be "monitered." I should have asked him what he meant by that, but it totally slipped my mind. I know they will be checking my blood pressure and everything, but is there more? What did he mean by that? To be "monitered." Has this happened to anybody else before? Please share your experiences.

so in our bowling league....we have an anual secret santa and last week was the name drawing...i got the kid Chris that i said i liked in 2 other questions of mine...yesterday we had to give each person the gift, and it just so happens he got me!!! In my gift to him, the card had a heart, and i watched him open it, when he saw it he looked happy. And he got me...so before i openeed it he added something to the card....he said and i quote: " Im touched that u like me, truth is i like u to, but our age difference matters...I broke up with my gf...but im not sure if i want you to be my new one...right now we can "date" but dont tell anyone till next week, im not sure if it is a permanent relationship"

I was so happy i hugged him, then my dad came over and asked my why...i said " i liked his gift dad..." and he seemed to believe it! i guess my question is simple...should i go out with the person i've been crushing on for so long, even with the age difference (me 6th grade him 8th grade)

This is a question for those who are happy with their choice, wheather it's being a parent or being childfree. I do not want to offend those who want to have kids, but cannot, or those who experience an unwanted pregnancy, I am just curious to know what do you like best about your choice? What do you enjoy the most about your life that you could not if you had kids or were pregnant (or if you did not have kids)
I do not have kids, and I love the fact that I can take a weekend trip to London or Paris whenever I feel like it. I also love it that I can have sex in the kitchen in the morning and be as loud as a want. I enjoy it that my work sometimes takes me to 5 different countries in 2 weeks, that I can have expensive glass decorations in the house, and that my abs look awesome in a bikini. I know that the last one is lame and vain, but I was a chubby kid, so I'm very proud of my nice abs.
That do you like best about your choice?
