Two possible fathers. I want to give the baby up for adoption, but one of the possible fathers, if it is his, wants to keep the baby. I believe the father has just as mush say in the decision as I do. So what do I do? I have nothing. No place to live, no money, etc. I cannot give the baby up for adoption if it is one of the fathers baby. I hafe been honest to father. The other possible father wants nothing to do with me or baby. What should I do, without betraying the possible father who wants to keep the baby if it is his baby?

I had an emergency c-section 3 years ago. I have always had some tenderness associated with this incision. I had the vertical cut, so it goes all the way down past my bikini line. This is where the pain is. I am around 6 weeks pregnant now, and I am having a constant pain in this spot. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, what did the doctors say it was?

- I am 23 weeks pregnant, last week i was 24 cm's big. i measure my self every sunday. I measure my self today and i am only 20 cm's. Is it okay and normal for you stomache to get smaller like that?

- Another question i have is, They say you become constipated while pregnant.. does the pains u get from it go from your tummy to your back? and do they last for a long time?

- One More... Having a Bacterial infection for a long time during you pregnancy, is that going to affect me or my baby?

Okay i'm sorry about this but I need some answers. I've had some feelings that i've been pregnant and I'm saying this because I HOPE that this is what this has to do with. Anyhoo...I've been kind of constipated for about a week now but not so much that I cant have a bowel movement at all. So I've noticed that when I go poo I have some white discharge coming out too. not alot just a little bit. and its scaring me really. I've never had anal sex or nothing like that so I know thats not the problem. Its not a lot of discharge but enough. When I wipe some comes on the tissue. Is this a serious problem? and if you've heard of this being tied to pregnancy please let me know! sorry if I've grossed you out

We all know that drinking WHILE pregnant is a big no-no, as it contributes to all kinds of birth defects. However, can heavy drinking years BEFORE pregnancy lead to birth defects as well?

I have a neighbor whose kids are almost always dressed up in dress clothes even in the summer. The boy’s normal attire is a dress button up shirt (sometimes with a tie), dress pants, dress shoes and socks. On the little girl it is always a nice dress and dress shoes. I do not think them dressing up is a bad thing, but I do not see the reason everyday. It not like they are outside playing in the mud like this, but I see them in and out of the house on any given day. Has anyone ever seen this or do this with their children.

I want to get my son a pet for christmas but I'm not sure what to get. He loves animals and is very gentle. I would love to get him a dog but we rent a house and are not allowed to have an inside cat or dog and I don't like keeping pets outside in the winter. I was wandering if a hampster or guinie pig would be a good idea. I know they like to chew and I had a hampster when I was small that bit and gave my a few stitches so I'm not so sure about getting another one, especually since I know my son will want to hold what ever pet he gets. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good indoor pet besides a cat or dog that would be good for a young child?

I noticed something I was once married I had a total of 4 micarrages ( my doctors said they couldnt find any reasons as to why I was misacarrying I am healthy I was 20 then and I am 22 goign on 23 now and my husband was healthy) And all my younger friends now 18-20 all have one or two kids now, I always wanted to know why it is alot easier for them to have perfectly healthy full term pregnancies and I can't :(. It just seems so unfair none of my younger friends are even married or with the guys anymore *sigh*

Did they use a reward system? If they did what did they use? My mom in law wants me to put my 3 year old in headstart because she heard that they can potty train a child in only 4 days. I have no idea if that is true or not. He has no intrested in being potty trained right now. I also want to hear what you think of head start. I have never been into a head start program before. The town I grew up in never had one. My son has never been away from me and gone to school. I tried for a month in a daycare in a gym that I had to quit because he hated the daycare. I would leave him after getting him into something and he would cry. He really dosen't play with kids, And has no friends. I didn't start pre-school until I was 4 and never knew a child my age until then. I am not sure about it. To me a pre-school that is discounted or free can't be that great. I picture a school that is dirty and everything is used and a staff that doesn't really care. I could be wrong. Thoughts?

I think women should be allowed to have abortion for up to 7 weeks post fertilization, anything after this I am against as this is when nerves and brain begin to develop which will enable the fetus to think and feel pain. How do you feel?
