I am size 8(uk) and 14 weeks pregnant. My clothes are very tight now and my bump is quite noticable as I am so slim. This is my second child.
Would it be ok to start wearing maternity clothes or would people think it was a bit eager and silly?
Also I cannot wear a size up just for now as my legs and body are very thin so everyting would be very baggy apart from at the tummy.
And I have to wear jeans and fitted tops, I would not be able to walk around in sweatpants and mens clothes.

I am finding it hard to sleep at night because when I lie down to sleep, my baby pushes on my lungs and I get short of breath. Other than sleeping completely upright any thoughts?

...reason why i am asking this is cause one of the parents is worried that its going to hurt the 12 yr old that there is not going to be a mom and dad anymore.But what about the step-parents?Step-parents make the best parent some times. one of the parent's is afraid how to tell the son that there is going to be a step-parent cause the son has already said he didnt want a step-parent.he's still young, dont u agree? the son will get over it, thats a fact.kids who have grown up and been thru this situation are free to respond.

I am a mom to a 14-month old little boy and I am married to what I consider the great love of my life. Here is my questions I am requesting personal experience, honesty on the highs and low's of motherhood as well.

Do you like being a mom? Do you have days that are great, terrible, and are there times when you actually regret being a mom...even in an instant wether you seriously mean it or not. What age so far has been the best for you raising your children?

I love my son and I would never want to "not" have him in my life ever. He has enriched it to a different degree that has led me to achieve unlimited love that I thought I never had.

I however will admit honestly that there are days where I just do not want to deal with him, wish he was not in the same house as me and even briefly think of life befor motherhood....I never hate my child I do however get stressed sometimes as a direct cause of his behaviour...but i get over and deal.

What do you guys think or do ?

I know they are not supposed to watch TV but I find that there are only so many hours that I can play on the floor with blocks with him. We play for a couple of hours each day but that leaves a lot of time in front of the TV. Any suggestions?

I normally have my periods 34 days apart sometimes 28 and it is almost always like that never later. Its 8 weeks now since the last day of my last period which was october 12. I took 1 prgnency test 3 weeks ago and another one today but they both showed up negative on the first response test. I am going to buy a diffrent test not first response, I know I could still be pregnent and may have to have a blood test done but what are other things that could be wrong with me. I felt around the times that I should of had my period like I was going to start but I did not. I have been a little tired, but no sore breast, no sickness nothing. If I am not pregnent what else could be wrong with me or has anyone else had this problem. Thanks

What are the good points and bad points of having the baby carry the father's last name? She and her 3 children by a previous marriage all carry the ex-husbands name. She is having a difficult time deciding because she wants the new baby to have that connection with the father, even though he likely will not be an active part of the child's life emotionally or financially.

Do you think they should get custody of the baby?? I sure as he** don't. Also I know how nasty vodka tastes strait, and I think a baby would not like the taste of it and not take it, so how did that baby get 3 oz in its system?? I think they must have forced the baby to take it somehow. What is this world coming to, God please take the wheel, people are killing their own children, drowning them, microwaving them, stabbing them to death, what is happening to humanity??

I have no girl names picked yet but these are the two boy names I have to choose from. Being induced on Monday, guess I should figure this out. My other children are Kristalene Ann, Harold James Jr. and Starlene Jade.
Which one do you like better?
Nathaniel Ray or Zacarius Ray

My son is graduating high school this year and is making plans to go away to college, get an apartment, etc. I look at him and see a toddler who needs the protection and care of his mother. How did he grow up so fast and will I be able to let him go without falling to pieces and getting deeply depressed?

My baby started crawling a couple days before she turned 5 months old. She is almost 6 months now and she crawls super fast all over the house and pulls herself up on things to stand up. My mom says that she is doing these things at a very young age.
Is this true?? Does that mean that she is be smarter than average??

I've always thought my 8 month old son was developing quite well and as most mom's, thought he was somewhat advanced for his age, but now I wonder if he could have some form of autism. He spends a good deal of time waving his hands and/or swiveling his wrists and is always feeling surfaces or textures by flexing his fingers continually. If there is a tag on a toy, he is more interested in the tag than the toy. I always thought this was cute, but now I wonder if it is an early sign of autism. He usually responds to his name, but there are times when I will call repeatedly and he will not answer--this happens more for me to test him than to actually need to call him. He has been babbling for at least 3 months and he particlularly likes to say "da da da de da" repeatedly. Otherwise, he interacts well with people, especially his cousins who are close to his own age. Am I grapsing at straws as an over-paranoid mother or do I have valid concerns?

Two twin boys and one girl: ages 3 (the twins) and 6 months (the girl)

I have been nannying for this family for a while now and feel like I am getting ripped off. They are sweet kids, and I wanted to set a reasonable rate for an an average-moderate income family. What would YOU personally expect for three little kids?
