My niece is 4 and my nephew is 16 months. My sister is not with her fiancee anymore and she is now living with my mother with the kids until January. My sister's ex fiancee lives with his mother again and his mother's house is a pigsty. She actually keeps the styrofoam plate that comes with groundbeef! Her house is a death trap, and they smoke inside the house, I'm not too sure if it is with the children inside, but the children sure smell like pure smoke when I with them. They don't throw anything, and there is trash all over the place. Their crib for my nephew is in the living room. There is trash all over the floor and blankets, and if you were little you just couldn't walk in that room. I have some trouble doing it myself. I know there is mold growing and many diseases in that house. They refuse to let anyone inside their house now, and I think something bad might of happened and their house is unsafe. What can I do about this. I am only the Auntie of these children?

I havent had my period in over 5years, I was on depo provera and I've been off it for more than 2yrs and still no period. My breast are tender, it's not like having pms tender, it's worse. When I take off my bra, they feel so heavy and way bigger. Ive almost outgrown my bra. I've notices the changes about a week or two ago, I dont know if Im pregnant or what! I started taking birth controll pills less than a week ago. I took a pregnancy test before I started taking them but the results were negative. Could the test be wrong, I did buy the cheapest one they had at Osco Drug. Anyone know why these things happen to boobs?

He just sucks the snot back up until he swallows it. I find this very revolting. He does not like the way a tissue or paper towel feels. He is 8-years-old and has never blown his nose. I have tried offering $20 and he still won't. What should I do?

Who should I invite? Just immediate family, family that lives in town, all family? Friends in town or all friends?

Should I invite them out to eat afterwards, or is the church service enough?

I'm worried I've hurt my son's reproductive organs by taking low-dose birth control pills, prescribed by my mid-wife, while nursing. He is now 9 and, of course, hasn't nursed for years. But, for years he did get those hormones. Mid-wife dismissed my concerns, saying my body is always full of hormones....

I wonder if they did affect him, tho, because there is a very big difference in the sizes of our two sons' penises. Well, I haven't seen the older boy's in many years, but the younger one, I spotted in the shower the other night and was very surprised to see his penis still looks like an infant's. (Our sons are uncircumcized.) Our oldest's was not infant-like when he was 8/9.

Should I pursue this with his doctor, or are these variations just typical? I know a friend of ours had her son, who has down syndrome, receive injections of growth hormone directly into his penis, because it was so small it was barely protruding.

I miscarried about 3-4 weeks ago. I went to the emergency room because the pain was so bad when I started to pass it. After a treacherous 4 hours they prescribed me vicodin for the pain and some other long name for I had a UTI.
I wasn't supposed to have sex for 2 weeks because of the UTI. & for 3 weeks because of the miscarriage.

But, it happened about a week after most of the bleeding had stopped. The few days after intercourse I was only spotting. Now I should have been about 11 weeks pregnant but ultrasounds showed the baby died at around 6 weeks. So shouldnt the HCG levels been going down since it died?
Why would pregnancy tests be still showing up as positive 3 weeks after the passing of the tissues and apx 6 weeks after the baby's death?

Also, 2 days after the ER visit (they said i had passed everything) something VERY large passed - resembled a body organ. Looked like something of flesh covered in blood -like a sack. Was that my placenta?

for any serious help, Thank you!!!!

I'm 38 weeks(almost). I know I will have some negativity on beng induced but my baby is due Christmas and I want her here before. She is full term and the Dr gave me this option. Anyways do you think it will work if I'm already in early labor? What is your experience with this?

This is my 4th cycle with Clomid (50 mg). No luck so far. Previously, we had been having sex every night from 7th cycle day to 20th day. I read online that doing it every day can affect man's sperm count. Is it true or a myth?

Welcome to another "Am I pregnant" question! I was just wanting some opinions. I had sex a day or two after my period ended, and a couple more times this month, but alot later. I know that it's possible but more unlikely to get PG right after your period but when it came time to ovulate I never got the cramping that I usually do and it was actually late (I don't use OPK's, my ovulation is pretty regular) and when I did start to get CM it wasn't like it was normally. The only pregnancy symptom I've got ( if in case I am ) is fatigue. Not supposed to start til the 14th. What's your opinion?
I'm 26 and trying to conceive my second child.

I was wondering how many of you did the gender prediction tests like the ring on the string,drano tests,heart rate tests, etc. And you passed the tests with it being a boy and you had a girl or it said girl and you had a boy!? Just curious...all of mine point to a boy, but i wont find out until jan 3rd!!

I went to my doctor's appointment today for my first check up for my first pregnancy and found out I am O- blood type. My doc tried to explain what it meant but I got lost in the building blocks story and left confused. Please help me understand in layman's terms.
