Is that ture that you can say sex of baby by the shape of mother's belly?
I have a round belly and ppl think I have a boy but I have a girl ( acording to my Dr )
Did anyone else had a round belly with a girl?

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and every time I pee, I notice little clumps of a mucousy substance in the toilet. Honestly (not to be gross here) but it looks like snot. I'm not having contractions, the baby is 3cm dilated but my family has a history of delivering late. There isn't anything else going on that would give me any reason to be concerned. It's just a little gross.

Last time I went into labor, they had to break my water. I have a Dr. appointment on Wed. Should I call tomorrow morning anyway or is this fairly common?

P.S.- Thank GOD for anonymous question forums!!!!! LOL!

I am unbelievably sick of all of you self righteous people who think that formula is made for lazy or uncaring mothers. STOP assuming that people asking questions about formula want your damn input. We are parents too and large companies make formula for a reason. Would you rather me starve my child because I cannot breast feed. And for your information, it was because of two lactation speciaists that added to my inability to breast feed. Keep your opinions to yourself and stop the judgment. It is difficult enough making parenting descisions without people like you! Here, Here to those of you with the same opinion! Let me here from you!

I went upstairs in the middle of the football game to grab a pantiliner. I figured, no big deal, probably just leaking a little bit because the baby is putting more pressure on my bladder. I am 35 weeks today according to ultrasound. When I went upstairs, I had a steady stream of clear liquid. I wiped, changed underwear, went to lay down in bed. I was shocked when I had another significant amount of fluid come out. I stood up and had this large gush of clear liquid. It continued to stream for about 10 minutes and I still have a little bit of fluid coming out. I have not been having contractions, but since the fluid came out, the baby has become significantly lower. Do you think that my water has broke even though I have no pain? What do I do if it has? This is my first and I am at a loss right now. Please help. Thank you.

My daughter passed away 9 years ago. She was 7 years old. I have 3 other children who are 12, 10, & 8. I have their pictures on the wall in a grouping of 4. I was wondering if and when I should make it a grouping of 3. I don't want to forget my first daughter, but obviously her picture is the only one that doesn't change every year. I do have her picture in other rooms of the house. I'm just wondering about the one grouping of the kids

I really like this name for a little girl and would have the nickname be Kenzie or Kensi, something like that. Mae would be the middle name of course. What do you think? I know it's a place, I'm not talking about the place, I want to know what you think of it as a name. For example, there's London, Paris, Cairo, Asia as names as well. This is my version of one of these names. Let me know what you think! Thanks guys!

Ok Im having a hard time deciding, and I wanted some input. I love the name Grace, but I cant think of a middle name that sounds "right" so I started thinking about Gracelynn and not giving a middle name, as her last name will start with an L and I just thought seemed a little much to give Lynn as a middle name instead of combining the two.

Soooo
Gracelynn
or
Grace Lynn???

And any other names you might suggest along with it??

I'm really concerned, he cant seem to remember simple things, such as what he had for breakfast, what tv show he watched, or what he played. Or is it easier for him to answer "can't remember" to all this questions?

Every other generation twins run on my moms side, which means the generation would skip me, but obviously I could still have two eggs release since it runs through my greatgrandmaw, then my mom, right? Well my main question is.. I am on birth control, but if Icould this possiblity of releasing two eggs actually get me pregnant even though I am on birth control? Like could it give me a heavier chance of getting pregnant on bc since there could be more than one that might release?

I have recently noticed the following things on t.v. and was wondering what your opinions are on these types of things:

a women stuck her 3 week old baby girl in the microwave oven and cooked it from the inside out. the baby's mother has been arrested and charged. if she did do this she will be sentenced to death.

a young mother fed her 2 month old baby 3 oz. of vodka. she claims that the vodka was in a water bottle in the car and she did not smell it before she mixed it with the baby formula. the baby became intoxicated with a blood alcohol level around 3.0. there has been no arrests made in this case.

thanks for your opinions ! :)

What can we do for our children to give them the best chance for the future?

2006-12-10 15:50:31 · 11 answers · asked by PinkPrincessNerd 3 in Parenting

I'm twenty and my husband is twenty three. I was 17 when we bought the house. We have two children and live in a cape cod style house. It's 1 1/2 stories. It's a great neighborhood, but I think that it will be small for growing children. Our house is on 2 lots, and the neighborhood is growing,they are knocking down the older houses and building 250,000 to 350,000 dollar houses. I want to know what is a good age for us to buy a nicer two story house. What is a better age to buy a home 25, 28? We can afford a 1,000 mortgage a month. My parents bought their house at age 41. What would look better for us age wise for a mortgage lender to take us seriously. I have new credit and no problems. We have a great apr 5.75. Should we do a 40 yr term to save money? Or what? I don't know. Please help! Serious answers
