Pregnancy & Parenting - 13 December 2006

I have been put in charge of naming four babies that have recently come into the churches care. I have four pretty good names picked out for the babies, all of them girls. Aurore, Rose, Essence, and Sage. Sage means wise, Essence (Essie) means pure, Rose means beautiful, and Aurore means dawn. The girl I'm planning to name Essie has beautiful dark red curls and green eyes. Sage has dark hair and green eyes and the twins, Aurore and Rose both have blonde hair and blue eyes. What do you think of the names and do you have any other suggestions?

If you went to a women's tea, banquet, or convention and when you arrived you found out that the featured speaker was eight months pregnant--would that bother you at all? Do you think that the speaker should have cancelled the speaking engagements that were in the end of her pregnancy when she found out she was pregnant or do you think it was good that she still came and spoke? Would her pregnancy affect how you received what she was saying? Do you think it makes any difference or not if a Women's speaker is pregnant or not?
Thanks so much for your input!

My son is a straight A (kind of a know it all) student and hasn't had a problem up to this point. He's gifted and everyone has told me that there would come a time when the other kids would start to dislike him. He came home today covered in mud because some kid pushed him down....twice. (My son admitted that he was being annoying and saying the kids name over and over again until the kid pushed him). My question is this....how do I handle this? I told my son to just stop bothering this kid and stay away from him. Any suggestions? (don't worry I'm capable of ignoring the stupid comments, lol) :) Thanks everyone.

I was really happy at the beginning of the year- I was getting straight A's, and really happy all the time, and then now everything is going downhill. I've gained 10 lbs, but still have the chest of a 5th grader. All my friends are being bitchy, the last guy who told someone he liked me was in kindergarten- although I don't think there is something terrubly wrong with me. My grades have dropped, my room is a mess, and I'm too tired to do anything about it. Right now I'm waiting two days until I can sleep for the three weeks of winter break. Everyone is off having the time of their life, and I'm depressed, in my room, writing on yahoo answers. Does anyone else have these times, and what do you do to get out of them?

What are my chances of having a blonde-haired child? My husband is white with dirty blonde hair (his mother has blonde hair and his father has dark brown hair). I have jet black hair and so do my parents. All his siblings have brown hair. All my siblings have black hair. We do not have any children yet.

WHat are some symptoms you would experience if something happened to the fetus late in pregnancy? Would you automatically go into labor or could you continue to carry an unliving fetus? Im just curious. Thanks.

okay i am 39 weeks preggie. I went to the doctor yesterday and he said that the baby is ready to go we are just waiting on my body to start contracting or my water to break. well all last night my stomach has been tightening up alot and getting really hard. i don't know if it is my baby though b/c the doc said that he is a well sized baby so when he moves he hurts me. At times the pain will get so bad and sharp that it will stop me dead in my tracks for a min. and yesterday i went walking for 30 mins like the doc told me to do everyday and afterwards i was hurting so bad i was walking so funny. i couldn't even walk without tears wanting to come to my eyes. so i am basically asking should i go to the hospital and get checked out if the pains countinue. they are all the way across my lower abdomin and sometimes i will get a dullin pain in my back but it don't bother me so much (either one of the pains). I JUST WANT TO GO IN LABOR ALREADY IS THIS IT?????

I am 5 weeks pregnant, I am in my mid 20's, very healthy and this is my first pregnancy. My doctor said he is not worried about my pregnancy and if I do miscarry then it is nothing I could have prevented anyway.

This is our first baby and I am worried I will miscarry because 1 out of 4 pregnancies end in miscarriages. I want to be happy about the baby and be positive that I will carry to full term.

I am not enjoying my pregnancy as much as I should be because I feel I shouldn’t get too excited just in case I miscarry my baby.

How do I deal with this?

I am 8 weeks pregnant and excited. well trying to be. My boyfriend is excited and so is his mother. She just will not let us have a moment to share with eachother. At the time being, he lives 2.5 hours away and i live down here by his mother. This is exciting news and we are want to share it with people, with eachother, let it sink in alittle that we are having a bundle of joy, but she beats us to it. She is already trying to put claim on everything and she is stressing me out. She is the kind of woman who wants to be a friend to her 2 kids and not a mother. I am 24 and have been with him for 5 years. So this is not something new. I know she is excited but it is getting really hard to deal with. Whether we involve her in things or not, she always somehow finds a way in. I just don't know what to do anymore, she just needs to lay off alittle. Can someone please let me know if you ever had problems with your mother-in-law or soon to be mother-in-law? I don't want to be fighting with her.

Here's my story and question in a nutshell. My husband I were trying to conceive and found out in May of this year we were pregnant. Sadly the pregnancy ended in miscarriage in July. What really made it hard was I saw the heartbeat at 7wks. Since my hubby wasn't able to go then, he went along with me at 10wks. He was so excited he was going to see the heartbeat too. Instead we found out the baby had died at 8 wks. We were heartbroken. We are again pregnant, going on week 13 , since I had a miscarriage my Dr. wants me in for a ultrasound every 3wks, and everytime I go, I have not been able to get my husband to go along with me. I again heard the heartbeat alone. I've tried talking to him but he blows me off saying he'll go to the next one, but he acts like he doesn't even care about this baby. I don't know if he's just scared or what. Any ideas on how to get him more involved with this pregnancy? Even the ultrasound pics I bring home aren't working. I feel so alone in this.
