Pregnancy & Parenting - 18 December 2006

I'm being induced with my second baby on Wednesday, (5 days overdue) as i have high blood pressure. How long does it usually take from when they use the gel until birth.

I know everyone is different but i'd like to get a rough idea, I have had a membrane sweep and have been getting braxton hicks quite a lot.

I have a 16 month old that wont walk yet!!! Its driving me crazy with both concern and fustration because I KNOW he could walk if he tried. The reason I know he can/could walk is that when me and his dad work with him we will hold on to him as he starts to walk and then let go. He will take a few steps on his own and then throw himself to the ground when he realizes he's walking by himself and say "NO!!!". I HAVE talked to his doctor who said to give him a little more time. It makes me so sad to see all these other little ones walking that are so much younger than him.

Okay i know that you can start feeling pregnancy symptoms after a few days of concieving!! I've been havin symptoms for the last 2 weeks! I know how my period feels and i know my symptoms of getting it! My tempature has been high and i've been sweating when its freezing outside and in my house! I have had light cramping dizziness and lower backaches and now my boobs are tender... I dont know how this could be a sign of my period i know my symptoms right before i get it and i never cramp or get lower back pains before my period! Is there a chance of pregnancy or is it just a different start of my period!

My fiance and I are in love with his nephew. Hes an amazing 4 year old boy, who doesn't get the attention he deserves. We watch him every weekend and his mom cares more about her boyfriend than her son. And here she is, pregnant again. I just know he will be left in the dark when that baby comes. The father is in prison, and will be for who knows how much longer. I want custody of him and i don't know how to go about that. I want him to have the attention and love he deserves. What do i do???

I want my significant other to think im still pretty. Im currently almost 8 months pregnant i dont feel very pretty. The other day we got in a tiny arguement and his main point "You dont dress up for me anymore" That was his main problem with his ex. I dont want our relationship to go down that road. What can i do to explain to him that i dont feel pretty? What can i do to make myself pretty for him?

"Stop kicking me in the ribs, kid." "Only a few more days and I swear to God I'm prying you out with Joe's walking staff!!" "How am I going to lose the baby-weight I've gained?" "Stupid, uncomfortable donkey." "If only I could get a mayonnaise, pickle, and peanut butter sandwich." "That damn-fool husband of mine better not be trying to skimp on our hotel room and he better NOT think he is watching the game this Sunday!!" "I am NOT sleeping with the sheep tonight. Last night was enough." "I need a foot rub."
"I should have married a lawyer instead of a carpenter. I'd be on a horse right now." "I sure hope the kid's head is round and not all pointy and weird." "I wish Joseph would stop bitching about my mother." "I'm just looking forward to finally being able to have a glass of wine with dinner again." "Why doesn't he stop and ask for directions?" "I sure hope swaddling cloth holds the moisture in..." "Men NEVER ask for directions...they know EVERYTHING!!" "Ouch!! Stop kicking..."

A very close frien of mine has for the last 18 months been a frequent user of cocaine. She is now 5 months pregnant and i have just found out she is still using. Im so torn as to what to do...
Do i confront her and try to help her or do i just ignore it and see it as none of my business?
im so dissapointed in her.xxx

For ouer first pregnancy we waited until 12 weeks and it was just horrible! I was so sick and tired and felt all alone cos no one knew why i was feeling so terrible. I also hated having to be so sneaky all the time. Do you think the benefit of not having people know about a miscaraige (if that is a benefit???) outweighs eveything else? I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my second and not sure if i can do the 12 week wait again! What are your opinions?

Lately my neice hasn't been feeling well(she's better just got a runny nose and went to the doc), well lately since then when someone tells her nicely and gently not to do something when she's into something she's not supposed to be, she screams and cries. Is that normal?

Also she's been hitting herself in the face if she don't get her way. Weird.

My girlfriend slept with someone else the week after she finished menstruating, claiming they used protection. I slept with her a week before she was to start menstruating again, and did not use protection. She claims the child is mine and she missed her period which told her she was pregnant and a test confirmed it.

My question is how soon should I get a paternity test and what is the likelihood of the other guy being the father vs me?
