Do you prop pillows behind you, or have a special pillow or something to give back support?

I usually nurse laying down, but there are times when I want to sit up, and I need good support for my back.

Best answer gets the 10 points.

My son is eight months old. He currently eats stage one and two baby food. He eats baby food once a day, for lunch. Other than that he only gets formula. We are about to start him on a sippy cup. In a few months he'll be completely off formula and eating only solids. He's my first child, so I really have no idea what I'm doing. lol I'm about to start giving him baby food twice a day, for lunch and dinner. We've tried giving him crackers since he has all four of his front teeth in, but he won't swallow them. When he does swallow them he will literally throw it back up to keep himself from swallowing it. What should I do to help him figure out swallowing solids? And what other solids could I feed him now?

He is an alcoholic and I'm horrified of him because of his violent temper. He hasn't been there at all through the pregnancy.

Who comes up with this crap? a mass of tissue is a tumor. Since when is it that a hearbeat and a brain function and the ablility to move and react to sound and light what a tumor does? I just don't understand how "it's a fact that until a baby can survive on it's own" that "it's just a mass of tissue". Whombever came up with this term is sadly mistaken a cancer for a life! Who agrees with this? Medical doctors aknowledge a fetus as a living being. Some doctors don't believe in God at all. But they do believe in life. It's RESPECT! How did this happen? When did this happen?

I am pro-choice. When I hear debates on the issue, for me, there is no changing my mind, and no turning my thoughts. My opinion will never even budge. What the Christians' call evidence, or nearly any prop-lifer Christian, for that matter, calls evidence, is themselves reading verses from the bible. How is this evidence, again? It isn't. However, I have eveidence. Many pro-choicers do. Medical facts. Like these: The fetus is not a human, just a mass of tissue, let alone the fact that, not only is the fetus not alive, but you have to have an abortion before, at, or around 4 months of being pregnant. The fetus isn't actually "Alive" until it can survive without the mother, at around 24 to 25 weeks. Every child should be wanted, but most aren't. Would you rather the woman get an abortion, or have the unwanted child and abuse or neglect it? Aborting unwanted children reduces the number of abused children. The number of abortions is relatively small because of how many people get the courts to make sure that no one gets an abortion. Nobody has the right to impose their morals on me, or anyone else, for that matter. A woman should be able to control her own body. Abortion must be kept legal, especially for all the rape and incest pregnancies. If abortion is outlawed women will be forced to go to back-alley abortion clinics. We need to remember that we are overpopulating the planet and running out of world resorces. So why do you agree, disagree with abortion? Do you have evidence? PLease don't use bible verses as "proof"...thanks! It's just opinions, remember!

Happy holidays all!!

P.S. Remember, not everyone celebrates Christmas!! There are other holidays too!!

Since "Snowball" closed the question before I responded to this:

"Brenda B, you're an HIV Caseworker, and you know that condoms break, and you see the reports from the CDC--and you did not circumsize your 3 boys?? Family Services should aresst you for Child Abuse"

Um, yes condoms break but they can break whether a boy is circumcized or not. What exactly is your point here? What is your argument? If condoms can break, why circumcize then? Do you think that if a circ boy's condom breaks then his risk is lower than an intact boy? You really need to educate yourself. You are really blind about the reality of the disease.

And I should be arrested for not circumcizing my boys? Why is that? I'm neglecting and abusing my sons because they're not circumcized? Hmm..i didn't think that leaving my son perfectly intact was abusive. Tell me why I should be arrested. I'd love to know.

She went to her check-up last week, and since we think the baby should be at 13 weeks, she was expecting to hear the babies heatbeat. Unfortunately, I had to be at work during this, so I didn;t hear about it until that evening. The nurse practitioner said that it was nothing to worry about, but of course, my wife's pregnant and is worried about it. I love my wife more than I can say, but I'm just not sure how to help.

My brother's ex had at least 3 abortions while they were together and I'm not sure about the actual count before they were together. But I think that waiting until the pt. that you are pg. is the wrong time to think about what to do about preventing pg. I think if you are mature enough to have sex, you should be mature enough to think about birth control before sex.


I am not judging those who have made the choice to have an abortion, I am asking about those who abuse it.

Im so confused...
basically i came on my period on 3rd november. my cycle varies from 28-33 days. I slept with my fiance on 27-28november. I was due on my period around 5th december. Now its the 22nd dec and i have nothing. No spotting..some cramping feelings..but no other symptom of pregnancy (i urinate a lot..but i also drink loads water so i cant really account for that)

Iv taken 8 home pregnancy tests (first response) since i missed my period. I didnt take any before i missed it because i saw absolutely no point. They were all negative. I had blood tests done to measure the exact quantity of Hcg in my body- this was done 10 days after my missed period. The results showed i contained only 1 mIU. Hence negative.

But still no period! Im going crazy!

Does anyone have a clue about this?!

I even tested today- with first response again. still negative - im so fed up of them i hate the toilet now

Does anything come out of your body during ovulation? or just your period?
