I had my first child almost 11 months ago and my husband really wants to have another baby. My first pregnancy brought on a heart condition called PAT that I have to have surgery for in a couple months. It causes me to have a fast heartrate at times for no reason. My doctor says the surgery has a 95% success rate and thinks it would be ok to have more kids, but I am scared. I also hate to admit it but I did not enjoy being pregnant. I loved my baby of course but pregnancy just made me feel physicaly miserable for 9 months. I would go through it again to have another child but I am terrified that it would bring the heart condition back that has made my life a living hell. Has anyone else had pregnacy's with heart conditions or pregnancy's after heart surgery? I would like any advice I can get. Thanks!

Hi. My wife's pregnant with our fourth child, which we know will be a boy. We have three sons already (Matthew, 10, Mark, 7, and Luke, almost 3).

Can you help us decide on a name for our new son.

I was watching the news with my 5 year old and my ex husband's father in law to be ( not sure if there married or not) was on the news charged with two felony counts of predatory criminal sexual assault of a child and my daughter was like that's her ( ex's new wife or wife to be) daddy's mom

Do I have the right to petition the courts for my ex husband not to bring her anywhere where he will be, my ex says I have no right to or to be upset..

Any helpful suggestions would be wonderful and thanks

Our son is now 6 weeks old. We started breast feeding and supplementing with formula and he was eating every 4 hours. A few weeks ago, he started eating (formula - my milk supply decreased) 4 ounces and wanting to eat again 2-3 hours later. So, we got some rice cereal and started adding a tsp to his bottles.

Now, I'm a little worried because I didn't realize that we apparently started this way too early. I am going to put a stop to this ASAP, but am worried that we may have done something to harm him by starting so soon. Are food allergies the only concern I should be worried about?

she's trying to get pregnant but won't stop smoking. She has one daughter now and smoked through that pregnancy and had some complications. She then got pregnant again and had a miscarriage at 6-8 weeks. Then she was pregnant a 3rd time and had a miscarriage at 5 months because the placenta was peeling off of the uterin wall (cause linked to smoking). Well she's still smoking and wants more kids. Her husband also smokes. It really bothers me.

I am only 4 weeks and the risk of miscarriage is so high during the first trimester. Like most other expectant parents, we are absolutely thrilled to be pregnant, but want to know what we can to do keep our baby as safe and healthy as possible.

5.5lbs is considered small for gestation age in a term baby, this can be a sign of MANY health problems and certainly is not normal.

"Babies born under 2.5kg (5.5 pounds) are considered
low birth weight (LBW) babies.

A healthy birth weight is very important for a good start in life. Low birth weight babies are at a high risk of experiencing health and developmental problems. They are born either preterm (less than 37 completed weeks of gestation) or small for gestational age (SGA - less than 10th percentile for gestational age) or both. When a mother is healthy, she is more likely to have a healthy baby.

Low Birth Weight Changes Everything.
LBW babies can have life-long health problems
LBW is the main reason babies die in the first year of life
In Canada, approximately 6% of all births are LBW babies. The costs to care for the immediate needs of theses babies, and to provide the long-term care and special attention that some will need throughout life are extremely high :

My 12 month old just recently started feeding himself. He does not chew very good and has a tendency to swallow things whole. What are some foods that I could let him eat that he wouldn't be able to choke as easy on? He's no longer interested in baby food and I want to be sure he's getting adequate nutrition.

My g/f was racing against my friend. He lost and was mad because he lost to a girl in a porsche. He walked up to her and hit her. I was pissed. She wanted to hit him back but instead I pulled her aside and helped her calm down. I then told him that no friend of mine hits my g/f. He was all like bros b4 ho's. Was I wrong to take my g/f home leaving my friend standing there?? Was I wrong to not let her hit him back?? Parents would you have been glad I helped your daughter and not my friend??
HELP!!

I have known this spoiled 5-year old girl who always gets into trouble but her parents don't believe in discipline. She has punched me on the stomach, 2x (im pregnant) and hit me with her fist on the head real hard. (Im the aunt.) When my husband finally got her and her mom, she started crying and said, "There's something wrong with my head. Its always telling me to do bad things. We have to go to the doctor to have it fixed." This is a 5-year old girl...and do you think she's lying or she's really telling the truth?
