I went in today for my first ultrasound at 6w4d because of bad cramping (turned out to be cyst on one of my ovaries) and Dr. said I had the largest yoke sac she had ever seen. What is the significance of that? I can't find any info on that in any of my books.

To circumcise or not to circumcise. I'm 31weeks 2days pregnant the doctor ask me if I was thinking or wanted to circumcise my baby after he was born. I'm really not sure what is the best for him if to circumcise or not to. My mother-in-law is against it and my mother supports it. What are your thoughts about it? Do you think infant should have a circumcision? Why or why not?

I think it is horrible because the child will be raised in a abnormal way whether the child likes it or not.

My daughter is 19, and lives at home while attending college. Her first year was less than stellar (in polite terms!), and we told her that if that continued we would withdraw any financial support for college. Generally, she is a good kid, but lacks motivation. She has always worked part-time, but in November accepted a full-time position, and just informed me that she is planning to only go to school part-time. (This to me is her way of saying - my fall grades are gonna be bad!). I am pretty angry about this. She lives in my home, we support her, and she just up and decides to go to part-time? We were not happy about the full-time work, and told her that from the get go. I just think she is wasting an opportunity for an education, and it's not like she "needs" the money - she blows it on clothes and shoes!
Am I right to be ticked off or is she right to say she is an adult and can make her own decisions? (Granted in my book adults have BILLS!!!)

My daughter turns three in March and since we're going to Disney right after, we can't throw a big party. I thought of throwing a small princess party at our house this year and only inviting a few toddlers her age, their parents, and grandma and grandpa. Is it rude not to invite other adult family members and their older children? (we have ALOT of family on both sides and we invited them all last year. We also had it at the skating rink so it was big enough). So what would you do? Please Help!

Went to doctor's appointment... Doctor kinda got me scared because for the last three weeks or so I have been "under" measuring... Well they did an ultrasound and she is really really REALLY low... I mean the woman doing the ultrasound had a hard time getting a measurment of her head becasue she was soooooo low... Another thing... I lost my mucus plug this morning?

What do you think about this? Labor soon?

my husband and i recently found out we were having our first child after a long wait. While its all very exciting, its also heartbreaking because after knowing about the baby for a month (im 13 weeks) hes deploying to iraq for a year. This means the baby will be 5 months old when he returns. I want him to feel like hes a part of this pregnancy and the babys life even though hes so far away. Any ideas? Anything you can think of would be helpful

Hes 21 mo old. Hes not underfed, he hasnt lost any weight, hes a finicky eater like most kids. He whines constently though and I cant figure out what is wrong. Maybe its nothing but his belly button just looks weird to me. Dctor doesnt see anything wrong. And my son is constanly sticky his finger in it and making it all red. Could it be possible Im just being paranoid?

Okay the past two months I have been getting my period but it has been coming a couple of days early and has been real slimey. Last month it lasted 2 days and it started off like a brown slime and then went to a light red slime then I spotted and then it was gone. I just started my period again 2 days early and it looks like burgendy slime. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy but I have 2 neg pregnancy test. I got a dr.'s apt for jan 4th to get on the pill if I'm not preg but I have never had periods like this (slime) So I was wondering if you have had periods while you were pregnant were they like slime? And were they extremely light? I usually have 5 or 6 day periods. Please Help!

Hi everyone, I know that some people don't feel that a 13 year old should still be having birthday celebrations, right? But I love celebrating it. All these years, I've done something special for my son. I've thrown him a surprise party (when he turned 10). I took him and his friends to play lazer tag on his 11th birthday and I took them all once again Paintballing when he turned 12. Now that he is turning 13, I don't know what to do. I have ran out of ideas. His friends all love his birthday and to be honest, so do I. I love seeing them have fun together cause they are all good kids. I am friends with all their moms and they trust me to take them wherever I choose. Please give me some good ideas ..... Thanks

my brother keeps on wearing his boxer shorts around the house, and sometimes you can like see everything, even though my mom says for him to be considerate of me! Do other girls have the same problem?

About 4 weeks ago me and my guy friend got a little carried away and had sex. My period was spotting however (I have a irregular period and it can last for 2 weeks all the way up to 4 weeks long).And it came on light after sex then the next 2 days it was light but that is not the norm.and it went of 2 weeks after that. But he did the withdrawl method but when he pulled out it was only a little and that wasn't so usuall.My stomach has been cramping I sleep longer hours and my breast are very sore, and I can't sleep on my stomach anymore.Can I be pregnant?

My 20 weeks scan is next week and I really want to find out the sex. Its not so as I can but pink/blue clothes etc, but because Im not really bonding with this baby as of yet due to having a difficult pregnancy, and I feel that if I knew the sex and could stop calling it "it", it would help me bond, which I am desperate to do. However, my partner doesn't want to know the sex and his family keep making comments about "doing it the old fashioned way" and "shouldn't be finding out the sex" etc. I may be oversensitive but its beginnig to upset me and I feel like im doing something wrong and being ganged up on. I feel like, although it is both our baby, i am the one carrying it, suffering badly for it and I should be able to know if i want, without being accused of being selfish! Has anyone else had a similar experience?
