Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 December 2006

Im about 6 weeks pregnant now and Ive been watching "A Baby Story"...I think that having a baby in one of those birthing tubs is interesting. I dont know if its right for me, but I am certainly thinking about it. Any advice or personal experience?

I married my husband 2 years ago, we have been together for 5 very happy years. His mother disliked me from day 1 because I "stole her son" away from her.

He is her only child and she hasn't had a boyfriend in years. Luckily, since we married she has "tried to embrace" me and is no longer mean to me.

I am pregnant with our first child and when she found out she kept crying from actual happiness! She said she was so happy that she was going to be a grandma and knew I would be a wonderful mother.

Do you think we will finally have something to bond over? I am not expecting us to be best friends, but it would be nice for us to maybe shop for the baby together or finally have something in common. We have very different personalities so we don't hang out.

I'm tired of being treated like a freak because my wife and I cannot have kids. I find families in public to be rude, pushy and generally a nuisance to be around. I think most people have kids because it is "the normal thing to do" and put no thought into it. They just want the excuse to buy that gas-guzzling SUV. I find soccer moms to be about the most annoying people on Earth. I am SO tired of being asked if I have kids or when we plan to - our reproduction habits are NOT anyone's business! Why do you have to have children to be considered "grown up"? Does anyone understand that it HURTS my wife when they constantly bug her about it and/or flaunt the fact that they have kids? People with kids are NO more important than me!

My brother and his girlfriend just delivered a beautiful baby girl. The baby was healthy, thank God. But there was drugs found in the babys system. Since the family was contacted by Child Protective Services we have not heard from the Mom of the baby or my brother. Did they run or is it procedure to arrest them. I am in another state and I am not getting info from my family. I am furious and I think that she should be arrested and charged with child endangerment.

I have been losing cloudy mucus for the last 2 or so weeks. Today I went into the dr. for my 37 week appointment. The dr. checked my cervix I am 3cm dialated and 70% effaced. and a -2 position. About 2 hours after this I was at home and went to the bathroom (Sorry to be graphic) when I wiped I got the cloudy mucus again but this time it had bright red blood streaks. The next time I went to the BR I got a blood clot type matter, still bright red. Could this be the mucus plug?

It is not very bad, but I believe it is painful, PERIOD. I had it gone and now it is back. I've tried Bag Balm, corn starch, and Desitin and it STILL came back. I realize this could be from teething, but it HAS to be very irritating. PLEASE HELP!

I feel like im not enjoying him any more coz he is such hard work.....i dont know what im doing wrong and im dreading having to cope with two...will it get any better?? is it normal for babies to be like this when they used to be so well behaved?

My friend is 24, she met this guy and married him after a few months of dating and has regretted it ever since. They have been married a little over a year and are more like roommates than lovers, but they remain married due to their vows before God.

I recently became pregnant with my 1st baby and my friend confided in me that she knows their marriage isn’t the best, but she would like a child out of it anyways. She said her husband is a good man and would be an excellent father, so she intends on having a baby with him soon. She said she could see them divorcing one day or remaining married out of convenience too, she says she is not sure of their future together.

I told her I thought she needed to really think this through, but she always does what she wants anyway.

What do you think about this? Do you think a lot of women do what my friend plans to do?

She thinks she can give him candy and cookies for breakfast and our son is only 2. To me this is the time that he needs to be molded and tought right from wrong, but if he throws a fit she gives him candy to shut him up. He doesn't want to listen to me or his father anymore. She also wants to have him come to her house and spend the night every other night... What do I do??
