She is my girlfriend, we are not married yet.......although I have told her even before this that I love her and would marry her. Sorry for the confusion. What confuses me is why she "plays pregnant" around me and friends of ours. She will hold her belly, not drink, eat right, and do everything you should do to stay healthy during the pregnancy, I mean she even sleeps on her left side now. And now she wants an abortion, I am confused by all this.

What can I do to make her understand that girls should not go around with dirty clothes, unbrushed teeth,musky underarms, skipping bathes and her hair uncombed?It's like she just don't care. She is heavy and I tell her , if you are going to heavy that's one thing, but to be heavy and nasty is terrible for a girl....it doesn't work!!! I'm not like that...I don't know where she gets it from. How can I turn a moth into a beautiful butterfly?

The first time I got pregnant I told my mom first, she got pissed. I made her tell my dad. All he said was "Oh well" and didn't speak to me the whole nine months. No lecture on that one, he just ignored me the whole time. The second time I got pregnant is when the lectures started, he made me feel like sh*t. The first one was unplanned, the second one was planned and this one was unplanned. Yes I do believe in marriage and yes I do believe in birth control. I was onbirth control. I'm just not ready for marriage. I love my kids and my parents love my kids, they just think they need to control me still. I'm not ready for my dad to ignore me and I'm not ready for my dad to lecture me in the hospital after I have this child, i'm too emotional for the whole thing. There, that is the story basically in a nut shell.

I am a successful Real Estate Officer, I make enough money to support my wife and our family. Her last period was the 7th of October. We found out she was pregnant on the 13 of November. It is now the 29th of December and she wants to get an abortion, which I am totally against NOW. I told her that I would support her decision when we first found out, but she decided to keep it and even made me tell my family. Now she wants to have an abortion. I don't know what to do, my mind is in disarray. One day she wants the baby and the next she doesn't. I am breaking down emotionally and I dont know what else I can do.

I have a full-time job (office job with no physical labor) and am financially supporting my husband while he is in graduate school. When the time comes for delivery I will have about 2 weeks worth of sick and vacation time built up. I get up to 12 weeks of UNPAID leave but unfortunately we can't go a single day without my full-time paycheck. We also don't make enough now to start saving up money before the baby comes (at least not enough to cover costs while I'm out). I am scared of going back to work so soon. I know everyone says I'll be exhausted and I need to bond with the baby. But what do you do when you financially don't have a choice? Is it even possible to go back to work so soon after giving birth?

I am almost 23 and he will be 30 next week. I graduate in the beginning of May, so if I get pregnant I would still have a few more months before the birth. We have been married close to 2 years and I am ready to start a family NOW, but he wants to wait 5 more months. It is driving me crazy!!! I am very happy with my husband, but I don't feel like our marriage will be complete until we have a child. What should I do?

I have been breastfeeding my one-month old son, and in the last couple of days, his poo has become green. I know about the foremilk-hindmilk inbalance, but I don't know how to fix it. He nurses from one side only each feeding for about 10 minutes. We're doing the same thing we've been doing so I don't understand why his poo is green all of a sudden. He has a slight cold; could that be the cause?

I am looking for a child car seat and an umbrella stroller. Used merchandise is fine as long as it is clean. Any merchandise would be appreciated but those are the two that I truly need. I have a six month daughter and live in a county where I can't find alot. We have a low income so anyone willing to let me know of a site where donated or free merchandise is available it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from someone soon!

Ok, so I'm pregnant with my third child. I'm with the same guy, not married (although I don't think that really matters), and my youngest is 7 months old, oldest is 5 years old. My dad is a preacher and I'd rather not hear all the lectures he feels he needs to say. I'm just having a hard time telling them. Any imput would be appreciated.

I already have the “What to expect when you are expecting” series, what else was useful for you?

What books on parenting have been worth buying for you?

What about pregnancy books? Which ones could you not live without?

My husband and I are first time parents and need some direction! Thanks!

Right now he is only taking his bottle and sometimes during the middle of the night he cries for a bottle and I would have to stay up until he sleeps to get the bottle so he doesnt leave it in his mouth and cause problems for his 4 front teeth.

I am 6 weeks into my pregnancy and I get so sick all of the time. Not just throwing up but migranes as well. When does this all end? Or is this going to last throughout the pregnancy?

gone from 5wks/5days last week to only 6wk/1day this week. The h/b however is normal at 117-118 bpm. Has anyone had this experience? The doctor said it is "iffy" but not conclusive. She has seen these go either way.
