Pregnancy & Parenting - 31 December 2006

i had my nipples pierced a year ago.
i dont have any kids and i am not pregnant, but when the time comes, will i be able to breast feed?
will the milk come out properly?
i know i would have to take my rings out for hygiene and safety reasons, so will the holes close up in time.
i have heard that some women who had their nipples pierced can often let too much milk out of their nipple because there are more holes in it and that the baby might choke on all the milk... is this true?

I'm 5 months pregnant, and my ex flip flops whether he wants to be involved or not. At first he wanted me to get an abortion because having a kid would ruin his chances of ever being with a friend of mine. (Classy guy, huh?) Then when I told him I was keeping it, he yelled at me then hung up on me. Now, he won't answer my questions about his family medical history, or even things as lame as if he got the christmas gift I sent him. His parents want to be involved and have been nice to me, but I don't feel comfortable about my baby being without me at their house or in his care. He drinks almost every night, smokes pot like they are cigarettes and has (I'm not kidding) 4+ poisonous snakes stored at his house. I wish I could afford to support the baby on my own, but unfortunately, california is the most expensive state to live in. While I am working on getting out of here, how should I go about getting child support for the baby, while not letting him be alone with it?

I just found out that I am pregnant. My boyfriend of quite some time now is very excited about it. I know your thinking of my age right about now and yes, that's what scares me the most! My boyfriend & I are getting married soon so It's not losing him that I'm worrying about. We've talked about kids and a life together and It's something that I want more than anything, only I'm worried we're not ready financially! Which quite frankly we aren't and I keep telling him that but he assures me that we can make it "through the storm". Part of me belives this but the other part is just scattered right now! There's no doubt in my mind that I'm not going to keep this baby. Abortion is just out of the question. And adoption, I'd regret in my future. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if there's any other young mothers or any others who have gone through this little "scared" phaze I'm having!! I just need to be set at ease...

What are the chances one breast will quit producing milk?

My son favors my left breast and is doing so more and more. He will fuss and cry at my right breast sometimes and then immediatly take the left one when offered!

When pumping today (for the 1st time) I was able to get almost 3 oz from my left breast and only a few drops from my right.

I know my right breast makes milk, cause I've seen milk in his mouth while nursing on the right, heard him swallowing but maybe it doesn't make as much?

Is this a problem?
Should I nurse him on that side exculsivly for a day or two and pump on the left? Would that help?

I've searched that breastfeeding site laleche or whatever and couldnot find anything.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (AP) -- Drivers swerved cars and trucks into other lanes to avoid a 3-year-old boy, wearing only a diaper and T-shirt, who was playing along a busy highway after wandering away from home while his mother slept, police said.

Some motorists stopped along Interstate 465 on the city's west side Saturday to take care of the boy until officers arrived, the Indiana State Police said.

"I looked up and I seen this little ... boy running down the middle of the slow lane in the interstate. I just could not believe what I was seeing," said Troy Crady, one of those who stopped to help.

The boy, Damon Dyer, was unscathed as at least a half-dozen cars and a tractor-trailer rig swerved into other lanes to avoid him. Temperatures were in the mid 50s as the boy ran around barefooted.

We have been trying to get pregnant for a couple of months now. For the past week or 2, I have just had a funny feeling, but trying not to think to much into it (I have done that, and that does nothing but lead to disappointment). But, today, i was in the store and my legs just started to cramp, they almost felt like i was standing on them all day (but it was only a short time). No matter what i did it wouldn't go away until i sat down for a while. Then i got a bloody nose a couple hours later out of nowhere. Just out of curiousity i just started checking this out on the internet, and it said that it might be a sign of pregnancy. Has anybody else heard of this, or am i thinking too much into it??

I am 25 weeks pregnant right now, and I can always feel an arm/leg/head/butt through my belly... I was only 120 pre-preggo weight so I don't know if that factors in there... I have been gaining like normal with normal ultrasounds, but I can only carry in one half my uterus...

I am wondering if feeling these limbs like this, this early is normal? Other than carrying in half the uterus, everything is great, and the uterus is stretching fine too. I have an OB appt Friday, I'll be asking the DR then. Thanks for any input!

My parents adopted me 13 yrs ago and are trying to adopt again.They'd be happy with one but still I kinda want them to adopt twins triplets or so on.If anyone on here is having more than 1 baby and wants to go through an open adoption email me wvcountrygirl_1993@yahoo.com
THey're going to adopt through an open adoption (no agency just lawyers and parents) if they can find a birthmother.And no adopting without an agency is NOT ILLEGAL. I was just curious on what the odds of finding a birthmother having more than 1 baby and wants to put them up for adoption.They would even take two of the three if that is what the birthparents want.And please no answers like its sweet what your doing but you have to go through an agency bla bla bla.I know what im talking about.

Eveyone thinks he should be eating solids which I am trying to do everyday. I have made chicken cutlets, turkey mash potatoes pasta, etc... I mash all up, so it is pureed. My son is spitting the food out like he is having a hard time with it. When I feed him the stage 3 jar foods, he devours the whole jar and a jar of vegatables. He is in the 70 percentile for weight, so I assume he is getting enough food between the jar foods and milk. Every few days I try and introduce solid food to him in hopes he will eventually begin to eat it. So many people are like, "I can't believe he is not eating real food." He just started to get his teeth at 11 months, so I am wondering if this would be the case. I am just concerned that he is not developing like a 1 year old should be since I feel like the only mom who's baby will not eats solids at the age of 1. Any suggestions of what I can do to get him to eat the solids?

I am 27 weeks pregnant and i always get these pains on my right side down below my wasteline. I know of round ligament pains, but i have had this pain for about a week straight now. It wont go away! I always had pains in this spot that would usually go away for an hour but this time it won't go away. it makes it hard to sleep, lay down, sit, walk, doing pretty much anything.. Should i be worried about these pains or no? and if its not round ligament pains, what could they be?
