I have a friend who became a father. Him and his ex-girlfriend aren't on speaking terms. He does want to be in his child's life despite having difficulty getting along with his ex.

They know that they will not get married. What can he do to be in his child's life despite the problems with his ex?

my last period was in beg. of nov, i had very light pink spotting on off for 2 days in early dec. been feeling a lot more tired, emotional, and some food aversions/cravings. took a test mid dec. neg. but i still "feel" pregnant. i wasnt trying (wasnt not) so its not wishful thinking! i was going to wait til next week to see if i missed my period again to test, lately my nipples have become sore dunno if that could be my period or that im pregnant. well all of a sudden im having pretty sharp pains in my middle stomach. earlier today i ate spicy chicken strips and 2 whole lemons ( i had such a strong urge to eat a lemon!?), could that be why im having pains or should i be worried. and should i even think im pregnant. i just have a feeling i am...cant explain. ive had neg. tests before in the past but this time i didnt believe it dunno why i just dont. thanks for the help!!!! oh and btw im not a teenager and a baby would be a welcomed surprise.

I have a child (almost 3 yrs old) who has a hard time sleeping at night. About 5 times a week, he wakes up at 2 or 3am and will not go back to sleep. I sit with him, read to him, and even just leave him alone to see if he will go back to sleep. He only takes an hour nap at his day care, and goes to bed at 8:30 or 9:00pm.
Lately, he just fights me to go sleep. He hits, kicks, screams, and he even tried biting me once...what do I do? I have spanked him before because he just will not listen to me. Does anyone have any ideas?? Please help!!

My cousin just moved into a new house. In the few months that she has lived there, she has heard some very high pitched sounds coming from her neighbor's place. She's pretty sure its one of her neighbor's kids shrieking, but isn't absolutely certain that its a potential abuse situation and not the kid laughing (sounds stupid, but I can see how that might be a tough call to make). She hasn't had much contact with her neighbor, and doesn't want to ask anout this situation. I don't know what to tell her. If this lady is abusing her children, the authorities should be contacted. But if the authorities are contacted and there is an inocuous explaination, this whole family's lives will be turned upside down. What would you do in this case? Try to find out more information? Talk to the neighbor? Contact Social Services and let the chips fall where they may? I would really appreciate some opinions on this.

Thanks

Okay so, I am late on my period maybe about a week and a half, give or take a day or two. When we had a slip up, I immediately started taking my birth control which I had forgotten to get the last month. So I was off birth control at the time we had sex. I read that you could take birth control in a certain way and get the same effects of the "morning after pill". I assumed that I didn't start since maybe my birth control messed it up, and thought I might start on the last week (sugar pills), I'm only three days into the sugar pills so technically I would have 5 more days to start like I should on birth control. If anyone knows, the chances, or any opinions that would be great. Please only serious responses, I'm under enough stress with everything else in my life to try not to stress about rude responses on here, please!!

I had my 1st miscarriage in august and I'm kind of nervous about that because I'm TTC now, I was given a Rhogam shot after my miscarriage but I'm not sure whether or not that will help any because the midwife that I was seeing then told me nothing about it, could anybody help me out on this a little? I would appreciate it, and also, if you know of any links to TTC sites or pregnancy sites could you post them here, thanks.

I have a 14 yr old daughter. Never been a strong student usually C's with a couple B's thrown in here and there. She started 8th grade out in the "IN" crowd. Backstabbing and fights within the group everyday. It was hard on me no telling how she managed. Two weeks in to school a girl was picking on a friend of my daughter and my daughter stepped in, long story short she hit her and got suspended. My daughter has never been in trouble in school always had pleasent in class, good participant, etc... So this surprised her father and I. She missed cheerleading tryouts were held during her suspension. She failed English so she couldn't tryout for volleyball. Things have been just getting worse she cries about school, friends, everything about school. We don't know what to do. She refuses to talk to counselor becasue she is scared kids will find out and things will be worse. We don't know where to turn next.

I am 15 weeks pregnant. I was wondering if anyone who has had a reduction has had problems with breastfeeding. For those of you who say ask a doctor, I am going next week so calm yourself. I was just wondering whether those who have had a breast reduction have any problems with breast feeding.

and his preschool has been very sloppy in making sure he isn't eating them or eating anything made with or processed with them. Today I was the room-mom and saw them giving the children pretzels made in a factory that processes peanuts. If I hadn't been there my son could have eaten them and gotten sick, or worse. This is the 3rd "incident". We are putting him into another school-- ASAP. I am sick over this! What would you do?

If you've ever had multiple miscarriages, were you finally able to get pregnant and carry the baby to term? I know some miscarriages are unexplainable but were you lucky enough, to pin point the problem?

My son told me that her is starting to like this girl. He then told me that she is of a different race. Should I meet her first or just tell him not to do this.
