i am 14 years old, and my parents think i still need a babysitter. This wouldnt be a problem but my parents hire some lady from a babysitting service and not family or a neighbor girl. This old lady keeps trying to make a move on me saying "lets tuck you into bed" and "time for your bath" Its really gross, how do i get it to stop?

Ok, so I've had this name picked out since I was a little girl. I lost my daddy to a heart attack when I was in elementary school. His first and middle name was Terry Lee. I was a major daddy's girl so this was a hard blow for me in life. My husband and I are family planning right now so we're talking about names for fun.

Since dad's name was Terry Lee, I came up with Terra Angelee (Ann-ja-lee). If you notice, Angelee has Angel in it (since dad is an angel now) for a full name of Terra Angelee. What do you think? Any other spelling suggestions or ideas?

Please be nice though. I'm pretty sensitive to this subject since it concerns a big part of my heart.

I am 16 weeks and i can't hug my kid tight anymore. She can sit on my knee, but not lean back fast... just now we were on the couch and she leaned in to hug me and play punch my shoulder and uuffff..... the uterus must of hit my lungs or something, cause my breath went right out of me.. She is being gentle... and I am too, but it is near impossible for her to be near me without bumping my stomach... is this a concern?

I have heard that when you are done breastfeeding your baby your breast will be smaller than what they were before. (before you were pregnant or nursing)

I want to start potty training my 4 year old tomorrow. I have not been able to potty train him until just recently because he had a cardiac arrest an hour after he was born. It has slowed him down developmentally. But now he is showing the signs like, waking up in the morning dry, interested in the potty.
I need some input on how to potty train him. He is my only child and I have no experience and my Mom seems too busy.

Hello! I just found out I'm pregnant on christmas eve, I came out to a due date of September 1st, but my Midwife (I only talked to by phone) said it'd probably be more likely around the 3rd, but tomorrow is my first prenatal exam. I'm really nervous, the past two years 4 of my sisters have concieved and misscarried (my mother and grandmother had a history of this as well). So tomorrow will they do a vaginal ultrasound? Do you think it would be out of place for me to request one? Could I afford it if my insurance say it wasn't nessasary?? I know I only have a few more hours to wait, but please let me know what you think!

My husband and I have two childre, but feel there is a void in our life. Me having more children is a very serious issue. There are risks on top of risks!! Since me getting pregnant is such a high risk, adoption seems to be the only option to have more children! I know there are many babies born into this country every day who are unwatned. My husband and I make a little over 20,000 a year (he works while I take care of the children) and I'm not about to go work full time so we can "qualify" for adoption so that a daycare can raise my children! Is there any company out there that helps parents who are fully qualified to adopt in every aspect but financially? We may have a lower income than others, but our children are very healthy, smart, happy, and loved!!! The story would be the same for any children we would adopt. There's gotta be something out there that can assist us in an adoption!

My husband snores and twitches his legs all through the night. It has become worse as he has gained weight again. I am a light sleeper and wake up all through the night because of it. I have tried earplugs, a box fan on high, sleeping pills, and have had him try some snore stop spray from Rite Aid. None of this is getting us anywhere. Please help me sleep at night without having to take pills every night.

I am probably a 1x and having a hard time finding clothes... I have been too Motherhood store a few times but hate the no return policy... and online shopping ideas?

Also.. doctor said because of my petite frame I should get a maternity girdle or belt.. I am only 5 months, and the baby is still really low making it hard to walk... due to lots of pressure. Do the girdles or belts really help? Which is better? Thanks!

When I had my first baby, I fould out my pelvis is screwed up and I have to have c-sections. It was suggested that I not have another baby. Five years later we decided that we just had to take the risk. We had a healthy baby after a full pregnancy of bedrest, but this time my bladder needed repair. The first c-section screwed it all up. The bladder was repaired, but I was told that if I want another one, I have to keep in mind that my bladder could rupture, it could be nicked during the delivery, or it could stretch too much and bleed too much during the pregnancy. I have no idea why, but all I can think about is having another baby! My second baby is only a year old and every month I hope that my period doesn't come! My husband thinks two is just fine. I feel a little empty inside for some reason. I hate to think about what I would have to go through if I was pregnant, but something inside tells me that it does not matter. I have a really huge feeling that I HAVE TO have have a baby??
