What is the funniest thing your child has ever done? I know Jack's only 10 months, but he sure has done some strange and hysterical things. Any parents out there with stories to share? (Funniest gets best answer...)

I felt like my period was starting yesterday, had a very small amount of discharge (didn't come near soaking a tampon). Some cramping earlier today, but now it's gone. Did an e.p.t. brand test tonight, got a faint line. I go to the doctor tomorrow anyway, so I'll know for sure then. How many of you have had faint lines, and how did it turn out?

I've been TTC for 2 months. My first cycle off b/c was 32 days, and today is day 35 of the second cycle.

I would like to raise a son that was very respectful and polite and did very well in school and was involved with many positive activities and was a model student who never got in trouble. But then again I know in the real world its the jerky fratboy bad boy who gets all the friends, get the hottest girls, get leadership job positions because of connections and influence, attends the best parties and overall has the better life. So what should I do? I mean lets be honest which father is the proudest - the one with the straight A student who got beat up at school or the one getting a call from the principle about their kid bullying another kid

My husband found out today that before March 10, the company he works for will lay off 550 employees. We are expecting our first child in May. The insurance through his company is what i have. When he is laid off, i am for sure the insurance will be gone. Any suggestions on what i should do? I am worried about the baby, and making sure everything goes ok. Do i try to get help through the state or what? I am not sure what to do... Just scared
Please no stupid comments, as this is a touchy subject for us right now...

I am 26wks pregnant. I had a check-up at around week 20 and i had gained somewhere between 11-15pounds (can't remember the exact amount). At my 26wk checkup on Monday i hadn't gained any weight at all although my fundal measurement was 26cm exactly! So obviously this means there isn't a connection between weight gain and fundal measurement growth... right?! Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, am just curious!

I'm 39.5 weeks and saw my midwife today. She said my cervix was still posterior and recommended that I take 3tbsp of castor oil and have sex. Im a nurse So I know its safe and will NOT make the baby pass meconium. That usually happens when the baby is over due so none of those rude answers please! Im looking for personal experiences please. thanks!

One of our sons is 11 years old and still wets the bed. Our six year old is also a bedwetter, but the problem is not with him. At 7:00 tonight I put a diaper on both of them and before we i sent them to bed I noticed that one of kids smelled kind of funny. I called both of them over and I told them i wanted to check their diapers. I check my 6 year old and his was dry, but when I checked our 11 year old his diaper was already wet. I asked him why he wet himself and he said because he didn't feel like going into the bathroom. I was pretty upset!

We got a new diaper on him before he went to bed. But what should I do about this? It is completely crazy!!!

there are only so many people in my life that i want to talk to about this, i know it is a touchy subject and i sound a little desperate. but i am.
I'm 20 years old and i have been in a relationship (on and off) for 2 years. just today i found out that i'm pregnant. of course i'm scared and upset but also unusually excited. i told my beau right away, and his reaction wasn't what i hoped for. it wasn't a, "we'll work it out everything will be fine" it was more like "I DO NOT WANT IT GET RID OF IT" which really upset me more than anything.. i understand him being upset, but he more or less blamed it on me. realistically i know the best thing to do would be an abortion, but from the bottom of my heart i do not want to. i want to keep the baby, not because im ignorant and think it will be easy raising a child, but i can't get past the fact there is a life growing inside of me. my son or daughter. at the same time, i fear i would be raising the child without him. any advice appreciated. :)

a friend of mine wants to know how she can tell if she's pregnant without buying a test, after it has only been 2 weeks since she had somewhat of an intercourse session. She said he wasnt in for longer than a minute or two, and he didnt have any pre-ejaculation or ejaculation fluid, and she did not use a condom or any kind of contraceptive. She can't buy a test, and she wants to be sure that she's not.

I am not able to reward positive eating habits, because he absolutely refuses anything else. My husband fusses at him at meals because he refuses to try anything else we offer. (We've tried everything - he doen't even like PB&J's!) He tells our son that we will continue to serve the leftovers that he refused until he tries them. I am the opposite - I am offering desert and candy if he eats something new. We've tried letting him help prepare the food he eats, not making a big deal about food selections, just about everything possible. Seems like neither of us are doing a good job at this, from what I have read. I could really use some strong, detailed advise. Any book recomendation, also.

I am a single mother of a 2 year old, and I am about to move out of state away from her father. I am pregnant with our second child, about 30 weeks, I am having second thoughts on keeping the baby or giving it up for adoption. I don't get support from him now and am wondering if I can handle it and also if she is going to feel neglected. I don't feel connected to this child at all, what should I do, I need some advice, I get depressed at the thought of another baby...
