Even our bedroom is frequently visited by his family members and he doesn't wants to close the door expect when I'm breastfeeding my baby. They involve our life too much and always tell us to do this, do that even with my daughter. He say nothing but wanted me to listen to them.

I know when you're pregnant your boobs get heavy, sore, double in size and even get tingly but do your nipples get bigger? Mine seem to have doubled in size and are permentantly erect! TMI I know but I just wanted to know if it was normal.

That is, I heard someone asked about his children, and he answered "I have three step kids and one of my own". I know exactly what he meant, but there's probably a better way of putting it. Biological child- bit cold and scientific. Actual child, real child... can sound like favouritism. Any recommendations?

I am 6 weeks pregnant and started spotting lightly a couple of days ago. I went to the doctor who has referred me for an early scan in a couple of weeks and advised me to take another pregnancy test. I took the test and its positive so am I still pregnant, or are there just residual hcg hormones in my system. the doctor says its likely I am still pregnant but I am worried sick!!!

My boy is in nursery this year and he has been going to school for 3 weeks already. He is toilet trained at home before we sent him to school but the thing is whenever the teacher asked him to go toilet, he will control his urine. By the end of the 4 hrs lesson, he will wet his pants. It happens everyday and its really getting me up on my nerves. No kids in his class are wetting their pants anymore and they follow the teacher when she brings them to the toilet. He doesn't wet his bed at night anymore but why is he still wetting himself in school? Can someone please help to give me some good advice? Your help is really appreciated....

i have a 2 and a half year old girl,my friends daughter is coming up 4 in march,when i go to her house her daughter wont share with mine,she panicks that were going to take her toys and all you can hear from her is 'it's mine your not taking it home', and other simmilar things,it's rubbing off on my daughter who is starting to act a bit the same way. Should i keep them away from each other or carry on seeing them and hope it passes,to be honest it's wearing a bit thin and i'm a bit fed up with all the attitude, i've tried to teach them to share but there seems to be a big chip on the older girls shoulder about something.

I can't decide if ought to give my boy suck a pacifier. he's only a month old. Sometimes, he starts to cry after less than 1hour after we breastfed him and will not sleep after feeding. He moves his mouth, seems looking for somethings to suck. Normally, fed babies can last 2-3hrs before next feeding. Worried that i might have over feed him cos,always offer him milk whenever he cries. Would a pacifier help him? Pls advice, cos read about disadvantages of using pacifiers.

Hey there :-D

I have PCOS.. I dont have the cysts... however my hormones are out of wack.. the doctor says my chances of concieving have improved alot since i lost all my wieght (BMI is now in)

Me and my partner have been using the withdrawal method... and im now 3 days late for my period... im usualy like clockwork (28 day cycle)

We had intercourse just before my ovulation time and during..

I was just wondering if my hormones (HCG level) wouldnt show up as much etc due to what i have... ive done a pregnancy test today at 11am (not my first urine of the day) and it came back neg
or maybe im just testing to soon...

we know withdrawal is like playing with fire... but we are happy either way...

Just like to hear your opinions :) xxx

When they find him do you think they will hang him like they did Saddam? How you think they should kill him? I think they should put him in a room and gas him to death.

I still don’t know the gender yet.
If boy we prefer ‘Aqil’
If girl we prefer ‘Rahah’
So, I need add something may be something like ‘Aina Rahah’ or ‘Aqil Hayy’.

And on the way out, I saw a Guy unbuttoning his Kids belt, the man screaming at the child "Benjamin, move your arms, move your ******* arms" ( I reckon this kid was about 6) then he slapped/hit him really hard on the stomach.
The guy was about 50, carried on screaming at this poor boy calling him stupid.

I know we all have bad mornings, but never in my life would I/have I done anything like that...
Do you think I should tell the school??

Hi all, I went for a ultrasound scan a few days ago which is not routine for my pregnancy. I am 18 weeks and I went for the scan because its to train junior doctors how to do scans!
Anyway when i went baby looked fine but the sonographer in charge noticed a very low lying placenta? I dont know if its blocking my cervix but when she was doing the scan she could see my cervix so does that mean the cervix is not blocked?? I have been researching this low placenta thing and I suppose its only a real worry if its completing blocking the cervix. So if she could see the cervix on the scan is that good news??? Thanks all.

My son is 6 months old now. He has had "sticky" right eye since he was 3 months old. The health visitot told me it was nothing to worry about, that it would go when he gets stronger. On our recent holiday it became worse than usuall(his eye kept filling with pus constantly), so we went to see doctor, which gave us antiseptic eye drops and advised we should go for proper examination when we get back to UK. We did go to see doctor, but just got another bottle of eye drops. Did any of you have similar trouble? Should I be worried?
