Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 January 2007

I have sought a girl/teen/teen mom 16-24.It has been my experience that the fathers of teen moms are unwilling to step up to the plate to accept responsibility as i would.I sought a younger girl, for girls my age or therebouts are beyond the wanton for a child,or can no longer concieve,as i so yearn for fatherhood.I have had the fortune to meet teens/teen moms and maintain them as friends,but none were willing to go to the next level.I am morally,ethically and politically correct.People call me a pervert or pedophile on the surface,because they are unwilling to get to know me.I am far from being a pervert.I have always considered myself an advocate for those less fortunate when in happenstance,i do not go looking for moments of advocacy.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and have been taking courses to prepare me for a natural birth. However, my doctor has informed me that the baby is still in the breach position ( feet down). He says if the baby doesn't move round in the next week or so I will need a cesarean section. I really want to have a natural birth! Any ideas, suggestions or similar situations?? Thanks.....

My sister just announced that she is expecting. I would like to get her a present, not something for the baby, but something just for her. She is still very early on in the pregnancy, but she already has a ton of books, so those are out.

I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a week ago and now I'm having major abdominal pains, is this a sign of a miscarriage or can I possibly be having early signs of pregnancy?

I love the name Audrey Josphine, Josphine after my grandmother whom I never got to meet, it is also my sister's middle name so here are my questions...
My mom's middle name is Ann and I also love that and want to pay tribute to her...so I want to combine Audrey and Anne, I have heard of Adrianna but how would you spell Audreyanna? (see what I mean the y looks silly but I dont want ppl to confuse it with Adrianna. Also do you think I should ask permission to use Josphine from my sister, she is only 18 but should I as it is her middle name too?

As if I wasn't already paranoid about this pregnancy before hand! I just recently had a cerclage placed on my cervix and my worries have tripled. My questions are what are the symptoms of a ruptured cerclage? Will I have to get it tightened throughout the rest of the pregnancy? Is it normal for my stomach to tighten up every once in a while? And lastly how the hell do I survive 18 weeks of bedrest??? Experienced moms, your answers are greatfuly welcomed.

Would using a sunbed "dry up", destroy or poison breastmilk in any way that would be harmful to a soely breastfed baby? health visitors and midwifes have been unable to answer this question for us in any detail.

I saw a question posted by another woman and her situation seemed to similar to mine. Almost two years ago I signed guardianship of my then almost 2 year old son to my dad and his wife. At the time I was suffering from Depression and quit my job on a whim! I was having trouble financially. My parents said that if SRS were to find out I was without work they would take him and none of us would get to see him. They offered me to sign guardianship (with a lawyer) and assured me that I could see him whenever I wanted and they would give him back as soon as I was on my feet again. That was almost two years ago. I have my son at home with me every day...every weekend. The only thing I dont get is him for overnight. I pick him up the time he wakes up and take him back before bedtime. Doesnt make sense to me. They were never able to have children together because my dad cant have more kids, so I understand that theyve become attached. I just want my son back. I love him and the times I miss

My son is 5 and a half months old. He currently takes 3 (5 oz) breast milk bottles daily as well as nursing 2-3 times per day. He eats 1/4 cup of cereal twice a day and is starting on vegetables.

When will he start using a sippy cup in addition to the bottle and what does a baby drink in the sippy cup? I'm not a big fan of sugary juices and I've heard a baby can get too much water.

She will maybe take a spoonfull or a bite of finger food but that is it. She will take all her formula bottles and will even baby sign for those but as for "real" food she is not bothered. Has anyone got any ideas or had a similar situation? may sound trivial but it worries me silly that she is not getting the nutrition she needs. thanks

My doctor switched my birth control when I was on week one of the old. I took the last one that Thursday and started the new that Sunday, missing 2 pills entirely. This is what the pharmacist said to do. According to the old cycle I would have gotten my period by this morning. On the new it wouldn't be until next week. I have had a slight feeling of nausea a couple of times, been bloated, and I had brown cervical mucous twice over the past 2 days. Sorry about TMI. I took a preg test Saturday and it was neg. Could I possibly be preg? I would like to be but my husband what's us to be "financially ready." We have a 4 year old now. Can someone give me their honest opinions or actual experiences? I would like to know if any of my symptoms are leaning towards preg. Thanks so much for your time!
