my hubby and i want to have a baby like 5 or 6 years from now (our son will be 5 or 6). we had such a hard time naming him that i think it would be very sweet to let him name his sibbling down the road. i want it to be up to him. do you think a 6 years old could handle this? if you have one as them off the top of thier head what name they would like best for a brother or sister? tell me what they say?

It seems early to be dropping, is it? Does this mean I will have my baby early? I was carrying low to begin with, and I feel alot of pressure today, I was waking up in my sleep with cramps in my stomach, I have not yet experienced braxton hicks contractions, Unless what I felt last night was that, the pressure today makes it very hard to be mobile.

I am 28wks pregnant (12wks or so to go! yippee! lol). My baby moves alot and recently my stomach is noticeably beginning to move. Yesterday it looked like baby was doing somersaults in there or something because my stomach was moving in little "wave" like motions. Sometimes my stomach even looks a little lop-sided.

However i think my baby is shy. Whenever anyone else is looking (grandparents to be/father to be etc) NOTHING happens! lol. No kicks no somersaults no stomach movement. AS SOON as they are no longer looking baby starts up again. I'm sure they are beginning to think i'm lying about the cool stomach movements happening because no one else EVER sees it! lol

Does anyone elses baby have "stage fright" where they move and stuff for mommy but no one else?

To the point that I have started keeping crackers and bottled water next to my bed. Some of my husband's friends at work have said that I should not be this hungry so early and I must just be using the pregnancy as an excuse to eat. (which buy the way is not very like me). Do you think the hunger is in my head, or do his friends just not know what they are talking about.

We went on christmas vacation and came home on the 1st. Now every time i put her to bed, she freaks out and crys like she is severly hurt. she bangs on her bedroom door. i have never heard her act like this. The only way for me to get her to bed is to sleep next to her (in her room, the couch, My husband and i's bed). She isn't like this when its nap time but at night its a different story. She won't even go in her room until like 11. and thats with me with her. i just don't know what to do. she currently doesn't have a pedi i can call to ask so i feel so lost. Please help with any information

A spanking is one firm pat on a clothed butt, that doesn't even hurt, so why is it considered abuse when some (weird) people actually GREET each other that way?

my 9 (10 in a few weeks) is extremely athletic and muscular. I have been told that this may prevent her from menstruating at a very young age (which is fine by me). I allow her to use deod/antiperspirant, but now i am told that that could cause a bilological change in her to make her mature faster.
Either way, is 9 too young to have the period talk with her? i would like to keep her as innocent as possible for as long as I can. they have the talk next year in school anyway.

any advice on how to do it. i guess the baby talk will follow. i do have a book with great illustrations that i always planned on using

My husband and I have been married a little over a year now, and have been together about six years. I always end up telling people that "if he could be the pregnant one, we'd have had a kid by now and another on the way!" I'm just the opposite. I always, always take a while to be committed to something, anything- I can't just jump in like he does. He feels he's getting old (only 25, I'm 24), but I don't. I always told him I'd like to wait at least five years to have kids, but now he really wants to speed things up. I worry about the "what if's..." I am a teacher and plan to always be one. I don't want to be the kind of mom that takes years off to raise their children, though that is admirable and noble. His job will not carry us through if I have to quit. His familiy is very supportive.

Here's the question: what made you decide to finally start a family? I want one, but I don't know when. He's pressuring me to start this summer and be pregnant all next year. ANY advice?

I'm so ready to get the whole labor and delivery over I can hardly wait. I'm very anxious right now.

My first pregnancy I had back labor really bad and I stayed in labor for over 36 hours. My little girl had some complications during labor (fetal distress and meconium aspiration). I went through 4 nurse staff changes, one being a horrible nurse that wasn't paying attention to the monitor and let my little girl go into fetal distress. My daughter is 6, has cerebral palsy, developmental delay and hearing loss. She's had a history of seizures also.

We went through alot of angry years trying to get over the pain it caused my little girl and my husband and I. It's just something we have to deal with for the rest of our lives.

I want this delivery to be different. It's a boy. I have a new doctor also. She's wonderful. We did sue the state, but my daughter is damaged 4 life.

Any advice on how to talk to these nurses so this doesn't happen again?

i just found out i am about 6 weeks pregnant and the morning sickness is just kicking in. i can handle almost all of it except shampoo and conditioner. most brands come in fruity or flowery smells and that is no good. i would appreciate some suggestions on brands that have a spicier smell. or no smell at all would be better, haha. we switched to tide free for the same reason. thanks!

The names we have narrowed it down to are Charisma (most likely) and Patience. I like to try to give my children a unique first name (that is actually a word in the english language) and a more normal middle name (in case they hate me later for the first one and decide they want something a bit more normal). I prefer one syllable middle names :) Thanks for your help!

what i mean is if a 13 year old asks her mom for a thong he mom freaks out and thinks she wants to wear it b/c she is having sex or something... they sa she is growing up to fast... but maybe its because i am young but when i was high school and middle school thongs were just underwear and no one thought anything of it everyone wore them so it wasn't such a big deal. i work in a juniors store and there are girls thats are about 13 who come in and buy themselves thongs with the money that their mother gives them.. i am sure that they tell their mom thatthey spent the money on dinner in the mall or something. but the point is that they are gonna wear them anyways and just keep it a secret. i think that older people and by that i mean people 35 and older make to much out of it. because their girls are gonna do what they want and if they have to hide their underwear from them wht hapens when its more serious things???

i had a baby 3 weeks ago and got stiches on that little peice of skin between my vagina and my anus where i tore. The nurse in the hospital that day said no intercoarse for 6 weeks (cuz thats when my next docters oppointment will be). But I have no pain at all down there, and really want to have sexual intercoarse. Is it going to kill me really to just have sex now?? putting the nurses orders aside? Honestly.

I really like this name. However, our last name is McCarty. Do you think "Autumn McCarty" blends too much when said aloud? Since it's ends with an M sound, and begins with an M, I thought it may mush together?

I am trying to potty train My 21/2 year old son I started a sticker chart every time he sits on the potty we put a sticker on the chart. I even let him put the sticker on the chart. I was thinking about doing a bigger prize once he gets a line full. (such as a matchbox car) he hasn't actually gone yet, I was wondering if there are other technics that any of you have used that worked really well! Thank you for your sudgestions!
