alright, i have a 22 year old sister who is about just 3-4 weeks pregant and she is scared to death. we're full japanese, which means our parents are one of those strict asian parents. our father is not in the picture because he never was. the problem is our mother. I've know her boyfriend since my sister started dating him. he's had bad records, he has a son who he cant see..you know, before he was in real trouble. since he met my sister, he has changed a lot. i never trusted him at first but now i know he's a great person who will always be by my sisters side. HOWEVER, our mother does not like him at all because of all the things he's done. he's not allowed to see my sister or come by to our house, but of course they still see eachother because they truely love eachother. She asked me to tell my mother about her but i think she's a grown person, she should do it her own, what do you guys think? she just doesnt want to hurt our mom but she really wants this baby

your temperature spikes during your high phase? I have this little thermometer thing that tells you when you are most fertile...well it says i have been for the last four or five days...and about ten minutes ago i started getting warm and my temperature spiked from 97.6 to 99.1....what does that mean if anything? Does it mean my ovary is releasing the egg?

My girls are 6 and 9, and I'm scared at how they will react when they find out there is a new baby on the way. Any suggestions?

This is more geared towards mothers. At what age would you put your daughter on birth control. And if they were the ones who asked you for it, how would you feel?

I am confused every book I have on pregnancy seems to have a different timeline. How many months is 21 weeks really? What do I tell people when they ask? It seems non prego people just don't seem to comprehend preganancy by weeks.

Just curious to see what other parents use.

I use Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers sensitive skin wipes, GoodStart (when it's not breastmilk), and my baby's too young for baby food.

I think an egg may have been fertilized two or three weeks ago and I want to take an accurate test that may register my pregnancy at this stage or maybe a teeny bit later. Is it possible? What test is the best and, if you know, what does it usually cost?

Here's how it went:

My boyfriend didn't actually *** inside of me, actually, he was never inside me at all; however, I am worried about "pre-***." We were just making out and stuff and our bits down there were kind of touching. Like I said, he never actually went inside of me, I'm just worried that somehow the pre-*** got inside of me. I took Plan B 36 hours after it happened, and I started my period two weeks later. After that though, would my period go back to normal timing? We did it on or around the 27th of November(I had just gotten off of my period, which started the 22nd), and two weeks later I started (around 10th of December). I have not, however, had my period since then. I think I'm stressing out about it too much, even though I feel like there is, like, a .0005% chance I could, in fact, be pregnant. Maybe I just need reassurance. Thanks guys :)

As for me I completely disagree with it. "Spare the rod, Spoil the child." I have a two year old and I will never beat her and I've never spanked her more than once on the bottom and "over" her diaper. When I see a child who over reacts when he does't get something in the store and a parents doesn't do anything about it, it makes me cringe because I can never imagine my child behaving that way. I spank my daughter only when I've told her more than once to stop something and she doesn't listen, which is very rare. And believe me, my daughter is the most well behaved two year old I've ever seen and I've pretty much been told that by everyone. I as a child was spanked and I came out pretty good and I thank my parents for disciplining me in that way because if it wasn't for that then who knows where I might have ended up.

According to the doctor I am 32 weeks pregnant because they are going by the 1st day of last period but I didnt know so I estimated, but at the hospital last week they did a sono and it said I am 35 weeks, and they go by the size of the baby. I dont know if I am 32 or 35. Which would be more accurate. The sono says the baby is on schedule for a 35 weeker.

I was just wondering my baby is 5 months old and she is about the size of a one year old (20lbs, 281/4inches). Now since she is that big(which the doctor says is fine because she is proportional) shouldn't she be eating the amount of food that a baby that big would eat not the amount of food that a baby her age should eat. I hope you understand my question and thanks in advance.

My girlfriend just started taked The Pill, "Yas", we are trying to figure out how soon it will be safe to have unprotected sex. Some places and some doctors say a week, some say a month, planned parenthood online even says right away IF taken within 5 days of peroid. Why such a difference in opinion? What is the chance of getting pregant after a week? But before a month?

If a parent has 2 kids & shows favoritism towards the younger child, do you think that it can lead to the older child being jealous?

I've heard that K-Y kills sperm and I'm just wondering if there is a lubricant that doesn't? My husband and I are trying to get pregnant and we don't want to take any chances with K-Y.

My friend is being abused by her parents. Horribly so! She got her ears peirced and her mom went as far as to yank them out! But she can't get out until she's seventeen or she gets a gaurdian. What can she do to stop it now? Are there any other options? I want her safe and sound. She doesn't deserve it. She's a really great girl who loves life, but she's afraid to go home. I really need to know anything I can. P.s. I live in Texas if the laws are different.

My 9 yr old is constantly talking about I Pods, MP3 Players, Cell Phones, and how this person has $-- AND he actually expects us to buy these things for him. Do you any of you seriously have a 9 yr old/4th grader with these high tech pricy items and if so, WHY?

Have you ever noticed that mothers that breast feed seem to think that mothers that chose not to are the worst parents in the world. And mothers that go by the books and magazines and what is seen on their little TV shows always feel the mother that follows her instincts or "old school ways" are wrong. I must say.. I DID NOT BREAST FEED AND I AM DAMN GLAD I DIDNT MY SON IS HEALTHY DEVELOPING BEYOND HIS GESTIONAL AGE AND HAPPY I also feed him table foods just as our grandparents and parents did and we all survived!
