Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 January 2007

Yesterday, my girlfriend had a pregnancy scare. Thank god the test came back that she was NOT PREGNANT. I am only 23 and just out of college, I want to be a father eventually, but I think I am way too young. Has anyone had a scare. What would you have done if it came back Positive??

"The research is very very clear - a study was just done in sweden of the whole population. Kids raised by single moms - and you don't need a study, just look around - are much more likely to have mental problems, school and job problems, drug problems. etc. It's just wrong for a child to be raised this way on purpose. it's cruel and heartless and only very selfish mothers would do it.

Day care alone is very very bad for a child - how will she not abandon the child each and every day to day care? Children are damaged by observing their parents date - will your sister be able to not date for 18 years?"-cassandra

Wow, I am a single mother...my daughter is a straight A student, polite, well mannered, smart, mature.....
Do only single parents put their kids in daycare?
what is up with this way of thinking?????????????

I have bought him a baby doll and pushchair, we spend time around other babies, and we talk about the new baby coming all the time. I have been looking for books to read him on the subject to get him used to the idea, anyone know of a good one? Any other ideas to help? How did your kids deal with new arrivals? How did you cope with jealousy or sibling rivalry?

I just wanted to know what other people thought because its been brought up a few times between us. When I try to get him to help me or stay the night he makes a big deal out of it and I told him I work full time, I have to find the babysitters, and I still get up 7:30 in the morning with the baby and stay awake until 12 sometimes 12:30 untill he goes to sleep. Then I leave for work at 10 and I come back to him. I told him I feel like I'm a single mother sometime.and he gets all mad.He says I'm not a single mother because he comes up and we are engaged. We are engaged so I guess I'm not really a single mom, but I feel like it sometimes, a lot of times.

Just wondering if you didn't know that you were pregnant and had to have an x-ray done, will the fetus show up in the x-ray? I would think so but there is a debate between friends.

My little sister is 19 and just found out she is pregnant. She has never had a job, no car, never had any responsabilities. I don't know how she is going to support the baby, my fathers income is very little, and she still lives with my parents. The baby's father isn't going to be around. To look at her situation, she is having a baby for my mother to raise. My parents are older and both have health problems. What I am looking for here, is young single mothers who have sucess stories. I need to not only motivate and encourage her, but encourage and comfort my mother. I know everything will work out, but I don't know how.

Why is it that I feel like I have cramps and then I have a feeling of emptiness in my stomach... Even though I ate. It's so weird and it just started recently... Has anyone felt like this? What is it? Can it be that I'm pregnant? I haven't had my period since I believe November, but it's hard to tell because I have irregular periods... What is this feeling?

She constantly has snappy comebacks to everything, she's bossy and mean and yells at her older brother who is 8, she's bossy to other children. She is 6 years old going on 16. She talks back, I sometimes feel like I can't handle her. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can teach her to treat other people with respect and not have such an attitude or be mean all of the time? Before you answer please note that I will not smack her, grounding doesn't work and neither does eating a bar of soap. Also, please don't say "it only gets worse" because when I ask for advice that's all people tell me. My son doesn't act that way...is it only girls? I need help, I'm at my whits end.
