Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 January 2007

I have a 2 1/2 year old son and my husband and I are wanting to have another child but we're having a hard time making a decision when to have it. We thought about waiting till our son is out of diapers, but he's starting to go through the everything is mine stage. So I thought having another baby would help him to learn to share. Plus I don't want my children too far apart in age. And I also had my son very young I was 19 when he was born. I was also 7 months pregnant when my husband and I got married, so we didn't get alot of time for ourselves before our son was born. So we want to have that at some point, but not when were old and gray!!! LOL But I'm also having problems potty training him, he doesn't even seem interested in the potty. He still doesn't mind having a wet diaper. All of these things are effecting our decision, and we don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

So I have been posting questions on here because I do what every guy does and that is worry. My Girlfriend and I had unprotected sex on a saturday night and I know unprotected sex is stupid and I am very big on condoms it was a spur of the moment thing. Well so my girlfriend took plan b on the third day and the pharmacist said that since it is the third day that she should take both pills at once. so she did. Five days later she experienced heavy darker bleeding which she said was not like her normal period. So Is that a side effect? And If so does that mean the pill worked because a girls natural thing is to bleed to release the egg right? She also felt some tenderness of her breasts but that is also a side effect of plan b. Its only been a week so is it possible that she could be experiencing pregnancy signs that early or are they just side effects? We both dont think she is pregnant but I have to think she is or it will catch me off guard if she really is. So What do you all think

Ok, this is a little gross... but I want to know if this is normal. I know they say you get an increase in the thin whitish milky mild smelling discharge but Im not sure if thats what I am having. My underweart has been staining yellow, and sometimes its a bit (im so sorry this is nasty) crusty. However, I wipe myself very clean after urination so its not that. I am used to discharge being sticky and could see it when you wipe... this just appears in my underwear. Also sometimes it smells badly and I have even noticed a whitish cream like stuff in the folds on my labia.. I shower and keep it clean. I have had 2 yeast infections but this does not itch.

Anyways, is this the normal discharge they talk about or could I have a yeast infection again... thanks and sorry for the gross details!

My daughter, who is almost 8, cries every night at bedtime. She says it is because she is afraid. I have tried everything. She has two night lights, and I leave on the hall light. I even moved my bed into the room right next to hers, and leave both our doors open.

The only way she doesn't cry is if she sleeps with me, or knows that I am in my room all night.

Some background: We moved into this new apt. back in July. She always slept with me before. But, now my fiancee' lives with us...so that would be very crowded. She really has gone through several changes this past year.

IHowever, I am at my wits end. I do believe that she really is afraid. But, what else can I do? I don't want to go to bed every night at nine when she does!!!

How can I keep this kid in bed and quiet?

I am 24 weeks and I have been reading in my books that I could start having Braxton HIcks contractions and that they are painless and are just helping your uterus practice for the upcoming birth. Well my question is this weekend I have been having my stomach get hard and it does hurt. It makes my stomach feel like it has a huge cramp or charlie horse and I was just wondering if any of you women had these and if that is what it might be. Thanks a bunch!

I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant, but i bleached my facial hair about 3 times using sally hansen and dyed my brows once during my first trimester. Guess at that point it just did not occur to me that I could be harming my unborn. I'm totally worried now.

I previously asked the question....
"What does the name Vaughn make you think of?"
I also mentioned that his name would be Vaughn Gallic....
I don't think I clarified or people understood that GALLIC is his last name. Not middle. You don't get to pick those things.
Another confusion for people I think is the pronunciation
Gallic sounds out like this (Gal-lick) not (Gay-lick)
So aside from his last name (which I think people focused on.....


What does the name Vaughn make you think of ?
Physical apperances.......

Has anyone's child been in speech therapy? How long before you saw results? My daughter has been in it for 2 months (1 hour a week) and I'm not seeing any difference. I know it's not magic, and it's not going to change over night, but how can I tell if I have a good therapist or not?

i am sick of these questions:

"am i pregnant?" - i don't know, go take a pregnancy test.
"can i get pregnant on my period?" - yes.
"can i get pregnant by anal sex?" - yes i got pregnant up my butt once.

if you guys got smart and started using condoms just like smart people do, maybe you wouldn't have to ask these questions ^___^ i just do not understand why a person can't go to the ******* pharmacy and get a box of condoms. if you can't afford condoms or birth control, you shouldn't even be having sex!

DURRRRR GET WITH IT, PEOPLE.

My 4 month old son did not sleep in my bed for the first week or so but ever since hen he has, he is now 4 months old. The only way I can get him to sleep in his crib is on his stomach, he will not sleep on his back. I know it is bad to sleep on his stomach so I always end up with him back in my bed. I don't know what to do, any advice?

Okay I'm twelve weeks pregnant. When I was 7 weeks pregnant, I took a blood test for HIV and some other stuff.. I drew out four tubes. Then yesterday, I heard my baby's heartbeat which is a good sign. Then my doctor said in four weeks I'm going to take another blood test. I told him again? then he said I'm just starting and there's many more with that came from? So will I be drawing blood every other month or something like that?

I'm just curiouse to see what everybody was into and who they hung out with. I hang out with the drama geeks's and the artsy people, though I have some ties to the preppy girls, beacuse one of them used to be a real big ballet dancer and lyrical dancer and was an amazing actress as well. My brother is in the jock group and so what were you in
?
