Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 January 2007

Oops, our 3 year old caught us having sex!! Will it affect him? Does he knows what it means? He scolded me for having my pants off..."mommy why are you now wearing your underwear/pants?" He didn't say nothing to his dad. Why do I get the sole finger pointed at me by our 3 year old. Felt soo embarassed.

I already asked this question but I'm going to add more details, so maybe you can help me better.
Ok my mom died when I was 8 years old (I am 15 now) and I just had some new neighbors move in just over a year ago. And at first I wanted nothing to do with their parents becasue thats just what I've been like since my mom died. But as I go over their and "hang out" I find myself wanting their mom to be in the same room as us and to talk to us and play games like "truth or dare" and "would you rather" with us. And then if the two girls that I'm "hanging out" with get yelled at by there mom I feel like I want to get into trouble too. It's really weird. I also find myself feeling jealous when she goes and sits next to one of her daughters. Another thing, sometimes I feel like I just want to sit down with her and just talk with just me and her. I'm not sure whats going on, can someone help me? AND what shoud I do about this?
Ok, I live with my dad and two brothers.

Would you pierce your daughter's ears if she was just a baby? It's so cute and she wouldn't remember the pain. Plus I don't know anyone who wouldn't want her ears pierced other than my mom. I wasn't allowed to pierce my ears untill I was 11. All my friends got theirs done when they were much younger and none of them regret it. So what do you think?

My bf & I are discussing our future plans and he would like to wait for another 6 years before we start a family due to his career (enlisting & training with the air force). I am 30 and he's 29. I already have 2 children from a previous relationship so it wouldn't bother me if I didn't have more children - but he would like a family of his own.

I have tried telling him that not only do the "risks" increase after the age of 35 but I also have other mitigating factors that may hinder my chances of pregnancy especially at that age. In my early 20's I had laser surgery & I had a cone biopsy done to remove precancerous cells from my cervix. I also have only one functioning tube left as one of my tubes was removed after an ectopic pregnancy ruptured. I am trying to convince him that if we wait until HE's ready to start a family, that we may not have very good odds in our favour.

Any help or wise words from women would be greatly appreciated.

You see, My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 7 months- I know that it can take up to 1yr to conceive, but at the rate we are going, it doesnt look like were going to be pregnant by then. So, i was wondering what are some things that i need to ask my doctor about me not conceiving? Also, are there any kind of tests that he can run on me to see if im fertile, or if im able to have children? I need to know what to ask- What do i need to be aware of? Please give any advice.

I found out that I have a disease that prohibits me from having a child without fertility drugs. My husband and I are wanting to adopt. I've always wanted to adopt, but I figured it would be after my husband and I had kids and were in our like 40s, I'm 21 (22 in June) so this is a bit of a shock. I want to learn about the process before we start on this journey. And how do we go about adopting children from out of South Carolina or even out of the United States? Please help me.

I'm going for my 20 week ultrasound this week and I can't decide if I want to find out the sex of my baby? Any thoughts/opinions.

This is my first baby and although at first I was going to leave it as a surprise, I don't think I can wait any longer.....

However, I really REALLY want to have a boy, but I have this deep down feeling that I want a boy so much I will end up having a girl! Has anyone ever experienced this?

Would appreciate a broad range of ideas/thoughts/opinions!

Thanks everyone :o)

I had a miscarriage at 9 wks in 11/06 & just miscarried again last wk at 4 1/2 wks. We waited one period after our miscarriage to try again, and then we got pregnant on our first attempt. Since we miscarried again I'm just wondering if I my uterus wasn't strong enough and if I should have waited longer to try again. The doctor told me to wait one period, but I hear different things from so many doctors. Who do I believe?!!!

I'm 6 months pregnant and everytime I try to talk to my daughter about having a baby brother she kind of dodges the subject. I'm not sure she understands. I think she just thinks that I call my stomach a baby because she always lifts her shirt up and says she has a baby too. What is a good way to help her understand?

does the school call you?

I have a daughter in first grade. She had a doctors app't last week for a check up - I planned on bringing her to school after her appt'. Anyway, the doctors office was so busy and we were there much longer than planned. So after the app't we just came home (there was only like 2 hours left of school). Anyway, later that evening I realized I never called the school to let them know she wasn't going to be in. And then I was concerned that the school didn't call me to let me she wasn't there. I always remember when I was in school, that if I was absent, they would call home to check.

What is your schools policy (if you know)? My concern is that if she really went to school and for some horrible reason, didn't how up, I wouldn't know until I was waiting for her at the bus stop - you know what I mean.

Thanks for your answers!!

I had intercourse 1 day before ovulation, spotted 6 days after and now a week and a half later having light period. It started 2 days ago as light brown bleeding and now it varies from brownish-red, light red and pink. No cramps and almost no flow.
Btw, I had never used b/c pills and ttc.
