My toddler is 2 1/2 years old and I just had another baby (imitates him), my tot does everything the baby does, cries like him, wants to sleep in the crib like a baby again, it is like if he feels like a baby too, he wasn't like that before the baby was born, and I don't know if it is the right time to potty train him, what should I do?

There are two kinds of abortion: the one that's done w/ medication and you bleed out, or the vacuum suction, which is done by surgery.

I have a 14 month old and am thinking to start having another child now. I just want to know what was the biggest challenge you faced when having to care from one child to two children.

What do you think are the pro's and con's of having one child as apposed to two.

How on earth have other parents survived in the past? I have a four-year old who has just started Pre-Primary at five days a week, whilst trying to hold down a full-time job. My partner also works full-time. Yes, I suppose I could quit my job and be a stay-at-home mother, but we are trying to save enough money so we can get a home loan and buy the house we're living in. My daughter's day care centre has just told me that they can't accept anymore before/after school care children and my shifts are structured so I can either drop her off or pick her up, while my partner's quite often clash. I've been in my job just three months, so I don't want to rock the boat too much, but after calling other centres in the area, it looks like no one will be able to look after our girl for the half an hour either side of school that neither of us can do. Both our parents are too far away to look after her. I'm at my teether's end. Any ideas?

I have just moved to Australia with my family. My little girl has started a new school. This school is very keen on playing cricket and sports. As we are from the UK, we are getting a lot of grief about having lost the cricket, and my little girl is very upset about the other children always putting her down about 'her Country' losing the cricket. Now, she doesn't want to join in any sports, especially the cricket. She has tried to pretend that she is injured and has also been crying about it.

My husband thinks I should go and see her new teacher, but the thing is that even the teachers rub it in about cricket, it seems to be an Australian past-time. So far I have comforted her and said that playing sports is fun and that it will help her to make new friends at her new school, that she should give it a chance.

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Just wondering.... if you have favorites, if you like them all, if you hate them all, I just want honest opinions. And I'm not expecting!!!
Benjamin Edward (Ben for short)
Natalie Anneliese
William Landon (Will for short)
Lena Elizabeth

All the middle names are after some of my favorite characters from books.... tell me what you think of this, and if there are names from the same book you think will work better.
Edward after Edward Cullen from "Twilight"
Anneliese after Anne Frank (her actual name was Anneliese)
Landon after Landon from "A Walk To Remember"
Elizabeth after Elizabeth Benner from "Pride and Prejudice"

I am uncircumcised, and when masturbating with foreskin pulled back it hurts quite a lot if i touch the glans. No problem to do it when it is pulled up though. So my question is is this normal? I heard in sex ed. that you gotta pull back the foreskin when putting on a condom, and i worry this will hurt for the same reason as above. Also, i dunno about the mechanics when u have sex, but i worry that it will hurt too for the same reason.

I had sex a little 36 days ago. Used a condom and am almost 100% sure the condom did not break. I checked. I always do. I did get my period the day I was supposed to and it lasted the same amount and everything. Anyways like a week after having sex I had bowel issues. and i know that was way to early for pregnancy symptoms. Like 2 weeks ago I began having cramps. But I have had discomfort in my stomach since the bowel issue. Just in case I took a pregnancy test that came up negative and another one 3 days ago and it came up negative. do you think i am pregnant my mom and husband dont.do you. yes or no. THANKS!

How likely is it to have negative HPT at almost 5 weeks, having also experienced light bleeding (not implantation spotting) but still be pregnant. Is is possible to have low HCG due to the bleeding or just normal variance in HCG levels? Based on our timing and number of tries I really thought I would get pregnant but the test was negative on the 30th and my cycle began Jan 1.

My husband is trying to convince me to have a baby. I told him I would have a baby on the condition that he go to a lactation specialist and learn to express milk from his nipples. I know it can be done, as I've already done some research on it. I just feel it's only fair if I'm going to carry the baby for 9 months, then it's his job to feed it, but I don't want our baby to be on formula and I don't want to be bothered with pumping my breast. How can I convince him to do it? He fears that he will be looked at weird. I assured him he wouldn't be.
