am I wrong feeling the way I do? my fiance of 7yrs not allowing a joint account or access to money, I did support myself proudly I worked for 5yrs, we now have a 2yr old & I am full time mum, I have no income or access to any money at all, I am a proud person & dont like the feeling of being a financial burden but with a daughter at the age of 2 & no access to money I am wondering what would happen in the case of an emergency & I am without access to any money at all, I get no money from the government as my parter earns over the threshold & I am listed as recieving a wage to minimise his tax am I selfish or wrong? wanting access to money it would be nice to go out to lunch or be able to buy my daughter clothes without feeling like a child asking for pocket money. Its hard work being a mum harder than working,my fiance seems to think its so easy saying I have the good life, I returned to work for 2months my daughter was unhappy so I decided to give her my all in her precious yrs

I'm a little confused about the whole "egg white cervical mucus", "14 day ovulation" thing. I didn't have any EWCM, so does that mean I didn't ovulate this cycle? I've been watching my CM and trying to conceive. I've passed the 14 dpo point, on 20 dpo now, no signs of ovulation. Any thoughts?

We live about nine hours from our family, and I would like to find a website that lets you keep your family up to date about what is going on. I'm looking for something to share info about appointments, what kind of theme we are doing baby's room in, where we are registered, etc. I'm basically looking for something the equivalent of theknot.com, but for pregnancy instead of wedding. Thanks for your input!

I am currently expecting baby #4. We planned it but now I wish we hadn't. I get very sick while pregnant and it seems like when something is bothering me and I wait all week to call the doctors they act like I am just over reacting. What do you think? How do you feel? Do you regret trying to get pregnant like I do?? thanks

O.K. get this, I have worked for my Brother-n-law as a paralegal for 2 years, I have been devoted and covered his a** for all this time. I am currently pregnant and he is not offering me no paid maternity leave, he will hold my job for me because by FMLA you are required to hold a job up to 12 weeks. I just don't know what to do, I honestly can't be off for 6 weeks unpaid. I'm scared to say anything because it's family, but I really think it so unfair that American woman have no paid maternity leave. Should I say something or not since it's family?

I fell out with my mother in law a couple of years ago and although we both make the effort when we are together for my husbands sake she has openly admitted she does not like me and things are very strained. I had some bleeding last week and have been told to avoid stress. I know visiting will be stressful but I dont want to let my husband down.

We all remember when we were 12 (give or take) and we couldn't wait for that wonderful day when we saw that first sign that we were now a woman. Oh, how soon that exhuberance died when reality set in.
Did you celebrate your first one with a special treat? I got my ears pierced and did the same for my daughter. How did you celebrate? Girls day out at the spa? New clothes?

My 9 month old baby boy is very alert. He has been depending on us to rock him to sleep every night / nap time. We tried a variation of Cry It Out - but he doesn't seem to improve with it. I am so exhausted with the limited amount of sleep I am getting, since he started waking up more often every night. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm a first time SAHM with my 4.5 mo old son. This last week was a hard one for me. Don't get me wrong I have a good baby but I just feel out of touch sometimes with my motherly instincts. I just find that I've been having a hard time lately and wanted to know if there is anyone I could chat with that's maybe in the same boat? Please don't tell me about PPD just want someone to talk to and maybe help me with what I'm going through......Too many details to list....Thanks for any support.

How do I email if it says user does not allow email? There was a few people I was interested in talking to but I click on them and that's what it says.

I've recently noticed that when I change my daughter's diaper or give her a bath, sometimes she gets really quiet and starts touching herself. I don't even think she notices she's doing it, but I'm not sure. She's 20 months old. I don't want to tell her no, cuz she's very young, so I just ignore it, or move her hand and laugh it off. Is this normal?

Does that mean we can't get pregnant? If we do will there be birth defects?
