I'm a young, single parent and I cannot fathom ever harming my child. What are some ways that I could possibly assist in the prevention of child abuse, child neglection, and baby/child killing? Every time I read in the news that a newborn was tossed in the trash or left out in the cold to die it brings me to tears and I don't want to just sit here and not do anything, but I'm not sure where I should start. Obviously people can take measures to not become pregnant if they're not ready to be a parent, but we hear that all the time. People with serious, respectful answers would be appreciated! Thanks! =)

Theres like a 1% chance your baby could have so many different diseases and conditions. I watched a show last night that made me sad because one baby had a heart problem another a spine problem, the other came out with in ambilical cord around its neck (potentially fatal) ANYONE know what are the chances of having a baby with NO medical problems or issues and normal non-life threatening delivery? Any stats?

Right i know many women on here will think i am out of my mind, but i think i fell pregnant a day before my period came.....

That will now be just over a week and a half, for 4 days now i have been having cramps in my lower tummy and alternates between the middle and left and right it feels like i am still on my period.which i am not.

I have been feeling really tired for the past 3 days actually make that exhausted, and i keep getting bouts of feeling really sick and generally dont feel myself.

I know that i do not have anything wrong with my overaies and that surrounding area as i had a ultrsound scan about 6 months ago with the all clear so nothing like that can be making these period like cramps.

What i wanted to know was has anybody had these kind of symptoms before they got a positive test??

I did take a test today and came back negative did anyone have that happen before a positive??

Sorry for all the questions.

I did

My cousin called me and told me she only got $180 this year for her son. That blew me away because I thought it was supposed to be $1,000 per child.

How can anyone think abortion is wrong and should be legal when all of the facts point to the "thing in the womb" is human? At the end of Roe v Wade the Supreme Court Justices came out with a statement stating, "If, at any stage of pregnancy, It can be proved the the thing inside a womans womb is human, we would rule abortion illegal." That was in the 70's. It has been proved human 7 minutes after conception yet since roe v wade, 50 million unborn CHILDREN have been aborted. Also, if you didnt know, people who murder a pregnant woman are charged with TWO counts of MURDER.

She always comes to us with clothes that are stained, too small and smell of smoke. She never knows the last time she had a bath and has b.o and oily hair. She's almost 7 years old and her mom has 2 smaller ones with another guy that she's married to. When we pick her up, the other ones are dirty and half the time are playing in the street. They are all well fed and I don't think she gets spanked, but she told me that when her mom gets mad at her she will tell her to pack her bags and to live with her dad. She tells us all sorts of stories about how her mom let her have a drag off her cigarette and how she has coffee for breakfast. Her mother even told us to bring her coffee for her for breakfast on her first day of school. It just goes on and on how ridiculous the things she does are. If someone were to contact social services would they actually do anything since she isn't being physically or sexually abused?

I guess women can answer if they want too.

I'm in my late 20's and I'm getting close to a time where I need to start thinking about fatherhood. I was wondering how it feels when your child is born and in the house. How does it feel? Is there a feeling that there's a stranger in the house? Do you feel overwhelmed with responsibility? Describe how it feels when baby comes home please.

I just got back from the doc's, saw my baby (it's beautiful). The doctor said at the next visit he's doing a blood sugar test but didn't say what it was. Is it just a simple blood test, do they take more blood than normally (dreading it)?

I mean no birth control pills, no condoms, nothing...

I bet ppl will come in and scream "HELL NO!"

But what of the ancients? They had no condoms or birth control pills.. Yes some of them must have found a way, otherwise the world would have been overpopulated by now. ;)

I know there's a certain time during every month when a woman can have sex without getting pregnant. ("period"?)
However, I also heared that sex during this time can be quite messy and bloody. How does this thing work?

Provided the two partners are clean, and there's no fear of getting an STD, how would they go about having sex during the above mentioned time?

I want to either register at Target or BabiesRus. Here is my dilemma... Target is good because it is accessible to everyone but last time I went they had hardly anything. I love babiesRus because they have a great selection, great atmosphere and cater to just babies, but the cloest one is about 15 mins away... So Im wondering, should I just register at babiesRus and hope people go all that way (or shop online) or register at target knowing everyone can get there?

What were your experiences with both places?

My sister is having her first child (baby boy due 6/2 very excited!!). Her co-worker who has a autistic 3 year old boy has said her sons vaccinations were the cause of autism and that the chances of this happening are greater in baby boys. She told my sister not to get the baby vaccinated untill he is older. Has anyone heard this before? Is this a fact? Should she wait?

Last night I was laying down on my back and I was trying to listen to the babys heart beat with the heart beat monitor that I got and I felt this funny feeling in my stomache. Its kind of hard to explain, it was like a nudge. I felt it a couple of times. So I was wondering what it was....I mean I could clearly tell that it was not gas bubbles or anything. Im not a big person im only 5'2 and 118 pounds(gained weight lol). I go to the doctors monday so I cant wait to ask her, but has anyone experianced this before? and could you please give some advise as to what you think it was? thank you all very much!
