I am currently 2 days overdue. On Friday I had my membrances stripped, and there was a lot of blood that day, which my doc told me was very normal. I also had a lot of cramping, but each time my cervix has been manipulated I have had cramping. The cramping is still going on, and is extremely painful. I lost my mucous plug last week (only white mucous) and today had a lot more mucousy discharge that was *slightly* pink (assuming this is bloody show). I was only dialted to 2cm and 80% effaced on Friday. I have already been to L&D three times in pre-labor and been sent home due to know cervical change. I have been having contractions here and there all day today (nothing regular) but this abdominal cramping is intense. I have never had menstrual cramps, so I am not used to this at all. This is my first baby, so I am not sure what to expect. I have an induction scheduled for Tuesday night, do you experienced mothers think my baby will come before this?

I make my daughter work alot. She is 7 and mops and sweeps and takes the dog out...takes garbages out, empties the dishwasher... and more. She does chores almost everyday, some paid and some are just expected. I am now pregnant and she said "wow, mom with two kids to help you clean, think how spotless this place will be!' I almost burst out laughing but caught myself. When she is ata sleepover this place is so clean. So spotless... and I realize... even with all her chores, and both of us cleaning... it is never as clean as when she is not here! How much more with her and a baby? How can one kid make so much mess... when she picks up after herself alot and does some housework too???

Ok, a friend of mine is going through a bad divorce, both times she got pregnant she told him that she was using birth control and after showing up pregnant she admitted that she wasnt and she was wanting a a baby. He is more than happy to pay support now (even though she's taking him to the cleaners) and I just wanted a few opinions on this. I don't think the state should have to pay for the kids, I'm not saying that at all. She is also trying to send him to prison for something he did not do and it looks like she's going to succeed. I realize that women get pregnant while on birth control and that it isnt 100% and of course thats kind of a risk that both parties take when having consentual sex, but when a person is outright lied to about the other person being on birth control, what do you think about this? I"d like womens opinions as well as mens. Thanks!

Just curious...
My hubby and I were never away from our daughter for more than a couple hours for her entire first year. Not that it bothered us, we loved it. Shes now almost 2, and shes still not away from us more than a couple or hours, or maybe one night a month.
This seems totally fine to us...
But all our friends are different...
They have family who takes their babies on the weekends, or any time they want to go out, etc. It seems like everyone else gets a sitter at least once a week! As much as our family loves our daughter, they dont have the time to take her that often, and honestly, we wouldnt WANT her to be gone that long. Makes me kinda feel like everyone else gets off easy and has no idea what its like to be a 24/7 parent

Just curious what the experiences of other people are :)

Okay...so I'm on birth control, and I've been taking it everyday at the same time for a few months, but this month I have became a little lazy because my boyfriend and I are getting married soon, and I haven't been taking my birth control at the same time everyday like..sometimes I'll take it at 9am..and sometimes at like 11pm, and once I missed a day. I know we're young and everything and don't need a kid right now, so do you think having done this increased my chances any?

A person who only wears Abercrombie, American Eagle, Hollister, or other places like that. Why? Is it to be popular. I really wonder why people only dress like this?

i am 20 years old and although i dont work i have a nice flat and i live with my partner who is working as hard as he can to make sure we have everything we need for the baby i did have a social worker wen i was 14 but that was just because my dad and i fought and i didnt go to school, i wasnt on drugs or commiting any crimes im very annoyed about this because im trying my best and i have support and its still not good enough i know i sound very neurotic but im upset. i was wondering if anyone knows why they would have me down as that considering that i have a sister who is a brilliant single mum to 2 kids and she isnt a social risk and shes raising her children alone. i would really appreciate any help and if u cant help thanks for listening to my rant anyway.

Im am a preschool teacher and a parent, and through my education and experience I see how my classes in child development have improved my parenting skills. I think it should be a requirement to be a parent to complete courses in child development before you have children. I beleieve it would cut neglect and abuse dramatically.

I've read that a lot of people had gotten the convertible seat but weren't happy because they wanted the infant carry seat for the baby. However, I have also read that people did not like the infant seat because the baby outgrew it so quickly and preferred the convertible seat.

So my question is which one do you prefer? AND
most importantly how did you carry your newborn-4 month old baby if you used the convertible seat and didn't have the carry seat???
