Pregnancy & Parenting - 11 February 2007

My daughter’s school are planning a residential trip for October, at an outdoor activity place in Devon, 4 hours drive away.
The trip is Monday to Friday, no contact aloud as it only upsets them!
Many of the parents are concerned.
This for most of the children is the first time away from home.
Should the school find somewhere closer or should it be a shorter trip (3 days maybe) or are we all just being over protective?

Hi! I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and recently I've noticed that when I lie down on my side both of my hips start to tingle. Its not painful in anyway its just very uncomfortable and it doesn't go away. I can no longer lay on my back as the baby is getting to big the pressure is uncomfortable. Obviously I can't sleep on my stomache so I'm feeling stuck on how to get a little rest with less discomfort.

Okay, I am a woman I do not have a baby or any kids but my friends are starting to have babies. Here's the weird thing about me ( I think its weird) everytime im in any store: deparment store, warlmat, target.... I always make my way to the baby aisle either to buy my friends babies a couple of items or babyshower gifts for whenever or just to look at the baby clothes and accessories. I always stage a front like I dont want babies right now but when I see my friends with their babies or pregnant it makes me want to just put my education on hold and have a baby.Im not dumb I have a couple of degrees.but would you think I was a bit weird by looking in the baby aisle and not purchasing anything. just looking or buying my friends babies alot of items or asking my friends for a photo of them and their baby? my family says im baby crazy.

Ok, so I am 14 and i am a level 8/9(depending on how you look at it) gymnast. This means i go to the gym 6 days a week(unless my competition is on a Saturday, then 5 days a week), for 4 hours, plus have competitions every weekend. So at the gym I go to, they have a boys team also(my brother is on it). Their scheduale is the same as the optional girls so I am there the exact same hours as them. So, parents, would you let your 14 year old daughter go out with a 16 year old guy? If you knew the guy and that he was responsible, and nice, and you knew his parents really well too?

So about 4 weeks ago my girlfriend had her period and ended on a thursday. We had unprotected sex on saturday i know stupid you dont need to tell me. She took the plan b on tteusday which was three days after we had sex. the next week she had the side affect of the heavier dark brown period which is a side affect. but then the next day her period went back to normal color and ended the next friday. That was a week ago. So this week she said that she thinks her boobs are growing which could be happening but that is also a sign of pregnancy. She said that she has been waking up the last couple days with migrains as well. And she has been really tired She also has montgomery glands around her nipples which are normal even if not pregnant but they are stick out more. its the 3rd week since we had sex so she took a pregnancy test and it came up negative. But if anyone has had experience with this I would like to know if its normal or if she could be preganant. i know go to a doctor.

When I read posts about IVF or international adoption, many people say that these options are stupid, and why not adopt one of the many homelss American kids. Where exactly are these kids? All of the couples I know have been waiting years and going through hell to find an American child. The kids I have seen in foster care are usually older, or a different race than I am, or developmentally handicapped, and I wonder, would all of the people who so easily suggest American adoption choose to adopt a child of a different race, 14 years old, with a physical or mental handicap? Or do people who have not faced adoption just not realize that American babies are a very rare commodity that usually take lots of money and many years to find?

I´m trying to get some realistic info and advice,I know theres loads of facts online...I heard that if you stop before theyre"ready"(are they ever ready?) it can be extremely stressful or traumatic for the child. Also, what is a realistic age for bottle weaning? Thanks!
