My head is spinning. I don't know what to do. My period was late so I took a test and it was positive. Yikes. My husband and I have a 2.5 year old boy already. We both work(ed) full-time, opposite shifts, until last month when my husband lost his job! The bills are piling up and now I'm pregnant and very scared.

As it is, my husband and I don't get along that great, but yet he still wants sex often. Because of the emotional instability of our marriage I rarely want sex. I do "give in" occassionally. Our "birth control" method was him pulling out. Not the safest birth control method, which is evident now that I'm pregnant.

I have so much pressure on me right now and I feel that Not having another baby is my only choice. I feel terrible though because there are so many wonderful couples who can't have kids, and then here I am pregnant and not sure what to do. Am I meant to have this new baby?

I would really, really appreciate any support or advice.

I have 2 betta's that she bought last week after my other 2 passed away. Now I found saw some really awesome fancy guppies and I fell in love. I want a tank of them. I'm a fish fanatic. But right now I only have 2 betta's I love my mom and don't want to be unfrair to her. Would it be bratty or ungrateful to ask her to buy to buy me a fishtank and the fancy guppies?

He has her for 2 nights a week, and I have the other 5 nights. He doesnt want her to eat pork because of his religion. However, he does not take her to services, or hasnt done any rites or anything on her like his other kids have had. I dont know how i feel, cause we eat pork around here a lot. Should I stop feeding her pork?

I'm a teenager and my parents yell at me when I sleep in on the weekends or on days when I don't have school. I've heard that sleeping is good for teens, is that really true?

Alright my doctor had told me that I wasn't ovulating and haven't been for a while (after reviewing my charts) but I wasn't going to let that discourage me from still testing with ovulation predictor kits. so I have been using one everyday for the last few days and yesterday I got my positive ( doctors aren't always right I suppose) and along with that positive I was having the most horrible ovulation pains followed by very heavy fertile discharge. So we had sex last night and then today I took another OPK and it was negative. Is it normal to only have one positive one for one day or should it have been longer. I know it detects the surges and all but my question is since the OPK is no longer positive does it mean that I already ovulated or do I still have one more night to try?? I am not expecting this month to become pregnant seeing as this is the first month in many that I have actually ovulated. Advise would be wonderful thanks

My son's test came back + for R.S.V. I'm so sared for him. He's been put on a breathing treatment. The doctor says watch on him close because he can go into respiratory distress. What should I do to help him and what does R.S.V. really do to him. ( I'm also a litte mad because I've been breastfeeding this whole time.)

I took the advice on going and visiting before I leave them w/ the new sitter. My four year old was fine. My 15 month old seemed OK. But now what if I go to leave and she cries? Then what? Go ahead and leave? I'm really torn up over this. I'm loosing sleep worrying about it.

My eldest is called Tao (pronounced Tay-oh), does anyone else's child have an unusual name and do they like it or hate it?
Tao is 13 and at the moment he hates his name because it is different.....but I'm sure when he gets older he will love the fact that it is unusual.

why does women get upset when their husband don't plan to make it to the birth of their son or daughter? I know the husband was the one who created the baby but still, she can go through the baby birth by herself. I did to my wife but she really got upset. I was there for her for 8 months, and I went to vacation on the 9th month so I made myself cannot be there. Why is that wrong?

I still have not had a period since before I was pregnant and I have noticed that for the past 3 months I have had cramps that occur every 4 weeks (like a period, but no period). Pregnancy test was negative. Just wondering why my nipples are so sore all of the sudden. Has this happened to anyone else out there?
