I was just in the shower and I was washing down there and had some discharge. It was a clear stringy glob. With a little white discharge mixed in. About as much as a nickel maybe more. Then a little more came out. No blood or other color. Could this be the beginning of my MP or just extra discharge? I am 34 weeks along. But my Dr said if I went into labor anytime from 35 and on he would not stop my labor. How much comes out and how often? Will it continue to come out over the next day or two. This is my second pregnancy but with my first I do not remember losing it. I have had a rough pregnancy and have dealt with bad morning sickness lasting the whole first trimester and half of second, gallstones with bad attacks. So I am ready to get this over with. I know I am early now . Just wondering if this could be my MP and how long after usually do you have the baby. Thanks

I'm 15yrs old and have a 4 1/2yr old half brother Matt. I'v never really known my father but my step-father was in my life since I was 9 and sadly he died about a year ago leaving my mom to bring up my brother and I alone.

Since then its been pretty rocky in my house, of course we have all been very upset over his death but it has especially effected my Mom. My mom has started getting more and more annoyed with the little things we do.

She sometimes spanks him, and by the way before you all start saying "go get help shes abusing him" I wouldn't be posting this if she was I would be off getting help already, its just like a small spank he does;t cry for more then a second i think its more the shock then the pain (and no im not trying to justify it) but still its a spank..

I'v tried talking to my mom and shes always says later, when she does listen she says she still upset about Marco(step-dad)'s death and then for a week or something suddenly shes "Miss amazing mom" then shes

I have had 2 miscarraiges within the first month and i cant even get pregnant and i dont know what to do. Me and my partner have sex pretty often and i try tracking my ovulation but its not very easy for me. I went to my obgyn and she did a pap and cervical exam and also did bloodwork but only checked for clotting disorder which came back negative. What else could be wrong with me?

I was curious - I was thinking of simply getting a rubbish bin with a foot pedal that controls the lid and some bin liners instead of spending money on a disposal unit (the ones that wrap the diapers up in that plastic wrap like stuff...)

Does anyone know if a normal bin keep the smell in just as well?

I have tried chores at age 4 and age 5 but nothing. I have tried to bribe, punish and nothing. I cant seem to find a way to get her to help out. She will get out toys to play with and wont pick them up and put them back. She always has an excuse. I have even asked days in a row and she wont pick anything up. A reward system doesnt help. I am lost please help. I am due to have a baby in June and need her help cause I am on bed rest.

my husband I are weighing wether we should start a family or not. We both really want too but we wonder if we are finacially stable enough to do that.Here are the numbers
1. monthly income after taxes 3,000+
2. Credit card debt of 1,000
3. car loan of 311
4. Do not own a home
5. Have nothing in savings.
We just recently paid off two loans equalling around 10,000 dollars so we have nothing in savings. and we haven't bought a house yet because we haven't found anything we like. I think it would be wise to a job for at least a year to help save. But in other aspects i hear if you wait till you have "money" to have kids you never will have them. Im not sure do you "the reader" think we are finacially stable enough to have children

I thought i was going into the hospital to deliver my baby boy. All checkups were fine. I had visited the doctor one week prior and heard the heart beat. I do take synthroid to comensate for my thyroid problems. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? and if so how did you get over it?

I have always tended to think that most men don't respect women the way they should and often use these women for sex and fun, rather than treat women as equals to be won and validated.

If women are upset with this, why don't mothers tell their sons how to be good people and good husbands. I think that it would help things.

I've never met him or talked to him.
But I think he knows who I am becuase ever since the first day of the school year he's been staring at me. Not once, twice, or three times. Every. Single. Day.
I started liking him and looked back. He would usually look away but, he has looked in my eyes a couple times.

The only class I have with him is homeroom. We just got assigned new seats today (but we didn't move yet) and he in the third seat of the first row and I sit at the first seat of the second row.

I was thinking about giving him a note. Would this be a good idea? Or not? Why?
What are other things I could do?

I don't know If I could talk to him face to face because of the 'staring game' we played on a daily basis.

I was at this little party thing at my college and we were watching a short slide with film and this adult guy kept talking to me even though I barely paid attention to him but he didn't notice or care. He kept talking to me - for FOUR hours.

See, after the first hour where I acted pretty much like a wall, I afterwards started talking to him. By the time every one left and some girls practicing dance came in, he kept touching my hands A LOT (he wouldn't let go... every time I moved my hands away he grabbed them again) and said he was a massage therapist who likes to make women feel warm and comfortable. It really creeped me out. He kept touching me on my body talking about reflexology and about how well I may feel comfortable with guys to the point of kissing them. I told him I've never kissed anyone so I could change the subject but then he touched me on my lips with his fingers and said I'd probably be awkward at kissing - that I'm not in my "comfort zone. Then he tried to kiss me.

My wife and I plan on adopting our first child a few years down the road from China. The conditions in the the orphanages are awful, and though the opportunity to be a great father for the rest of my life is priceless, the process is very economical and babies are available. We will probably have one or two children naturally after the adoption.

My intentions are to give all my love to our adopted daughter, and treat her no different than as if she was my own, but as adopted children grow older and realize where they came from, is it hard to keep a parental bond with them? I would love the opportunity to be a loving father figure for this child for the rest of my life. Is there anything I can do to help our future daughter feel like she has a permanent place in our family?

this involves my previous question with the names. the reason i asked that question is because i can't stand my name. Way too many people have it. i love names that are unique and beautiful. That are different and seem to make a statement. A name that can say a thousand things in just a couple of letters. I would have loved to have any of the other names in my other question. One of my previous goals besides publishing the book im writing is to create the perfect name that goes with all the things i just said. Can anyone even remotely relate to me, or am i just that weird (not that im complaining)??? does anybody have any good names???
