i have been reading alot of questions, and answers. and I've noticed one thing that has me confused. maybe someone can help me with this.

if a woman gets preganant, and chooses to end the pregnancy users call her a "baby killer" and other things. i understand you have a right to your opinion, but thats not what confuses me.

if a woman who is pregnant, decides that abortion is wrong, wants to continue the pregnancy but has a limited source of income, and asks a question about public assistance some of the same users say "get off public assitance, get a job, stop using tax payers money".

now thats the confusing part. wouldnt a person who is against abortion be for public assistance when it comes to saving a baby? i really want to know because im confused.

I went for a growth scan today and was told the baby is big - she currently weighs 3lb 5oz - which for this gestation is on the 97th percentile.
Do you think I will have a big baby or something is wrong with her?

My partner and I are currently trying to concieve, I was just wondering if you'd like to share some of the great moments/highlights/things that make it all worthwhile of being a parent!
I like the warm fuzzies, and it makes it expecting seem so rosy! :)

I am always informed of the negative things (screaming, getting no sleep, painful breastfeeding etc) so what are in your opinion the positives that outweigh these?

Thanks!!

I was wondering if babies are fatter/gain more weight if they are formula fed versus breast milk fed babies. I have an 11 month old baby girl and have always breast fed her. I wouldn't do it any other way! But I recently had a discussion that formula fed babies are skinnier than breastfed babies because parents give the bottle to formula fed babies (measure the exact quantities). I pump during the day since I work full time but the evenings/weekends she gets the boob so I'm not sure how much she eats but she stops when she's full. Obviously now she eats solids but during the first 6 months she was exclusively breast fed and was always in the 25th percentile or less for her weight. This question isn't about whether formula is better/worse than breastmilk......

My husband wants me to have a baby (we´ve been married four years - I will be 30 in Oct) but I am really afraid of pregnancy. More than all, giving birth. It this normal?

And he has been since about week 28 and I'm now 34 weeks pregnant, do you think he'll stay that way until I deliver? He hasn't changed the head down position since 28 weeks and he is facing my back...is it possible he could still turn? Cause that would be so disappointing!

I'm 34 weeks pregnant, going on 35 weeks or already there and my prenatal is tomorrow, but they haven't checked or even spoken about checking my cervix. Can I ask them to check it? I've tried checking it myself like 3 times and for the life of me I can NOT reach that thing to save my life. lol, plus it hurts to try and reach up that far. Do you think they will if I ask?

At 8 weeks the doc tried to hear the heartbeat with a doppler b/c i thought i was actually 12 weeks. He couldn't hear it so they did a vaginal ultrasound and heard it that way. The tech said no wonder the dr. couldn't hear it b/c my uterus is tilited. Does this mean he might not be able to hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks with a doppler? will they do an ultrasound again to hear it? it will freak me out if i don't hear the heartbeat.

so rude. lsn't this a forum for asking honest questions, and expressing opinions? I think the way some parents take offense shows that they are obviously insecure about something, perhaps their own poor parenting skills? Yes l have children, yes they have days where they play me up no end, and yes, l have the same wealth of experience as any other parent (possibly more than some). Why do people respond like this?

This is my first child and I tried for 4 long years to get pregnant and now that I am I always freak out if I dont feel him kick when I want him to. Is this normal. I just want to have a normal easy pregnancy and a healthy baby boy. I just read to many books about still-born and babies that have problems when they are born. I just hope and pray for the best everyday. Please talk to me about this issue. Please no silly answers and thanks in advance

Hi there! My daughter Emma is 9 months old, and really does not care for a sippy cup. I have tried all kinds, different brands, etc. The only thing she will drink water from is a water bottle with one of those squirt tops on them. Any suggestions?

I can't understand the concept. Thou shall not kill??? People are put in prison and sometimes to death for killing another person.. but abortion is legal..?? Hmm.. And they have made safe places to drop off a unwanted baby to be placed into adoption.. I just don't get it! Thanks for your answer.

My daughter is 2 weeks old, I was wondering what are your thoughts on doing the south beach while breast feeding? And yes, I am going to ask my doctor on Tuesday. Just wanted some advice from the outside world. Thanks

People say "oh it was an accident" This kind of accident is preventable and is under your control. So why have or kill an unwanted baby because of your dumb mistake??? I am fed up with seeing all of these "what do I do I can't have a baby?" "Should I abort?" UHHHH!! Get it together!

i told my girlfriend this position wouldn't get her pregnant and she trusted me and so we did it, and she got pregnant. she is suing me for child support now and very mad at me. We are dating for 2 months. I love her. I don't want to be away from her. She is 1 month pregnant. We are thinking of abortion. Is that a good idea?
