Pregnancy & Parenting - 31 May 2007

My daughter's ex-best friend was always a bad influence. This girl is drinking, having oral sex with many partners, smoking pot, getting ready to try coke, driving without a license or permit, doing "shrooms", and is in to weird death stuff.

I know it is none of my buisness but they do live near me and I don't want the girl driving near my house drunk with my kids outside playing. I would want to know if my child was doing this wouldn't you.

The girl is 16.

And also my daughter- my finacee adopted after having her for a foster child since she was a baby, I didn't want anyone thinking I had her at like 8 since i'm 24.

I have been dating my B/F for the last five years. About three years ago he said that he does not want kids. He say he likes to come home from work and not have to deal with crying baby, ect. ect. I have been taking birth control the last five years. We had a talk the other day about kids I told him I didnt want to give up my dream of having children and he said that he would "freak out," if I got pregnant. So yesterday I told him that, "We have been doing it your way for 5 years now. Its about time we start doing it my way. Starting with this..." and I took my birth control pills and threw them in the garbage right in front of him. He pulled them out and put them back in my purse. So later in the evening we went and got drunk and came back home. He started to put the moves on me and before it went too far I told him that I didnt take my birth contol pill that day and that i wasnt going to. He still wanted to have sex. Is this wrong, is it "trapping" him?

My 3 wk old must have at least 20-30min of rocking and nursing before she will go to sleep throughout the day and the night. She is also waking up after about one hours sleep lately and then needing nursing again! Does anyone have ideas what to do. When I put her in her cot she will cry uncontrollably until she is picked up.

Is it sometimes ok to spank if you dont lose your temper and dont use it for everthing? If your child does something to harm themselves or another child should you spank? if time outs havent worked for over 6 months?

I am sick and tired of sother mum's discussing how wonderful their own daughters are and how the boys at school are always misbehaving. I have three boys and sure they are full on but they are just different to girls. i am tried of feeling I have to apologize for the behaviour of boys in general. My children are not spoilt and I raise them with a lot of discipline and love and care.

In February my close friend got pregnant with her first child after being with her husband for 3 years.. we were happy for her!
A month later another of my friends got pregnant with her 2nd child after getting off b/c just a month prior to that.. we were.. happy for her!
Then, this week I find out that my brother's wife is also pregnant after being off of b/c for 2 months. THEN today, she went to the doctor and found out she was having TWINS.

We were..... PISSED OFF.

We've been having unprotected, timed sex for 4 years now with NO LUCK AT ALL. We've wanted kids so badly since we first got together and its so heartbreaking to see that everyone you know is pregnant but you. Im just so sad anymore about it :(
And I havent had my period since March 17 and Ive taken like 452345 pregnancy test and all negative!
I think Im goin crazy :(

I have a friend at work who was pregnant and had a miscarriage, but I didnt know, and asked her how the baby was... The she told me about the miscarriage. I said Im sorry, and hugged her, but then had no idea what else to say. What do you say in this situation to console the person?

My son is only ten months old but he has learned to arch his back and scream if I tell him no no or If he gets ahold of something that he shouldnt have and I take it, he will fall to the floor and cry like he is being beat! I dont use a mean voice or scold him I just give a firm no no...so i'm not sure if he gets his feelings hurt or what but He is my first baby but I feel like its too early for him to be behaving this way!! How do I handle a tantrum? Do I tell him no when he throws a fit even though thats what started the whole tantrum in the first place???

Hi- My husband and I are trying to have a baby. We do not have any children. The first day of my period was May 6th...lasts about 5 days. My cycle is 31 days almost exact every month. We had sex every other day the week of ovulation.

I have heard that some women "just feel" pregnant before they get a postive test. What is the "just feeling pregnant" like? I feel different... breasts heavy and sore. I have been soo tired all week long. Sleeping 10-14 hours a night (I usually sleep 4-6hrs). I get nauseated every once in a while. I "feel pregnant" but dont know if its wishful thinking or the real deal. Its too early to tell. Are these signs of "just feeling pregnant"? we have been trying for a few months... I am affraid its just all in my head. Thanks!

I am going to be induced on Tuesday and the doctor will break my water for me. Will it hurt? I was going to try and hold out on the epidural as long as I could. I am so nervous. What does he use to break the water? His hand or what?
