My boyfriend wants to give our child the name of some science fiction character out of a Stephen King novel or some Lord of the Rings name...

It's really terrible. He's come up with things like "Irylath, Rhayna, Raven"

Raven is the worst. I was thinking Zoe would be cute. Anyone else have issues with husbands/boyfriends/fiances having bad taste?? Im not naming my kid Obi Won Kinobi!

Nothing too strenuous, but enough to get the heart pumping. Do you think this in any way harmed the baby? Is it safe to continue doing them, or should I stop?

My sister (17) went to this party and messed around with this guy she barely knew. She took a test then went to the doctor and learned that she was pregnant. Then my friend (19) likes her but has always been too scared to ask her out and I recently told him to ask her out but he said he was too busy.
They're perfect for each other and we've all known each other for years. The baby's father is weird and wants her to move with him back to New York (from Texas) so he can finish college while still being with her and the baby.
Shes not really showing signs of actual being pregnant and started going to summer school (to see if she can finish high school by the winter). I want her to stay and our parents wouldn't be mad (they don't know). The only way she'll stay is if he asks her out! She likes him, she has told me before that she does.
So what should I do? Should I tell him that shes pregnant or what?

Hello!! I'm 33 y/o & am happily married!Catherine Ella is my full name, but you can just call me Ella. I have 3 children, they are all girls! Their names are: Charianna Rose 5 yo
Danielle Elizabeth 2 y/o will be 3 in July
Caroline Scarlett 8 months (she goes by Scarlett!) Oh! By the way for the people who were wondering Charianna is pronounced (chair-E-aNNa) The name of twin #1 will be Anabella Renne. The name of twin #2 will be Ansley Grace. The problem is though, Charianna is not responding to this news well. At first she didn't seem to mind it but now she is crying, screaming, and constanly having fits about it! She's been through this 2 times already so I don't know why she's making such a big deal out of it. What are some ways to ease her into the idea that she's going to have 2 new siblings?? She is a very social child and enjoys coloring and all normal activities for her age. (playing house etc.) So why is she taking this sooooo hard??

For awhile now my b/f hasn't been able to see his daughter because his ex is not letting him. Her excuse is its the kids decision if she wants to go or not. THE KID IS 5 YEARS OLD!! What kid would want to be away from their mom at that age. He doesn't pay child support and he has no problem paying it if he had too. He just wants to see his daughter! Can anyone help with some ideas or laws that you know of to help our situation. PLEASE PLEASE!!!

I am having chronic peptic ulcer disease and Doctor has given me Aciphex and Tylenol #3. I am avoiding to feed my 61/2 months old daughter. But she is not ready to eat formula with bottle, juicy cup and etc. I have tried with everything. But she eats formula when I mix it with cereals.
She needs breastmilk in the night and if I don't give her she cries badly. So I feed her once at night. I just want to know that how harmful are the drugs for my baby,because I fed her 4 times after taking those medicines.

I feel like a horrible Mother. I have a son thats almost 4 months old. I have a lot of health problems. I have a nurse that comes to my house to give me medication, I have awful dysmennorhea, I'm hypoglycemic something awful, I have arthritis in my hip, and many of my problems mostly gauchers Disease make me verrrry fatigued. A lot of days I can't play with him much and it seems like he is just a huge bother to me, cuz i feel so crappy. He is heavy and I cant carry him far.

He's just a little baby, I fear what happens when he's a little older and wants to be really active and playwith me all day. He wont understand whats wrong with me, he'll just think I'm a crappy boring mom.

I don't wanna be a bad mom and I try really hard to get up as much as possible and be with him, do you think he'll understand when he's a little boy or will I just look like an awful parent?

I'm curious, I am a biologist and mom and an avid breastfeeder. There are still a lot of moms who formula-feed their babies and I was wondering why? I am curious if the doctor and the hospital didn't tell you about the difference between formula and breastmilk or the dramatic deficits in formulas? Do you think its more work (which I can categorically dispel)? Is it too big a sacrifice not to drink etc? I don't want rants from other breastfeeders, we all know that breast is best. I just don't understand why anyone would choose to formula-feed and would like to. We should support each other as women and understanding is the first step to that.

Hi All,

I am 25 weeks pregnant and about ready to start shopping for my little girl. We are trying to decide what to buy. A crib or a play n pack. We will be going through a transition with moving so we will have a small place. We will have room for a crib or pack n play but they will both need to be in our room. Can a new born sleep in a pack n play. Which one do you suggest i buy? Any good places i should shop for quality items for a cheap price.

Thank for your response. =)

hi everyone i just have a question. well i have pcos and my doctor put me on clomid. i took it's and it's was only on it for five days. so my point is that he said i would Ovulation on the 6th though 13th of this month and he would want me to come in and check if i was pregant on the 15th. so i want to know is i thought it's took 2 week or long to find out if you are pregant and my another question is how long does the ovulation last. or should i not wait around for me to ovulation and do it every day so my chances are better? any advise will help me but serious one. thank you

1 week ago i had a skull Xray around the time of ovulating (i don't know exactly weather it was before or during ovulating), me and my man are trying to concieve so we still dont know if i am pregnant or not, we are just worried that if my egg got fertilized just befor the skull Xray what could happen to my unborn child. I had a little bleeding for about 5mins the night 26th and had my Xray on the 29th, so i dont know what the bleeding is about i just hope to god i got pregnant after the Xray (that is if i am). I have been on Birth control Diane 35 four 3 years and this is my 1st month of the pill and trying to concieve. Please i just realy want to know what the damgers could be of my Skull xray.
