Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 June 2007

My husband and I want to draw up a will just in case something happens to us, so that there will be no question of who gets custody of our children. We have a 3-year-old and I am also 6 months pregnant. My husband has no siblings and I have one brother who is in his late twenties. He is newly married (she is 30). They are both physically healthy, and emotionally and financially stable. Here's the dilemma: they are not sure if they want to have children or not. Granted, they are very fond of my son and great with him, and they may decide to have children in the future . But I would hate for them to be granted custody and have them resent my children for tying them down or whatever. Should we have a conversation with them both about this? It would be awkward and I'm not sure how to approach them. Any suggestions? We would like to keep them with someone in the family but it would be hard to choose which set of our parents to give them to.

My daughter is only 2 months old and she is exclusively breastfed. The other day I felt a little off, like I could be pregnant so I got a test. The test I took showed a very faint line, like you almost had to strain your eyes to see it. I'm gonna get a test that is more sensitive tonight. I know that it is very unlikely, right?

My husband and I cannot decide on a name for our baby girl to be so we figured we'de let the public debate or vote on one. So which one Ava or Samantha? We both have dark brown hair and blue eyes so she probably will too.

I was due for my period on Sunday June 3rd. Over the last week I have been having milky white discharge and have had some cramping. The discharge is not normal with my period. This is my 2nd month trying TTC. Should I test now or wait a couple of more days?

I took 2 different at home pregnancy tests late last week-both positivie! I went to the dr.s office on friday for a blood test. The Dr. called today and said congratulations I was pregnant, but asked me to come in for another blood test to make sure the hormone was going up. Is this common? Kinda worried I have to retest. Thanks

I like Jimothy but everyone keeps saying what about Timothy? What's wrong with Jimothy?

I also like Freck as a middle name and love Millard. And really, why do so many of you have a problem with Lucius Tang? Tang is a yummy astronaut drink.

I am trying to correctly calculate my due date. I've been told by my OB that my due date is January 7th, which makes me 9 weeks pregnant today. I know that I conceived on April 7th. Considering this, I feel like I might be a bit further along than my OB said. I also had an ultrasound 2 1/2 weeks ago; the tech said I looked about 6 1/2 weeks. My mother told me she always carried "small". Anyone know how I might calculate my due date a bit more accurately?

My son is 16 almost 17 and my hubby had a total FIT because I bought him condoms. He has been dating the same girl for over a year and he said they were close to actually doing the deed and he asked me if I would get them for him. I did let him know how serious it is so have sex with all the pluses and minuses but if he is going to have sex- hey - he is gonna have sex. I saw it as my duty as his mother who loves him to get him the protection he asked me for. Was I wrong? I dont think I was! Im just glad he and I are close enough that he felt he could come to me and ask me!

I am the proud mommy of one awesome little guy, Brody. I like very cute, a tad unusuall names for little ones. Nothing crazy, just not heard too much. I recently had a miscarriage. The babys name was Reily (my grandmas name). It sounded so nice with Brody and was an either or name. We are not stopping trying until I have another love to spoil. How do you all like the name Maisen or a boy or girl? Is that spelling too feminie for a little guy? What do you all think?

I am just curious as to this because it would cut down on single teen mothers, women wouldn't be sleeping with tons of differnet guys, they'd only be sleeping with their husbands, they'd be provided for all their lives unless the husband died, the parents of these women wouldn't need to worry about their daughters getting knocked up outside of marriage. Girls are adults as soon as they get their first period in my religion(Islam) and women get married around 14. I'm wondering if women 12-19 would get married if it was legal.

We recently got back from being in Europe for three weeks (2 in London and 1 in Belgium). She drank the milk in London sporadically and said it was yucky at times. But when we arrived in Belgium the milk there apparently has has turned her off so badly (she was gagging on it and literally almost threw up her cereal due to the taste) that will NOT drink any milk now that we're home. She will not even drink the organic milk I always brought for her prior to our holiday. She drank minimum three cups a day, now she doesn't drink any. It has me worried since she has really not had any milk for about three weeks now. I even brought her new sippy cups, straws, etc. and nothing works. Any suggestions on how I can get her to drink her milk again?? (And yes I know I can and have substituted with cheese and yogurt but I don't feel that is enough calcium for her).

My aunt is pregnant with a baby girl, and has decided on the name Danica (that was actually my idea...the name of a character in my short story assignment!). But she's looking for a middle name...any suggestions are appreciated. The last name is Parker.

Oh, Danica means "morning star". Another name with a meaning that compliments "morning star" would be great, but anything that sounds good will be appreciated. Thanks!

80% of the comunication is about thier child but is mostly stuff tim could tell his dad(what he did at school/sports/what he ate at lunch ects).The other 20% is personal stuff about her(what her gyn told her,her father health,work issue ect) nothing to do with thier son.They have been divorced(he left her and she was very bitter about it) for 5yrs and she has been in and out of 5-6 relationships since then but has lots of friends she could talk to.My bf has joint custody and once called the school to get info about tims school activites.When his ex found out she was pissed her responce was "i allways make sure u get the stuff u need".Which is true but why would she care?its like she wants to be the one to hand him the stuff but why?My bf sees nothing wrong in what she is doing is it just me?

I have already asked this qusetion but i still need help... Anyways i am 21 and i was with my boyfriend for 6 years, we broke up 2 weeks ago cuz he wants to experience different things in life and i kind of do to. I found out last week that i am 6 weeks pregnant. When i told my ex his 1st reaction was get an abortion, & he is also not ready in his life right now to have a baby. So i have been thinking about having the abortion but i dont know if i can do it. Its not the babys fault that this wasnt planned & the parents arent ready & the parents arent getting back together is it? But i also dont know if i can do this on my own. I just dont think i can live with myself knowing that i had an abortion or knowing that i put a huge hold on someones life that i care deelpy about (the ex). Any nice advice would be helpful... Thanks...
