ok here I am 9 days over due and we have tried everything...rasberry leaf, pineapple, sex, bouncing on a ball, walking, even castor oil and this baby will not come out. They let you go 14 days over here in the UK but i dont think i can handle another 5 days. Has anyone got anything we have not tried?

My husband just started this job in october and i am having a c section on a friday and we were wandering how long the paternity leave for him is because i have two other young children that will need care while i am recooperating? He has not yet been there for a year so is not covered by the FLMA and has no vacation or sick leave either but how long can he stay home without getting fired.

Mine is happening right now. He is at the table declaring he will not eat tea. I am over his fussiness (he is 8). He has been sitting for 30 minutes so far. He has even volunteered to have his mouth washed out with soap to get out of eating. he has offered up giving up all his after school activities(which he loves). Havn't had a time like this with him since he was little. He has always been fussy but he had gotten better, or so I thought. So this screaming fit of his has prompted me to ask....what is the biggest battle you have had with your child and at what age?

OK, for future reference we'd like some suggestions for a boys first name who's second name would be Jonathan and last name Watson. We like the idea of being able to call him JJ or AJ for short. Cannot have Andrew, as its already in the family.

Suggestions welcome obvioulsy. We'd consider uncommon names so long as the name as a whole wasn't overly long and they're unknown all together kind of thing. If you think of any other names starting a different letter, but would create a good nickname, please let us know.

We once thought of Oliver, what are your thoughts on this name?

Thanks in advance.

I and my girlfriend had sex last month(9/6). She is 18. Sex is not getting periods for the past 60 days. She says her periods are generally irregular, but not as irregular as now.We want to avoid pregnancy. Till when is it safe to abort with out any signs. Is there any cure taking tablets. Suggest any other safe method.

Ok, I need to know if my soon to be Ex-Brother-In-Law is messing with my sister to get more money from her. He says that their son has just been diagnosed with Stage 2 Autism with ADD. I try to look up info on that on the web to try to see if there was anything I could do to help.......And could find nothing.

My partner had a one night stand with one of his friends 2months before he and I started dating. ONe month into our relationship I found out she was pregnant and I decided to support him when he told me she was going to keep the baby and he wanted to be apart of the childs life. It has taken awhile for the reality of the situation to sink in and now I am freaking out! I'm not sure my partner realises what he is getting in to either and I wonder how the four of us (baby, mother, my man and myself) will work it all out. Are there any books about theses types of situations? All the book I have found are about divorced parenting or raising your child when you are in a happy relationship... I can't find anything relevant to our situation. Does anyone have any advice??? (PS We are all in our early 20s)

I know this might sound stupid but i was wondering if it matters what time of the day i take a pregnancy test. I know its better in the morning with the first urine, but does it have to be the morning. I work late and sleep until between 12 and 2 pm. Will that make a difference? Should i test in the morning even if i have only been sleeping a couple hours?
thanks!

I am open to different options at this point. We have been trying to conceive for 14 months now with no luck. I used to be on birth control and 5 pills of metformin/day from 17-21/22 years old. Since I have hypoglycemia I had to take an additional medication because the metformin was taking my sugar levels too low. Obviously taking birth control isn't my first choice since we are still trying to conceive. What other options are out there. Someone told me to drink spearmint tea, that it would help, I have also been told to drink green tea.

My partner knows that I want to have kids and that I am ready now.. but I am waiting until he is also ready.. but I have recently missed a couple of my pills as i was away and didnt take them with me and i also realised that some medication i was taking affects the pill also.

The pill is the only contraceptive we are using at the moment and he has always told me that if i do get pregnant unexpectedly he will stick by me and be happy about it.

What do i do if i turn out to be pregnant? (I cant test for another 10 days or so) but i really dont want him to think i was going behind his back because i wasnt!

What do I do?

..I'm really nervous..

My husband and I have one son:

Ian (after my father in law) Carle (after my father)

we are expecting our second son this coming september and we are naming him:

Shaun (after a dear friend who passed away) Forsythe (after my husband's Scottish clan).

We have had the name Shaun picked out before I even became pregnant. My father in law recently called to tell me he would prefer it if I would choose a different name for our new son because he already knows too many Shauns and he would like something new. Then he told me he strongly recommends we name the baby "Andrew Stewart" (Stewart after his brother!!) Now every time I see him, he pulls me aside and tries to convince me to change names! I have kindly told him that we are very settled on the name Shaun and it holds special significance to both my husband and myself, but it just doesn't seem to sink in!

Since when does the grandparent name the child??

My husband and I have been TTC for over 3 years now with no success. We've seen a RE and tried drugs, tests, procedures, BBT, OPK's, fertility monitors, herbs, etc. We have done what is within our financial scope to have a baby. At what point do you say enough and stop trying? How do you make the choice to live childfree?

I have always thought you ovulate around 14 days after you start your period....but i have seen on several websites and things that it is less than that. Is there really any way to know or does it jus depend on the person?!
