Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 June 2007

I'm looking for beautiful Italian names that are more or can be Americanized so the child won't be made fun of.

I don't like Bella. I like Lia (Leah) or names more feminine and realistic like that. Thanks!

I saw something underneath my 8 month old's skin on her arm while I was bathing her. It's very small and looks as if it could be the lead to one of those mechanical pencils. I have a four year old, I asked him if he might of done this. I am 99.5% sure he didn't do it-not his style. The skin is also very slightly raised but not red. Could it be a tick?

My friend lent the book to me last night and I sat down and started reading it and couldn't believe some of the practices it suggested. Anyone else think this book is strange? I'm trying to best prepare myself before the birth of my child, but part of me thinks I should just wing it. Suggestions?

The preg. was guessed at 7wks from my lmp, but the u/s tech said the uterus showed to be 5wks 2d. This is my 4th preg, with 3 previous uneventful preg. I don't know how I can possibly wait 2 weeks until I find out anything more

Which one do you like best?
Kara Elizabeth or Kara Ann.
Also any other middle name suggestions are welcome. Last name rhymes with Kelsey.

I am 8 days late for my period and starting yesterday I was feeling nauscious and dizzy. I've taken 2 tests both -. I know you think ok 2 tests both -, you're not pregnant. But I miscarried in March and when I was testing for that pregnancy I had to take 4 tests before the 5th one was positive.

So could my dizziness and lil tid bits of nausciousness throughout the day be a sign I am pregnant?

My husband and I are TTC.

I am currently 15 but I will be 16 in December. I really would like to have a job at least during the summer to earn a little money and not always ask my mom for some. But the problem is that she says that I am too young and says that they only hire people at 16 and older. She thinks that I should be focusing on my studies, but I only want a job during the summer. I am not sure what the legal age to have a job is in Texas though. But what could I say to my mom to convince her to let me have a job?

What do you think of the name Madeline Marie for a girl?

Madeline is pronounced Madalyn but I like the spelling of Madeline.

I'm pregnant and thinking about this name.

My daughter is almost 4 weeks old. My mother told me and my husband that we needed to get out, and that she would watch Samantha ALL NIGHT. I know that we need the break, and I know that we need the sleep (heck, we haven't slept in a month).

When I left, though, I was absolutely horrified that something bad would happen to my daughter (even though my mother has CONSTANTLY taken care of my eight year old son since he was an infant)... I'm scared to death of leaving her alone...

Please tell me that this is normal... I miss her SOOO much ALREADY, and I just left her with my parents about an hour ago. :(

She has problems with frequent ear infections and fluid in her ears. Could that be part of the problem?

I had sex with my boyfriend on June 14th, and he ejaculated in a condom, but about 5 minutes later did NOT use a condom, and I fear he may have still had semen on him, and I haven't felt normal since. I'm afraid I may be pregnant. What is the soonest I can go see a doctor to have a blood test taken for accurate results, and approximately how much does it cost?

Thanks! -CmurdasGirl

I had a c-section with my first pregnancy when I had twins. Now that I am on my second pregnancy I would like to try to do natural birth since I had a bad experience with the c section the first time around. I am getting advice from family members to go ahead and do a c-section which I am really against at this point. Im basicall asking other parents out there who have had both types procedures, who could shed a little more light into what I am trying to do. Thanks

My daughter is 13 and went over to her best friends house. Her friends brother is 14 and had a paint ball gun. He came in the house with it and thought it was "funny" to shoot my daughter in the back with it and now she has three welts the size of golfballs on her back. What should I do?

I don't want to mess up or make a bad 1st impression on the kid. He is going to be 3 and I've never babysat a kid that young. Any advice would be great. How could I make his parents feel assured that I will take good care of their kid? His parents are bringing him over tonight for me to meet him, and what are some things I can do to get the kid to like me?

hey everyone,

i am currently 14 weeks pregnant. i notice that my clothes are starting to get a little tighter, but not tight enough that i need to go buy new clothes yet, but soon i will

i just wanted to ask when everyone on here started buying maternity clothes. at what week during your pregnancy did you start wearing them. yes i know everyone is different and starts wearing them at different times, i was just curious as to when all of you started wearing them.

also do you have any recommendation as to what to buy and where to get it? anything i should avoid? i am not due until december so i will have to buy clothes that can go from the end of sumer into fall and beginning of winter.

thanks for any help or advice you have!!!

take care!

my cousin that is 14 years old is pregnant and im mad at her because i think she should have known to not have sex.(well at least have protected sex) im 16 years old and i thought i had tought her better (as the big cousin) . but they dont listen. life is 2 short 2 be having babies when you are just a baby. dont you agree? i think while your young you should try to live instead of having sex. life is 2 short for me to try to be out there having sex and having babies. im trying to live my life and get an education first. i have the rest of my life to have kids . i just wish i could have got that through my cousin head.
