Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 July 2007

i;ve been speculating that i am pregnant for the past couple weeks. but have not taken a test yet. when i got my period the other day i though for sure that i wasn't. but then it stopped for a day and there was nothing. and starting last night it came back and has been extremely light. does this week that i could still be pregnant even with a light period?

My sister inlaw dumped off her children in my house, originally she told us, the children with be here only for the weekend, so I gladly invited them to come to stay, because I thought their parents will be staying too, at least that's what she said.

On the same day after their arrival, she and her husband droved off, and left the children with us. Didn't leave them any food, money, and we called her asking her when she'll be picking them up, she said she would like them to stay for the entire summer vacation. This is so crazy! I know she doesn't have money to sent them off to summer school, but to pull a trick like that on us is unthinkable, what are we going to do?
We're not their parents they don't listen to our rules, they're on our computer 24/7, downloading games and has no homework to do? How can we get their parents to pick them up? They're our relatives, so should we have any say in this?

I was born with Spina Bifida. I am 23 years old. I have had give or take like 20 surgeries and I am in a wheelchair. My request to parents is to please get your kids involved as much as possible with things that they aren't familuar with. If you are at the store and your child see's someone in a chair or something and they question it, don't answer it, please take the time to say something like "I dont know lets go say hi and see if they can answer your question" Most of us special needs kids or adults are very kind people and patient. WE are often lost so trying to help a child understand that not everything is as they seem to always appear. The more you get a child involved the more it they become familur and not afraid and when they are adults they will contiue that. It will teach your child, patience, understanding, acceptacnce and respect.

Do you think kids who don't get spanked grow up to be good or bad people?

so why do i feel so huge (13 weeks and 6 days). I step on the scale and I still weight 122. but i can no longer see my underwear when i sit down and i feel really big. almost uncomfortable sometimes. AND we had sex the other night and it was really uncomfortable!! I can't believe it. i'm only 5'3'' do you think this has anything to do with me being uncomfortable (both ways) because everything is more compact? what gives? this came out of knowhere one day i was fine the next huge and uncomfortable. I thought this wouldn't happen for at least another 2 months.

i started my period on the 2nd and it was red medium flow but had no clumps (i usually have clumps-gross sorry :( ) then on the 3rd it was fairly normal all day but at night i went to change my tampon and there was barely anything there, so i just put a pad on to sleep in, when i woke up there was nothing, and today (5th) there has been very light brown spots. my period ALWAYS lasts for 6-7 days...

could i be pregnant? we have been trying for a while. :) please tell me what you think, and i apologize for being so graphic!

btw i just checked again, one single spot of brownish pink...? thats all there has been all day.

I took a hpt in April after having an abnormally light period. It came up faint +. Six weeks later I thought I had a miscarriage. I didn't bleed a lot except in the beginning and passed a long lumpy clot. Two weeks later another pregnancy test, another faint +. Now it doesn't look like I will get my period and my stomach is a bit bigger and rounder and the veins in my chest are more noticable. I got let go from my job and can't afford a doctor. I need to see one, but what could he do for me?

l'm going to be a first time (foster) parent in about 6 weeks, and l really want to be careful of their diet. l know some treats are fine for kids, and l'll probably make a lot of my own foods like biscuits or cupcakes. But how often is it ok for kids to eat McDonalds or Burger King? My family goes with their kids once a week as a big get together, and l want to be able to take mine as well. ls this ok?

ok i'm breastfeeding and i am starting to feel i'm living in the dark ages, Formul is much better and easier to make sure the baby is getting enough i swear that women just want to show off a t i t. i mean really, thousands and millions of babies are just fine without breastmilk, why not move ahead into the future and give your baby what's best?

I had sex a week after my period with my x-boyfriend. The next week I had sex with another dude, but i was on birth controll and took the morning after pill. I had a feeling I was pregnant before i had sex with the second guy, but didnt know for sure. Now i am pregnant. According to my period i would be very much so pregnant by the first guy, according to my blood test i would be pregnant closer to the second guy. But the testput me at a week that i didnt have sex at all after i had sex with the second guy. This is a bad situation and im stressin myself to the extreme. Besides a paternity test, what can i do?
