i think if you were to have them watch discovery channel, or even cartoons, they need to write down what they learned from it as well. im not saying they should write a 10 page report but enough to tell me what they gained from it. just because they are having fun, doesn't mean they shouldnt be learning as well dont you think?

I missarried my first baby two days ago (on 4th of July) I was only 4 weeks pregnant. My husband took it really hard, and although I am disspointed and sad I would like to start trying again asap!! My husband is still very devistated! This morning he was sitting on the couch quietly crying and I felt heartbroken!!
I feel like it is all my fault!
and I want to try again! this time I will eat everything I am supposed to and make sure I walk slower and take more care of the situation!!

Am I wrong for wanting to start again so soon!!
He wants to wait a few months, but I dont!!

What shower gift do you find the most useful? Your favorite? Not necessarily the prettiest, but the one you are really glad you received. I'm going to a shower for a very special person. I want to spend about $30. Any suggestions? Thank you.

my son just turned 2 and he says a few words, like ball, bike, more, mowing, no, yes, shoes, and a couple of others, but mostly when he is talking he is just using gibberish. my doctor says that even strangers should understand 50% of what he says, but even I dont understand what he is telling me sometimes when he talks. the doctor wants to check his hearing and send him to speech therapy, but i know he can hear and i wonder if he really needs this. is he really behind????

Starting yesterday, i've been extremely fatigued and last night all the way thru today i've been so nauseous. Like to the point where i'm about to puke. I haven't eaten a thing all day and usually I'm eating alot by now. I've been reading stories on the internest of women who have had sex on the last day of their period and have had preg symptoms 2 days afterwards and later on found out that their pregnant!!! Could this be me? I went out today to this restaurant and i had to walk out cuz the smell was making me sick, i've jus been having all these weird symptoms for the past couple of days and would like to know wut u experienced women have to say. thanx

we had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago, but i never came anywhere near to orgasm. in other words i did not ejaculate because we ended quickly. She has no cramping, and no bloating. she usually has those symptoms during normal periods and her blood flow is usually heavy. she told me this is the second time in her lifetime that she has had a light period like this, but this one was shorter (lasted about 3 days, today was the last day she thinks) she has no morning sickness or urge to go urinate and/or other typical pregnancy symptoms. yesterday we had protected sex during her period, which is why i think it might have ended earlier, but i have read a rumor on the internet that intercourse during your period can relieve you of your symptoms. is there a possibility that she is pregnant, or am I just really paranoid. She says that I am too paranoid, but I am just concerned because i cannot afford a child right now. if possible, is there anyway that I can get this off my mind??

Have any of you experienced changes in your menstrual cycle after having a baby and getting your cycle back? I used to be every 31-34 days, and now 2 years after having my daughter my cycles are every 26-28 days. I was wondering if having a baby can change this, or if it's just changing as I get a little older (I'm 28). Thank you.

yesterday when I went for a checkup. I was about 12 weeks yesterday and when the doctor gave me a vaginal ultrasound she told me there was no heartbeat and that I had a miscarriage. This was my first pregnancy and I wasn't expecting to hear such bad news. The doctor mentioned that things like this happen and that I would have to get a procedure known as D&C. I have done my research about this procedure but I just want to know how( as a woman) can I ever recover emotionally? I have almost passed my probation at work so would it be possible to recover during the weekend( I don't work Sat or Sun) It hurts, I wanted to be a good mother so bad and now that this has happen I feel so lost and hopeless. Has any woman ever felt like they never wanted to try to have a child again because of the emotional pain?

I feel so sorry for this girl who lives next door to me. She is 16 and has learning disabilities which is only noticeable when you talk to her. She has been living there a coulpe of years and I hate the way they treat her. With her foster parents being very old she is forced to do ALL the house work which I notice every day when I'm in the back garden and they always sream at her if she has not done everything or has not done them quick. She dose everthing even picking up the dog poo. She also wears all her foster mothers hand me downs cloths form the 50s like very long grey dresses and grey tops. She looks stupid and embarresd. What should I do. She always looks down in the dumps. my mum and she thinks the same and says the foster perents have treated all the foster children like this for years. But every time they are reported they are always smile when ever anybody calls around. Am I being to nosy.

My daughter came home from school today saying that she knew who she was going to marry. Obviously, this is quite normal and part of growing up and we often have different "boyfriends". However, when we were in the car she said that she had a written a letter to her botfriend that said "I love you and I am going to have sex with you". She has no idea what this means and I told her that it is not the sort of thing that little girls should say. She then said that someone else wrote it and she just read it. She got quite upset and could obviously see that I was shocked. I didn't go into too much detail with her as she changed the subject but I am now worried that maybe I should have said more. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to handle it without going into all the detail-I don't think she is old enough to know the full gory bits yet. Thanks.

Ok here goes...My last period was on June 8th-12th. Every night from the 12th to the 18th my boyfriend and I had sex (unprotected). He never came inside me, but he does have a lot of preejaculate fluid. Around the 22nd, I started cramping, like menstrual cramps, but extremely light, and then a few days after that I started getting sharp shooting pains in my breasts every now and then. My acne has gotten really bad, and I've lost my appetite, and every time I do eat, I don't need to vomit, but use the restroom. I was due for my period July 6th, but on the night of the 4th I had some really light bright red bleeding, and I haven't had any since then. My light cramping and sharp breast pains have continued. I went to the doctor yesterday and had a pelvic and breast exam, everything was fine. I guess I should also mention that 2 weeks ago, a doctor told me I was depressed. Every HPT I take says negative. So could this all be from stress and just in my head, or could I really be pregnant?

I'm 25 weeks pregnant, I decided I cannot keep this baby. I have no money, I'm still in high school, I'm way too young, and i just don't know anything about babies I'm just not ready for one. I didn't realize this in the beginning but now I do. I already applied for WIC, Medicade for the child, and Healthy Start. Is it too late since I did all of this?

I am 18 weeks pregnant, teaching summer camp, and interviewing for new elementary teaching positions. How do I keep this up without getting fired from my current job. I was told today that "I am pushing it" I havn't even told them about my interviews on Wednesday yet.

Wednesday July 11 - 2 interviews one at 11AM and one at 3PM
Monday July 16 - Dr. appt to find out sex of baby
Monday July 23 -regular check up at Dr's

What do I do? Should I quit my current job and take a midnight position where I have off during the day to go to interviews and doctor appointments and risk getting fired from where I am? I also cannot stand my current job.

my wife and I are expecting our first child. we bonded with another couple who is also expecting and they introduced us to this lady whom they have reached out to. trouble is, she has been displaying very distubring traits. she says she is very angry with people, that she wants to kill herself and sometimes she gets so angry she thinks she could hurt someone. she just confided in my wife that she killed her pets ( ducks, etc.) with a crowbar when she went through an extreme depressive/angry state as a teen. this lady constantly says she is jealous that my wife and our other friend are pregnant and married. personally i think she is a walking time bomb. we always just figured her to be a bit odd and an outcast but she dropped the bomb about actually killing another living being out of anger.. on us just a couple days ago. we are nervous now because she is on the invite to our baby shower. how do we handle her without setting her off? we don't wish to have any further contact with her.
