I have been seeing a man from Moscow,Russia for a year now he works in the jewlery business.He is going to be 38 yrs old never been married or had any children.He is also about 10 yrs older than me but treats me like a queen and is kind to my daughter.He says he has enjoyed his years of being a bachelor to the fullest and now looks foward to settling down and possibly having a child or two to carry on his line.I feel cherished,protected,and cared for when i am with him.I also think this may lead to marriage.
He has invited me and my daughter to stay at his family home in Russia when he leaves since he goes back and forth from the states for Christmas? My daughter is thrilled by the idea because she wants to see the russian ballet currently going through a balerina phase.But i feel hesitant what are some good questions to ask?

so i'm 24 weeks pregnant... and my husband has been (ever so slowly) cutting down on how much we have sex. we went from doing it at LEAST once a day, to (if i'm lucky) maybe once a week. well it's been almost THREE WEEKS, and last night i straight up asked him what the hell is wrong?! he admitted: it just feels weird. i feel like i'm humping Abby (what we're naming her).
shot. down. what the hell?! so what, now i have to wait until November to have sex again?! possibly December?!?!?!? UGH! has this happened to any of you ladies? what did you do? i mean, i feel insecure enough already because i've lost my 18-year-old body, and now i have a little belly... and my face looks different, and i just feel gross all the time (i used to feel really good about myself)... but now that i know he wont sleep with me, i kind of want to cry. this sucks. :(
somebody make me feel better? even my pregnant best friend (who's 28 weeks) is getting more action than me!!! :(

I am only 4 weeks along. How soon do we tell him about the baby? We have been around babies somewhat and he has never been jealous and is always really loving towards them if I am holding them but he has been the only child for this long and I want to make the transition as easy as possible for him. Any nice suggestions or tips from parents who have gone through this would be appreciated! Thanks.

My doctor says it is just a viral infection so to give her Immodium. They did some culture on her and it was normal with no bacteria. so just to give her immodium. She is miserable. She hasn't had milk in 10 days and her stool is so loose and it is full of mucus and is turning bright yellow which reminds be of bile from throwing up so much when you are sick. Can there be any other cause of this that the doctor missed that anyone has dealt with. thanks

My sister told me I'm over protective of my daughter. I don't feel I am. If I go to someone's house I like to make sure I can see her at all times. My sister said I should just let her go and play. I'm just afraid other people's houses won't be as child proof as mine (which my sisters isn't because she has open access to a set of stairs and my daughter LOVES stairs!). Do you think it's normal to want to watch her every move like that? When we're at home she runs all over the place because I know there is nothing she could break or get into. She's 15 months by the way.

I am 29 weeks pregnant with my first child and I am debating on whether to breast feed or formula feed my child. I have no desire to breast feed but everyone says it is sooo good for the baby.
Is formula just as good as breast feeding?
Please let me know your experience or opinion. Thank you.

My husband and I want to adopt, but when we researched adoption agencies, we were blown away at how expensive it is to adopt. Any advice on a practical way for normal everyday couple to adopt?

This weekend my hubby & I took our little guy swim at a local park. There was a little boy there named Hobie. I thought it was very unique & different... Kind of cute. What do you think?

Last year my cousin was killed in a car wreck. She left two little girls. Her boyfriend who is on the birth certificate as the Father was sent to prison for drugs just a few months ago. He lost all parental rights by the court. The girls were living with their grandma, my aunt. They always slept in the bed with her on morning they woke up and found her dead. (heart attack) They were then living with their aunt who was sent to prison for driving drink and killing their mother and little cousin. Needless to say these girls at the ages of 7 and 8 have lived a tough life.

They are living in a foster home which is my uncle, their great uncle. It's a good home but because of my uncles and aunt age they are not sure about adopting the girls.

My wife and I have always loved the girls. And I have been very concerned about them since their mother died. Now we are considering, if my uncle deciced not to, adopting the girls. One problem we have is we already have 4 kids of our own. continu

I stopped taking my birth contol pill so my husband and I could try to start having a family. A few days after stopping I started bleeding, but not heavy like a normal period. I have had fullness in my stomach, cramping, slight nausea, slight headaches and back pain. Could I be pregnant or are they just side effects from stopping the pill. I know it is to early to take a home pregnancy test. I guess I should wait about four weeks?

I'm 4 months pregnant and ever since I got pregnant my allergies are terrible. I always had bad allergies but this is making me go insane. All day I'm blowing my nose and sneezing and I have to keep boxes of tissues by the bed each night cause I constantly wake up with a runny nose etc. It's terrible and my doctor said that about the only thing safe for me to take is Tylenol Sinus Allergy medicene. Which worked great when I wasn't pregnant but now I can't stomach it at all. It makes me sick whether I take it with or without food or on a full stomach. HELP!!!

24 and pregnant for the 3rd time but this is the first time that I am (hopefully)able to carry to term. The first 2 times I never had any morning sickness but those ended around this time. So, since I've never really gotten this far, I don't know what to expect as far as all the stresses of morning sickness and what not. Has anyone ever been pregnant an never had morning sickness? Is this healthy or does this mean that my hormone levels aren't high enough. I've had my first OB visit and ultrasound and everything was fine but I haven't done my blood work yet.

I just wish i could make things better for her. She's 32 and I'm 39. She only got wed a few months ago. She is depressed.
