HI! As a formerly sexually abused child, I try to protect children. My brother and sister had children very young, and although they don't regret it, they wish they waited till they will older. This 14 yr old girl confided in me, and told me she had sex, I, as a 28 year old female, was concerned and told her mom, a friend of mine, that I was concerned for her and didn't want her pregnant and that she was having sex. Also, this little girl, who I volunteer with, who confides in me, she has cancer now for 6 years,she is 13. She told me she did a lot of bad things, like weed, but I never told on her because I was worried how much time she had to live, since it is stage 4. However, she started doing more bad things-drinking, selling pills, taking pills and who knows what kind of pills, I was worried for her safety. So I told her mom, who approached her kindly, but her mom never said I told on her. I also call the cops if I see a parent driving drunk with a child in front seat-not protecte

anyone else get completely weirded out by the pregnancy dreams we experience?

last night my dream was that i was living in a shelter. someone told me if i slept with my pants inside out, i would become pregnant. so i did this. and boom. i was pregnant.

they thought i needed training so they transformed my mom into a little baby and i had to carry her around but she could talk to people like her normal self. then they were like "you're only like 1 years old you cant talk!" and she'd be like "no! i'm 37!" and magically transform into her normal self again. but then i would touch her and she'd be a baby again.

i have never had such interesting dreams before. sometimes i'm afraid to even sleep because i wonder about them the whole next day. haha. anyone else have this weird of dreams?

My 22month old son plays around the back yard. There is a cover over the jacuzzi which is securely locked so that he cannot open it. But he likes to climb above it and run around. IT is very sturdy and will not cave into the water. In fact, I even use it as a wood working area becaus it's like a large work table.
At any rate, my wife thinks it's very dangerous to let him play on top of this pad, and I disagree. What does the YAHOO ANSWER community think?
Thanks

I was 22 then but still young at 30 now- same husband. I've been off the pill for 14 months and actively trying for 8. (We decided to wait until after I finished bachelors and master's.) Now I'm wishing I didn't. Did anyone experience anything similar? What was the outcome?

My kids are 7 and 3. One of my neighbors has a pit bull and we see her walking the dog alot. We were outside yesterday and the neighbor happen to be walking her dog. My kids asked if they could go over and pet the dog and I told them no. My neighbor said it's ok - the dog's very friendly. I told her I just wasn't comfortable with my kids around pit bulls. She seemed a little annoyed - but that was the end of it.

Was I being too overprotective? I know pit bull owners always say the dogs are so friendly. What do you think?

Hi, I failed the 1 hour test a few weeks ago because the levels were too high. So they scheduled me to do the 3 hour test, which I did this morning. I have no risk factors for diabetes. They told me that my fasting glucose was 85, but didn't tell me the other readings. My doctor called earlier to say that while the readings were high, they were still too low to be considered diabetes, so she want's me to do the test again in a month. She said she was concerened about the last reading though, 3 hours after drinking the sugar stuff, was 45, which is low. It should have been between 70-100. I'm just scared and confused, and don't really understand what this means. After I got home I was all shaky and sweaty and weak until I ate, then I felt better. Diabetes is when your levels are high, right? That's why I failed the first time. But this time, they were in the range of normal, until the last reading, when the levels were much lower than normal. What do I have? Thank You for the help :)

my 6-yrear-old cousin is having an operation that requires a general anesthesia. The thing is that he has angel's man syndrom. He's 6 and he cannot talk .And he has no teeth.He lost his baby teeth due to the meds. So he is not eating and he is so thin and small for his age.His doctor suggested that he implants teeth. Not all teeth at least molars to help him eat and grow. Well he's not gonna have teeth like normal kids do. This is so sad I saw him eat once and he broke my heart.He has to suck what ever he's eating untill it's soft .My aunt is scared from the general anesthersia , I just wanna help her and be there for her.

Basically, we have been trying for a year and a half and I feel like I am at a breaking point. I just found out that yet another friend is pregnant. I feel like I can't take the heartache anymore. Does anyone have any helpful advice or any positive stories about getting through infertility?
I really appreciate your time. Thanks :)

Baby born end of September.
Depo shot received from November to March
Mirena IUD in place from March-2 weeks ago in July.
No real period on either of the above, but had one the day after the IUD came out, for the length that I had them before having my daughter.
How many periods do I need to have before I can start charting again? Ive always been very regular, but wondering if it changed.

Has anyone in the east coast area had this done? I live in the Baltimore/Washington Metro area and I think this is the best option for my husband and I. I have older three children, but after my third I had a tubal ligation. At that point I was not interested in having any more children because I was young. Things have changed in my life and I would love to have two more. My husband doesn't have any children. I do not want to get a tubal reversal, because of the pain and I want the security of not having a "surprise" pregnancy.

I think gender selection is a great option because of a number of reasons. We want twins, a boy and a girl. Has anyone had this procedure done? I know it is expensive, and we are prepared for that.

I have done a lot of research online on this but I want to hear from people who have had personal experience with a great clinic. I am not interested in people who just want to give their option on the moral aspect of this procedure.

Thanks!!

Alright, my period is 12 days late. But when I was supposed t have my period I had a watery substance with alittle blood. the second and third day I had brown substance almost like edometriosys (don't know how to spell that) and then nothing. about a week ago I was really nauseus and pee'd every like 45 min. and now there is nothing. So at first I thought i was pregnant and took a preg test when i 5 days late and it came back neg. and Now 12 days late I don't feel pregnant and my stomach isn't hard like people say it should be. I am out of town for 6 weeks and don't know if I should just wait until my next missed period. Or if this is just fluke even though I haven't ever missed a period
