Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 July 2007

I had my son in January 2007. His father denies that he is his. Therefore he is not on the birth certificate and is not paying child support. I'm soon to move out of texas and I will also be getting married. My fiance wants to adopt my son soon after. We are afraid that my son's father will find out and then sue for a paternity test and then try to take my baby. I spoke with him yesterday and asked him since he doesnt believe that the baby is his and he has nothing to do with him would he sign over his rights. He agreed but now I need to get all the paper work....where do i get this paper work with out involving court systems??

Im due to have my 3rd child in 6 weeks time. I saw my midwife a couple of days ago and she has estimated that he is going to around 8lb's when born, my biggest yet. My babies seem to get bigger, my 1st was 7lb 6oz and my 2nd was 7lb 11oz. My family members are saying that an 8lb baby is really big, is it? and what do you think the labour will be like?

I will be going to Houston in late August (which is about a 2 hour drive from where I live) for management training which will last 2 weeks. I will be right around 33 weeks pregnant and want to know is it a good idea to be by myself for 2 whole weeks especially when my due date is coming up? I am going to ask my ob about it next Wed. but what would you do? I hate to seem so picky about it to my employer but my baby's health is the most important thing to me.

Okay, so I've noticed an abundance of teens who want to get pregnant. I think it's very important that we try to let today's youth know why they should just be young and enjoy it. Please share your experiences so maybe we can help adjust their thoughts into living life and making good choices for themselves
My mom was 16 when she had me (my dad was 19) they got pregnant when she was 15 and then got married. She had my sister at 17 and my brother at 19. My mom had to go to a secondary school to graduate, and my dad had to join the Navy to pay for us. We always got just what we needed growing up. We had food, cheap clothes, and government housing over our heads. My mom couldn't go to college like she wanted to until I was 9 years old and old enough to help watch my brother and sister. We lived like that until I left, and my sister left and finally my brother. Now that there are no kids in the house, my parents can finally do what they want to...at 39 and 42. What a life, huh

my husband made an inappropriate comment about my ob today after the appointment (he came with me). he mentioned how small she was in stature then said "good thing i'm married, or i'd break her in half from the inside out"....
i'm pretty friggin upset. he says he was just joking, but now i either don't want him to come to any more appointments & feel weird about things; i'm considering switching to a new OB (since switching husbands is a bit too complicated).

would you get a new OB if you were me?
(i was already considering maybe going to a birthing center anyhow)

I've been having back aches, stomach aches, sore breasts, i've gained a pound since saturday, something like morning sickness, only no puking, mood swings, food cravings, and things taste different...
Is it too early for food cravings and difference in tastes? cause if i am pregnant, i'm no more then a month and a half along and no less then 2 weeks.
I had something like a period not too long ago, and i suspect it was spotting..
I also smell different down there and there is like..thick whitish-clear discharge..
Is it possible that im pregnant...and if so, is it too early for a test??

..Thank you all for your answers..they are GREATLY appriciated.

Nothing major or painful, just something I noticed. Has anyone else had these? Do you know what they are from?

OK. I know I have to wean my babies off formula. They are now taking a formula bottle every 3 hours. So, do I just put milk in a sippy cup and give it to them every 3 hours or what? They already drink water out of sippy cups through out the day, but I am a little confused about how they will just stop drinking so much formula. Will there be screaming? Obviously I replace it with more food and milk, right. Can someone please give me a play by play of how this will go? Thanks.

I try to move my son to a toddler bed but he just gets up and walks away. The side of his crib comes off to become a toddler bed. I take it off, put him in it, read his story, say night night and walk away. Then he just gets up and comes out. I take him back in and do the same thing 9 or 10 times, then I put the side back on his crib and he goes right to sleep. Will this eventually work or am I going about it the wrong way?

They're small little bruises, and I'm assuming they've come from falling outside (or inside as we have hardwood throughout) or from playing rough with her 4-year-old sister, as they have a tendency to do.

Do you think people will recognize that they're from the trials of childhood or do you think assume she's abused?
