i am 8 months pregnant with my first child i do not have stretch marks on my stomach and i am hoping i will not get them on my stomach i am wondering, if i have not gotten stretch marks by now do i still have a chance of getting them or do most women get them earlier in their pregnancies if they are going to get them?

I want to make my own baby food, but I also like the convenience of the very tiny baby food jars you can get in the stores. A obvious choice would be to buy some of those, feed them, and then just rinse and reuse, which I will do if I can't find another option. I just figured it would be cheaper if I could find somewhere that sells tiny glass jars like that. Anyone know of a place?

Thanks!

Have you had children instead of adopting? Why is it okay to have one child when there are so many needing homes, or two or three or six?

Why is THIS family discriminated against just because they have chosen a large family? If you are so sensitive about the needs of children waiting to adopt, why not step up and do something about it rather than criticize someone else for not doing so?

I am VERY pro adoption-in fact, we will be adopting one or two children ourselves in the near future (I am currently pregnant with our third child, and we are not opposed to having more biological children either, BTW). But whether to give birth or adopt is a personal choice that each family needs to make for themselves-and NONE of us have a right to judge their decision, whatever that may be.

So...I am just wondering why YOUR circumstances are acceptable, but you think they (the Duggar family) are wrong? Quit criticing others for not doing so, and adopt yourself!

I wanted to know how other people here handle gift giving situations in their families. I know of some people who give gifts to all of the siblings when it is the birthday for one of them or any other celebration; confirmation, award ceremony what have you.

Why do people feel they have to give gifts to all of the children when the celebration is for one of them? How do you feel about this? What do you do with your family about gift-giving?

Is this a great way to ruin the planet? At "90,000 diapers," this family has made its own land-fill. Selfish?

Im TTC and my next period due is day after tomorrow. I took preg tests (dollar tree and EPT) last 4 days and they all are BFN. I BD on the correct days.
Could I still be preg with the HSG levels low? I heard that it doubles every other day. SO, could it possibly be lower than 25 Mu that it is not detected as yet? Please let me know those who have been in similar situations

During the day its about 74-76 degrees F and at night around 70-73. Is that good or bad? I have heard a rule that if your baby always feels a little warmer than you, is that true also? My baby is 5 months old.

I have a 13 year old girl. She is a person that my wife and I marvel at most of the time. She is smart and studies hard. She is good to her sister, willingly babysitting when asked. She has a big heart and is willing to help people. We go to church and she volunteers and plays volleyball. Here comes the problem....She is VERY pretty and mature (looking) for 13. Like most teenagers, she is interested in sex and curious about alcohol. We have caught her having sex and know she has been dipping into our liquor cabinet (marked bottles). Her mother and I are at our wits end and don't know what else to do. We have caught her having sex before and thought that we had said and done the right things to get her to think about the consequences of her actions, but we have caught her again. The alcohol is a new development.

Any advise for a father that doesn't need to pull his own hair out. Mother nature is taking care of that naturally.

Thanks

I caught my niece Ally who just turned 17 yrs old 2 months ago with an ovulation test kit and pre-nal vitamins?Her parents are divorced and have been for about a year now but still fighting over money,and her dad wants a paternity tests done due to her moms affair.Her moms in U.K right now with a new bf who got her a job in London for the next 6 months so i have been watching her while my parents look after her younger brothers.When i spoke to her about what i found she told me that she wanted a baby to love and care for.She explained that she's almost a mature adult and can easily take care of a baby.She thinks that there are tons of single moms who make it work/ finishing school, who get good jobs,dress nicley,and still get to have lives ie. party ect.She is basing this off of me and 3 of my friends who are single moms but she is overlooking the fact that we were all 20 yrs old or over when we became parents.I have no clue how to handle this i am only 29 but cant seem to relate?

started her period a day later as usual with no changes to her normal flow. And if she was pregnant, would she already show signs less than two weeks later? Me and my friend were debating this and I'm on the side that she couldn't be pregnant and less than 2 weeks is WAY too early to have morning sickness or what not unless it's a "phantom pregnancy". :D

My boyfriend freaks out when our 2 year old son dresses in girls clothes and puts on makeup with his sisters. He gets angry and wants to punish him. He says that he will grow to be a fag and allowing him to freely play this way only teaches him to be feminine. I disagree and feel that many young children do this and it shouldn't be an issue.
It breaks my heart that my boyfriend would think this way. What would someone who has experience in early childhood development say to this?

The heat is making me very tired, irritable, and did I say tired? I know I've got several more weeks, and I want the baby to be healthy, but I think I'm getting tired of being pregnant. I want to hold my baby now. The 1st two trimesters were really easy, but the 3rd one is more uncomfy and such. Does anyone ever feel guilty for complaining? This is a true miracle and something I've prayed for for a long long time. But I feel like a bloated elephant and it's hard to carry around all this extra weight. There is so much to do yet I can't get enough energy to do anything. Ugh.

I am having twin girls and like the names jocelina (jo-cell-ee-nah) and Avabella (ah-vah-bell-ah). My mother came from italy and my father is from spain so i wanted the names to kind of sound like like they had the italian/spanish background. I also need middle names but i want them to be american names because i was born in the US and so was the father. so please tell me what you think and give suggestions! thanks
