my 17 year old bestfriend found out shes pregnant. her and her boyfriend decided that she should get an abortion. she told me if she could keep it she would. but she knows that having a baby this young could make life really hard. i know now more then ever she could really use support, but i dont know what to think or feel. i use to be pro-choice towards abortion. but knowing deep down she wants to keep the baby. well, it confuses me and is distancing me from her. i want to be there for her through all of this. but, i'm not sure what to do to put my feelings aside, because i can't sort through them.

I'm talking before internet. And computers. And iPods. And cell phones. And Gameboys. I've been swallowed by a raging sea of electronics and I want to find other ways to spend my time...

Are two weeks added into an ultrasound or is an ultrasound an exact answer of how far along you are?

For example, a long time ago I went to the doctor and I was 10 weeks 4 days pregnant... does that mean I was really 8 weeks and 4 days? and if so does that mean exactly 8 weeks and 4 days (or 10 weeks and 4 days) ago is when I concieved? Serious answers only.. im just so confused!!

I took in a cat last week. Her former owners called her Cleo, and that is what it says on her license. But I personally don't like the name. In order to compromise, I will give her a middle name and call her by it.

I want to call her Cleo Patricia because it's almost like Cleopatra, but I can't look at her and call her Patty (or Tricia, for that matter). Do you have any other ideas of nicknames for her?

May I also have some nicknames for Victoria and Regina (not Vicki, Tori, or Gina)?

First off, please be nice, im young.
i think i may be really pregnant...between 16 and 22 weeks along.
I got a super super faint positive pregnancy test like 2 weeks ago, and then 2 negatives. but i dont find hpt's very reliable so i am going to the doctor for a blood test.
I did have fluttering for like a little over a month.
And lately it has been really strong.
so i think the blood test is going to be positive.

anyways, yesterday night, i had super bad nausea (normal)
but then it turned into this awful awful pain [the worst pain i have felt in my whole life]. It hurt from my pubic bone up to my ribs and also my back. its really hard to explain. but it was the most painful thing i have ever felt.
it lasted like 5 minutes.
do you think that could be related to pregnancy?
or am i sick?

for some reason a lot of my friends (throughout my life) have asked me if i was lesbian (not that i have any problem with people who are). it's always really awkward and i say no. but how should i reply? and why does everyone always ask?
i don't really know what i am. i mean, i'm only 14, and i've gone to an all girls school so i'm always really awkward around guys and have trouble even having conversations with them. so i've never even flirted with a guy. and idk.
what do i do?

It's a problem people, parents teachers and everyone should be concerned about. With the growing population of teen-agers so is the lure to participate in fraternities or groups which is eighther good or bad influence to the teen-ager. It seems just merely companionship , partnership or whatever it mean jto the young people. They've learned to show disrespect to the elder ones and also it seems they are losing the importantce of life and how it means to be alive, also they have forgotten the sacrifices of their parents for them. There must be an effective approach to this to change their point of view and shift their attention to something more important. A 22 year kid a dancer, was just murdered and the reason behind maybe because he belonged to another group which to me is unethical . Maybe someone could share his/her opinion and what would be the best thing to do. Are their strategies that needs to be done ? By whom? The young ones are the hope of this nation . Where will they be?

My sister's middle name is Glo...

She hates it & didn't even put it on her children's birth certificates

I honestly don't think it's bad at all...its unique!

Opinions?

Me and my husband already have two kids but we decided to take a break from having kids for about a year or two. (the little ones were back to back by the way) So i started taking tricyclen-lo and i've been on it for about 5 months. I really messed up my pills bad and continued having unprotected sex without him pulling out (have to say we've never done that), and now i am experiencing pregnancy symptoms but at the same time i got some spotting. I have read on the internet and mommy websites that when you are on the pill and even if you get pregnant it is normal for you to still have some bleeding. Am I possibly pregnant and just bleeding??? or what?! I'm tired, moody, and morning sickness is AWFUL right now. All the usual symptoms.

My baby is now 3 weeks old and my mum is staying with me to help take care of him. She wants to do everything herself, bathing, feeding and changing diapers. She even insists on sleeping with the baby at night. Its my first child and I know she is just being helpful, but I hardly have any chance to bond with my baby and this makes me feel miserable. She makes me feel that I am a useless mother especially when she says things like, "You have no idea how to do this, let me take over." And she will just take the baby away from me without giving me a chance to try. I am going back to school in Oct and I really wish to spend as much time as possible with my baby now.

my baby is 4 1/2 months old, and our dr says we should start the "gerber cry it out method"

right now she wont sleep in the crib only the car seat, and only when we rock her to sleep.

the dr says it's important that she sleeps in the crib and puts her self to sleep.

can anyone talk about their experience with it.
provide tips, guidance, suggestions, etc.

IMPORTANT: we have decided with our dr to try this method, so please no lectures, on how this is bad for the baby. im not here for that, im here for feedback from people who have tried this

thanks!

Well, I had tripets (two boys and one girl) three weeks ago and right now they are all in one room. In a few weeks we're going to move our girl (Tallon) into her own room and let the boy's (Merrick and Chandler) share.
I thought it would be really cool to do a really "girly" theme. So my mom made a purple "comforter" (I can't remember what it's called....I'm a little brain dead :) thing for her crib and we have pink sheets but I wanted to paint the walls light pink with clouds and little jets going in between clocks (real clocks) with the times (the actual times) from some of the major fashion capitols of the world with the city's name by them. And for pictures, I have some swatches and patterns and other sewing things framed.
The boy's room is panted like under-water themed....the walls are blue and then there's sand colored with seaweed and shells and things at the bottom and there's fish....the ceiling has like the bottom of a boat and then more blue with lighter blue to make it look like the sun is shining on it. And some of the fish and things come off the wall (they are velcrow-ed on).

So a fashion/design themed room and an under-water room? Yay or neigh?
