Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 August 2007

I hear many differing opinions regarding the trend of young girls wearing shorts with writing across the @ss--writing like "obey," "flirt," "follow," "sexy," etc.--some also have the names of schools and organizations. Obviously, having writing anywhere on your clothes brings attention. Is this a harmless fashion statement, or is there more to it? What do you think clothing manufacturers were thinking when they decided to make the clothing?

i am 35 weeks pregnant with my first. i have gained the standard 21 lbs. and am feeling pretty Ok considering. however, i have been battling the slings and arrows pregnant women often endure from friends, family and strangers for weeks, even months. "are you sure it isn't twins?" "there has to be one hiding behind the other, doctors aren't always right- you'll see when they pull out that second baby!", "your'e HUGE!" and my favorite is when a MAN, who will never know the difficulty of bringing life into the world- who has 4 children...telling me how hard it will be to lose "all the weight!" i am perfectly normal, content with my weight gain, my pregnancy and my life. why do people assume it's OK to insult us this way? i feel like if they think they can insult me, i have the right to retaliate and throw a punch. but then i would be wrong, huh??? what should i do???!!!!!

What exactly are the effects of having sex before the 6 weeks is up? Everyone says you cant do it but, what harm can it cause? Is it supposed to hurt the first time you have sex?

I am going to the doctor in 20 mintues to find out how many I am having and what I can do. If I have twins I think I could handel it, but if I have triplets I don't know what I would do. I am only 15 so I never really planned to become pregnant, but since I did I have to choose. Which should I do treminate these children, raise them myself with my ex boyfriend, or put them up for adoption? My only question if I have more then one, would it be possiable to have all of them go to one family? I am just lost right now, what should I do?

my appetite dropped a lot. Is this normal? At week 11 I had gained 2.5 pounds and I probably gained another 2.5 pounds up to now. (I don't have a scale at home so I don't know for sure) I know that weight gain is about normal from what my doctor said but now I am not eating as much. Did anyone else go through this. I don't have the typical morning sickness, it is more just utter exhaustion so I was eating normal.

My concern is how is an 8 yr old capable of coming up with something like this. What action do you think I should take. I don't want my daughter to live in fear of her, besides they catch the same school bus and go the same school.

These are the names that we have come up with to name our children. These are our favourite names. I would like to put the names out there to public opinion. If you can just reply with one boy's name and one girls name, that would be awesome. I have a online poll that I will add the results to to help give us a clear and definite 'winner'.

(We have picked out middle names for all the boys, but we haven't come up with middle names for all the girls. If you could just submit one name in it's entirety, that would be good. eg. Elijah, or Luke will not be counted as a vote). Thanks!!

Boy's Names

1. David Nathaniel
2. Oliver Ray
3. John Luke
4. Maddox Ellis
5. Solomon Elijah
6. Malachi Joshua
7. Wolfgang Othniel
8. Christian Alexander

Girl's Names

1. Abigail
2. Trinity
3. Jessica
4. Esmerelda Rosina
5. Madeline
6. Jasmine
7. Angelica
8. Emily Rose

Here the deal..My sister is 40 and Bi-polar she is getting out of prison this week (for meth related) My mother keeps suggesting that my sister could help me out by watching my 18month old girl. I am definatly not comfortable with this. I dont mind if she comes over and helps while I take a shower or mow my yard those kind of things. My husband can not stand my sister and dosent even want her in our home...My mother insists she has changed. I'm stuck in the middle and can see both points of veiws. In the past whenever she stops taking her meds. she seems to turn to drugs. She is really good with children and they adore her. What would you do if you were in my shoes?? I want to keep the peace with all involved and that never seems to happen.
