Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 August 2007

I'm a little over 10 weeks pregnant. I sleep on the couch. The only reason is that I find it more comfortable than a bed (my father is the same way). I sleep fine on the couch.

Now that I'm pregnant, is it bad to sleep on the couch? I find it so easy to sleep on my left side on the couch & its comfortable.

Im a female and was always bought up that men should never hit a women, and a women should never hit a man. I dont think I ever would unless it was a life or death situation for me or my family. My husband and I have the same disagreement all the time, his mother chooses to stay in a physicly abbusive relationship, she has admitted to me that she usually starts the fight and throws the first punch. My husband then gets angry at her partner for putting his hands on her, I know a man could floor me easily, that is why I know i would never pravoke a man, by throwing punches and I would expect that if ive hit him, his gonna do the same back. I know women being hit by a man is frowned apon, but if my mother in law is choosing this life style, am I wrong for not feeling the slightest bit of sympathy for her or her situation. It just seems to me that people think its ok for a women to hit a man but its not ok for a man to hit a women. Please share youre thoughts with me on this matter

i have 4 days till my due date and i'm really anxious about how it feels like and how it starts. does it just all of a sudden starts hurting? This is my first pregnancy so i don't know how it's like. lately i've been getting lots of painless contractions. and this morning i had contractions with cramps. but i went back to sleep and when i got up, it went away. the whole day today, my inner thighs been aching.. any chance that labor's coming?.. soon...

many people ask me if i'm scared, but i always answer no because i've never experienced it and don't know how it's like. they tell me that its the worse pain i will ever feel but will soon forget about it.. some tell me that it feels like menstrual cramps x 100.. some say it's like getting your apendix taken out.. and some dont know how to explain it.. so.. from experiences.. how does it start and for you... how did your contractions feel like?

ADD my A@#!
If more kids got an old fashoned a#$ beating the world would be a better place instaed of putting a label on everything and giving kids an excuse to act like an a#$.

Now I'm no saying abuse is okay.

But I remember when a kid got in trouble in school a parent asked the kid what did you do. Now it's the teacher's fault or "oaww my kid has add it's not little johnny's fault.

People need to beat some sense into kids these days.

What are your opinions I want feedback.....

OK so my girlfriend and I had sex for the first time. We were both virgins, and it was two days before her period. We used a condom. So she is now 3 days late on her period, and we are both worried. We got a home pregnancy test and it was negative but it was only 4 days after sex. And feedback is greatly appreciated .

basically..2day & tomorrow are my most fertile days of the month, my boyfriend & i had sex today and yesterday (we are prepared for a baby if that were to happen we just want to wait a couple months cuz we are gettin married in 3 weeks), today he said he would pull out, well he did, but then he was like i'm going back in (he hadn't *** yet)..well this happened like 5 times. but everytime the tip of his penis was really wet when he went back inside of me. how effective is the pull out method really? i know we didn't do it right lol..we want a baby soon anyways but i was just wonderin? i went on this site online where you enter info & it said that a single act of unprotected sex on the day we did it was a 26% chance of pregnancy, but we pulled out..so i wasn't sure.

My 9 week old cries whenever I put him down. Even when daddy is home from work and holding him he cries and cries and then finally settles down, but then may scream again. He is fed and changed. I breastfeed and it seems that that is the only thing to immediately calm him down is to put him on a boob. Baby cries when I am in the shower (I shower at night), he will eventuall tire.
I play with him during the day and he smiles but if I leave him to long (<10 minutes) by himself he fusses and cries.
I am at my wits end. I may be returing to work soon and leave him with family, I also want Daddy to enjoy the baby, without too much trouble. Baby is calm now daddy is rocking him, but

Why does is cry to the point of mad panic when he is fed changed and burped?

He will nurse, drift to sleep then if daddy is here I will pass him off, then shortly he will cry and then scream. Only a boobie or persistence rocking him will calm him down. Why?

Why are you NOT suposed to use your hand when you spank your child? I must say I don't spank very often, but when I do I can't think of anything better and more apropriot to use than my hand. Why use things like paddles, brushed and belts: I want to TEACH my daughter, not BEAT her!

What do you think of the name Aidan for a boy?
I have seen it spelled "AidEn", with the "E"

My husband's neices' name is Nadia, so if you turn it around you get Aidan.

What do you think about it with the "A" instead of the "E"?

I had a miscarriage on 06/25/07, I just found out I am pregnant again and it's only been 5 weeks since my miscarriage, I have still not had a period, how can I determine how many weeks I am? Ultrasound did not show anything yet. Has this happened to anyone and they had normal pregnancies?
