Everyone I know had May babies and there are like 8 people in my family who's birthdays are in may! It makes me crazy. We are ttc, but I do not want to try if it means we might have a May baby....am I being ridiculous?

My wonderful period that always seems to show up on time every month was supose to show up today and nothing. i dont feel like my normal self though i dont feel the same as what i always do before a period. i always get headaches sore nipples lower backache. but this time i dont have hardly any of those just the lower back ache.

I have been cramping lightly off an on since wed and since i ovulated the 24th-28tj and was for sure thinking i was going to start last night and nothing. today i feel a little achy down there and thats it and very very light spotting that is a brownish discharge very light though and had a few red spots in it but only when i make it noticeable i have been more wet down there and feel queezy for about 2 days now. i dont want to waste my money right now just incase. did anyone else feel like different when they were going to start there period and it never came and you ended up being pregnant? and light cramping as well

I haven't seen any bleeding or signs of miscarriage, but I was wondering if it could have brain damage or anything. It doesn't have a brain yet though, so as long as it is alive it should be fine right?

I have a 17mth old lil' girl and she never seems to eat enough by my standards. 2 or 3 spoonfuls and she is done the rest of the time its a struggle unless she is entertained my something else (toy, big bro', tv, etc). I feed her at 8am, mid-day snack (crackers,cheese) then dinner at 3:30-4pm this is the worst, she never seems to be hungry. Milk (7 oz) at 10am, then mabybe 1:30pm, 5:30-6pm then 8:30pm before bedtime. Is this enough food? I also give her yogurt or some cereal around 8pm before bedtime.

My husband is very loving in his own way----he is not one of those sensitive feely kind of guys. We are 7 weeks pregnant. But every night, I wake up about 1am to go to the bathroom and he has his hand on my tummy. I dont even know if he is aware his does it. He gives my belly a kiss every morning and every night. It is so great to see this side of him.

Anyone else enjoy seeing this side of their husband/boyfriend?

I wanted to name the baby after the two grandmothers. So I'm using the father's mother's first name and my mom's middle name.

Patricia Suzanne?

Well I just took a pregnancy test and I got it from the dollar store. Well i know that kinda sounds cheap but I didnt want my mom to know because I am only 15. Well I took it, and there is a section for c & t, if its just in the c area then your not preg. but if its in both the c & t, then your preg. Well its in both sections but the line in the t section is not that red like the other one. Am i pregnant or not, or was this pregnancy test to cheap?

Hi!

I am doing a research paper for my college class. Im researching the benifits of Kangaroo care and the benifits of incubator care for preterm infants. Of course the negative as well. Has anyone done this with thier baby (preemie or full term baby)? What were the benefits? Was there any negative part of your experience? How is it done? Are there any precautions that have to be taken? Feel free to answer any one of my questions or add on. You do not need to answer them all. If you havent done skin-to-skin contact with your baby, but you still know about it. Feel free to also add in.

Any help is greatly appriciated!!

If you would include your name, so i could use your information or quote you in my paper that would be extremly appreciated as well!

Thanks everyone!

I'm due early September and we are having a girl. My husband and I can't agree on a name that we both really like. My list of names includes:
Kaylie
Rylie
Lydia
Eva
Natalie
Sadie

And my husband likes more traditional names, his list includes:
Amy
Sarah
Mary

Does anyone have any suggestions that could be both not overly common and not so traditional, yet encompass both?

We are going to use the family middle name Marie.
Thanks for your suggestions.

I nanny for a family with 3 children ages 4, 4, and 7. They warned me early on that the 7 year has special needs and issues. He's emotionally disturbed, violent and has the metal capabilities of a 4 year old. They get dropped off at my home around 5:30 am and stay until usually about 6 pm. Though sometimes they tell me they will be "a little late" and not pick them up until 9!!! I maybe young and without children of my own, but that doesn't mean I don't need time for my husband and personal business! They are currently paying me $1000/month Gr. Well the children are starting school in September. They will be in school from 8 until 3:30pm. I will have to feed them breakfast and get them to school. After I pick them up they would like ME to do homework with the kids. And if the 7 year old gets sent home (which inevitably he will -- we went through this with summer school) I will be the one to pick him up. Also there will be holidays, and early release days. They want me to take a paycut.

If I was going to have a kid, I'd check the list of the top baby names of the past year and NOT use them. I've noticed everyone naming their kids Grace, Lilly, etc....there is going to be classrooms full of kids with the same name..like about 5 years ago when there was 10 Hunters...or when i was kid with Jennifers...but on the other hand, there is some bizzare names people are using now.

My best friend is 5 months pregnant. She recently found out that her child has severe physical deformities and possible other complication. I dont know all of the details. I am 7 weeks pregnant and it made me think "What would I do if I found this out?". I have an uncle with Down Syndrome and while my family loves him dearly, he is ALOT of work and doesnt have much quality of life. I am not a strong advocate of abortion but I think that I will be very supportive of her in this situation. She and her husband were so excited about this pregnancy. She would not be able to stay home full-time to take care of a disabled child. Maybe it is selfish - I dont know but I think I would make the same decision. If you were in her situation, what would you do?

Please no "burn in hell" comments. This is only a question and I am asking for your opinion, not your judgement. Thanks.
