I was just wondering if it is normal not to have any breast leakage at all at 30 weeks pregnant? I have no signs or indications that they are about to start either? Is it possible that they won't leak at all? Thanks all

If I don't want the Epederal. What else can they give me to help the pain? And that has less bad symptoms?

preferably anything with 2-3 syllables since the name is so short and no middle name that rhymes with elle either...like danielle or michelle. thanks in advance!

What do u guys think of a girl that gives up sex so easy like on the first date or so. And ladys how do we talk about those girls that do this. This is just to make a point to these young foolish preteen and teen girls that should be holding off till they are older. Please dont answer smart or crazy make a point to these girls.

She will be born October 19th.
This is a bit confusing, see I have known this woman since middle school and she is also 7 months pregnant, well she had asked me to adopt her baby and well my husband and I are very interested. So instead of going through a hard adoption process he will be signing the birth certificate as her biological father so she will also have our last name. The mother is willing to sign over her rights so i would like to know how i go about adopting or becoming the mother to this baby since my husband will already be the father?
Are we able to put my name on the birth certificate instead of the biological mothers?
What about if we were to say she was our surrogate mother?
Also how can i quickly be put as the babies legal guardian until i can fully make her mine?
Please any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm actually quite worried about her. The thing is her mom and grand mother are the same way. She told me a couple of weeks ago that she "hopes she gets hurt so [she] will have to go to the hospital and get some attention." So what do I do. Her dad is the not caring type and her mom is one too. I really think she needs some therapy but I'm worried that if I tell her mom what she said her mom will just brush it off or be proud that she is like that. I know the MINUTE she or one of the other kids gets sick their mom is on the phone calling everyone to tell them all about it. It's kinda like she has that munchausin by proxy. It's pretty bad cause her mom will take her to multipul dr.s so she can get the meds she wants and dose the same with herself and my mother in law does the same they have 3 different dr.s they go to and multipule phams. too. I just don't know what to do. I'm worried, and I want her to get better before it causes a serious problem when she's an adult.

I think I ov AROUND AUGUST 2 had up. sex on that day!!! my period is a 33 day cycle for the month of July i started on the 14th and lasted about a week (5-6days)....heavy flow!!! well so i was expecting to start my period on the 16th of this month. i'm never early and i'm always a day or two later than the previous month! i started bleeding really light blood( light pink) on sunday the 12th(4 days b4 AF) then as the night went on the flow got a little bit more red like bright red but still different from AF like there was a lot of Cm with the blood which gave it a clearish red color! on day two the flow got heavier almost like a AF but not as heavy and not as much blood still bright red....with clots in it. enough for a liner not that much blood for a pad. even tried a tampon but not evnough blood was uncomfortable. today(day 3) there is no more flow , ust when i wipe it is the pink color again! my period is usually heavy and lasts almost aweek! could this be implatation bleeding

Okay...so I was babysitting this little girl of three years old, she turned out to be REALLY smart, and in reality she looks five.
But sometimes, she cries for stupid reasons, like one time, she wanted juice in her bottle, but I couldn't find it, so I told her she had to drink it in a cup. She absolutely refused this, and she started crying.

So...this is what I do when she cries. With a good voice, I tell her not to cry, and I ask her why she cries. When she explains the reason, I tell her nicely and detailed as I can, why she shouldn't cry. If she keeps crying, I turn my voice a bit more stern, and I tell her not to cry or I'm giving her a time out. I tried all the tactics except bribing, as you know it can spoil her...so I just left her crying until she got over it. I guess it kind of worked; she stopped crying and everything was well. Is this the right thing to do, or is the only way to stop her crying is to bribe her with candy or something she likes?

This is my 3rd baby and can't believe I'm asking this. Today I'm 37wks and during my vaginal exam my MW said that my cervix is anterior and soft. Is this a good indication my body is getting ready for labor...?

Okay here is the situation, I just started having morning sickness type symptoms about a week ago (am 8 weeks 2 days). Anyway Saturday and today were really bad. Today I am having trouble holding anything down, even water, even air. Is there something I can take or should I go to the hospital so that I don't get dehydrated?? This is my first pregnancy so I'm not sure if I am over reacting, I just don't want to get dehydrated and wind up with problems later in my pregnancy. Any help or advise??

I know people have different opinions when it comes to a baby sleeping. but i am a nanny and i have an issue. i had the baby on a sleep schedule. sometimes i would put the baby down for a nap and he will fuss then fall asleep a minute later. the mother walks the baby to sleep on the weekends and tells me that babies crying themselves to sleep will mess up their personality in the long run. I do not believe in letting a baby cry for too long but if you ask me, it is important for a baby to learn to sooth themselve to sleep. i have tried to walk him to sleep and it just doesn't work. he thinks it's play time:-) someone let me know what you think please
