Under what circumstances could I get a 2nd baby shower.. And could I throw my own. B/c my first one my MONSTER in law threw it and that's okay for the fact there was drunks.. And my daughters birthday that I was in charge of and fixed things how I wanted I left for a minute to get the cake and she showed up while I wasn't there and rearranged everything I just set up. I don't like that b*tch, So yea can I have a 2nd babyshower and can MY MOM throw it?

His mother believes baby showers is a girl thing, shouldn't be co-ed, and shouldn't be thrown more than once for one baby. My fiance trusts his mothers knowledge so sides with her and claims its their tradition. I on the other had am different. I want a co-ed so my guy family and friends, brothers can be involved regardless of sex. I consider my pregnancy a celebration not a tradition. So, I want it one way and she sounds upset making it difficult for me and him to see eye to eye. We got into a huge fight yesterday and he also wants to not be involved anymore since his mom feels he shouldn't.

Will the fertility doctor prescribe me Clomid or some other fertility drug without seeing my husband first (I have PCOS)? He's a little nervous and does not want to go to the doctor if he doesn't have to, but he will if it comes down to it.

Personally, I'd like him to go, but I just thought I'd ask.

Hello! I am 8 weeks pregnant and we have had a kitten for about four months. I've never had a cat before in my life so I know I am not immune to Toxoplasmosis. Anyway, my husband has been changing the kitty litter and we don't let the cat outside, so he hasn't ate a bird or mouse or anything. I just have read that there are really any symptoms for the disease and wanted you guys all just to reassure me that everything will be fine. ;o) Thanks!

my mother in law said she thought it would be better to allow the child to make such a decision on their own. i had my ears pierced when i was an infant & think it is ok to do it @ 4mos of age. i feel differently about boys though.

I'm looking for a baby shower game that would result in a gift being opened every now and then throughout the shower. I have in my head the idea of maybe, every time someone says "baby", Mom opens a gift. (But then what would stop people from just saying "baby" a bunch of times so she opens them all at once?) Does anyone have any good ideas on how we could work that?

My niece wants a myspace account. She'll be twelve in october. I think it's okay, but her parents think she could get kidnapped or something, because of the predators. Many people have their pages set to private, and it's okay. What are your opinions? :]

Ok, so my son is 10 years old. I feel he is very mature for his age, we have a very open relationship, and being a teen mother myself, I am really worried about him being educated in this department. We had the talk a couple months ago....we talked about it ALL. STD's, Love, BC, our beliefs, medical terms for all anatomy and so on. We had a great talk and he asked tons of great questions. I was really happy with that.
I told some of my co-workers about it and a lot of them act suprised to hear that I had "the talk" with him at such a young age.

I was 13 when I first had intercorse...and I had only had the little videos that you watched in school as my "sex ed". I just want him to be prepaired and be responsible. My question is when, when did you, or when do you think it is a good age to have the talk? Is 10 too early?

Hi, I was wondering if any other women have ever experienced this ???? about 7 weeks ago I started having pregnancy like symptoms and Im on Birth control and was not trying to conceive. My doctor thought I was having side effects from the pill. So told me to stop taking it, I have now been off of it for 6 1/2 weeks and my symptoms stopped when I had my last period BUT they came back as soon as it stopped. This is now happening for the second time, my symptoms stopped when I started my cycle and now that it has stopped they are back. I know its not from stopping the pill because I stopped taking it back in December due to loss of insurance and had no problems what so ever. My dilema is that I dont know what is going on w/ me I keep having pregnancy symptoms, I have been tested & it was neg. and I have also been tested for everything else and my Doctor has no idea what is wrong with me, I dont want to be pregnant but feel like I am due to these symptoms. Has anyone else experienced this

So here's the deal. I am trying to plan a baby shower for my sister who is due on the 26th of this month. I am trying to plan the baby shower for the 8th (in 2 weeks). Yes, I do know that I should have planned the baby shower for an earlier date, as this date is close to her due date. But I live a couple hours away from my sister and time and money has not allowed me to be able to get to where she lives any earlier.
Etiquette wise, I know that baby shower invites should be sent 3-4 weeks in advance, but I am going to try to pull it off in two weeks. Should I put notes in the invitations aplogizing for the shower being last minute or just send the invites and not worry about the extra notes.

Ok so Im going to be an uncle from my wife's side for the first time right now. We are all South African and we live in SA. The mother is my wife's sister and the dad is Afrikaans so decided an Afrikaans name for the baby boy. They shortened the list down to Morne(Mor-nay) Ettienne(Et-tee-enn). The last name is De Villiers.

Morne Ettienne De Villiers

So do you like the name?
And what do you think of it?
Thanks in advance to everyone who answers this question.
