My son just turned 2 about a month ago, and I am kinda stumped on what to feed him..he stays at home with me. He usually eats hot dogs, mac and cheese, and chicken nuggets..but it seems he won't eat anything else, so I feel bad cause he eats the same things week after week. What are some ideas for lunch that aren't too expensive, I am on a tight budget. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

My husband and I have been married 3 years to the day in a few days - and I have also found out i was PG - we were not actively TTC, but also not doing anything to prevent a pregnancy.

He has two children from a previous relationship, and when we got married he said he wanted more but at the right time. We're at the right point in my opinion and honestly the risk of having a tubal pg for me is high which if this is a normal pregnancy I of course would never want to abort. I wouldn't want to abort anyway except for medical life/death reasons.

He says I have to get one. I'm very fustrated and concerned - I originally said I don't want to consider kids till about 2010 (I would be early 30s) but well we were blessed now.

He didn't say he would leave me, but then again he obviously believes in divorce as he has before so I don't want to risk losing him and my family.

Why is it a woman who already has a child gets pregnant easily than before she had one?

I have heard jokes about not letting a man breath on you after your first child because conceiving after the first pregnancy is a breeze!! (Which was true in my case)

Wonder if there is a scientific reason behind it?!?!

These kids in my neighborhood just moved in. They are ages 4 and 5. Yesterday they came over to play but only played with my childrens toys not with my child. They also ended up throwing mud at my son while my son ran around the yard. Today the kids came back over and as soon as my son went out to play the girl, 5, started telling me some interesting things. She said her mom died and she didnt know what happened to her. She then said, quote" My friend Rob he was really mean he pretended to be Dino's friend and Dino believed him and Dino was brushing his teeth and Rob blew his brains out and Dino thought he was his friend; and that girl said she had to clean up brain matter of the mirror and I think that is nasty" So... I understand these kids really have it bad, because I found out their father is in jail, their mom was murdered and they dont know what happened, and apparently Dino was the mothers brother... but should I let my son play with them?

Hi all. Okay so I am about 12 weeks preg. I am only 18 and come from a very broken home. I have no family to help me, and b4 you call me a w h o r e, I was with my bf for 4 yrs and we just recently broke up bc we are both going to college. I have no way of contacting him. I finally have something good in my life by going to nyu. I actually have a future for myself and a baby would ruin everything i have worked so hard for. Adoption is not an option for me bc i would never want my child to have to go through what I went through in the diff homes I grew up in. So my options are abortion or keeping the baby. I have no idea what to do but I need to decide soon. I just want to hear what ppl think I could do. Keep in mind if i keep the baby i will have to drop out of school and that would hurt me sooo much u have no idea. so please help me!! thankyou.

We decided on a first name but don't know what to do for a middle name for our little girl. The first name is going to be Evey (not sure how we are going to spell it yet) and the last name is Nelms. I would love some suggestions for middle names and spelling for the first name. Thanks to all.

My sister found out today that she is having a baby boy. Of course, we had a girls name picked out.... It will be the first boy in our family. Since my husband and I aren't able to have children...she has asked me to name him...( I also chose my niece's name which is Alli Klaire). I am just asking for some ideas....I think Alex would go well with Alli but I'm having trouble with a middle name....also any other first name ideas would be great! I like names that are short and not difficult to pronounce....my sister does too! :) Thanks for your help!

Before anyone jumps to conclusion and says Hydrocepholus, let me explain what is going on. At my 20 week ultrasound today, the ultrasonographer told my doctor that when she scanned the brain, she said the space with fluid looked a little larger than normal, so she measured it with the ultrasound equipment and the measurment turned out to be in perfect range. My doctor said not to worry about it but that is completely impossible for me. She said it looks larger all the time on ultrasounds and turns out to be nothing. My question is has anyone ever had their doc say this to them and it turns out to be nothing? I don't want false hope, but I don't want to worry myself into preterm labor. Any feedback is appreciated.

I belong to a few egg donor agencies... Which is the best one? Possibly the most caring? the most responsive? pays the most?

Any good experiences out there? Please share.

Hey so i just had a baby 1 month ago tomorrow, and I feel that I am different. I feel like I hate myself, I fight with my husband for NO reason and my mom and others around me. I just yell and go kinda like crazy and just push to fight. I don't even eat anymore really... I can't get myself to eat... I just feel so low and when I fight with my husband I feel like I hate myself and I don't deserve to be with him or the baby. I am so scared that I'm going to be bad mom now... I have just changed so much in a month, and I see it... I have only been like this for two weeks now.. i'm embarassed to tell my doctor how i feel... is this normal?! please help me,before i lose my family...

this is a lot of information and i'm sorry about that, just quit reading if you want. :)

anyway- i have had really bad diarrhea for the last 2 days and my doctor has me drinking lots of fluids and gatorade etc, so i have been doing that.
today i noticed bright red blood on my toilet tissue after wiping back there, but there is no blood in the stool. even when i haven't, you know, gone #2, there is still blood on the tissue from back there (i know it isn't coming from the vagina, it's from the back) it's been happening all day.
i don't hurt like i have hemmorhoids, just feel a little irritated down there, but could the irritation from the diarrhea cause the bleeding?
i don't know if it's normal or something that i should be worried about??

(i'm 32 weeks pg)

I am somewhat familiar with him and some of his habits, and know the basics of baby care, but this isnt like starting with a new baby and learning as you go...he has his own ideals already of how things should go and doesnt like for me to change them! I have so many questions to ask...but thought it might be best to simply ask for general advice and go from there.
