If you are a minor parent (17 and younger), do you really get medical benefits? because right now my parents are trying to adopt my daughter to get her medical benefits from the military, but my baby's daddy said we get free medical and we have more rights because we're under-aged parents. also, he said my parents could get in trouble because my parents lied saying adoption is the only way to get her medical needs.

pleaaaaaaase help. thank you!

Ok. This is the fourth or fifth time I have been invited to a "diaper party". So a woman has a baby shower; then a couple of weeks later I get an invite for (in my opinion a second baby shower) this diaper party, where you are supposed to bring a package of unwrapped diapers for the new baby.

I find this to be really tacky. Is this a new thing, is it regional? I'm from Michigan, and I'd like to know if you find this tacky and where you are from.

My due date for my 2nd child is 5 days from now and I have not been checked by the Dr. yet to see how far along I am..... Is this unusual? I was getting checked every week from 36 weeks on for my 1st. How long does it take to drop completely and how long after you drop does labor start? At the Drs. on Aug. 27th I was told that the baby was 3/4 the way down...... And at my last appointment on Sept 5th I was told the baby's heart beat was fairly high and if there was a decrease in movement to go to the hospital.......... it really didnt help me out on what I wanted to know.

I'm having a baby, and I'm stuck for names, I already have two boys, Floyd and Axel, and I'd like to still have the "Rockstar" theme.
I was considering Slash, but I think thats a bit too much, and So I'll have it as a middle name. I don't know the sex of the baby, so can I have ideas for both genders.

I don't like to tell you I told you so but didn't I. Just felt it right from the start went with a mothers instinct, knew there was something not quiet right about these two, but I do feel gutted I just know its them. You don't leave your children in a house on their own no matter what, and why stay in portugal all this time tippical guilt, you go home to be with friends and family, and what the effect must be on the other children and these two parents doctors, it doesn't take an einstein to see this is not right, pity the general public are not such good einsteins and as for the Portugees police well what a shambles perhaps now they will get on with finding out where the parents put Maddie's body and let her rest in peace. and as a foot note thank goodness one paper had the guts to voice their oppinion, I have all along but no, no one wanted to know, just shows you go by your own instincts and not the majoriy.

I was taking clomid CD3-8. I had possiable + CD16-19 in am, but obviously - every night. CD 17-18 I had really bad overy pain, I thought it may be O pains and on CD19 they were gone and with the +OPK I had IUI on CD19. Just for kicks I took OPK on night of CD 19 and was neg. I quit testing on CD 20 figured already IUI no point. I know I'm giving way TMI, sry. I never had EWCM( which I heard was NL on Clomid) but ever sence IUI have had very thin CM. First question is could cramps have been me ovulating? second question is shouldn't my CM be getting thicker by now? I'm on CD 22 now. I usualy hve a 28-30d cycle.

I took my 2 year old to Dr for regular check and she said with so many teeth it is time for her to go to the dentist.I am a little worried about this because I do not want them to use those filthy tools .I read a while back in the news dentists tools and the water that comes out to clean thier mouth has alot of bacteria on them.Can I ask the dentist to wash thier hands and use freshly cleaned intsruments first, and if he does not can I leave and get my mooney back so I could take her to different one? Does anyone else take thier two year old to dentist?

I'm 16 and pregnant in 38th week (no father around).My father (mother in jail) wants to punish me for getting pregnant all the time and now he knows my due date is this week,he decided to go to a 1-week-trip without me.Their plan is to leave me alone at home,locked in my room (with bathroom,food and drink inside) with no phone and only with my computer.So when I go into labor,I won't be able to call an ambulance or go out ofthe house to go to the hospital.I'm already locked and I'm afraid I will go into labor and deliver at home with no medical help at all and I may die.What should I do?

I am 5 months along and have the WORST time sleeping at night. I have tried everything. I've read hundreds of Q's and A's on here about it and tried everything I've read. Taken warm baths and showers, warm milk, relaxing tea, a tylenol PM, I already use a ton of pillows for the comfort portion of everything. I get comfy enough to sleep but I just lay there wide eyed. My whole body just feels exhausted like I want to fall over and sleep for AGES. And then once I finally DO fall asleep I wake up just about every hour. It's getting really frustrating. Aside from the things I've already tried does anyone out there have any other suggestions. At this point I'm willing to give anything a shot as long as its healthy for me and my baby. Thanks!

Ok, this may be lengthy, but pls bare with me. My husband and I are looking to adopt but we dont want an infant, we actually prefer an older child. W already have our own, but I am adopted too, just not in the common sense. (my adoption was complicated) Anyway, we would like to adopt an older child. Does that make a difference. I am afraid to do foster care because I get attached easily. What if "mommy" comes back? That scares me!! I would like a child around 4 and up. give or take. There re so many kids out there without someone to love them. My husband and I want to love them. I am in school to be a paralegal and possibly law school when I graduate. What do they look at when looking to adopt? We have no criminal records, we are prior military cops and no drug or alcohol problems, but we have bad credit and we rent. Is that bad? I just dont want to be rejected. I think that would hurt, someone telling me I am not good enough to love a child. What should I do? Help! Advice needed!

Do you think condom is the best? Do women feel satisfaction if a men use condom,I mean cause they wouldn't have direct touch. Or maybe natural prevention is better? What do you think?

It seems like some of the people on here just want attention. How do you respond to them? Do you try to just ignore them? What type of responses do you give?

Or something that may refer to the third, aside from Trinity? We are about to have our third child, we had a son that passed away so there will just be my son and my daughter around, and sometimes I feel as though we forget about our son that did not live, I was looking for a middle name to give my daughter that would have something to signify she is the third, so I will always keep my second born in my thoughts. I've looked for a couple of hours and can't really find anything.. any help?

I'm writing a story, and I need both male and female names. Mostly female names, though.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated. Thanks.
