Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 September 2007

I still feel guilty about something that happened last year. My husband was deployed last year and my daughter (18 months at the time) and I got the flu - the real deal. I had a raging fever and was completely delirious. I had to crawl to her and fed her by reaching up into the cupboard and grabbing what I could reach. Looking back she was so ill she should bave been in hospital, but my judgement was completely off. And I could have gone unconscious and no-one would have known she needed help.

So, if you're the sole carer for your children and you get very ill, what options are there when you have no family or friend support? Who should I have called?

Those who believe they can not afford to have children, are potential parents that children can not afford to have.

ok ok this is probably stupid, please don't criticize im really just curious if when i give birth i will be able to have my mom or someone do my hair and make up before we take pictures with me and the newborn. (you know, tradition, gotta take pictures)

i know that should be the least of my worries, and it is, it's just something i've thought about. i'm pretty self conscious without my hair done at least, because it gets really frizzy when i sweat or work hard and i know it'll be frizzy and gross.

all my friends look good in their pix after they gave birth.

I asked this question a half hour ago but it never showed up on the list so i'm asking it again SORRY if it ends up on there twice i really didn't mean for it to.

My boyfriend of 4 months has really been talking about sex lately. I'm 14 and he's 16. He started asking me if I'd have sex with him why I dont want to go any further with him (we've kissed and madeout) i told him i'm not ready and he made a joke out of it. i told him i want to wait till i'm ready and i really love the guy. he's had sex once before and he keeps talking about it to. he keeps making provacative comments about me to like i'm so f*cking hot that i'd be so f*cking sexy naked...it makes me really uncomfortable. he said he wont pressure me but by saying that stuff i feel like he has. he finally said w/e when your ready your ready just let me know when that time comes. i do love him but i'm worried he only wants me for sex. am i wrong to wait? am i being to sensitive about this?

Sooooo, what do you think of Emily Victoria(her daddies middle name is victor) Rose (is mine)?
Emily Victoria Rose ?

I have two girls, 5 and 3 1/2. I dress them simple. Nothing fancy as long as it's appropriate for the weather and nothing outrageous. Simple like shorts and t-shirt, skirt (with shorts underneath) and a blouse, sometimes sandals or tennis shoes to go with their outfit. I'm not too crazy about name brands. I don't want them to value fashion to fit in certain cliche.

My daughter will be 4 in about 2 weeks. She did not talk until she was about 2 1/2. She was in Speech Therapy. She was released earlier this summer and had only like a 10% delay at that time, which wasn't a big deal at all since when she started she had a 75% delay! My question though is this.....She stutters a lot, do other 3 1/2 to 4 year olds do this often too because none of my other children did. Her speech therapist is out on maternity leave and is supposed to retest her when she comes back to make sure she isn't falling behind. Thanks!

My 13 month old son was doing very well a few months back sleeping through the night. I work early in the morning so getting up every hour on the hour is really hard for me. He just got all his mullers in and I give him teething tablets or some tylenol if his teeth hurt him. But I don't think this is it anymore. He used to wake up and be able to fall back a sleep but now he won't. I am exhausted and he is absolutely off schedule. Any advice?
