Especially when some the unborn children are at the same gestational age as some of the newborns. It aggravates me.

The hours I need childcare are very odd hours. I would need someone to either come to my house, or maybe I'd go there. The days I need are Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Each day I would need them 5 hours. Tuesday && Thursday- 11:30-4:30, and Friday 11-4. I may also need them an hour or two more a week but I would not know until a day or two ahead of time. I am wondering how much would be correct to pay them each week?
Thanks so much

ok here's the deal, this guy wants me to get a paternity test done although i know he's not the father. And on top of this he wants me to pay for it. I've already ordered a free test online and he took it, I just don't want to waste my money when i know he isnt my daughters father. Does anyone know where I can get a professional looking paternity letter, or can someone send me one in a email attatchment

could this just be a speech delay or something more? Has any parent went through this? Thanks

one of your coworkers became a surrogate mother? Would you make some kind of comment, positive or negative, about her being pregnant with someone else's child to help them conceive a family? Just curious, because I was considering becoming one, and I don't know how my coworkers would react. I really want to help a couple have a baby, because there is no better gift than the gift of parenthood! Thanks!

I got two questions actually...one he has a big thing with unplugging things from the electrical outlet and putting them in his mouth and then trying to plug them back in. I put the child cover things on them but he knows how to take them out. What are some other idea's? I do timeout and he just laughs and does not listen.
Also I know you should not give them to much juice cause there teeth and and the sugar. I give him the sugar free juice, is that still bad?

I am pregnant & I used to have my period every 3 weeks, does that mean my average length of cycles is 21 days? If not, how do you determine your length of cycles?

when tightly swaddled (and given pacifier) we put him in his crib awake and he falls asleep on his own. he sleeps 10 hours straight at night and takes 3 or 4 good naps a day. when not swaddled he needs to be rocked to sleep, then we lay him down and he is awake and screaming 10 minutes later (having pulled out pacifier) - then he is furious and tired and cannot settle down to go back to sleep. should we be trying to transition him away from the swaddling? HOW?!????

OK, I know there are many reasons that you chose to have it done to your baby. But how do you feel about the fact that it will take pleasure away from him? It was first done by the Egyptions to deny plesure, then the Romans for the same reason. So that slaves could get as much plesure out of it. Then brought to american in the 1800s to punish young boys for masturbating. In that case it was done with no drugs to be extreamly painful so the boy would know he is being punished. Other cultures do it for religous reasons. It removes what would become 15 square inches of sensitive skin that would pleasure the person when intimate. But they will never know that pleasure.

Here is my quesiton. How do you feel about taking this away from him?

I'm very confused. I am 6 weeks pregnant and bled for 4 days which now has stopped.. at first i had really bad cramps but it was only clear & pink...which soon turned into brown spotting. After that it began to be redish brown...NOT heavy heavy..but not spotting. Eventually it turned into brown spotting again & now it stopped. I had NO cramps after the first bit of blood..which I think is weird. This is my first pregnancy which makes me unbelievably sad & worried. My best friend always says she had her period the first 3 months of her pregnancy & it was like that. What's weird is that I still feel pregnant..Did anybody have this..if so what happened..?

My son will be 4 in January. I'm still having trouble getting him interrested in the toilet!!! He knows what "pee-pee"and "poo-poo" are and seems digusted when he sees them in his pull-ups or underwear. I'll sit him on his potty several times during the day for 30 minutes to an hour each day, but he WILL NOT try to go in it. The minute I let him get off his potty and put a pull-up or underwear on him, he GOES!! He won't even tell me when he needs to go. HELP PLEASE!!!

So about 5 weeks ago Me and my boyfriend were messing around. I think some pre-*** touched near my vagina. I was scared that I could have been pregnant. But then I started my Period on time. It was Normal. I was still concerned I was pregnant, so I waited for my next period and it came on time and was Heavy and dark like usual. (lasted 6 Days) I dont think I could still be pregnant. But I heard you can have a period and be pregnant. Do you think I am pregnant? Im going to pick up a test today and Im so scared it will say possitive. I dont have any Pregnancy symptoms besides a light headache, but this could be due to the fact that I have a cold.

Hi, I'm 17 and was adopted when I was a baby. And I don't know what my ethnic background is. I know my biological mother is white British, as I have a picture of her. She has light hazel eyes, light/medium brown hair, and very fair skin with freckles. And I have dark brown eyes, black eyebrows, very dark brown hair, and olive/tanned skin. I know nothing about my biologial father, for legal reasons, and I'd just like to know what his background is, as it's quite obvious i'm not full British. I know have a clue what I am. A couple a weeks ago a girl asked me if I was part Japanese as I have kind of oriental shape eyes. A few days ago someone from the Middle East asked if I was from England, and said I looked like the women fom Egypt and not English at all. But most people guess that I'm Spanish. It just upsets me a little that i'm not able answer them something as simple as that. I feel mixed up. Is there anything I can do to look up information about my dad?

My husband and I lost a baby girl last Aug at 21 weeks (Kimberly Ann) and when I asked my OB/GYN he said that no, unless something else was going on that I would not have to be on bed rest, but almost every woman I have spoken to has had to. My doctor told me to just take it easy. If I have to be on bed rest we are not going to try again because I don't think that it would be fair to our son...he is 3 and EXTREMELY active.

If you become pregnant while on birth control, would spotting on day 12 or 13 be a sign of pregnancy? and if you arent actually pregnant and just spotting will you have a regular period at the end of the month.

I am a nurse and I look into everyone who posts a reply saying they are a doctor on here. It is illegal to impersonate a doctor- even on the internet- and there is one person in particular who's got to go. K a n e G. Take a look at his answers. In several answers he claims to be a doctor for 5 years, then 27 yrs delivering babies. Then he has other answers telling women to just yank their babies out and other vulgar responses. He can't even spell pregnant right. I have looked all over the internet for this Dr. Daniel Kane Gauldin and I'm sure he doesnt exist. Tomorrow I plan to ask the doctors I work for to try and locate this doctor but I'm sure they will come to the same conclusion. All it takes to get rid of this looser is another report from a reliable Answers user. Thanks for your help.

Well im 15 & a couple of months ago my dad moved me & my mom, & brother from New York to Texas. Anyway im a freshman & at my highschool they had a college thing where diffrent people talked about diffrent colleges & they were talking about NYU ( that's where i want to go) & they had a letter thing you could sign up for information every month for only 10 dollars. So i signed up for it ( i payed for it with MY own money). So the first newsletter came today and my dad got really really mad! His saying that im never going to go back to New York ( even though when im 18 i can do whatever i want), that im not mature enough to go to New York ( even though i was born & raised there). His making me really mad!! His still hollering & screaming!!!!! What do i do? His really stressing me out, & his hurting my feelings!
