I am currently pregnant with my second child and since having my scan which has made it more 'real', the reality of having to give birth again is starting to worry me!! I'm trying not to let it bother me as the baby has to come out some way but I am terrified of tearing/episiotomy/forceps!
My 1st labour was only 1hr 11mins after induction but I think the thing that is causing worry is that I maybe small internally. My baby was only a 4lb premmie and I felt like I struggled so if it was an average size this time then its not gunna come out easily!!!
Any words of reassurance or anyone else suffering in fear like me?!
Sensible answers only please.

We (my husband and I) had unprotected sex on Saturday night, it's now Wednesday and my period is due in about a week. When can I test? It's doing my head in having to wait lol.

And before I get the sarky comments, i'm a 26 year old married women who knows perfectly well how to use contraception, but sometimes it does fail!

Cheers.

My son has shown great interest in new pants and is really good at using the potty at home. However, he is usually naked bottom half, which is fine becuase of the summer and he is at home. The moment I put pants on him him forgets and even though I do keep checking, I do not want to nag and he keeps saying he is ok and then two seconds later an accident occurs.

The real problem lies at nursery where I always pack spares and a pull up because it has only been two weeks. He is getting through the spares and they are putting him in the pull up, which I think is confusing him and want to stop packing it, but am also really stumped as to how to get him to tell the teachers he needs a wee before he has wet himself.

I would like to get him to tell me he needs a wee before he does it too!

Any advice would be helpful

I have got a son who has just started school & it's been on my mind for the past 6 months. If i had another baby would the age differance be a problem? Can we really afford another baby as both of us are on low wages but higher than to qualify for tax credits?

I had a dream Saturday night that I was in the hospital having a baby and I was given meds and when I woke up it was time to push. I did and SHE came right out. SHE was 7lbs 7oz. I don't know how many inches long she was!! She looked like me and my bf and had pretty slick curly hair. The nurses laid her on my chest and then I kissed her. Then they took her to be cleaned up.This is when the dream lost me.

When they brought her back she was a fake baby. Like a real looking baby doll. It was weird. I ended up taking her home as if I couldn't tell she was fake. I realized it when I got home from the hospital. Then I called the Labor and Delivery and they said they never had me or my daughter listed as patients!! So I was calling around crying looking at this baby doll in the car seat. What is this about?

I'm 22yrs old with no kids and a love for children!!! Maybe I've been spending too much time in the pregnancy section. What do you think?

Hi there, as some of you may know i have to go for a c section on Monday due to me having Placenta Previa, I went for my 'pre op' yesterday and they took bloods etc for x match, they explained that i should expect to stay in for about 3 - 4 days. I am extremely excited knowing that our baby will be here in a few days but i am really worried about having the section and not being able to do anything afterwards! I'm also worried because the MW told me that i am to have paracetamol / co codamol to ease the pain after the op but the thing is, if i take 1 pain killer i'm dead to the world and worried in case i dont hear my baby cry for a feed at during the night if im doped up on painkillers!! This post is just a rant really about me being worried lol but if you can offer any good advice about my situation then please feel free!! All the best x

Here is a cute poem I found :)
Anyone have any they'd like to share? I love the baby poems!

Mother's Heart

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun
You're part of me my little one.
As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.

I'd daydream of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and Teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC's.
I thought of things you'd want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.

I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.
When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.

Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
Awed each day I love you more.

Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper, "I love you" every night.
I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journeys begin,
My heart's yours forever my little man.

only do it for themselves. People make all kinds of excuses, but basically adoption is the most selfish thing you can do, the adoptive parents are worse than the birthparents, they are the ones who want to buy babies.
Don't you agree that it's time to ban adoption?

Hi, I live in India in a joint family. So my family lives in the same house as my Uncle, Aunt, Nephew(14) and Niece(16).
During the afternoon nobody other than me, my nephew and niece are at home (others are at work).

Yesterday, after my afternoon siesta I went to my nephew's room without knocking and caught them in a very wierd situation. Both of them were completely nude and she was stroking his 'thing'. I could see that they were 'excited'.
I was very shocked and left the room immediately. They came to me and begged to not to tell anyone and said they were only 'playing mom-dad' and 'looking'. They said that they have been doing this for a few months now.
I dont know what to do?
Should I tell my parents or their parents? Since they are brother-sister - i feel very wierd. Please help?

I need to know if anyone knows how long it takes to have the "funny" feelings associated with being pregnant. For example normally loving the smell of coffee and all the sudden it makes you sick. Or morning sickness. Or just the general feeling of something being "different"

It has been 2 days since our last try. Any helpful tips would be fantastic. Thanks.

What do you think about the name "Remy"? for a girl.

And, second part of the question is, do you think "Brooke" is a better name? Why or why not? Thanks.

I have 2 year old twin girls. They BOTH listen to their daddy. I have to threaten them by sayin " I'm gonna get daddy " for them to listen to me. One of them listen to me to a certain extent, but the other one, not at all. I treat them both equally, what one has, the other has, what one gets the other gets, so its not a jealous issue! Any suggestions???
