Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 September 2007

So, I am planning on being pregnant (at some point-- I'm not even married or out of school yet) but I was wondering how to ensure that I get big-- is it even possible for me to affect that?

I love names, and am always drawn to the "baby names" category. Now, I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but some answers on here are rather aggrivating!

Like, the answers who criticise someone for choosing to name their baby a new, or modern name. Saying it is "fake" and that they should name them an older name.
In some situations I agree.. because there ARE some crazy names out there.

But with the more "modern" names..
When they say that "your child will never get a job with a name like that" or "they will hate having such an uncommon name.." do they not realize that there will be WAY more Brynnlies, and Peytons out there than Susans and Betties.

The names that are "different" and "new" today are in fact going to be normal, everyday names when the children grow up.

I guess I was just wondering if anyone thinks the same way as me, or has any opinions on this topic=)

certificate. The child knows him but the child is only 11 months and has contact with the biological father and his family. Would he still be responible for child support.

I was trying to come up with some baby names for girl. I had two possibilities for comming up with it.

one was comming up with a combination of either
leona or sophia (my gm names)
and
Janet or Ann (mom)

If i cant come up with something from using both my gm and my moms name I have two other names I like they arent too common, I want to use my moms name in there for sure and I want it to trace back to my heritage, german welsh so here is what I have, what do you think?

Arial Ann
Evony Ann

My son spent a few weeks this summer at his aunt's house. She has now brought to my attention that my son and her son started a touching game when they took baths together. My son is 9 and hers 4. When I asked my son about this, he paused and then went on to tell me this was true. He disclosed everything to me. He is a very passive boy who has empathy for others and is not a trouble-maker,

Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned with my sons role in this since he is he older one?

Please help.

For a while a friend and I have been debating whether or not a woman can be on her period while she is pregnant.
I was under the impression that if you are bleeding down there while you are pregnant then you are haveing a miscarage.....???
And if you have a period isn't that usually a sign that you aren't pregnant?

How can abortion be an option?? There are sooo many couples out there who would give anything to love a baby...and then there are people out there who are so willing able to have an abortion because they dont think its the right time... makes me soo sad... am I the only one that feels this way...? I dont believe in abortion in any aspects. Rape, teen, disabilities, anything...God brings babies into our lives no matter how its put here, and abortion should not be an answer. There is always adoption.

If you only want positive opinions of names, regardless of what people actually think of them ... why bother posting them at all? I'm curious.

I received a message from kittykrazii22 saying I was horribly rude and must have children with hideous names! What?! LOL And of course, I cannot even see the names or comments in question! I try to be sure my thoughts come across in a clear, helpful manner -- no matter how terrible I might (secretly) think a name LOL -- and as tactfully as possible. If something is too popular or trendy for my taste, I'll simply say so. If it's misspelled (especially in the case of a unisex name), I'll point out that there's no need to do that, and to simply use the name you love regardless of traditional gender. If it's an unusual but real name, I'll commend the parents for having their own style, whether it's MY style or not. So really, what about that is so rude it would warrant a personal attack?

So I ask: if you only want smiles and nods, why post?!

I have been trying hard for the past year and a half to get my 5 year old to take a shower by herself. She is always leaving shampoo or conditioner in her hair when she gets out....thats the main problem, she will spend forever in the shower and does a bad job washing her hair. I am always telling her not to take so long either because she messes around in there. So I am always watching and making sure she does it right. Half the time I have to wash her hair the right way. Because of the problems Im needing to know if I am expecting too much out of my 5 year old or shoud she be able to do this right every time.

My ex-boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on September 20th and the 22nd. He did not come in me, but I could feel his precum flow inside my body. My last period was September 5th and I know ovulation is about two weeks after a period, right?
I've been feeling nausea and I feel like vomiting sometimes. My breasts feel enlarged and they are tender to touch. I've been falling asleep more than usual during the day and feel more tired than usual. I'm only 16 but I just have this feeling that i'm pregnant, and I want to have this baby. My ex-boyfriend doesn't know about my feelings yet, and i won't tell him until I'm sure. I plan on taking a pregnancy test if I miss my period.
Could I be pregnant?

so for a girl..

marisa christine

and for a boy..

paul santiago

and dont hold back any criticisms cuz i'd rather know all the bad opinions about these names before my child has one of them for the rest of their lives!! so be honest and give me other names that i can consider!

thanks so much!

Ok so we live in a 2 bedroom house. Me, my husband, my 3 year old daughter, and my 9 month old daughter.
The baby just moved from our bedroom to her sisters room a couple months ago which is great but she is teething and her night time waking is waking up the 3 year old. She also has to cry herself to sleep.
Now the 3 year old has just moved into our room which really solves nothing.
We are planning on having baby #3 so we can't have any kids in the bedroom while that is going on. LOL
But we also bought a sofabed so for the time being should my husband and I just take the sofabed and let everything be. We don't mind sharing a room with a baby in fact we love it . And we do plan on having a new house hopefully by the time the baby is one.

i know how much work a baby is.


but we both just want to start a family together.
it would bring us so much more closer together.
and i am willing to throw my whole life away just to have a baby with him.
we know how much trouble we can get in with our parents and the law.
