Do you like William John or John William better? I love both the nicknames Will and Jack, so I'm really wondering which flows better. Both names are family names, so neither will be moved. However, if you can suggest others with similar names that would be fine.

Also:
James Andrew or Andrew James?
George Thomas or Thomas George?
Anne Elizabeth or Elizabeth Anne?
Catherine Mary or Mary Catherine?
or any other combinations using: Catherine, Mary, Anne, Elizabeth, Margaret, Virginia, Genevieve
James, Andrew, John, William, George, Thomas, Samuel, Lewis
All names are family names (yes, I know I have bland family names, but all of these people are important to me and I would like to honor them). Slight variations are okay.
By the way, I'm not pregnant, I was just wondering what you all thought of some of my top names
Thanks!

A while back my mom mentioned that if I ever wanted kids, but couldn't have any with my partner, that she'd act as a surrogate. So, I have two quesitons:
1) Is this possible?
2) Has anyone carried a baby for their child(ren), or has anyone's mother carried a baby for them?

He is 9 years old. He was extremely sick a few days ago with a high fever. We had to rush him to the ER. In the ER the doctors took a rectal temperature of 106! They had to give him an enema and a suppository to bring the temperature down quickly since he couldn't keep anything on his stomach. He cried a lot and the experience was very painful and frightening for him. Now I have to take him to his check-up but he is really embarrassed and scared. He starts crying every time. And the doctor has already told me that he will have to have a shot in his little booty.

My son is two and a half years old and he has started to figure out the potty thing. He is starting to take his diaper off and sit on the potty and actually use it. So I went and bought him some underwear so that he can be a big boy but he refuses to wear them. He only wants to wear the diapers he is still using the potty but wants to be in the diapers. So I am wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do, To get him to wear the underwear or should I just let him wear the diapers and no I have not tried pull ups just regular diapers.

How many months are between your kids? Were you breastfeeding when you got pregnant the second time? and did you plan for the second pregnancy? what is the minimum time to get pregnant again after giving birth?
please share your experience

We just found out that we are having a little boy.
Although it was very easy for us to pick out a girl name... boy names have been a challenge.

We've come up with Carter Gray as the only name we can agree on :)
I wasn't sure about it at first... I thought it seemed a little too much like the lead star of my mother's soap opera. But it's growing on me.

What do you think?

I have 14 kids & 1 granddaughter that all live at home with me. So I'm pretty busy. But I do find time for myself. I fix my hair every morning & wear nice clean fitted clothes, do you? Most of my kids can get themselves ready, except for the little ones. (like under 5)

A bit of an odd question.

Say you were going to have five kids (of course, not all at once), put the following names in order that you'd name your kids. From your first child (which would be your oldest) to the last child (which would be your youngest):

Malakai (male), Damien (male), Scout (female), Lotus (female), Shiloh (male)

Ive had a LOT of problems with pregnancy's.
This is my 5th pregnancy total.
3 miscarriages (10, 12, and 16 weeks)
1 abortion 10 weeks (medical reasons)
Now 34 weeks along with my little boy (the doctor said I couldn't have kids any more but here I am!)
Me and my husband are over the moon about finally having a baby.

Now however the doctor is talking to me about sterilization. I'm such a high risk for complications, she thinks it would be best to prevent any further pregnancy's.
I 100% agreed with this UNTIL I talked to my husband about it. He thinks I should go with a IUD (the chemical one that lasts 5 years) I asked him why and he said "You never know how we are going to feel in a few years."
The problem is I have had a lot of problems with chemical based birth control's. (the pill, patch, nova ring, shot, ect) And a history of cancer in the family makes the non chemical IUD dangerous also.

I think he wants more kids later, and I would love that! I just don't think its possible.

I am having a baby girl. We have decided to name her Gabriella...however my fiance wants her middle name to be michelle which I do not like one bit..at all. He is very stubborn on wanting this middle name as its his sisters middle name and it means alot to him. Question is should I just go along w/ him and let him have the middle name or should I stand my ground and say I will not have her middle name be Michellle?

My frined and I, we both of us used to party together, work in the same company and we were best friends. I decided to go back to school, graduated and aspired other goals in my life/career. Her goals were to get marry, buy a house, and be a stay-home mom. All her goals became reality, but she became bitter, always attacking me for not hanging out as before. Recently, we had dinner and when I told her that I want to get a MBA, and she somehow manipulated the conversation to accused me of being selfish for not wanting to have children right now and that "was nothing wrong saying that I was selfish". Question: are all women expected to have children? if so, why?

This is only for the ladies that had overdue babies, how many days did you go past your due date and did your doc have to eventually induce you? What was it like? I am 40 wks and 4 days. Doc wants to induce on the 10th if the baby hasn't came out by then. Please share some of your stories. Did you have to get c-sections or did you deliver vaginally? My doc said that the longer I wait, the more chances there are of a c-section? How true is this? I only want to do what is best for my little guy. I am going through a perfectly healthy/regular pregnancy. What did your doc use to induce you? Did he just give you Pitocin or Cervadil right away or did he break your water? I am very curious tyvm!

I went to the doctors a couple days ago for a usual checkup but he wanted to a blood test this time. So my results came back today and he said nothing to me about pregnancy... just that my blood is low and he thought that was odd. So he cant really understand and thats why he's sending me to a specialist. So i'm sitting at home and thinking... could low blood mean i'm pregnant?? or would a blood test show no matter what? even if it's too early to find out. Because now i'm 3 days late on getting my period and i think i'm pregnant. Should i go waste money and go to the store to take a test or just be sure that if i got a blood test done that it would of shown?? Please i need some advise
