My husband is eleven years older than me and was married once before. After he and his first wife got a divorce, she found out that she was pregnant. He was present for the birth of the baby, signed her birth certificate, and spent a year helping to raise her. Turns out the baby was never his. Now we want children of our own, but I feel very hurt and jealous that he has already experienced pregnancy and birth by anther woman's side. How can I deal with these feelings?

ughh i know this topic has been done to death but i'm in desperate need for some help. this is my first pregnancy.
here's the story:
i was slightly underweight before i got pregnant last year. i'm 5'7" and i weighed 115lbs. i got pregnant in july of last year and steadily gained about 60-ish pounds by the time i gave birth in april. i ate whatever i wanted in the first trimester and the first half of the second trimester but i figured that it wasn't worth it to gorge myself on food. so i began eating fairly healthy with the occasional sweet but my weight still grew steadily. by the time april came around, i was a whopping 174lbs.
my son is now 6months old and i weigh 150lbs! i hate my thunder thighs and my belly. i go for 2 long walks a day with my son and dog, i use an exercise bike when i can, i eat healthy, i drink tons of water so why am i not losing any weight? i've stayed at 150lbs for the past 4months.
i'm breastfeeding still but i don't know if that has anything to do with it

Another poster asked about planned YOUNG pregnancies and many answers mentioned marriage, even when the people are 18, so I'm wondering your views on...

planning a pregnancy with a significant other without planning to get married?

planning a pregnancy with a fiance who you plan to marry?

I'm currently almost 25 weeks pregnant, and I have an "innie" belly button. Will this eventually turn into an "outie" before I have the baby? Silly question I know - but I was always curious about it!

i was just wondering about your thoughts on getting a abortion?

would you ever get one?

if yes why?

do you think the guy should have a say in the girl gettin an abortion yes or no?

is it ok if a girl is raped?

I think a person that gets an abortion is being selfish and only thinking about themselves and not the life they have inside them and are going to bring into this world

hi - sorry if this sounds silly! I'm just a little obsessed! I am white, blonde hair blue eyes. My husband is mixed race - his mother is caribbean black and his dad is white (blonde hair blue eyes). My husband has light skin and green eyes. Is it possible to have a child that is blonde? Is it possible to have a child darker than my husband? Of course, I just want a happy healthy baby, but what do you think? Does anyone know someone who is 1/4 black/caribbean?

Is there some kind of a "formula" for figuring this out? Some days he eats around 20 ounces and others it's closer to 25 ounces. I don't "limit" his feedings because I figure that if he's eating, he's hungry BUT I don't want overfeed him and lead him into a lifetime of obesity.

Please advise. Thanks!!!

Ok so here is the deal: On the 16th of september i had unprotected sex as well as on the 25th of september then got a regular flow of period. Then i have had unprotected sex again last week and this week. I have been feeling moody, hungry, sore breast but not really, and my tummy is bloated. Like it was last time i was preggo (but lost it). What are my chances? Right now i think a test would be too early to tell since my next period are not due for another 2 and a half weeks... So lease dont tell me to get a test.
THX!!

I've been off the pill for about a month now, and I want to get pregnant. I'm not sure when I ovulate, if I'm normal it's about this time. My husband and I have had sex three days out of the past four and I'm feeling cramps...and I have a headache and feel tired. Is this normal after the pill? Or is this implantation? or just ovulation?

I love to snuggle with him and talk to him and show him things in the house and outside but should I be "doing" something with him to encourage his physical/mental development? I'm worried that I'm missing out on a critical learning period by "slacking" on what I'm showing/teaching him.

Please help this frazzled first-time-mother. Thank you!!!!

I put my daughter down after her bottle around 9-10 pm depending and she sleeps for maybe an hour and then she's back up and fights going back down. At night when I give her a bottle , she will fall asleep on my chest after burping her and as soon as I put her in her crib she's wide awake. I am literally getting no sleep. She barely naps during the day so sleeping during the day is out of the question. I have tried the bath and bottle before bed , she doesnt really nap so that's not the issue, I am so tired , I feel sick.

My 15 year old daughter has just come to live with me. She lived with her Dad from age 10 to 15.

Now that I am with her more on a day to day basis, I see that she sleeps a lot. She comes home from school and wants to take a nap.

In my mind, she should first finish all of her schoolwork, take a shower and then watch TV and sleep for the night. I used to tell her, but I now leave her alone.

Is this normal behavior for teenagers? Do they tend to procrastinate doing their homework and sleep for some time?

I usually get bloated at night and sleeping on my stomach feels so good. Sometimes I wake up on my stomach also. When is it bad for the baby?

I am not saying that littlegirls that are pregnant dont deserve that baby i am just saying that god works in very odd ways. considering that their are girls as young as 12 years old and having a baby. i mean how in the hell is a 12 year old going to support a baby when she is still a baby herself?! however some people dont deserve to have childern such as this little girl that is friends with my sister in law. she has 5 childern and her youbgest is 15 months old, and what is her age you ask she is only 18 as of june. now you tell me why i should not be a little bit angry at the situation.

I love Elizabeth Page and Kaitlyn James. But my boyfriend thinks the first name sounds ridiculous and doesn't like the idea of James for a girl's middle name. I also like Katherine, Michelle, and Sophia. All suggestions welcome!

*If you do not like any of the names given, please don't be negative or hurtful.

I have recently noticed that my lower belly area is getting fatter and there are a couple of stretch marks that I didn't notice before. I had my last AF visit on sept 17 and she only lasted 2 days and stopped suddenly. the month bf she was 2-3 days with a gradual fading. A week after this last AF (sept 24) I developed a chest congestion/infection. Could these all be related and I'm just too scare to get the test. Have been ttc for 11 months and not wanting to see the BFN. I have an appt with OBGYN on Nov 13 for my yearly...I am just hoping this is not something worse. Any thoughts/suggestions will help ease my mind until my visit.
