Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 October 2007

I just noticed a week or so ago that I havent had a period in about 5 months. Since May. The last time I had sex. My boobs hurt and are getting bigger,I pee alot more than usual. My back is hurting more than usual..and i always have neck pains.My stomach feels a lil hard if you push on it but i'm not sure?? And I was wondering if i was around 5 months prego,wouldn't I feel a baby kick or anything??? Somebody give me some advice..I have taken 3 at home prego tests but they were cheap and they all said negative. Im going to the dr Thursday though for a dr prego test. So yeah im nervous. Any advice please help?

I know I had just asked a question about my son having acid reflux, but what are most of the symptoms?? If your child had it, how did you know?? What signs were there?? And about what age did you realize it?? Thanks Again!!!

I have been reading some answers to other questions by people saying that their kids (around the same age as mine, maybe 2 months older) can count to ten, know colours and the alphabet and all this stuff. I am now worried that I havent spent enough time trying to teach my daughter these things. She can count to 5 (not 10!) she doesn't know the colours, when she says the alphabet she only goes up to 'f' by herself and can say 'kitty' 'puppy' and our dogs names, she says a lot of other words too but doesn't speak full sentences yet. I am getting scared because I don't really TRY to teach her anything, I talk to her a lot but mostly she plays and I take her out to be with other kids. What is normal for her age (20 months)? I was hoping for her to be bright as her daddy is a very smart man and my IQ is 135 which aint too bad.

She knows this- when two people love eachother they hug and kiss and the a man plants a sperm in the women and the womens egg and mans sperm mix and make a baby. In her chool they chose not to do sex ed so I want to teach her. I dont want anythig gross I want to tell her the details though.

i find that kids these days are really big built for their age.

my youngger sis is 12, and she's tall for her age. im 16 and really petite for my age.

a few years ago, she brought her friends over. i thought " aww... they're so cute"

and today, she brought her friends over. i thought they were little tots cause they're only 12. but i saw them and i was so shocked.... they are 12 and and had the looks of a 15 year old. from height, weight and everthing.

out of intrest, my teacher had this discussion with me about this afew days ago and she said that kids are growing like monsters these days.

i mean, what do they eat???
are kids in your area growing at that rate too?
if they are, i guess its normal

I think sex-ed in many schools in America is pathetic. In my health textbook, it says that to prevent getting an STD, don't ever have sex until your married. While I may agree with no pre-marital sex just in case you get knocked up, you shouldn't be teaching kids that marriage magicly prevents you from disease! This all helps kids to WANT to have sex when they are way too young. I mean, seriously, you want what you can't have more than what you can. What do you think?

My husband and I have been fighting for the last month and it is to the point where I want to leave! We have to very diffrent point of views on the subject of stay at home moms see my mother was a stay at home mom and was there me whole life and I could not imagine leaving my one year old daughter with strangers and want to stay at home, but his mother was never there when he was younger and worked all the time and he feels both parents should work, I have checked into child care ex: nannys, childcare centers, babysitters and they all run about 8 to 12 dollars an hour and Im 20 I had my daughter a year ago and had to stop going to school due to having her so right now I could only bacially get a job at min wage which is 6 dollars so why would I get a job just to pay more in child care? also he is in the navy and is gone for months at a time so arranging a scedual would be even harder , someone with any insight please help he is so mean about the whole subject I would just love a 2nd op

My fiance and I were planning on a June wedding, but have been engaged for a year now and wanna move it up. So we decided on January 19th. What do you think is a good color for bridesmaid dresses and the vests and ties for the guys? I'm already thinking a dark maroon.. .NO BLUE OR GREEN.

ALSO.. What are good ideas for Brides maid and Groomsmen gifts?? I cant think of anything! My bridesmaids are my sister and best friend and another girl friend, and the groomsmen are just all friends of his.

SO my best friend drinks alot, my sister doesnt and is a hardcore christian like me along with my other bridesmaid, and all the groomsmen drink alot too.... SO WHAT DO YA THINK!?!

Thanks in advance!!
sorry not pregnancy related but no one looks in the wedding category :(

My friends son is now 2 and a doctor addressed rectal bruising. This occurred after a visit to his father and grandfather. The little boy is demonstrating all kinds of behaviors including inappropriate actions to the dog, gagging, posing with his butt in the air and saying things such as "do me". My friend has managed to get supervised visits and she is doing everything she can to pay for lawyers who do nothing. She needs a strong advocate, someone to really help her save her son. I would appreciate any suggestions or contacts as I have a son of my own and I cant stand the thought of what the two of them are going through. Thanks for any help or links you can give, especially people who are willing to get involved.

I found out today, that my girlfriend is pregnant, but I have a slight problem. At the moment I am not financially stable. I am very happy that we are having a baby, but I am not sure if we can afford it. Adoption and abortion is absolutley out of the question, because I have wanted a child for two years now. Does anyone know of any kind of financial support program? I have been looking for a job for a year, but the employment oppurtunities are very slim around here. Any FIRST time father tips would be helpful also.
Thanks, Mike

We are still having some troubles agreeing on a name. We played a little
game where I wrote down 15 names and she wrote 15 names. Then we took turns
circling and crossing out names from each other's list, and then circled and
crossed out names from our own list. These are the top 10 results:



Everett Andrew Dunlap
Lennon Andrew Dunlap
Jonas Andrew Dunlap
Dexter Andrew Dunlap
Bryce Andrew Ray Dunlap
Brennan Andrew Ray Dunlap
Jake Andrew Dunlap
Isaac Andrew Dunlap
Dimitri Andrew Dunlap
Vaugn Andrew Dunlap

Copy and paste the names and number them from 1-10 (1st choice to 10th choice)
