i know it because i've gained weight, but should i be alarmed that my jewelry doesn't fit the same? i have rings on all of my fingers and only 3 of them will come off? should i have them cut off or just wait until after i give birth and lose the extra weight? ( SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE)

THIS IS MY FIRST BABY SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT OR EVEN LOOK FOR. LATELY SHE HAS BEEN KICKING AND MOVING ALOT AND MY LOWER BACK HAS BEEN CRAMPING OFF AND ON. I AM FEELING CRAMPS SIMILAR TO THOSE WHEN I'M ABOUT TO START MY PERIOD AND I HAVE THE FEELING LIKE I NEED TO USE THE BATHROOM (#2) BUT NOTHING COMES. SOMETIMES IT ALSO FEELS AS IF SHE IS SITTING RIGHT ON TOP OF MY CERVIX AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THE FEELING IS THAT IT FEELS LIKE SHE IS GOING TO LIKE FALL OUT. LIKE I SAID THIS IS MY FIRST BABY SO WHATEVER ADVICE OR TIPS ANY OF YOU HAVE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE!!! :)

My 3 year old sisters name is Destiny Ariyah Janelle Collier.
I am 23 weeks and it's a girl, I would like to name my daughter Ariyah Lee Aguirre. My husband is hispanic and i'm biracial so I am open to look at diffirent names but I think this one sounds ok. Is it wrong to take my 3 year old sisters name?? It is only her MIDDLE name. Some people say thats Destiny's name, there can only be ONE destiny, and i'm like well my babys name will not be destiny it will be Ariyah!!

What do you think is this wrong? Should I chose a diffirent name??

I have tried to do everything such as naughty chair and ive even cleared his room of his toys and told him where not doing something he wants to do. He says sorry then two minutes after hes behaviour is terrible again! Help.

I wrote thank you's for wedding and shower gifts but never expected to recieve or sent thank you's for birthday presents growing up.

Now my daughter is 2 1/2 and I haven't sent birthday thank you's the past 2 years. However, my friend's daughter sent us a thank you for her 1st birthday gift and it made me start wondering if I should be having her write thank you's for birthday gifts.

Also, If I do it for birthday, should I also do it for Christmas or Easter or Valentine's day or random gifts throughout the year? Just curious what everyone thinks. Thanks in advance!

My brother-in-law & his wife suffered the death of their son who was still born who died just a few days before his birth. The 1st year date (I'm not sure what title to give it) is coming up just 2 days before Thanksgiving. I want to be mindful & acknowledge what they might be going through,what they might be thinking & how they maybe feeling this Thanksgiving. Is it best not to say/do anything or is there away their baby can be remembered on what should have been (IS) his birthday? I've never been involved with someone who has loss a child to death.
Also ~ Our youngest is just 6 months older than their baby. I have a bit of guilt about the fact that I have 5 children & all where born "perfect & healthy" when I'm around them. They are in their 30's & this baby was to be their first. There's also another brother-in-law with a baby 4 months older then their baby. I know it's going to be hard to see us with our babies who are close to their babies age during this time. What to do??

When I got pregnant my daughter was 18 months, I had a severe miscarriage where I almost died. She pushed me away and went to her daddy for everything. I became pregnant a third time & it was a life & death situation where I was on strict bedrest and had the surgery (to close the cervix @ 12 wks). I tried at the time to hold her as much as I could and sit and play with her in the bed. But she never came to hug me or deal with me like she does her dad. I feel she sees my pregnancies as my abandoning her. In fact I went over the top with her and while I was supposed to be on bedrest at 32 wks pregnant, on her 3rd b-day I got up out of bed to bake a cake and make her dinner for her birthday.

Now at five she says she doesn't feel loved, I bend over backwards for her and it's never good enough and I'm really concerned when she gets older-what our relationship is going to be like. I don't want it to end like it did with my mom. I have 2 kids I love both equally so what's going on?

I am married, I have a 5 year old, and a 10 month old, both boys. I was in college when I had my 5 year old, I went back to school, worked, and took care of my child all alone. Then when I got married I worked a full time job, had another baby, took care of home, my kids and my husband. Now my husband is in Iraq, and I was still working a full time job and taking care of home and the kids, well now I have resigned from my position at work and this was my first week as a stay at home mom, well I love it! This is so easy, my life is stress free! I just don't understand why stay at home mom's says this is a hard thing to do. What was hard was getting up at 6am, getting myself and 2 kids ready, taking the kids to daycare and school working 8 hours a day, picking the kids up, cooking, cleaning, giving baths, reading stories, and getting ready for the next day. Why do stay at home mom's say this is Hard??? Real world experiences please.

I am now 36weeks pregnant. At 34 weeks me and my husband had been for dinner at Hard Rock restaurant. The music was very loud there and we sat there for an hour. I had worn a jacket to muffle the loudness from baby. I didn't know how dangerous the loud music is for baby. Will this affect my baby's hearing? Please, share your experience or what you know about it....
Thanks

My 3 week old sleeps so peacefully during the day time. however, at night she is awake every hour or awake for several hours at a time...Usually accompanied by grunts and other harmless noises. She seems to sleep better when it is light and noisy. Could the dark be the problem or the lack of noises at night? Would really like to get her into a more "normal" routine. How do we go about this?

So first off, does anyone find it at all strange that since studies started coming out in ~1985 that "hitting children is bad", that serious injuries from child abuse rose 400% and fatalities increased by 48%? ( http://www.indicators.ak.org/indicators/ChildAbuseReptRate98F.htm )

Secondly, why is it that children born after this research have less of an attention span, and no respect for their parents nor elders?

I am against child abuse and against hitting a child out of anger. But I would simply like to know:

Why has our society's view on hitting children resulted in the situation getting worse instead of better?

I'm due with my second baby in two weeks. He is very excited about the baby and we have a positive home environment. He decided he was done with diapers a week before his second birthday. Until the last three weeks he has had about five accidents total in the last year and a half. I don't want to make him feel bad as I know this kind of thing is fairly common (regression before a new sibling arrives) but I'm running out of sheets. I'd appreciate any suggestions that don't include humiliating him.
