Did you want to know the gender of your baby before (s)he was born? Why or why not?

I am not pregnant yet. But, I am still in the air if I would want to know or not. Here are my reasons: To Know: plan nursery and buy clothes; Not to Know: surprise.

My daughter is 9. She is very very bad at sports and she dreads going to school on PE days. Despite best attempts, I don't think she will ever be able to do basic things like forward rolls, handstands, headstands, cartwheels, climb on climbing frames etc. Although she was very badly behind other children in swimming she is now begining to catch up and I think she could be quite good at that; she also has no problems with co-ordination in dancing although she will never make a dancer.

She walked at 16 months and had difficulty going down stairs one foot at a time until she was about 5 or 6.

Where is the dividing line between being bad at sports or having a physical disability? Could she have some undiagnosed disability? What should I do? She is so unhappy as it is affecting her friendships when she can't play with the others in the playground because she can't physically manage their games? I feel so sorry for her.

Can anyone give me some advice?

Do they dig in and eat it all at once or did they just eat a few pieces last night? My son only ate 1 piece last night while trick or treating but he fell asleep on the way home. He only ate 2 pieces this morning. I used to put a real dent in mine on the 1st day but I guess he isn't much of a candy person.

He hits himself or scratches himself when he gets mad or frustrated. I don't know why he does this or how to stop it. We are not a violent home. I have spanked him before but it was never a main form of punishment, really only a handful of times. I don't do it anymore since before he even started hitting himself. His punishments are time-outs. He is a very good boy but gets frustrated very easily, me too. With God's help I am trying to calm down, I am just high stress and learning new techniques through prayer. We really have a loving home though. I don't know what to do about this and I fear for the future with him continuing to do this. Any suggestions?

I talk openly and often with my 12 year old daughter, so I knew that a lot of the kids at school were using exacto knife blades to carve things into their skin (their version of tattoos, I guess). We had a long talk about how dangerous and inappropriate this is. Despite that, yesterday, she came home with the initials of the little boy that she likes carved into her forearm. Obviously, talking isn't good enough. Any suggestions on how to handle the situation?

Another one of my friends that live out of town is pregnant. I am so upset because it is not me yet.

She don't know what she is having, she wants it to be a surprise. She is due in a few weeks.

Anyways, she said she is naming her child:

Girl:

Elisiana Marie Lynn
or
Zarina Chantal Marie

Boy:

Alexander Diesel Stone
or
Christian Denim Lee

Pick one girl and one boy name that you like the best.

Please do not add your own opinions because they are not open to new ideas.

Also, an extra question. When you hear the name "Kaia" how do you picture her in your mind?

my 6 month old daughter started a new habit lately and I find it hilarious but strange. She used to coo, babble, baby talk, laugh and all that. Only now for some odd reason all that has almost ceased for a very low pitched gurgley Growl. Sounds evil and menacing. It freaks my sister out when she watches her. She also gets this mischevious slantly eye look while shes doing it. I have tried to get her to go back to the cutsie sounds but she prefer the demon baby approach to talking. YIKES does anyone elses kids do that.... OF COURSE I know nothings wrong with her and love her all the same but I am just curious.

Why do people think that spanking is natural?
Why do they think that it has 'the way it has always been'?
Spanking was brought to the Western world with religion and is not profound in other cultures where there is less crime.... I dont' understand why people hit their children and defend their parents for doing it to them. I dont' get it...

2 optionsl:
-give birth to a child and spank, or slap it (using words like 'with an explanation' or 'softly' or 'open hand' to justity it)
-or have them run wild

What about all the other options out there... why to peopel justigy this?? I have 2 kids and they are wonderful students and repsectful and never spanked. I don't get how peopel do that. I was spaned. I remember how it felt and so I didn't pass that on to my kids.

I know this may sound strange but I wondered if it still happened in our societies ( Europe, US..). I want to have a child of my own but I'm really scared of the giving birth process, especially as my mother had a lot of problems after having me...

hi everyone, i am 25 weeks pregnant and i think i can feel the baby kick. its a sort of popping sensation mostly at the bottom of my tummy, happens alot when im sitting leaning forward at my desk and at night when im in bed. but just two weeks ago the doc said it was unlikely i was preg as he couldnt feel anything there when he examined my tummy. but i got a second opion a week later and that doc reckoned i am definatly preg as my hcg levels were high ( i think about 4000 he said). i thought id miscarried in july ,ive had no period since and its only just lately my belly has started to grow. so if i was still preg surly the kicks would be much stronger now? i am so confused as up until a few weeks ago my tummy was virtulaly flat when laying down but i noticed this small round sort of lump below my bellybutton. thats what made me go to the docs and thats when he said it was highly unlikely i was still preg after feeling my tummy.
id be greatfull for any advice.
thanks.
