Seriously, how bad is it really? How do you get over the fear of actually having the child, labor and all of that? This fear is keeping me from wanting any. Does the epidural really take away some of the pain?

well here goes
i think a teacher at my school is a is a child molestor
the male teacher for some reason likes to spank his male students . he tells a student to come closer to him and then asks him if he wanna play computer and the student says yes and then the teacher tells that student to bend down and then the teacher feels on his azz and then spanks it and then lets the student play computer.should i tell the principal about this?

And what did you have to give up after having your children? Do you ever regret it? Trying to make the decision of wether or not I want to have any kids yet and wonder what I'll give up to have them.

What's the consensus on this? Am I being paranoid or a good mother? I have a son with developmental disabilities, and I don't want my 3 y.o. to suffer this as well. I'm sure my insurance would cover it. Best to err on the side of caution? I'd hate to imagine if he tested positive, I would sue the h.ell out of them!

Thoughts???

So I just wanted to clear things up. I'm not sure of what's happening but yes, let me continue. I had my period last month October 29th, after that I started ovulating on the 4th of November. On the 4th I had sex and during the ending of ovulating which was the 9th I started spotting just a bit; it came along with cramps; and a sore lower back for this whole week now. On the 10th it was still there a little then it wasn't there the next day. My next period is the 21st of this month. Now, I'm not sure if this is implantation bleeding; maybe this happens earlier than others. So for now I'm not really sure, and I will be taking a pregnancy test later.

I am almost to my 29th week and the further a long I get the more nervous I become. I have heard it is unbearable and then I have heard it isn't that bad. I'm not to nervous about the pain because I know it will be worth it, but it would be nice to know what to expect.

My husband and I are considering adopting a child or siblings. I was reading thru several applications from different agencies and noticed that some ask for contact information of ex-wives/husbands. My husband is divorced and has 3 children from his prior marriage. He keeps in contact with them as much as he possibly can, pays his child support and supplies them with whatever they need and ask for, when he can. So I have no worries there. The thing I am conserned about is that his ex-wife and he are not on good terms and she has said some nasty things about him on myspace and god only knows to whom else. Knowing the truth it never bothered me, but now that we are trying to start a family of our own thru adoption, I am worried about what she might say if she were to be contacted by the agency. Nothing else will stop us from being licensed to become adoptive parents. I am very conserned that contacting her might stop our dream from becoming a reality.

My seven year old lil girl has started her period. I have never talked to her about periods yet because shes so young. I was wondering if that was normal or should I suspect some kind of foul play with my baby? Should I go to the Dr and have her checked out just in case?

I'm having a hard time with my milk supply I believe. I have been nursing him since he was born and he never seems satisfied. It's really hard especially at night time because he is constantly crying. I started giving him formula (He'll drink 4 oz no problem) and he's been sleeping for 3-4 hours. Doctor said that since I started the formula he is gaining too much weight. I almost want to stop breastfeeding because it's SO frustrating for me. My son was 7lbs 6 oz at birth. 2 Weeks later he was 8lbs 4 oz. And now, 4 weeks old, 10lbs 4oz. Any suggestions??

I'm graduating in January and my daughter will be 8 months old for that time, and i have to start working to help up my husband with the bills (we have been strugling economically since i got pregnant.), but my mother in law bitches about the baby is to small and that she could take her to her country and take care of her for a year or two while we work (she is a lawyer for my bad luck), but when she says that it just piss me of!!! because for me kids have to be with their parents. I just want the best for my child, and im so afraid because i have hear of so many things about mistreated kids and bad nannies... What things i have to know before picking a Daycare? its pros and disadvantages? I really need help.
(At first with my husband we thought of: one work at day and the other work at night, but our carriers are day time careers...)
What can i do to get the nosessy mother in law out of this? (she lives with us she is a lawyer in her country)

My daughter is 3 and we just recently put her in daycare 3 days a week for the first time. She is an only child and hasn't had a whole lot of interaction with other kids. She has panic attacks while shes at the sitter. Other kids will be around her, and she starts to cry like she's been hurt, but no one is around her. This is for a solid 15 min, every hour or so. She also refuses to eat anything when she is there. Has anyone else had this issue? Does this go away or will it cause my daughter more harm, mentally, to be there?

My grandmother-in-law wants to buy my baby a swing for xmas. She already has an infant swing but she says this is something called a toddler swing. She says it's a swing on a frame similar to the infant swing in that way but it looks more like an outdoor swing but it is for indoors and it's for toddlers not infants... Has anyone ever heard of this? She said she found it in a store but I've never seen anything like it and I think it might be something made years and years ago they don't make anymore. If someone could send me a link of one that would be great or share a recent experience with it. I just wanna get an idea of what this is since I can't find one in any baby store.
