Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 November 2007

CPS took my husband away from his mom when he was 11 years old because her boyfriend was abusing him and they were both doing drugs. He was put into a group home and then foster care. His mom basically told them she didn't ever want to see him again. He heard her say this imagine that. This happened in California and now we are about 1500 miles from California and married and we have four kids. He wants to find his mom just to tell her that he has a good life now and ask her some questions. How would we locate her? He said cps wouldn't give him her information or they didnt know where she is now.

I am going to have my 1st ultrasound when I am 8 weeks pregnant. I am wondering, if you had an ultrasound around then- did they have to do a vaginal ultrasound to see the baby, or could they see with an abdominal ultrasound?

My girlfriend and I have been together for 8 months. About a month ago I realised that I am not in love with her, and I was planning on breaking up with her and, before I could break up with her she told me that she is pregnant.
She is now putting pressure on me to get married, but I know in my heart that I don't love her the same as she loves me and if I do marry her it will only be because she is having our child.
Our relationship is not getting any better because she can see that I am not happy and in turn it is making her unhappy and depressed, which is not good for the baby.
I think that the best thing to do is talk to her as soon as possible and tell her that I don't want to continue our romantic relationship, but I will still support her pregnancy and our child 100% emotionaly and financialy.
Is ending our romantic relationship while she is pregnant the morally wrong thing to do?
I would resent the situation if I only stayed romantically involved because of the child.

Ok, I'm trying not to sound too frantic, but several months ago my gay friend and I (I'm female he's male, we're both 26) had sex. We were really drunk (please don't judge) and we went a little bit too far. We didn't use a condom and yesterday I discovered that I am pregnant. I want to keep the baby and I want for us to raise it together. I just don't know how to break the news to him. I don't have a boyfriend and neither does he, but I am still worried at what his reaction will be. He has always said that he wants to be a father someday, but I'm not sure if this is really when he was hoping. I also really want him to be there for the birth, because I'm really scared. This is very difficult for me because I want our relationship to stay platonic, but at the same time I lost my virginity to him.

Please, I just need some suggestions on how to tell him.

I was just hoping that someone who has maybe been in a similar situation can help me out. My nine year old daughter and I fight constantly. I know, it is ridiculous, to fight with a nine year old, but the thing is she speaks to me as if we are equal and speaks down to me. Her father spent 5 years verbally assualting me on a daily basis, and when he began to get physical I left him. Evidently she blames me for this... I had a lightbulb moment one day about 2 years ago, when she was an inch from my face telling me that "you mean NOTHING to me, do you understand me?", yes, she was 7 at that time. Anyways it occurs to me that she speaks to me exactly like he did, she just doesn't swear. I try desperately to ignore her when she gets like this, but after 6 years (her mouth started at 3), I just crack sometimes and we end up in a screaming match. I know I am the adult in the situaion, but I cannot help but feel like I have spent enough of my life being spoken to like a jackass. Ideas?

Happy Thanksgiving to all.
My question: If I drank a lot (like I have this evening)...several glasses of wine - and I were to find out later in the month (if I miss my period) that I am pregant, would this harm my child?

I am wondering all this b/c hubby and I had unprotected sex on 11/10 and I have been feeling tired, sore breasts etc..since...and it just occured to me..MAYBE I'M PREGANANT! Of course, if I were, I would drink NOTHING alcoholic. I haven't missed a period but just now have become suspicious of pregnancy.

Is it too early to "feel pregnant"? i am now upset b/c I drank so much tonight and now worry about it...If of course I am pregnant. Only a test will tell but what are your thoughts on drinking if I am 2 weeks along? At what point in pregnancy does alcohol reach the fetus with damaging effects?
Best/thorough answer = 10 pts. Thanks!

She made friends with these 2 girls very fast and they all played together at recess all the time. The one girl started to be mean to her out of no where and now the other one will team up against her. One day they are all friends and then the next day they both turn on her. She was crying about it and told me that they hurt her feelings. What is the best way to tell her to deal with the situation?

Well, I am 13 days late on my period, and I have got nothing but negitive pregnancy tests. I had sex exactly on the 1st of November we didn't use protection, he actually came in me and my husband and I have had sex sence then but we've used protection. I don't know what to think. I had two periods last month, once on the 9th that lasted the normal 5 days and then I got it again on the 29th and it lasted about 2 days which ended on the 31st. I don't know what to think. Can anyone help me??
