Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 November 2007

I know everyone is different and there is no telling when I'm gonna start showing but when did you start to show? I am 7 weeks and my pre-pregnancy weight was 134, 5 ft. 4 in., this is my 1st and I'm 20. Can you make a guess when I'll show?

I have 5 children ages 13,11,7,5, and 2 and my husband and I argue every year on how much to spend. I have a tendency to spoil them - how much total is an appropriate amount for all five kids?!? Thanks for your help!!

Okay last night ( I'm 15 btw) I was at the local movie theater with some of my friends ( 3 guys 4 girls & me). Well while my friends were getting there food, I had to go to the bathroom. Well I was walking back to the bathroom, & i had to walk past some guys. Well when I was walking past them they started whistling & stuff. That didn't really scare me, I was just ignoring them. But then one guy started talking about how he wanted to have sex with me & stuff. He was talking about what he wanted to do to me!! That really freaked me out. So I ran back to my friends, & I was almost crying ( I was rapped when I was 5 so i was really scared). I told my friends what had happened, & my guy friends were p*****. They almost punched the guy.
Anyway my question is how would you have reacted in this situation? I told my mom about it & she told me I should have called the cops. Should I have called the cops? Do you think I reacted okay?

Ok, I'm 16 and my friend is about one and a half years younger than me. She was telling me the other day how her mom put her on birth control pills and is telling her that she's gona do it any way so she better do it soon. Oh and by the way, her boyfriend is 18. They've been going out for a while, but I think this is so wrong of her mother because my friend doesn't want to.

I can't help but notice how many very angry adoptive parents are on this forum. I was raised by an adoptive father who could not control his rage and it manifested in much the same way as some of the posters here, long nonesical insults, breaking objects, kicking in doors, unfocused,disporportionate, fear based. Actually quite frightening, he blamed "liberals" for a lot of things, that type.

My question is, how common is this kind of anger in adoptive parents and are these questions even asked about in the home study?

In other words why are so many disturbed people allowed to adopt?

My fiance has been worried that she is pregnant. She is on BC for 2 months( and has taken all of them, just may not have been at the same time everyday.When we had sex, I wore a condom some of the times. She got her period on time, but she is still worried she may be pregnant. I keep telling her she needs to settle her nerves. She says that her stomach feels weird and its almost like nerves, it doesnt hurt, but she says it "feels weird" She also said that she has lost 3-4 pounds in the past week, and she is worried that means she is pregnant? Does it sound like she is pregnant? or is it just her worrying and her nerves, which is what I think is happening. I told her to wait until the middle of next week to take a test. 1, to make sure we get a valid test. and 2 to prove to her everything is okay and that she can finally settle her nerves. What do you think I should do to calm her down because I do not think she is pregnant?

well my family is huge and i am one of the youngest out of all the nieces and nephews. so before i was born all my aunts and uncles were paying for their kids needs. so they started a tradition. all the aunts and uncles draw a name and that is the only niece or nephew they bought a present for.

well now that i am 14 and all my older cousins are off in college, they made the cut off date 14 instead of 12. but now all the 14+ kids get money donated to a charity in their name.

i dont like this. i was mad when i was getting one gift but now NOTHING!!! and i get to watch my bother and sister get presents for years after!!!

is this a fair age and idea!!!!! i hate it and so do the older cousins but none of the aunts and uncles listen to us.

what do you think???

and PLEASE dont tell me that this is not in the spirit of christmas cause we have suffered enough with this one present child thing and now this!! we are pissed.

What did you try while TTC, what worked and what didn't?
Hi;) I'm TTC but I have very irregular cycles and no apparent ovulation. I have an appointment at a doctor (fertility specialist) but it's not until january. So until then I'd like to try things "on my own". What would you suggest? What did you try? did it work or not? I've been trying for like 1 year 1/2 and I'm really tired of waiting for it to happen!!!!!! it would mean the world to me if anyone had answers :)
Thanks for answering and baby dust to all those still trying! XxX

that the saying "The way you treated your parents will come back on you ten fold through your children" to be true?

I was a terrible teenager, and already my 6 year old is putting me through the ringer. When I think about her teenage years, I honestly break into cold sweats and if I think about it too long, it about sends me into a nervous breakdown.

Do you think it's true, that the way you acted as a child comes back on you through your own children?

Through November 8th to the 10th I was experiencing cramping in my stomach. My fiance came to visit me for a four day weekend. We offcourse had our intercourse (and yes we are trying to conceive) We had intercourse from the 10th to the 13th. My last cycle was in October 22nd...I started spotting yesterday (November 23) I spotted for the morning and it stopped by the afternoon, I spotted a small amount this morning and it stopped. I just visited the doctor they gave me a urine sample but the test came out negative. Could I still be pregnant?

I need to gain some muscle back- and get rid of these last 6 or so pounds. My son is 10 months and only nurses 2-3 times a day tops, so theres no reason I cant kick it back into high gear now. Iam sick of these boobs, and this layer of wonderful belly jelly...

I used to jog, but I cant right now, my boobies dont fit in a sports bra yet... lol.

What worked for you?
