I had an abortion a year and a half ago,i wasnt ready,was on low income and my bf was no good. I was scared and had to make a decision fast. It didnt affect me much at first, it was more of a relief but it's affecting me now,i constantly think about how old my baby would be now,look like etc. I am now with someone new and feel ready to have a child,it's only my first month of trying this month but i came on my period so it's been unsuccessful,i'm getting nervous incase i cant have babies and god might be punishing me,i had a medical abortion,could this affect my chances?do you know someone who's had an abortion and got pregnant after?

For dads and moms out there, do you use the same carrier with your little one or are there some who prefer to use different carriers? How many of you use more than one type, say one for home and one for outings?

I picked up an original baby bjorn for myself, but I'd like to pick up one for my wife, either an active bjorn (to help support her back more), but I know she'd prefer a mei-tei wrap type carrier instead which I'd really like to get her.

Have any of you experienced your infant to prefer only a single type of carrier rather than alternating, can baby's be that particular (at 5 weeks)??? Thanks.

I am trying to decide on my baby girl's name, what does everyone think about Olivia or Audrey ? Are there any other "old-fashioned" girls names that you think are pretty ? Thanks...

My wife and I have had a rocky marriage for the last 9ms b/c I had to travel a lot for work for 2007. A couple weeks ago I came home and caught her cheating. Now we're starting the divorce process and she's staying w/ her mom by choice.
My issue has to do with our three boys. They're 12, 8 and 5 and currently living w/ me in our home. I'm asked daily about why mom isn't home and I'm not sure if I should tell them what their mother did or just say that Mom and I weren't getting along as the reason why she's gone/we're getting a divorce. Maybe only tell the oldest and not the other two? I honestly have no idea what to do, what the effect of telling all or one of them the truth will be or what will happen if they have to come into court during the custody battle and they hear the reasons behind the divorce. They talk to/see their mother from time to time and when they ask her why she's not home, she blows it off.
Any suggestions or advice?

This year my class is doing secret santa and I have to buy a present for my crush. I am so happy right now! What I need to know though is what should I buy him and what little can I do to make it special (like write "from your secret admirer" on the card or something)?

By the way we are both 14 and there is a $5 (aust. dollars) limit for the pressie, so just something cheap.

He's driving my daughter crazy.. She still breast feeds, and any time she leaves him in his room, he starts crying even though she's just in the other room. She can't even leave him alone while preparing his food. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey all. My 2 year old daughter absolutely WILL NOT EAT! She'll have like maybe a couple cheerios for breakfast and maybe a couple bites of toast (on a really really good day). She won't eat anything for lunch really, at the most 1 or 2 bites. For supper, she rarely touches her food. We have tried everything we can think of - holding her and trying to feed her when she refuses to eat, forcing her to sit at the table, giving time outs, taking away privileges - absolutely everything! I am so tired of the battle every day just to get a few bites of food in her! I am so frustrated! Please help! Thanks in advance and God bless!

My sister inlaw is pregnant with her second child. She's due late December. I'd like to get something for the baby. They don't know if they are having a boy or girl. She did save all the baby stuff from their first baby (girl). So I really don't know what they'd need or what would be a good and helpful gift other than a gift card. Which I would rather not do. I don't want to ask her what she'd like. And other than buying stuff directly off of a baby registry I'm clueless on what to buy. Especially for a second baby. Please give me some ideas.

Does anyone know where to buy an infant snow suit of coat of some kind. I just had a baby on sunday. She currently only weighs just under 5 1/2 lbs so to put her in a 0-3 month snowsuit is a joke. Her head doesnt fit comfortably in the neck portion and the hood is like 3 times bigger than her head so it does no good. I havent found anywhere that sells actual newborn or premie sizes in something like this and I in north dakota so it's already frostbite type weather. I have to take her to doctor's appointments and things at the least and I feel sorry just using lots of blankets and covering her carseat because I think it's probably still pretty cold. Any ideas would be great.

I'm 5'9 and 265 right now. I'm 10 weeks preggo and have already gained 5 lbs. I'm really worried about gaining too much weight. I'm not eating more than I did before I got pg but somehow I'm still gaining. I'm a big girl already and am scared half to death that I'm going to gain like 50 lbs and not be able to get rid of it after I have this baby. So I guess I'd like to hear from women that are in my shoes or who have already had babies. How much weight did you gain and was it easy to lose it??
