I don't want her to get sick or be uncomfortable or anything but I miss taking her for walks around our neighborhood. What do you think?

I know that I have a history of low progesterone. Well, I am currently about 4 weeks pregnant...I tried to get in ASAP, but was not able to. This morning I started to spot a very tiny bit. Last Saturday I did get some pretty bad lower back pain (it was directly over my butt), but then that stopped. I just felt my cervix and I could put the very tip of my finger in it (at least that is what it felt like). And I have been having lower pain like right between my legs..

So, my question is, when is it too late in a pregnancy to start progesterone, where the progesterone won't help any longer?

Livia Isabelle (first & middle - not a 2-name name)

I don't like "Olivia" just because it reminds me of olives or something, but I think Livia is so cute and maybe Liv or Livi for short and Isabelle was my grandmothers name.

we were ttc our 2d baby for almost 13 months..
We tried everything in the book,bbt,opk,bd every 2nd/3rd day and month after month BFN...
This weekend passed i got my BFP and just wanted to share with you all what we did different....
on calendar day 10 i noticed i was very wet down there,so we had sex every day from then on till calendar day 17 i knew to stop then as my cervix had dropped...
I know alot of people say having sex every day will hurt your chances but we got pregnant 4 years ago doing this same thing after 7 mohths of trying every thing else.
Im not saying it will work but just that it might be worth a shot,
its worked for us twice...
good luck

I'm 14 and I've always been happy with my weight. My friends all think I have a flat stomach and my parents know that the people I travel with all eat loads of sweets etc. But they've told me to let them see me weigh myself and tehy want to keep a record of how much I lose, if I don't cooperate they won't give me christmas presents. They've really knocked my confidence and made me feel bad about how I look. I've tried to lose weight and I walk 2miles every day but it hasn't worked and tehy've only given it about 3weeks. I've done some tests on the internet and found that I have heavier bones but my parents aren't satified.
So far I've not cooperated as they are lowering my self esteem but I'm not sure where to go-any advice? I am trying but I don't want them to be actually watching me weigh myself. and to go runing with my dad etc.

okay so im a 13 year old. ive always been "book smart" with striaght As and high honor roll and all that jazz. ive also always been very very very "street smart" being that i lived in camden NJ then moved to newark NJ. My mom says street smart will get you far in life but brians are good to.

i also love helping people [mostly my friends] with advice.i am the advice colum in my school paper. also i have an advice website. when ever my friends have problems they always come to me for help.

today somebody said i am very "wise". how is this different from "smart"?
would you rather be "wise" or "smart"

Did anyone take lactaction classes before giving birth? My hospital said that they give one on one sessions while I am in the hospital after giving birth but I would kind of like to geta ump on it just to be educated. I am going to ask my doctor what she thinks on Thursday but just wanted to get your opinions. I have heard that breastfeeding can be challenging in the beginning so I am trying my best to be well-informed and prepared. There are so many advantages to breastfeeding. Any input is appreciated!

We got my 3 y.o. a really cute toddler bed with Dora bedding a week ago. She likes it, but she won't sleep on it. She sleeps on the floor, on a sleeping bag. That wouldn't bother me, but she wakes up in the middle of night a lot with some kind of bad dreams. So I'm thinking, should I just take the sleeping bag away, is she going to get too used to the floor? Or should I just give her more time and then take it away?

She is always saying she wants to marry someone (RJ from Over The Hedge (hes a raccoon), Peter Pan, others) and says "When I get married can I kiss him" or she'll say she talks to RJ/Peter Pan on the phone, hes coming over, hes her husband etc. Does your child do this? She does not see me and my husband kiss passionately - just a pop kiss when he leaves/comes home... she doesn't watch anything but cartoons/kids shows... I am just wondering if this curiosity is her age? I didn't think she would act this boy crazy at her age! Thanks to answers.

BTW she will be 4 in January.

I went with an adult friend to get them.. and i haven't told her because i felt awkward.
I felt like if i asked her it was like saying " So mother, am i able to have sex now?' ... And it wasnt just the case.. fyi
i use all the procautions, protective etc.Anyways i just also like knowing when my time of the month is coming etc.

I have been on it for almost 4 months now,
Should i keep going on not telling her i take them?? Is it really better that way? I dont want to hurt her feelings.. i didnt go to her first, Also shes a christan.. YET i was born before she got married.

I've always been determined to someday adopt a child. It seemed natural to me to open my home and my heart to a child who for whatever reason had lost his/hers. I know it's not like in the movies. I know being put up for adoption is not ideal and there's confusion and hurt.
But I've been reading around and the majority of stuff I've read is from adoptee whining that "oh gosh, we didn't want to be adopted! I would have been happier with my birth family". Now, I grant you that it would be perfect if every child could stay with their family. But most of these testimonials I've read, these adoptees had decent adoptive families. Granted, it wasn't ideal, but how much better would it really have been with the birth-mother? I'm not talking abuse. I'm just saying, no one is perfect? I'm not saying "be grateful" either because no one should have to feel grateful for having parents. It's a natural thing.

I have two week old triplet boys. Right now they are sharing a crib because they seem to only really cry when they are apart. Whenever one or two are taken away from the other one(s), they cry. I feel bad because I don't know if this is just separation anxiety or something else.

I also have three year old twins (yes multiples run in my wife's family...no fertility drugs) and when they were babies they never did this.

Any suggestions.

Also.. I am on my wife's account.

do you think abortion is a convenient and positive life altering medical procedure for the mother?

do you think there should be mandatory grief counselling for both mother and father?
