Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 December 2007

I'm not pregnant, but my friend Avery Jane's parents are. It's a boy, and they're considering the name Addison James.

Addison means "son of Adam" and I think it's really cute because Avery's dad's name is Adam.

The other name they were considering was Madison James. Madison means "Son of Maud" and it really fits since Avery's mom's name is Maud.

I've always hated the names Madison and Addison for girls because they sound of masculine, and the meaning of those names just says it all. I prefer Addison James and I think it goes really well with Avery Jane.

So, WDYT?

I stopped breastfeeding five months ago, but I still have a tiny bit that comes out when I squeeze the nipple (like a drop). In the event of the apocalypse and formula is no longer available, what are my chances of getting myself to lactate again if I'm not dead?

My six-year-old son has become increasingly defiant lately. He just doesn't care when something is against the rules. He touches everything everywhere we go. Just yesterday I caught him playing with the stove (lighting incense), moving chairs to then climb on them and hang tape from the ceiling (to swing on, of course!) and running out into a parking lot. He threw his kitten through the air, he annoyed his eight-year-old sister tremendously, and he's driving me batty. He's gotten into trouble at every school he's attended and at this point he's in a public homeschooling program (meaning they give me the books and wish me luck) because nobody wants him in their classroom.

On the other hand, he is visually impaired and has had some rough stuff happen, like having his dad suddenly come back in his life, a period of a few months where we lived in crummy motels, etc. He can get very depressed when corrected, so coal might be damaging. I'm just out of options.

Hi all, 40 weeks + 2 days and since this morning been having increasingly bad period like pains every 15-30 minutes. The last one was the worse yet but I don't know if this is labour as I've read that labour contractions are so bad you cannot even speak. I have always had bad periods due to endometreosis so have high pain threshhold. Everything I've read is so vague about what contractions actually involve. Thanks for taking time to read x

My friend told me to ask this.
She is 20 years old and she and her boyfriend (also 20 years old) had unprotected sex a couple of days ago(Thursday, I think). She didnt really want to do it, but he forced her (not like abusively, but she didnt want to do it) Well anyway, she does not know if he ejaculated (is there anyway to tell) and she is really nervous about gettin pregnant/catching something. Is there anything I can tell her?? She says her last period was around Dec. 7-12.

Are parents today not playing their role as a true father and mother in raising, upbringing, and disciplining their children? Some say that parenting today has lost it's sense of meaning, that parents would rather be "friends" with their children instead of parents, fearing that their children will not return any love to them if they punish or discipline their children.

And people wonder what is wrong with teenagers today wanting to look and act like adults(having babies and such)! Why is it soo wrong for a child to believe in Santa or any other "fanstasy" character out there? Who is it hurting that they find out on their own that there is no such thing as these characters?? They will one day find out that these things are not real, but in the meantime..what's wrong with believing? Did your parents tell you when you were 10 and under that there was no such thing and any of the "fanstasy" characters?? And if you believe longer than that, who is it really hurting??? Why is it wrong for kids to keep their innocents? People need to make up their minds! Can you answer this? I for one would like for my daughter to believe as long as she can. If she finds out one day..okay..she finds out. Nothing wrong with that.(And she will find out one day). What is wrong with a child being innocent and naive about the harsh reality of life for just a little while?

Does it seem like there are more people getting pregnant with girls than with boys?... I just keep seeing a lot of women on here going "IT'S A GIRL", and I'm really happy for them, but I don't see as many "IT'S A BOY"'s.....?

I have had some MINOR spotting 2 days out of the past 6.

I woke up yesterday morning, thinkin i had my period. Because it felt like i did, went to the bathroom. Nothing.. then the cramps went away..

Same thing happened this morning...
Now they are completely gone..

And i know TMI but ive got diharea (sp).

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and was curious what effect the full moon has on labor? Tonight is a full moon, Dec. 23rd. Yesterday I started having braxton hicks-and diarrea. Two days ago I started retaining fluid in my feet and ankles. They look like elephant feet. haha! Today was the first day that I have not wanted to take a nap...I'm not tired. I am actually up and about,,,and fixing to beat the crowds at Wal-Mart! and then come home and finish up on last minute things. Not saying I'm going into labor,,,but just was curious what your opinions were the full moon and labor? Thanks a bunch!
