My 18 year old sister told me today she thinks she is pregnant and is thinking of getting an abortion. I don't agree with this but I don't know what to do, should I tell my mother? I offered to take care of the baby but she said she isn't ready to have a child.

This is my first pregnancy. I'm being induced around 38 week for medical reasons.

I wanted to do epidural(because I know inducing could make labor much longer and harder), but talking to my mom(who did natural with all 3 children) told me it only hurts until the baby is born.

I need some advice, I'm on a 50/50 now.
Mom's induced or not induced, did you get an epidural, or go natural? Stories if possible?

My daughter is 3 months old and my boyfriend just got back from the hospital after a month and a half. Ever since he got back, she's been a lot more upset and cries a lot more. When it was just the two of us, she never cried for more than 30 seconds unless she was hungry and she never cried until tears came. Now, she's not like that. Could it be the reintroduction of her dad? Is it her dad? Help me. I don't want to see my baby cry anymore.

I asked this question yesterday and people took it the wrong way. I'm gonna try to explain it better.
If you have an ugly child how would you feel? Would you feel responsisible for the way your child looks? Everytime someone mocks your child because of they way they look would you feel to blame? Would you force your child to get plastic surgery to fix their imperfection so they won't have to suffer with what you caused? What would you do if you have an unattractive child and you know they're misrable because of how they look. I know every parent thinks their child is beautiful in someway but what if you know that what you think is not true.
BTW- People made fun of my user name last night with this question. I'm not obese, it's an inside joke I have with my friends. According to many I'm attractive so don't make fun of me when u don't know me. I'm not a parent but I've always wonder about this question.
Please Don't be mean. If I marry an unattractive man will our kids suffer?

I am curious as to whether or not my boyfriend and I have to be married in order for my baby to have his last name? He is the father and will be signing the birth certificate, but since we are not married does that mean the baby has to take my last name? does it differ by state law?

getting pregnant. I do not want convoluted answers and judgmental answers. I just need to know the estimated number of days since the last day of her menstruation that it is ok to have sex again, albeit protected sex. Simple medically sound answers please.

its really scary, my little sisters, age 3, 6 and 8 watch television all day, thats like all they do. my 6 year old sister got picture books for christmas, an she promply threw them in the trash. they dont ask for bedtimes stories, they want to watch sprout, they dont read or look at books, or even play with their dolls. they've never played on their swingset, and theyve never made a snow man or jumped in a pile of leaves, or played tag. they dont play pretend, and ive never seen a sign of an imagination from any of them. i think this situation is so scary, but my mother is so busy, she jus lets the tv babysit them for 6 hours on up each day, in fact, i dont know that its ever off. what can i do bout this?

If your not married and you have a baby with a man who doesn't want to have anything to do with you but comes to your house everyday to see the baby. Who is rude and doesn't help with anything. Would you give the baby his last name or yours? What is the right thing to do?

My 5 Month old baby girl is on amoxacillan for a sore throat. She used to poop every other day but since shes been on it shes been going about 3 times a day. And its not normal looking like a mustardy colour with cottage cheese looking stuff in it. Is that normal? My doctors office is closed for another week and a half.

My Daugther is 4 weeks old.We have been trying to establish a bedtime routine with her for a week or so now. We start at around 6pm everynight.We start with a Warm bath(which she hates) then feed her then to bed.As soon as we turn the light off she starts crying.We try to leave her for a bit and go in every 10 mins to check her, but as soon as we go in she stops crying.We try to perserve every night but hate to hear her cry.Do you think that 4 weeks is too young?

Im 34 weeks pregnant, I was having really bad pressure in my pelvic area the other night and my fiance and I headed to the hospital to make sure it was nothing serious. Come to find out, I was in labor. My contractions were 2-4 minutes apart and her head was right there to where the doctor could feel it. For some reason the nurse took two fingers and pushed her head back up in my stomache. She didnt tell me what she did until after she did it. I was pretty pissed off at that point because I highly doubt they were supposed to do that. I was going to have that baby, she was ready to come out or else my cervix wouldnt have opened. So they stopped my labor and sent me home having mild contractions and told me to come back if they got worse. I went and got checked this morning and Im dilated a finger tip according to the doctor. She is ready to come out, so why prolong it?? I really think they have my due date messed up because they told me she was fully developed. what should I do??

She has teeth and she is going to be one in a month. I suggested to my girlfriend that maybe she should introduce solid foods to the baby now instead of mussy baby food.
She freaks out and tells me about how she can choke and blah blah blah, but she needs to understand that it's not like we should feed her hard to chew foods, I'm talking about soft fruit or maybe some biter biskits that she can suck on or maybe those gerber puffs. Something so she can get the hang of eating on her own and grabbing her own food.
What is some good advice to make her feel better? I want her to see these answers. Thank you.
