What do you think about the baby girl's name Chitose
(chuh-toe-say)? (for first or middle)

If you just don't like the spelling, then spelling suggestions are welcome.

Hello, I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I haven't really gotten anything for the baby. All my friends and family are back in California so I won't be having a baby shower or anything and everytime I go to the store to buy stuff I feel overwhelmed. Like how many pajamas, burp clothes, blankets, sheets, socks, mittens, onesies, and other stuff will you need? Do you feel that a baby swing was a good purchase? Or was there anything you feel you couldn't have lived without? Thank you for your help in advance. :)

This is my first month taking temps and using opks. I had a temp drop sunday dec. 23, opk in the evening was neg on sunday. On monday Dec. 24th in the morning got postive opk and temp went up and has been rising ever since. I thought that when temp drops that means that you have ovulated already. Then why did i get a pos. opk on monday the whole day and tues also? Did i ovulate before i got my pos opk or after?Because of the temp drop before a pos. opk and 1st month doing this i dont know what to think. Anyone had this happen to them? What do you think?

Hi . I work as a sales rep in a computer company and i hate it so so much. I first accepted the job because i couldnt find anything else. Im not good at selling at all and the job is very frustrating to me. The pay and benefits are good, it's just im always streesed out and sometimes cant even sleep and I could possibly get fired because of my performance on the job. Im just not sure if quitting is the most responsible thing to do right now. In terms of insurance, I can get COBRA from the company while I can be added to my hubbys insurance. My plan is to basically quit and stay at home or find a temp job until the baby comes and then find something else. I know we can financially be ok for the next 3 months until the baby is born and I can get a higher paying job but one that I actually like. I just dont know if I can take staying in that company anymore. FYI: in my current job i dont qualify for FMLA, only for short term dis (6 months paid). But I could deal not having that. THANK YOU

My husband and I would like to celebrate the birth of our daughter with a few glasses of wine in the future. My question is how much milk do I need to pump for her? How long does alcohol stay in breast milk? What are your personal experiences? Thanks :)



Oh and please don't be rude or I'll report you for insulting me. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm 16 and I want to move out. I have a serious job and everything set up for my life. I dropped out of school 2 years ago so I could pursue my dreams and help out my family (and made it work) so I know about responsibility. I want to move across the country to LA for opportunities there. My Mom and Dad aren't sure about this, so I was just wondering what people thought. I don't really mind where I live at the moment, but I feel like I'm hanging around here, waiting to grow up.
What do you think? Am I too young? or, if not, how do i convince them?
Many Thanks
All and any suggestions very much appreciated

My little sister wants to go to her "ex-boyfriends" house with her friend hannah for new years. My parents said nothing yet. What should they say, yes she can go or no she can not?? They asked my opinion and i told them i am not the parent, they are so they need to make the choice

I am not saying that all the answers are negative about adoption, but I challenge you today to write one thing positively that has happened if you are adopted or have placed for adoption.

I will begin- I am so thankful that my birth mom loved me enough to place me for adoption- she did not have to do that- it is sacrificial love to be able to do that. Also I have 2 adopted children- and I praise God for the love of their birth moms. Being adopted for me is very special, I do not feel that I lost out on anything not knowing all about my birth family- however saying this I also respect my birth mom and ask God to bless her everyday of her life.

My 6 year old has been referred to see a mental health doctor to see if he has OCD. It's especially worse at meal times, he has to drink with a straw as he worries about getting germs from the cup, there are only one or twn types of cutlery he will use as he believes most of them have germs on them, his food can't be touching on the plate as this makes the food contaminate each other and he won't eat it, he also won't wear clothes that are red as he says they have germs on them, there are also other things. Am I over reacting taking him to the doctors, could it be a normal child phase or is it best to have it checked out. Anyone with similar exp would be great, thanks in advance, x

i have not heard from him at all, i think thats because there is a no contact order while he is incarcerated, and the phone calls are blocked. He gets released in 3 months and thats when I'm due. I'm pretty sure he wanted the baby, but i also know he's got to be PIST at me for pressing charges. He didn't fit the stalker profile, just the jealous abusive jackass profile, but factoring in his baby I'm not sure if he can let that one go

From the beginning of my pregnancy, I've just had this feeling that my baby was a boy. Every sign pointed to the baby being a boy, the doctor even thought the baby may have been a boy, but wasn't able to tell for sure because the baby is uncooperative during ultrasounds. However, a couple of days ago, it was confirmed that I'm having a girl.

Needless to say, I am disappointed, & I feel like I have to get to know my baby all over again. I feel guilty enough for feeling this way, because I know I'm very lucky that my baby is healthy, I'm lucky I can even have a baby. But now I have everyone in my family, including my fiance, acting like I'm going to be a bad parent to my child simply because of the way I feel now.

I love the baby with all my heart, but like I said, I almost feel like I don't even know the little person I've been carrying for almost 8 months. Has anyone ever felt this way? How did you cope? It's really getting to me.

I had my first baby at 35 weeks and thought for sure this one would come early too. I'm 38 wks today and confused as to when it's true labor. My contractions seem to be very strong and regular at night. It feels like I'm being squeezed around my back, ribs, and abdomen. It's hard to breath and they even wake me up. I went to the hospital when I thought they were about 5 minutes apart and was sent home. That was a week ago. I'm so miserable because I can't sleep and so uncomfortable. Any advise?
