I just went to the Dr. on Friday to get my blood sugar tested. I lost the sheet of paper that they gave me when scheduling this appt. a few weeks back stating what to eat prior to this appt. I remembered reading to eat a "Bland" diet. So, I had a Bagel w/cream cheese and a pint of milk for breakfast. (around 9a.m. my appt. was at 12:45p.m.) I went to the lab before my O.B. appt. and drank that sweet drink. Seen my O.B. Dr. after that, then had to go back to the lab and they drew my blood after 1 hour of drinking that drink. I got a call today saying that my sugar level was high and I have to go back for more testing. I am going to do that, but I just want to know if there is anyone out there that can give me some advice if they went through this too? I just need some comforting reassurance because I am a little scared. What exactly is "Gestational Diabetes" and how does it affect your baby? Please only answer if you have had or know someone who has had this.

my gf is on the pill, and currently its the time of the month where she gets her period and has to take just the sugar pills to keep her in the habit of taking the pill everyday. And i think she takes those for a week. But neways can she still get preg if we have sex during this time? Only in the shower obviously because having someone elses blood all over me expecially in an area where blood should NEVER be is sick.

My daughter got pregnant, by accident, way way too young. And then 2 days ago she miscarried. The miscarriage was either because she was too young to support a pregnancy, or because of her drug use. Either way, I am relieved but I would never tell her that. I feel the miscarriage is a second chance, for her to have the rest of her childhood brefore having to worry about raising a baby. She is devastated by it, and I'm sorry for the way she feels. The worst thing is now she wants to try again. I have made strict rules, that she must never become sexually active again until she finishes high school, which will be a long time from now. But I can't watch her every minute. Better would be if I can reason with her and make her understand why she should not want to have a baby this young.

No, I am not pregnant but I was just curious if breast feeding changes your boobs for the worst?

I get increasingly annoyed everytime I hear about someone wanting to lose weight immediately after giving birth. Does anyone else think that we should just enjoy being mothers and quit worrying about the post natal body shape- isn't looking after a baby more important?

Obviously, I am a young (20 year old) woman who is pregnant and is scared of the delivery. I have a disorder where I tend to pass out A LOT. Even with the poke of a needle, I am out on the floor. My doctor says that I'll be fine giving natural birth and he will only consider a C-section only if I can't deliver naturally, or otherwise, already passed out. My husband is extremly scared for me, and I want to reassure him that everything will be okay, but I don't know what to tell him. Can anyone give me some kind of reassurence that natural birth isn't all that bad?

Whenever the issue of abortion comes up everyone brings up the notion of rape/incest, mom's life being endangered, not being able to raise a kid. Why doesn't anyone bring up the notion of genetic disorders or birth defects?

I had a family friend who found out while she was pregnant that her daughter's stomach was where her heart was. Even though doctors told her the baby would have a slim to none chance of making it to her first birthday she had the baby anyway. The baby wen through major surgery every week of her life. she died just before surgery #40. Her parents are stuck with a $40 million medical bill after insurance.

You can give me your opinion of why or why not. I just want to know why no one ever brings that notion up?

I have no children right now, but am wondering if when I do have a baby if it will come out fat? Neither me or my fiance are fat or were fat when we were babies.....in fact, both of us were the same as children, and pratically weighed the same when we came out of our mothers.....how can I determin what my child will be like?

Once upon a time; not so very long ago, there was a town. In 1978; 913 people committed a MASS suicide in this town!
The town is remembered as Jonestown. Jim Jones established a "Cult" known as "The People's Temple".
I believe Scientology is a hanious and EVIL CULT much like the now defunked "People's Temple"! Established by long dead L. Ron Hubbard whose ultimate demise was "cirrhosis"!
My hypothesis is that Katie Holmes has been psychologically kidnapped, and indoctrinated by the CULT of SCIENTOLOGY!
I believe she needs to be "rescued" from Tom Cruise along with their baby! Taken into the protective custody of her parents until she Katie can be deprogrammed! Please pray for her and the baby they really need help!

Where I am from, there is a high influx of young girls that are single parents and the fathers are absent from thier lives.

What are ways I can help these young moms, they do get a lot of jugdement very few breaks in life and not a lot of love.

I admit I was bitter b/c they had the babies I was unable to have, and God is dealing with my heart condition, but me being bitter is not going to help my situaion or these young girls either.

What are postive ways to bless and minister to the single parents in my church, in my family and in my community?

I've been off of birth control pills for 19 months now with no form of contraception. Though we're not trying to have a baby, I am incredibly clucky and would love to have one. I'm freshly graduated from my technical program and do not yet have a job in my field. I've been a townie all my life and want to move but feel that having a baby would make me stay a townie forever. Should I pursue my career and go back on body wrecking birth control pills, give up all hope of leaving this town and have a baby, or keep on doing nothing about it at all?

Now I have had three children, and every doctor told me that there are 10 months in a pregnancy. So why to this day people always say that there are 9 months when that is not true?

I have had alot of responses that alarm me!! How can a toddler comprehend what respect is, I feel that it starts as fear and progresses to respect. I am a better person than most and I was spanked I am not violent and I have a great deal of respect for any elder. I have a 15 month old and spanking will be PART of her discipline. please email me I would love to support my opinion but running out of questions for today. crenshaws_apache@yahoo.com
