I can honestly say the very thought of it makes me cringe - I am thinking fo going to Portland Hospital for a elected caeserian instead - BUT - that tiny tiny voice in my head says, it might not be THAT bad. Everyone has different pain thresholds, I know that, but what is the general consensus?

This is one of my top reasons for why i don't wish to have my own child.
We all know the world is such a hard place, so why do it?
My mental life has been hard for me. since i wasn't raised in poverty..everyone from a 3rd world country will laugh at me, saying i know nothing of a hard life. But i speak of mental/emotional challenges too. I know my life isn't that hard at all. it's a luxury to some of course.
Whenever i see a newborn i may feel sorry for it. I know that newborn will have a harder time in that new society to come than i have had. Don't you think they'll experience probably worse physical or emotional problems in their life than you will? And yes, that is part of life, so then why procreate at all? All i'd want to do is love that child, but i guess i mean love without the real world discipline..which they say isn't love. I want to see my offspring never suffer, never frustrate, never contemplate suicide, never be lonely. (yes i know i'm idealistic)

I don't like Condoms and she does like pills. What are the other alternatives other than those requiring surgery?

I met him at a party and I got drunk and passed out. I woke up the next morning in his bed with no pants on. I had a boyfriend at the time and was outraged that the guy took advantage of me. I don't want him apart of the baby's life but I'm afraid that he might hurt me. Even though I don't remember saying yes to sex with him, I think it might be too late to press charges. What can I do to make him leave me alone? Furthermore, I don't know how to tell my boyfriend the baby's not his. I don't think he will believe that the sex was non-consentual.

My wife has a year supply of pills, she plans to stop taking them soon so she can get pregnant.

She will have several packs left that will expire before she can use them. I think they expire within a year from now.

What does she do with them? Does she just throw them out?

Okay. This is the deal. My brother dates this girl last summer. She's sweet, but now she is going after him for full custody and support. He has been neligience in the entire situation and wanted her to have an abortion or give the child up for adoption. He claims this has destoryed our family. We're Jewish. I think he is just too immature and irresponsible. I wish the best for the child and her mother. He isn't financially, emotionally, or mentally capable of raising a child and I'm afraid she is gonna take him for all he got. We're in California. Is there anyway he can get out of not paying cs? He is trying to make her look bad in court and bringing up evidence that she is harassing him. What will happen?

You attack formula feeders and claim to give your baby the best, but from the questions you answered, it appears that you smoked while you were a lactacting mommy. So, here's my question...is that the best parenting you can do?
Don't give me the crap that smoking and breastfeeding is better than smoking and formula feeding. If you truly cared for your child, you would not smoke at all.

I am five months pregnant, and about to findout the gender of my baby this week. My x-boyfriend, who left me about a month ago, with an apartment we just got together an the baby, claims he doesnt love me no more, and never called once or anything. He even broke up with me over the phone. We did this pregnancy on purpose, it was planned...and now he turned his back. I am trying to get through it, and i have him now telling people it is not his kid, after he had told me that he would pay child support, and i could get full custody because it would "be too hard for him". I dont know how this will go over legally, but it is his child, i never even looked at another guy, let alone slept with one. So when the DNA comes back, what could happen? Can he get rights? Even after leaving me and saying these horrible things? is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening? I am so scared righ tnow I dont even know what to do or say...I never knew this would hurt this incredibly bad.

Teach them to be indepenedant by putting there stuff away, clean up there messes ect. or would you do everyhting for them so you can be there slave? I would let them be independant cause I was taught by my parents if it's your mess you clean it up, if it's your stuff you put it away, ect. I will not be a slave for my children yes I will do things for them but I do not want then to think that there are helpless and can not do anythign for themselves. It's not right you should teach your kids to be independant now who agrees with me on this yes or no and why?

Month One

Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favorite lullaby.







Month Two

Mommy
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.









Month Three

You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.







Month Four

Mommy
my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.







Month Five

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?







Month Six


I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!







Month Seven


Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me Mommy?






Every Abortion Is Just . . .





One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.
