I am thinking about getting and IUD i have been on depo provera for a while but it has caused me to gain about 15lbs i get severe headaches and am always tired i went to the doctors yesterday and told her about my symptoms and she told me that i would have to stop taking the depo and find another form of bc that would work for me the pill does not work for me that is how i ended up having my son so i guess that i just want to hear from women that have had IUDs in the past i just want to know everything did you have any complications, side effects, did you like it just anything that you can think of would be nice

Granted, there is a difference between punishment and abuse but in this day and age should spanking be continued? Thanks

It is really weird. I am on the pill, and my period has been very strange. I started it on Sunday for all of 3 hours and now it has completely stopped, any suggestions why this is? I don't think I am pregnant but it is a very slim possibility, because I am on the pill and we didn't get to the best part if you know what I mean? I am not stressed, actually I would say I was quite happy. Do people usually miss periods on the pill? I just need to know what is going on. I have been on the same pill for 4 years and I have never had a problem like this before (I am 19 years old) c x

I'd like to take a short weekend break away with my husband but what age do you think I can leave my daughter. I'm not going to say what age she is (although she is over 6 months) as I'd like genuine responses especially from people who've done this. She knows my parents well and tends to see them at least once a week. Mum often has her for several hours.

Does anyone know where you can buy a device that goes over the fastening part of a child car seat? I have a very quick daughter and it is only a matter of time before she works out how to open it.

I had been on birth control pills for about 10 months. I began having irregular periods (come to find out due to ovarian cysts) and stopped taking them. I figured if they're irregular on the pills, then I should stop taking them until I get checked out. It just so happens about a week after I stopped taking them it would be my time to ovulate. I didn't know that until AFTER my mate and I had unprotected sex. What would be the possibily that I am pregnant? I have to wait another week to find out the old fashioned way.

I am opening a childrens boutique within the next year. The space I will be renting has a conference room that I considered using for mommy and me classes, as there are none in the area. My question is, If a local childrens boutique in your neighborhood hosted a free mommy and me hour... with distinct age groups... would you actually attend with your children? Im asking this because I dont want to invest in transforming the room (putting in couches... safe play area for children... purchasing toys and such...) if people wouldnt take advantage of it. Thanks for your input!

Car seat issue!?
OK I am a mom of 3 with a new baby due in April 07 in all there will be 6 of us! in my car.
now seating in my car is not the issue it seats 8!
the issue is two of the seats are rear faceing and only 4 of them have sholder straps!
when the baby comes I know it will need to go in the middle of the back seat in a rear facing set (been there with the other three)
My issue is where can I put every one else!
my children will be 6y 5y and 4y when this new baby is born!
any one know the laws (I'm in Virginia) on where and how a child needs to sit in the seats? (are my two rear lab belt only seats as good as not there?)
right now my youngest (3) is in a 5 point in the middle of the back seat and the (4) and (5) year olds are in backless boosters on either side of him. (the boosters must be used with sholderstrap seat belts.)
oh and the passenger side air bag has been disabled! (the former owner had lots of kids)
(the third row seats are rear facing with lapbelts!

friend of mine has a 5 wk old baby a 9 yr old son and is a single mom. she doesn't have any help with the baby and is up with the baby all the time who seems to cry nonstop. she is in therapy but she's scared to tell the psych just how bad she feels for fear she might get her kids taken away. she told me she wouldn't do anything to hurt her kids, but that she feels like she's gonna snap. she cries a lot and cussed at her 9 yr old the other day and threw the phone when he didn't do what she was asking. then she ran in the room and screamed in the pillows and started crying. should she tell her therapist? can she lose her kids if she tells her therapist she feels like she's depressed, stressed, and "on the edge".

I recently took out a protective order against my husband. However, I'm due to go into labor with our daughter any day. I have no fear of him harming me or the baby while we are in the hospital. Should I call him when I go into labor? Or after I have the baby? Or should I just send him a birth announcement along with everyone else?
