Being pregnant, I would suggest a couple movies not to watch, just crazy watching these movies, you may understand why....
1. Dawn of the Dead---Crazy looking kid coming out... He** NO!!!
2. Butterfly Effect---Thoughts of baby doing that inside you...

Now it is you turn... What movies would YOU not suggest that a pregnant woman watch and why...????

----And the first doesn't really affect me too much, but the second freaked me out now that I am preg... ----

What I have so far:
Get the wiggles out:
Take, as needed, breaks of at least 20 min. outside. even if its just a walk to a corner or around the block, mail box

Give them a break:
Turn off tv when nothing worth watching is on or video game when they're getting frustrated (my children sometimes protest this but the next thing i know they're finally playing with their toys) they'll use their imagination to have adveture or make up songs. ahhh...(my favorite)

Have easy snacks ready:
Like fresh fruit, canned fruit, cold cuts, cheese, crackers, pudding, juice Popsicles

Satisfy Hunger for knowledge:
Have a book shelf with childrens books near by for reading breaks

Be close by:
Move computer neer a door or glass door even window. If you have a large home set up a video monitor

Want to help:
Bring mom phone, piece of paper share somthing you come across (need a lot of help with this one)

Them First:
Perhaps some music for mom to moving again

After giving birth, and sometimes the doctors take blood, is it normal to have a knot in your arm at the spot where they took the blood? Is it also normal for that to be putting a bruise on your arm and the same place?

I was told that when a pregnant woman is angry or sad the baby can pick up on these systoms. it causes premature birth and sometimes children are born angry. so my concern is when we have sex does the sensations go to the babys brain via the blood stream. just wondering

I kinda have a weird situation. My husband has a cold sore right now on his lip, I have never had cold sores at all in my life either! But anyways... I woke up this morning with a red rash looking thing on the areas that he kissed that night. It started off on my neck area ( a bunch of red bumps ) then like a couple hours later my chin and lips broke out... Its like where ever he touched I have this awful looking rash thing. I have two blisters on my lip that hurt, and I know these arnt pimples at all. Does this sound like it can happen? This can spread to other parts of the body... its just weird its in the spots that he kissed, and no where else? Please help me out here.
Oh btw, thats the only places I have them. Im not worried about anywhere else... like gential herpes or something. I just have had these on my neck and face for like a day now.

My 7 year old daughter was playing at a friends house, when thier 6 year old son opened the back door and their pit bull wiggled into the house and for no reason attacked my daughter! She has a horrible puncture wound on her leg and some cuts and bruises on her leg, hip and shoulder. That dog could have killed her! The owner had to pull the dog off of her! I am posting this in parenting because in the dog section everyone is against banning pit bulls. I would like to know what parents think. This is a family of mexicans (which I have no problem with) but when this happened, the adults jumped in their cars and left! The next day we heard them gossiping about it and they said that my daughter is a brat anyway....how should I deal with that?

My husband is studying for a test. Really he is NOT studying--he's procrastinating but every time he comes near me he wants me to ask him quiz him on information he doesn't even understand. So I sit there for about ten minutes asking questions then get frustrated. Is it wrong of me to not want to help him study? We have two boys (one of which is in school with FAS) and I feel like I'm constantly quizzing someone, making a PB&J, cleaning a diaper, or giving baths. It's not that I don't want to help him but I want him to help himself before he needs me. I don't know how to get the point across that it's not that I don't want to help him but that I have better things that need to get done. Does this make any sense? If you were in the situation what would you do?

I know that this isn't going to give exacts and I shouldn't expect anything special.. but it is fun to ask anyways because I have heard so many different statements all ready...

Which one is more difficult to raise...?? Boy or girl... Please specify reasons.... and dont only think of when they are older... think all the way throughout... infant, toddler, etc.

This sounds a really dumb question but I always thought that there are 14oz to a pound. However, last week I was reading the birth announcement section in my local paper and one baby weighed 9lb16oz!!

We are both against abortion or atleast i thought i was before this happened. I feel like such a horrible person because i don't feel anything for this child that is mine and it is supposed to be the happiest moment of my life! We have discussed it over and over and there is no way she is going to abort. I understand her side but, the thing i can't stop thinking about is the fact that i feel nothing and because of our situation i will resent her and this child for ruining my life. WOW that sounds really selfish, i know, but, the thing is i want to be financially ready and mentally willing to have a nchild and that time is NOT now. What choice do i have?

I went off the pill during the month of september because i though i was preganat, i retook it on 24/09 till 14/10... 21 pills, got my period on 17/10... but this time the period was very light as in no need for a pad, i took a pregnancy test two days after the period it came out negative.... then i had a big clot/tissue of blood when i was peeing the third day and that was the end of the period, i saw only light smears after that.

I am back on the pill after the 7 days cut-off and i have no symptoms of pregnancy... what do you think, could it be implementation bleeding or just a normal light period because i got off the pill and on it again?

I've been on many sites and it seems that I got all the signs. I had some lower ab cramps (now gone), neasua, moody, need the washroom more, hungry more, dizzy, morning sickness (more in the evening). The works!
The thing is, I'm not 100% sure. Do I feel like I am? Yea I do. My last period was rather weak. I'm gonna take a test but was wondering what my chances are. My partner and I have intercourse everyday. I don't use the pill and we don't use anything else to protect ourselfs. Could this be all in my head, or could I be pregnant?

to keep the human race going so why time upon time, do people make mothers feel bad for taking maternity pay, needing time of work for childrens illnesses etc....

And as for people 'sponging of the state', the 'state' needs to support families or people would stop having kids!

Thats my rant over...!

Also before you judge my position I am a happily married mother, worker and home owner reciving no state benifits! Thats becasue I've been lucky - others aren't.

I had unprotected sex a day or so before i started ovulating. he came in me. a few days later i started getting cramps similar to mentral cramps but they were different. they lasted until i started my period which came early, was lighter than normal and shorter also. could these be signs that i'm pregnant?

Why does it cost so much to adopt a child, I don't understand, if you have a stable job, and a loving home, why can't the system work with you? I am 34 and can't have children, but they want so much up front, yet there are children everyday, getting abused, molested, and just more or less thrown away, I know I would make a good mommy. Does anyone know any sites I can go to for more information on adopting a child, without having to have soo much up front? You would think providing a loving and stable home would account for something. Yet, also I have never been married, I don't see why that would make a difference, I don't depend on a man to support me.

Lately my body has been acting pretty weird, and at first I ruled out pregnancy, but now I am not sure. I had sex (protected) Sept 22, about 5 days later I had a very light period that lasted 4 days (they usually last 7). I had another period Oct 13th and it lasted 4 days also. Now I am currently spotting (light pinkish color) and it is not enough to wear a pad. I've had some bad headaches and some nausea, but I really didn't think anything of it. I really don't think I am pregnant, but I am sure because I've had sex there is a slight chance. I am going to the doctor tomorrow, to see what is wrong with me.
