My husband and I are in our mid 20s with steady careers and we own a home. We would like to have a child, but we're not sure when it would be a good time. We keep saying that we will have a child after we pay off our debt (credit card and car loan), but everyone says that you'll never really be ready...and that you just need to do it. I don't want to miss out on having a family for the next 3 years while we pay off debt, but I don't want to be irresponsible either. And as a side note, I am VERY afraid of pregnancy and childbirth, so this absolutely terrifies me, but it's very important to both of us to do this.

I took a pregnancy test the day after my period was late and several since then all came back positive but I am going on my eighth week and I still have no signs that I am pregnant. Is something wrong, has this happened to anyone else, will my baby still be healthy?

Thanks ahead of time for any answers-

We are having our first son in Jan. and are having some problems coming up with the perfect name. we have it narrowed down to like 5 or something. first there is Rylan Michael, i don't know, i like it because it is different, but it might be to girly. Then we have Karsten Michael, Wyatt Michael, Eastyn Micheal and Hayden Michael. as you can see we have the middle name, it is just the first name that we can not figure out. Please let me know what everyone thinks and maybe we will name him the one with themost votes. Thanks for your help!

Our daughter is currently three months old and we would like to plan a fun family vacation for next summer when she will be just shy of one year old. I haven't been anywhere tropical in years and would love to go somewhere that welcomes toddlers. Has anyone been to a U.S. based vacation spot (Virgin Islands included!) that might work? Any advice on hotels that you've had a good experience with would also be welcomed!

After my last baby my ob put me on the Depo shot. I loved it! No menstrual cycle, no hassle, no missing pills.... However, after about 2 years, my family doctor would not administer the shot to any more of her patients due to the studies on permanent bone loss caused by it. I was disappointed because it was my preferred method of birth control. Has the information changed in regards to the danger of bone loss? If not, what are some alternative methods?

i'll try not to be long...
i started back on the pill after i had my son. i was breastfeeding for a while, but i have since stopped to go back to work.
i didn't get my period during the placebo week, last week. i don't think i'm pregnant, but i AM wondering if your periods were out of sync after you had your baby.

thanks!

I have two girls (twins). They just graduated from high school last year and moved out on their own. 3 months ago they both came to me and said they were pregnant by the same African American man. What is the next step. Should I go straight to Jerry Springer.

They are having a huggies drive at my local library. I found the whole thing really depressing. People used to have to have children in the agrarian age for farming, but not now. I was severly abused as a kid at am very sensitive about this issue. I greive for these children more than I reflect on my own suffering. Thanks

I am really strongly prolife. My friend told me the truth about her getting an abortion a while ago and she doesnt regret it. Ive always wanted a prolife sticker on my car, would that be wrong? one of those "stop abortion" ribbons, like the "support our troops" ones. do you think that would offend her bad? Its my opinion, and my truck, but shes also my friend. help!

I just asked a question about the effects of caffiene and not taking folic acid when I become prego. I know that both of those things effect the neurological developement of the fetus. I am scared and I really was hoping that I wasn't prego now. I mean over the last 3 weeks I took 2 tests and were negative...until now. I haven't told my husband yet, hence the spastic "caffiene similating" rush of writing. I don't want to be pregnant. I was just getting back into my size 4s and I like being thin again. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old...add another, can you say chaos?
Also, I know that it's not good to nurse a baby more than 3 months prego. But I always nurse my babies for one year. What to do? Risks?
Also, I want to have fun for once. You know I went cliff diving when I was 3 months prego with my 3rd child. He is so beautiful and intellegent. Maybe snowboarding won't hurt?
Does anyone know the actual science and risk behind absense of folic acid and caffiene intake while prego?

Yesterday I was over my girlfriends house and I wanted to watch the Giants game. Shes somehwat a closest eagles fan and as the game was heating up I said how much do you want to bet the giants win? She said I don't want to bet money, how about we bet that if the Giants lose than I control you for a day and if they win than you can control me. Sounded like an interesting bet to say the least. So I went along with it and shook on it. Giants ended up losing in the final minutes if you don't already know. Now that leads me to the question.

She wants me to dress like a girl for a day. Stating I need to know what it feels like for her everyday and she will decide the rest after that. Catch is she wants me to buy the stuff myself and wants you to pick what I do wear. She said she will pick the answer she likes best. Links would be a big help. Whoever has the most details will end up getting picked.

Please be nice and don't go too crazy for your 10 points. I beg you..

I took a prego test last 2 weeks ago when I missed my period and it was negative. I took another later when I didn't get my period again...all negative. Since I am still nursing my 10 month old my periods are irritatlingly 41 days apart. So I have to wait FOREVER to check it. My husband and I want more kids but we were being careful, and we were timing everything...so we thought.
Lately I have been craving caffiene and candy and all sorts of junk. Since I thought I wasn't prego and my son eats solid foods along with nursing...I thought we were ok. I knew in the back of my mind that I should start taking my multi-vitamin again. But I ignored it. AND I have been feeling skinny and in shape??? WHAT...? my husband said "your stomach is looking flat" Is this a joke?
Anyway, my question is have a totally messed my baby up by eating junk in the begining stages? Can I make up for it? How? Should I not go snowboarding this weekend? What specific effect does caffiene and junk have on him?
