Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - December 2006

I'm 25, have been married for over a year (with my hubby for several years before that), and I've been bitten by the pregnancy bug. In college, I always said that I never wanted to have kids--not that I didn't like them, I just thought they weren't for me. But now, I feel like I'm ready.

I've told my husband what's been going on and he thinks we should wait a good 4 or 5 years. Financially, we're doing great, and we're about to buy our first home next year, so, of course, I think this is the right time.

What do you think? I know it has something to do with a shift in hormones. Has anyone else gone throught this? I'm currently on the pill and don't want to go off it until we're ready to conceive.

I'd love to hear your perspective.

Thanks!

When my fiance and I get married in Feb, he is gonna put his name on my sons birth certificate (which my sons biofather didnt do and probably for the best since he is now a crack head and a horrible person). At that time we are gonna change my sons name to his laat name. My question is, I (for reasons I havent figured out yet) gave him his biofathers name for his middle name. I was thinking of changing his middle name to James (which is my moms maiden name - she passed away 5 years ago). My son is 19 months old and wont know the difference but everthing (his baby book and memory box) have Caden Michael on it. Do you think I should just leave it as Michael or change it?

is a bum. He has been on and off in school trying to finish. He needs money, and I'm afraid we can't always give him money. Now, he is stealing from us. It's terrible. Stealing from my daughter and my husband and I. What should I do? He does not have his drivers license, and he will not go get it. He has been driving around without one! What should I do? This is so stressful.

A newborns biological father is a violent, racist, bigoted neo-nazi who spends his time going in and out of jail for a variety of crimes. He has threatened members of the mothers family to the point that they have a restraining order on him, and the mother isn't certain that he wouldn't harm or kill her. The mother and father broke up because the mother thought she was pregnant by another man.
Do you think it's ethically acceptable to lie to him about the paternity of the child, now that it is clear that he is indeed the father, in order to protect the child and the mother by keeping him out of their lives?

To me (i'm not sure if it's true but by what i've seen) SO many young people are having babies....personally i think a lot of them aren't ready because they haven't gotten out of there getting drunk every weekend stage. And there's so many single parent relationships these days (which isn't a bad thing, my parents divorced so my mother raised us)

Whats your opinion, and if you had a child young, did people talk down to you?? how old were you when you had your first child?

I'm kind of stuck here.... my last name is Bell and I can't really think of any boy names that would go. My husbands name is Dustin and Dustin goes with Bell pretty good- but I don't know if I want my son to be a Dustin Jr. So what do ya'll think would be a good name for my little boy? I kind of like the name Aiden... but my husband isn't to fond of it. Any suggestions would be awsome. Thanks!

I want a creative way to tell him that we're having a baby. Christmas is coming up so I it'll be the perfect gift. I want it to be a private moment, so nothing that involves onlookers. Any suggestions? Make it really cute, he has wanted a child for the longest.

My soon to be husband and I would like to have kids soon and I've thought about babysitting so I can stay at home with the baby. The problem with this is that I breed cats so I have about 10 cats at my house. Would the parents worry about all of the cats and not want me to babysit their child(ren)? I'm just curious of parents' views and opinions on this.

Thank You!

My boyfriend done his best to get me pregnant and then when I did he said "now that we know we can have children have an abortion" Obviously we have split up and I have decided it is best to go to family mediation if he want to see the child (he won't be paying toward the child he is too tight and has never offered any care towards me) He wants to be fully involved and thinks Im being unreasonable. He wants to come round to my house and turn up for parent evening (even though it is a private school and my family will be paying) He is just a chav, would should I do? I know big mistake getting involved at least I didnt marry him as he has nothing to offer me or the child except his selfish behaviour. He refuses to have supervised access and insists I put my baby in a pram into a taxi to his house (he has moved and won't tell me his address, but he will tell the taxi driver where to go) No way Im I doing that! He is 34 years old.

We have God parents for our daughter, all is set! But with the new baby we are having trouble! My husband has a brother (his family is much closer now after losing his other brother earlier this year) and his best friend (best man at our wedding) and we can not decide who to pick for the God father. We were wondering what people thought of having two God fathers instead of the traditional one God mother and one God father. I am not close to many other women anyways (besides the God mother to our oldest) so I don't mind. Has anyone heard of this, is it okay in people's eyes? I know it's basicly just a "title" these days, but it is important to us. Thanks in advance!!

How do you emotionally come to terms with losing your baby? I'm 37, thought I could never have kids, and am having a hard time dealing with it. I'm not married, but am very close to the guy who was the father. I need to keep my mind occupied, I think. Suggestions?
