I had my second daughter just over five months ago during a regular delivery. I have recovered okay, except my stomach feels quite tender at times. It feels as if things didn't go back to how they were supposed to inside of me, sometimes it feels as if everything is going to come out (uterus, etc). I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this with my first, is this normal for women who have had more than one baby? I have mentioned it to my doctor, who tested or infections (which I don't have), and am seeing her again soon.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Baby due in September, like the name Jaiden for a boy but hubby thinks it sounds more like a girls name. What do you think? Dont know sex of baby but other possibilities are Boy - Kai, Kieron, Kaiden, Aaron, Ryan or Jamie. Girl - Sophie, Lauren, Jaime, Josephine (Josie) or Kayla. Got a little boy called Joshua and our surname is Hurley. Want something not too common but not wierd so it gets picked on at school. Any other suggestions welcome.

I was doing one of my many stores I have for my advertising and marketing job. The week just began for my company and I was about to do my first store. You can read more on my blog, just click the link on my pro. Anyway, this much bigger man became very impatient with the pharmacist and attempted to shove the customer he was talking to out of the way. The woman there with her child did not back down and ended up getting battered. My question is, if one is so impatient, why attack another person? Especially when they have a child with them? Why would a man who is bigger than many and definately stronger batter her, a stranger, in public in front of her child? What is going through the mind of somebody like that? Don't they know God?

has anyone used a surrogate mother as a means to have a child? costs? problems that you may have faced? what are their rights after the child is born? how can you find one? is it better to have someone that I know vs a stranger?

The hardest thing to do besides reading these posts, is understanding how some people can assume certain things. So it's best to believe that because I am 19, I am doing this because I want to "go clubbing" or back to my promiscuous and responsibility-free life, even though we are free to make our own conclusions. Thoughts like those are reasons we as people are full of hatred in our hearts.

Even though I can't provide the motherly love to my daughter, I do not think of her as a mistake nor do I regret having her. She is beautiful and her smile can light up anyones day. The only problem is, it's never lit mine. It crushed me to know that I couldn't love my daughter the way I could. I tried and I tried, making sure my main focus was her; taking care of her, feeding her, trying to build the bond, that just seemed to keep breaking. It just never worked, and not only did it hurt, I felt like a failure.

(Our dads are 1/2 brothers) My cousin gave birth to twins 4 years ago. I have had permenant custody of them for the last 2 1/2 years and off and on before that. I also have custody of their little sister who I've had her whole life. These chidlren were placed in my care by Child Protective Services. Even though I have permenant custody, the state gave her visitation rights. The court order reads that she is to be supervised by her mother during the visits, and her boyfriend that abused the children is not allowed to be around them. The very first visit after we got the court order, I found out that she left the kids alone with the guy they are not supposed to be around, her mother doesnt supervise them and when the kids came home one of them had a knot on his forhead. I refuse to send them back, if she wants to see them she has to come to my home. I will not let her take them over night. Am I doing the right thing?

I'm going to have a drug free childbirth, but once our baby girl is born I'm going to have some type of pain medication. What kind of pain medication did you have and would you recommend it?
With my first child they gave me demerol, and I was really out of it :(

Also, how many kids are you home with and how long have you been home with them? Do you incorporate some form of money-making into your schedule (like home biz or computer work from home)?

I've been home w/ my baby for 8 months and I love being w/ him but hate feeling so left out of the "real world" and esp. hate the way I feel people look down on me for "doing nothing" all day. (Their perception, nowhere near reality!!!)

Just wondering how others do it and how they feel about it.

I'm not even pregnant yet, just doing some family planning. With my first baby I barely made it to the hospital in time and I wouldn't have gotten there at all if my husband hadn't dragged me out of the shower and put me in the car. I would love to have a home birth the next time around. He's active duty army and we have tricare prime. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will tricare pay for a midwife, as well as midwife assistant, sterile tools, etc? We will be moving to Alabama by that time if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help!!

i am not in a very happy relationship, but i would like a another child so that may son will have a brother or sister. I know if i left my partner i could have another child eventually with someone else, But then there would be a hugh age gap, which i didn't really want.( my son is 3.5 now) I do know that there is nothing wrong with only children.

I had a doctors appointment the other day to talk about birth control just for a short while and I spoke with my doc about how irregular my periods have been and how I have been charting ( I brought the charts with me and let her see them) once she reviewed the charts because I am not quite sure how to read them very well, What I thought was ovulation really wasn't. I haven't been ovulating for the past 6 months at all, my doc put me on birth control pills to see if it would at least regulate my period a little better and then wants me to see what happens after that, I am against fertility drugs because my mother had a horrible experience with them and I am scared of it happening to me, I am so hurt and upset I have broken out into hives all over my body because of all of this. I don't know how to better place my anger, I feel myself slipping into depression over this. Has anyone else been through this?? How did you deal. I really wanted another baby!!!!!!!

Its for 5- 6 hours 3 times a week. She only watches my 3 year old who is very well mannered with her. I was thinking $15 a day. Is that too much or too little? She watches her daughter's little girl who is a very demanding child who is extremely spoiled for free but asks us to pay. Is it wrong for me to feel jipped here?

I want to get a bed that my boys can share since they sleep better together. If we put them in their own beds they both end up making their way to our bed in the night. If we put them both in one twin bed they usually sleep their through the night. Do you think a full size bed is big enough for 2 young boys to share or should I opt for a queen. I just want them to have room to play and put their other furniture. Do your kids share a bed?

I had my period about 2 weeks ago, but ever since it ended, I've had weird spotting off and on, bad cramps but only at night, and breast tenderness. I had a pregnancy test done at a doc today, and it was negative, but since i just had a period, it would be too early to dectect pregnancy anyway, unless my period wasnt a true one. Normally, I only experience cramping and breast tenderness right before my period, or for like a day of my period. Its never dragged out for weeks AFTER my period. Could I be having early pregnancy symptoms, or are these signs of something else?

I've been pregnant before, I just didnt know right away last time. But I had tenderness and cramps then too.

Thanks for any opinions, just wondering if anyone else has experience this

My girlfriend and I have been dating a while. She has a baby from a previous marriage and can only have one more child due to something with her hip. I don't know the exact terminology but guess it's like osteoporosis of the hip? She can only have one more child and I would love to have a boy to carry my name. I may seem selfish but I am very accepting if the child is a girl.

I would love the child the same way. I am a teacher and I teach 30 kids already so her daughter is not an issue. I treat my students like they are my own kids. I always wanted a son (well I wanted 3 kids ever since I was younger) but I love my girlfriend very much and I accept the fact she can have one more child because of her ailment. She is against any unnatural methods (no petri dish or test tube baby) to increase chances of having a son. Thanks for your time!
