I had to leave him and moved to a new town. My family doesn't support me and I have only made a few friends here so far. I am going to get one friend to watch my daughter and I want to drive to the hospital so I can drive back home (it is in the city, the hospital from my house is about 20 25 minutes). With my daughter I was in labour 7 hours and that was induced...

are there any good lists of things we should register for? I don't want to forget anything. If anyone knows of a website that has a nice organized list that would be great. Thanks!

Shocking.
Nothing to say about adoption or foster care? My questions went largely ignored. How sad is that?
Wouldn't you agree? You jump on every opportunity possible to speak out soooooo vehemently about abortion. Don't you find it interesting that so many do, and there were SO few responses about adoption or foster care?
Come on! What are your thoughts on this? And STICK TO THE ISSUE: these kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, here goes... I am recently jobless, and will probably start my new job on Monday. My dilema is this: My Daughter, who lives in another state, is about to give birth to her (and my first grandbaby) child. I feel as a mother i need to be there for her, but in respect to the child living with me, I need to work. I want so bad to go be with her at this time in her life. Yet things tie me here, like being the breadwinner. I dont know what to do.
Her doctor made me feel bad, asking her if I was still coming out, she said no, and he told her that its something thats kind of important, she will need the help.
I have cried a lot of tears over this. I want so bad to be there for her, but fear I cant. I hate the feeling of letting my kids down. I just dont know what to do.
I have money saved, i can afford the trip, but what if the jobs dont pour in when i come back? ( i have a good chance at a great job, something in my training, finally)

Hello People! If you are having unprotected sex, or the condom breaks, you missed a pill-etc. IT IS POSSIBLE! Half of you are around the world. We are not all doctors. Simple answer to all who ask this, GO GET A HOME TEST! If you cant get one, because oh, my parents will kill me, my boyfriend cant find out, so on so on. then dont have sex! thank you.

I have just finished taking medication for a BV infection the medication is (metronidazole 500 mg take twice a day)same as flagyl. I forgot to take my orange active aviane birth control pill Saturday but I did take one for Sunday which was the inactive pill . Monday I saw I didn't take the one for Saturday and so I took the bc pill now I am not having a normal period I am not sure if the medication is making my period abnormal or if I am pregnant I did have sex Saturday it was about 3:00 am . I don't think I should be pregnant but the medication is known for making bc weak. I am having dark bleeding since Monday the day my period should have came on does this sound like i am pregnant? I am going to take a test today or should I wait until this week is over? I am so confused.

Sad. I posted a question about adoption also and got about 5 answers.
There are so many babies and kids without parents out there than need a home.
This is geared especially toward those of you that take every single opportunity possible to speak out so vehemently about abortion.
Come on!

I didn't seem to have a problem with my first two.but this time I am miles from my family on an army post. I don't feel like I'm getting any help from my husband around the house. They army gave him 2 weeks off to help me and instead he's using it to goof off. My 2 yr old is sick and so I have been avoiding himso that the baby and Idon't get sick. But I feel so quilty and his dad isn't helping. just sticking him in front of the tv. My heart is aching for my kids they need real attention. And it's hurting that I can barely take care of the baby let along the other two right now. Had a csection I can barely get ouf of bed. I haven't eat in 3 days cuz I don't have energy to eat and myhusband hasn't one offered. I lay in my room listening to the 4 and 2 yr old begging for attention and I resent my husband. I lokc myself in my room, if i come out I'mhit with millions of things that have notbeen done around the house.will be continued...

I see lots of people asking for creative ways to announce the pregnancy to the father or the grandparents or someone, and sometimes I'll read the suggestions that they get and think, Wow, that's a dumb idea.

I was just wondering, did anybody come up with something that they thought was a really great idea, and then it backfired? Like, the father didn't understand what you were trying to say or something?

I'm not pregnant now, and I'm not looking for ideas for myself. I didn't even do anything interesting, I just let the dad watch and see if the line showed up on the test, but I was just curious about others experiences.
