My boyfriend and I have been together for 7 years and we are expecting our first child. When I say we don't plan on getting married, people always reply "oh your poor baby" and things like that. Why, I don't get it? Is my child any less loved for her parents not being married? Is she going to suffer some how? Do not say she will feel different because many kids come from unwed families. We plan on being together forever and if we are does it matter that we are not married. I believe a home is built on love and we have that. We act "married" we just don't have the piece of paper. Please don't say we are living in sin either, because I will bet 90% of the poeple who say that had sex before marriage.
BTW we are not married because I would rather elope and he doesn't like that idea, but I won't spend a ton of money on a wedding. Also, neither of us like the idea that if we are married we have to pay more in taxes. I guess we are kind of figh

How can you tell if twins are identical?

Now don't give me a stupid answer. I know how twins are formed and the different types. My sisters are fraternal twins. Obviously, if you have an u/s and find out you're having a boy and a girl, they're fraternal. I've noticed a lot of people saying they are pregnant with identical twins- how do they know for sure? I was told that there wasn't a real way to identify identical twins except by looking at them. I was told that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen aren't identical . Any help?

Earlier today I asked why somebody might choose to bottle-feed from the get-go without even trying breast-feeding; see

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aq6XvaHRGdBf_SqficTKBxLsy6IX?qid=20070312033259AAWAf9A

if curious.

I got a couple of answers from the people I was looking for (those who planned to bottle-feed, not those who switched for some reason). They were "not comfortable with breast-feeding."

What does that mean? How so "uncomfortable"? (I can think of an explanation, but it's kind of sick and sad, so I'd like to think I'm just not getting it.) I've seen that sort of reason on here before; it can't be an unheard-of thing.

I will not take your answer as a diagnoses butmore as a survey as information for me to look into...

my son is persistantly suffering from ear and throat infections , he is clumsey and seems not to hear very well (doctor has confirmed he has borderline normal hearing in one ear)
he is always tired

Does anyone know of a baby stroller with rubber wheels? I went shopping for a stroller the other day and they all had plastic wheels. They didn't look like they would be that stable on different types of land- grass, macadam, etc. Any suggestions? Thanks

As a physio I am unsure whether I should let my child sit in a bumbo chair as I am worried the chair will hold them passively and they won't develop their core stability

Okay, for a girl, the first name Ryan or Dylan, what would be a good middle name for each. Those who don't like unisex names, no criticism please.

We had sex for the first time around the 25th february, she said she has felt odd since.
I used a condom and didnt come during the sex due to nerves. I also checked the condom afterwards for leakages and there wasnt any. She is paranoid incase it came from pre-come transfered from the hands or something.

She said he has been having a bad stomach and checked recently on pregnancy sites and said she is getting worried cause she has some of the symptoms.

I love her alot but im really scared. Do you think she may be pregnant ?

on every single article and every bit of information it says breastfeeding is better and healthy for your baby formula may be healthy but it absolutly is not AS healthy as breastfeeding breastfeeding babies are more healthy in general why do people feel the need to put that they are just as healthy even though every organization that studies this says they are not???

I have been breastfeeding for 7 months now, and only had bleeding in the beginning. I'm on the mini pill and I never miss taking it. But I'm a little concerned about the symptoms I have been having... needing to use the bathroom more, fatigue, dizziness, moodiness, increased appetite. Yesterday I thought I might be starting my period but only a little bit of spotting has come.

I am the mother of 4 children and currently expecting. Can anyone explain to me why everyone is so judgemental and thinks that everyone should only have 2-3 kids. I take care of my children, I am very active in everything that they do, and they do not go without anything. I feel like everywhere we go people look at us like we are irresposible because we have so many kids. I love my kids and have always wanted more than 2-3 kids. My husband comes from a big family and I was an only child. Can anyone help me understand??

1. Does anyone have the Instep Safari Double jogging stroller http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000IORPYW/ref=s9_asin_image_1/002-4732618-8532818 ? If no, which one do you have?
2. Are you able to fit the double jogging stroller you have in the trunk of a sedan (namely Toyota Corolla)
3. Do you recommend the stroller you have to others, and why?

Also: I'm wanting to get it for exercise walking ~4 miles per day. I expect that my oldest child, who will turn 4 in July, will eventually end up sitting in it each time we are out walking, but at what age do children absolutely refuse to sit in a stroller?

I know I'm asking for a lot of info, so thank you in advance for taking the time, if there's anything else you'd like to share in reference to a double jogging stroller I'd be grateful.

I took a test last week, it was positive. I had light spotting (pinkish) Saturday night, then on Sunday I got what seems to be my period. Also on Sunday I experienced heavy cramping followed by two large blot clots. I'm still bleeding, have light cramps and small clots. What do you think? I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

My family recently adopted a child. We have discussed about wether telling her or not. She was only six weeks old and she is about to be one. She is my baby sisiter and my family and I have discussed the issue and we decided no to. We feel that she will feel that there is a differnece between her and my other two sisster. The thing is that many people know and we are afraid that some one will tell and those are my close family. If you cant trust your family than who? As for mw beign the oldest I love her the same as the others, there is no difference. I need help I feel that when she does come of age and finds out then I am going to be the one that she will come to. How should I tell her. I wish that she would never find. But there will be people who will try to tell her. What should I do? And when it come to her reall mom we dont know we lost all contact and we told we didn't want her near her or us.
