Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - March 2007

I'm trying to get this to work out the best way possible...I love this girl, so I want to avoid any further problems, but right now she wont talk to me, she wont respond to any contact I try to have, and she wont let me be any part of this pregnancy. I understand that the baby isn't born yet so there is not much I can do about it, but I was wondering if there was anything that may help.
Basically she doesn't want me around because we end up fighting...of course the fighting is usually caused by her telling me that she doesn't want me to be around...anyways, I understand we are in an interesting position, but I think that resolving certain things now would make a better situation for the baby when it is born. Although, she is pregnant so I know she is only trying to keep away from the stress as much as possible.
Anyways, I'm sure you will all have some ideas on how to make this a little easier, all I want to do is be a part of our son's life.

I have no idea, could the foster parent get in a lot of troble because of this.

My husband cheated on me before we got married, but now he is like the perfect husband. The girl he cheated with supposidly had his baby, but they don't even speak and he has never met the child and tells me he doesn't want to because he loves me. I think they are both wrong for that. They should at least get a paternity test. Sometimes, I just want to have an affair because I am still ver hurt. What should I do?

... and people who are really trying cant seem to get prego?

I swear, a dozen of my friends have kids, and all of them were "surprises" and conceived while using prevention methods.

I have 4 friends who have been trying to get prego for months, and no luck!

LOL! Isnt life ironic like that? Does it seem that way to anyone else?

ok basically, I want to know what information or advise everyone has regarding surrogacy and adoption ie. costs, time, etc.

I don't know if I would be able to carry someone else's baby for 9 months and then just give it up....what do you think?

I would love another baby but my husband wants to wait a while - I haven't yet approached him on this one as I think he will say not yet. I would like my children close together and I am the main carer - any ideas?

So many "know" so much LOL! someone actually stated that childbirth increases your chances of cancer- brilliant- we need to get the double-blind study behind that one and publish it before someone else does!!!

I'm so confused about my doctor. I really like him, he's a really nice guy. He's delivered two of my babies and did a great job. He's a family doctor that also delivers babies. Anyway, he is always getting our names mixed up. He calls me by my oldest daughter's name, and my oldest daughter by my middle daughter's name. I am always correcting him. He's even recorded stuff under the wrong person's name in the computer. Every other doctor I've gone to says he's the best doctor and so smart, etc etc. Also he doesn't work Thursdays and only half days on Fridays, and it's hard to get in on Monday, so when we get sick between Wednesday and Monday we are screwed. Twice this year we've had to see a different doctor since we couldn't get in. Anytime I see him he really acts sincere about caring about us. And I always chicken out, whenever I decide to switch doctors I can't follow through. So...is it normal for doctors to forget your name and to have so many days off?

( i know i have already asked this, but cant find the question, or get onto my yahoo e-mail for some reason) At the start of Jan i had a throat infection, adn got put on antibiotics (cant remember wihich ones) that month i only came on for 2 days, where as i am usually on for 7. then this month have came on 8 days early, i went to the doctors to get a repeat prescription for my pill and she brought up the antibiotics i was on, and asked if i had taken extra precotions, i hadn't realised untill half way through the course of antibiotics that they knock your pill out of your system so i hadn't. And she said that i hadn't had a proper period, the bleeding was something called BRB which i think ment break through bleeding, and i have had to send of for a pregnancy test. i explained that i had taken one a few days after i had realised, but it was too early to tell! Can any body tell me if you think i am or not?

its been a month since i gave brith to my little girl. My bleeding slowed down and almost went away but now its back but its really red like the first day and a lot. Is that normal? I keep reading different things. i read somewhere that if it gets to almost white and then back to bright red thats bad but then i also read that it comes and goes for awhile. Just wondering what some of you mother went through. thanks

Since I had my second child, my rings are too big. I lost a lot of weight durring the pregnancy, and I am now 30 lbs lighter than when I got pregnant. I still weigh a lot more than when we got married, though. Do you think breastfeeding would affect my finger size? Should I get them resized, or will my fingers go back to normal? Anyone else have this problem?

How many of you drank crystal light to get your needed amount of water during pregnancy and also does anyone give it to their little kids (18 months plus) to make sure they drink water cause they dont like plain water?

so... i'm five weeks pregnant, and i need to set up an appointment. however, if i set up the appointment, the bill and all of the phone calls will go to my mom's house. i don't want my mom to know yet... but i feel really terrible for not telling her, since we've already told my fiancee's dad and we're getting ready to tell his mom. he is 21, so his family is pretty cool with it, but i'm 18. my mom is the kind of parent who "has plans" for me, and i was enrolled in a university, etc. but i (as she put it) "screwed that up" by moving in with my fiancee four months ago. she loves him like a son, but i don't know how she's going to react... i'm an only child. she had me when she was 28, so she isn't going to be very understanding of any of this.

i guess what i'm getting at is should i tell her soon? and what should i expect? what would you ladies do/ did you do when in this situation?

thank you all very much!

Could I be having a miscarriage? I was having a lot of back pain last night and this morning, but it is time for my normal period. I have had a miscarriage before but I was 13 weeks pregnant then. Can you have a miscarriage and not know you were even pregnant? Would an excess amount of tissue, more than I normally pass, be a passed pregnancy?

If you don't like it and someone tried it, what would you tell them? I'm 12 weeks preggo and I don't think I'm going to mind if people that I know want to touch it but total strangers in the store might make me feel uncomfortable.

I had my 2nd child over a yr ago. Me and my husband were certain we didn't want anymore than 2 when we got together, but I didn't have my tubes tied after she was born. Is there anyone who could share with me what made them want to have their tubes tied. The reasons for me to get it done are * we already have 2 healthy girls, it's expensive raising a family, we're happy, the world is getting crowded, how hard will it be for the 2 that I have to get a job?,
The reasons not to are *it's so final.
How did you (and your partner) decide?

I'm just unsure (a little). Thanks

for everyone who is leaving kind responses, I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

We have had a stressed relationship the last couple of months mainly due to us getting pregnant unexpectedly and having our worlds turned around. Im getting a hotel for us saturday to have some personal time without the baby, our parents, and our friends. He's a manly man with a sensitive side when it comes to me. Im already getting him a six pack cause beer relaxes him, what else can I do to make him just forget about all the stress and worries he has for one day?
