Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - April 2007

I am 24, married, and looking to start a family. I am 5ft5, and 13.5 stone. I have read that I may need to loose weight to get pregnant, although I have a regular cycle of 29 days. Is this true, or one of those myths? I am confused as the more I read the more contradicting info I find. Is there a right thing to do or way to get pregnant? I also suffer with wheat intollerance, Will my wheat intollerance affect amything? i only found out within the last 12 months, so am still learning about it.

Thankyou

I really want to name my daughter Frappuccino because I love the Frappuccinos from Starbucks, but my husband does not agree with me. I personally think its a cute and unique name, so I want to name her that. What do you think?

Ok Moms, please help me out. I am in desperate need of some new dinner ideas. I know there is a food section but I would like recipes children enjoy. Could you please give me your favorite dinner recipe? I know it is a pain to type it in but maybe we could all get some ideas. Thank you so much!

Me and my husband are working currently. We have a 13 year old daughter who goes to school & does her homework daily. At times, she will go out with her friends. She says that she doesn't want me to have the baby because she is afraid that I will tell her to babysit and she will not be able to be with her friends as much as now and she doesn't want to put her plans aside because of the baby. She say it is unfair. I told her honestly that she will not have to take care of the baby all times, but from time to time, yes. She still say no. I will not be able to hire a sitter or quit my current job. I don't have any relatives that can help me with the baby. I want to have to the baby. But, I don't feel right about forcing my 13 yr old to put plans aside for the baby if she doesn't want to but I have to admit that I will need her help from time to time. What should I do? Any suggestions.

I had an unplanned C section with my son, he wouldn't drop, I wouldn't dilate or efface after being induced. I'm not pregnant again yet, but my mom says I should delivery my next one because of the "experience". Everyone I know that had a C section always has another one, what are your experiences?

My husband and I can't decide what to name our daughter.
I really like Evelina Marisol because Evelina is both Spanish and Scandinavian and I just think Marisol is a pretty name. He likes Estefania but it sounds bad with his last name. He has also considered naming her Rosario after his grandma but if we go that route then my grandma Solveig is going to be hurt...and I dont want to curse a child with an old fashioned or ugly name just to make a relative happy. Also I read that the nickname for Rosario is Charo...he likes TVLand a lot and even I've seen a few episodes of the 'Love Boat', I can't deal with Charo.

I live in canada, and am considering adopting a younger child. My youngest is three, oldest is 8. Are you glad that you adopted. How long did it take your child(ren) to adjust to their new home. Any insights would be wonderful. Thank you.

I am about three months pregnant and recently found out the father of the baby plans to have nothing to do with our child. I did consider abortion because of an extremely complicated situation with the father but have since decided to keep the baby. My first priority, of course, will be the baby but how hard is it going to be to find a decent guy to love my and my baby when I am ready to date again? I am only 23 and would really like to get married and have a family someday.

ideas on some sayings I could put on it??? I thought maybe "Stay tuned, I'll be out in 9 months" or "Made in the USA".
Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your input.

Hi I am 19 years old boy from NY and I just DO NOT get abortion. I hear all da time girls n older folks gettin abortons because they do not want. I completly understand they have rights, but what about the baby? Wheter it was born or not yet, it is stilla living thing and stuff it has rights, too! Woman should not be allowed to kill babys they don't wsnt because it still killin andBABY HAS RIGHTS TOO! Why can;t it just be illegal with that fact in mind, WHICH NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THAT BABY born or unborn yet, STILL HAS RIGHT!!!!! It should just be the law to send unwanted baby to adoption or care.

My GF and i made love last Wednesday. It was unprotected, but i terminated it on right time. Now it's almost a week after that time, and she is experiencing abnormal secretion! Her period was supposed to start 04/23, but it didn't! what does it mean? Is it normal for a first timer? I should say that right now she is really sick from throat infection, could this fact delay her period?

I have learned that the CVS diapers are just as dependable and absorbant as the brand names. I have also learned that Wal-Mart's generic formula is ALOT cheaper and is as nutritious as Similac or Enfamil. What are some that you could share?
