Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - June 2007

I'm not pregnant or anything but wondered if, when I do get pregnant, if I would want to be told the sex of the child. From a practical point, it makes sense to find out the sex of the child so you can shop for things, decorate the nursery, etc. I've heard of many couples though that are told they are having a girl, for example, and so they go out and spend hundreds of dollars on girl themed things and then when the baby was born, it was a boy! Has this happened to many of you or your friends? I wonder if the percentage is high for this happening....

My daughters father is denying her. We had the test done last week so were still waiting on the results. (he was the only guy i was with so he is the father) He basicly could care less about her at this point. She was in the hospital last week and he refused to see her. He even through the pictures i gave him out the car window.
His fiance had a talk with him and told him how unfair he was being and if he wanted to make things work with her he will have to do right by my daughter. He kept saying " know i know" So she called me wed and asked if they could have the baby today. I hesitantly said ok. She said he really didnt want to hold her. He wasnt mean to her but he really didnt have anything to do with her. She was the one who took her around all day and showed her off.
She said its gonna take him awhile to get used to it but then on the other hand she said he gets attached to babys real quick.
Should i let her keep going over or should i wait until daddy has test results in hand?

Im just a nervous wreck...?

Well from my other post my girlfriend of 4 years is pregnant. I am standing by her and we will get through this. We have a plan already talked it over with my parents its going to be okay.

I am nervous about the health of my gf, Tara. She has been suffering alot of medical stuff lately for the past year, there was a car accident, surgeries due her dancing, and many others.
She has become very clingy to me because there is no one else she has, we do live together with my parents. I soon have to start working again and leave her home, she says she'll be ok but i am a nervous wreck. If she stops breathing again, if something happens and no one is there, I am just so scared, her friends are very bad influences on her they go drinking until 2 and other out of line things. How can I stop worrying about her?

She has also been very sick lately; doctors are aware but that also makes me nervous if something happens with the baby.. all these thoughts! Whyy!?

Charianna 9.5 y/o: completely out of a stroller!
Danielle 8 y/o: completely out of stroller also!
Scarlett 6 y/o: completely out except 4 naps!
Anabella 4 y/o twin: same as Scarlett
Ansley 4 y/o twin: same as Anabella & Scarlet
Gabriella 2 y/o: still in stroller!
Kingston 10 months twin: still in stroller!
Kelsey Marie 10 months twin: still in stroller
Those are my kids names and ages. I push around a quad-stroller around right now! But I'm due to have a baby soon (about 2-3 months). I'm usually REALLY early. So I want to have as many out of diapers and strollers as possible! Is it wrong to let my daughters Scarlett and the twins still ride in strollers? They don't always ride in them, just when they get tired.

Ok. My husband mom DAWN. Left him when he was just a baby she was on drugs and supposely wanted to clean up her life. Well his dad who was workin offshore decided to put him in care of his grandparents who are his dad's parents. Well they raised him. They told my husband as a kid his mother was dead. Well me and my husband have been together for a little over 4 years now. And about 6 months after we begin dating he got a call from his mom who was supposely dead. So yes it was very shocking to the both of us. We living at the time in Mississippi. I was still in high school. Hubby had finished. We decided to drive to Gerogia. Where his mom lived and 16 year old sister lived and meet her one weekend. Meeting her she seemed prefect. My mom died when I was 12 by a drunk driver. So no real mother firgure in my life since then. Well she came into our lives and was prefect. She was sweet as could be. Explained why she did what she did when he was a baby.We kept in contact over phone after that

Anyway, what size stroller do I need, because by the time I have this next baby the twins will only be 1 y/o. And Gabriella might still sit in there sometimes. Do you think I need a sextuplet stroller, stick with the quad, or just buy a single stroller and make the other ones walk! (i feel evil!) Thanks.

My boyfriend and I had intercourse using the withdrawal method. My period was 5 days late but I've since have gotten my period. It's now the second day of my period. Is it possible or likely that I can be pregnant even though I am having my period?

I'm one month pregnant. I had a small surgery to remove a cyst. In ER i got anesthesia and vicodine. I also got prescribed two antibiotics. Keflex and another one for a vaginal infection. I know you are not supposed to drink anything during pregnancy but my health was at risk. My question is...if i have the baby is this something that can affect the pregnancy or the baby when is born? Because of all the prescription drugs I've been taking I was considering a miscarriage afraid that the pregnancy is going to be affected by it.

Should I keep the pregnancy?

My husband wants in-vitro and I want to adopt. The fact that you're awake while they do the egg retrieval frightens me, as I read this can be particularly difficult for women who histories of childhood abuse. Plus the odds of success being about 1 in 3. If success were guaranteed the first time I might be able to talk myself through it. He keeps saying it's about love, and comparing it to me putting myself at risk for the older child we already have in order to protect her. I have grudgingly agreed to try it once, and, if it fails, adopt. I'm petrified. Is it wrong for me to back out of this? I actually think I'll resent him for pushing me into this and take it out passive aggresively. He doesn't know if he could love an adopted child as well as the 1 bio we have already.

I'm in a huge bind right now..I have just graduated from college but my boyfriend has another year left. I just found out I'm pregnant and he is going to go absolutely crazy..I was on birth control pills and messed up on a few days, it was the whole hype of graduation week, but now im pregnant..I told him once before when my period was late, that I might be pregnant and the guy went crazy and left, but obviously it came, good old birth control..But now that its actually true and for sure I dont even know how to tell him..I'm scared he's going to leave, and I'm so scared what his mom will say..I was thinking about just not telling him for a while because I dont want him and his mom to force me into an abortion because I am not going to do that, i was even thinking about leaving him and never telling him but thats just crazy...And this is my fault because it was me who messed up on my birth control senior week of graduation..What the heck am I going to do?

My friend told me a huge story about having a miscarriage, but I somewhat dont beleive anything she is saying because it seems sorta fishy. She claims it was a baby girl, but you cant tell the sex of the baby till about the 5th month and if she did have a miscarriage it would be a bigger deal. She wasnt even in the hospital and after it happened she was herself. Nothing affected her at all and she seemed perfectly fine as she was drinking the same night it happened and was having sex again. She has no proof of pregnancy and she didnt even tell her friends or family she was pregnant. Her ex boyfriend asked me to please help him out in trying to find out if she was really pregnant or if it was a way to keep him around longer.

1) Describe in detail what happens and what all goes on with a miscarriage.
2) Do you have a period afterwards?
3) Is greiving something uncommon?
4) How long till you can you have sex afterwards?

Please list anything else you think I would want to know

How come when people see me out with my 15mo. old and 2mo. old boys they give me a look of condolence and say..."2 boys? Are you gonna try for a girl?"

What 's wrong with having boys? I always wanted boys. I never once felt disappointed by having 2 boys. I think we will try for another one day but it won't be specifically for a girl...what if it ended up being another boy, would I jsut see him as a waste? Know what I mean?

Anyway, I find it rude and disrespectful to ask me if I"m gonna try for a girl!

I have asked a genetic doctor and all she said was that I should have been inseminated with someone else's sperm, which was not helpful. So I wanted to do a poll.

Parents whose children have both the same mother and father

How many of your children are autistic (and how many are not) and what are their sexes?

Thanks for any help.
