My husband and I have been married for 6 months. I'm 30 and he's 7 1/2 years older than I am. He has 2 kids and so do I. I want us to have one together, for many reasons, the main ones being that I want to have *his* baby and I simply want another child. However, he already has 2 girls and I have one of each. Neither of us really wants another girl lol. However, it's keeping us from really trying for a baby, because we are afraid it will be another girl. We both desperately want another boy. Please help me figure out how to change our minds about this. I'd LOVE another son, but it seems like if we had a baby girl, it'd be....sighs.....another girl? Please don't bash me or tell me how ungrateful I am or how selfish I'm being because I have already thought about all of that. Yes, we would most want the baby to be healthy, but have any of you felt the way that we are now? What did you do about it?

I was just wondering for feedback from others who have tried it. I trust my midwife, but thought I'd ask and see if anybody has negative... or positive... thoughts about it. Any problems, side effects, etc.? Thanks!

for me, i hated seeing the colours purple and black together (i personally find it very weird why it bugged me lol),

apart from the sleepness nights cause of woddling to the loo back and forth, and the restless legs, and heartburn, and emotional overload pmsl i loved being preg but there was just so many things that bugged the heck out of me.

o i couldnt keep my mouth shut when it came to people being inconsiderate (most of the time, it had nothing to do with me to :S ), but strangely not many people will argue till they are blue in the face with a pregnant woman lol.

She has 2 kids (age 4&5) that are quite a handful. I'm a stay at home mom with an infant daughter. Money is really tight with us, and it would really help us make bills if I were bringing in money without having to put our daughter in daycare (that would cost equal to what I could earn), also watching them takes away time I could be doing housework-yardwork-playdates, and online surveys and focus groups that bring in anywhere between $1 and $35 every day) etc that I acomplish during my daughters naps.
She's a single mom and daycare in our area would cost her $410 per week (about $82 per day) for her kids (which is about what she earns).
I feel obligated to help her out, and know my husband expects me to, but am not sure if it's fair to ask to be paid for helping her out, and if so how much is fair to ask??

My husband is in the military and we live far away from our family. Therefore, when we visit the baby shower was going to take place. Is it wrong for the shower to be then when we live so far away and want to see everyone?

Ok...I am almost 6 months pregnant, 21 and becoming a single mom. I work full time as a 911 operator, go to school full time at a university...I'm on a scholarship so I have to stay within scholarship terms, therefore I cannot drop to many units.

I eat healthy, I take care of myself.....I do take time to relax when I feel my body needs it.

Just lately, I've been stressing so much....being pregnant is hitting me harder and harder everyday..PLEASE do not get me wrong..I am so excited about having a baby

My problem is, a couple of weeks ago I got really stressed, my babys father tried coming back & physically abused me (of course he is gone for good now) I smoked a cig & I know it's wrong...but now I seem to need one every now and than. AGAIN PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME...I know it's wrong but it's so hard to stop being stressed, how bad is this ( I smoke about 3 a day) I used to smoke b4 being preg & quit cold turkey when I found out I was preg.

Now I know its not the greatess form of birth control however its the cheapest. How many of you believe it works? how effective has it been for you? would you say after taking a nice soapy bath afterward can you still get pregnant?.

I had a miscarriage one month ago, I had to have a D&C, they gave me birth control to regulate my period afterwards. I started having sex again two weeks after this. There were a couple of times we didnt use condoms, but he pulled out, however I know that is not 100% effective. The pill I am taking says it starts working after a week of use. But, I have had only minor spotting and almost no cramping, does it sound like I am pregnant again or is that normal for these circumstances? THANKS

Me and my girlfriend are expecting our first child a little girl this september. And our family is excited and they are ready and willing to watch her over night, but we don't want her to stay over night we said we would come visit, they say no. Is this ok for first time parents and how can we get out of this mode?

I just wanted to thank everyone that gave me advice during my pregnancy. I wanted to give you all an update.
My water broke around 11:30am on May 31st and we met our son, Connor Riley at 8:42 that evening, he was 7lbs and 14oz and 20.75" long, healthy and absolutely beautiful.
If I am to give anything back I would say to exercise during your pregnacy ( if you are not high risk) and eat well. My labor was only 9 hrs long and I pushed for only 12 minutes. I believe that my activity and diet had much to do with it.
This was my first child and I had the epidural at 3cm, I progressed to 10 cm in only 5 hrs. It actually sped up my labor since I was so relaxed. Highly recommend it, the only drawback was I had numbness in my legs for an additional 9 hrs, but well worth it.
Also on a side note May 31st was the blue moon (two full moons in one month), my baby came once in a blue moon!!!

Could I keep half a can of beef broth in the can and in the fridge? Is it safe to do and how long will it stay good? Can I leave other opened cans in the fridge like wet cat food? Or is it best to take it out and store leftovers in another container?
I just wanna make sure it's safe.
Thanks.

I have bought tons of clothes there for my daughter. She is naturally small so I always have to go a size small for the bottoms. Now my son is the opposite. He is 8 months and has been wearing 6-12 months for awhile. I measured him and he is 27 inches long. I am trying to figure out what size top to get him. I am looking in the kid section, not the newborn. Right now he wears 6-12mos tops from old navy. But if I get him a onesie or a one piece outfit I have to get 12-18 mos cuz he is long in the torso. So my question is after this novel.... Do you think I should get 6-12mos top or 12-18mos. It is just summer clothes. I am doing it over the internet so thats why I'm asking...
Thanks!
