Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - July 2007

You know, getting up in the middle of the night, changing diapers, buying baby clothes, milk, saving for college. That's right, having a baby. Now why would I want to ruin my life like that? I actually want a life. I want to come home from work and school, shower, cook if I want and if I don't want, then I don't have to. I can get a full night's sleep and not have to care for anyone but myself. I mean, I'm in my early twenties. I can find something better to do than make babies. I don't want kids. They are just a waste of time to me. I want to enjoy my life, not let a baby take it. Why are people that don't want marriage and kids considered selfish? If you want those headaches, be my guest. Not for me though. I actually want a life.

My son is eight and a half months old and has a hidden penis [I think]. When you look at my son, he looks normal, it's just that when you look at my baby's member, his penis doesn't stick out. Not like, it's hard, but it goes inside. It looks like a flat area with just a little tiny hole where he pee's from. His scrotum size is normal it's just his penis I'm worried about. I have a pediatrician appointment today at 2:40 but I will be online until 2:00 central time. I am flipping out and can't find any help online about a "hidden penis" for babies. Do you guys know anything or have had a similar case like this? If so, what did you guys do? How did you deal with it? How is the recovery process?

apply for a new job when you are trying for a baby.

I know for a fact that I may not be able to concieve, and what happens if I've put my career on hold for a baby who's still not here in 10 years time, but is it inconsiderate to potential employers, and should I care?

So many times a day I see people tell others how its impossible to have a period while pregnant.

But it's not true, considering I have had 4 people in my family have periods all through their pregnancies. Came out with healthy babies.
Also there are plenty of sites, that specifically say its not uncommon nowadays to have a period during pregnancy.

lately I feel very alone. I have told him that I need him to smother me right now PLEASE, but he doesn't understand why "all of a sudden" I need him in my back pocket. My problem is... What should I do now that I have ASKED him to be there for me and he basically has ignored my plea. I am so frustrated and I am trying not to let it get to me since I am sure that it is all the raging hormones that I have no control of.. Am I wrong to feel unappreciated right now because I asked for his support and he has ignored me?? I just want to cry, I have cried ALOT both to him and alone. Is he being selfish or am I for asking???

Do you agree w/ this ?


I'm a woman that raised both my children on my own. It frustrates me2 the max when i read verbal diarrhoea like you, 4 starters udecided to go through w/ t preg, in my eyes that makes u just as bad as he, you sound young and you really don't have any idea on what you are bringing this Innocent child into, don't forget the father has rights 2 & plz don't rob the child of that, don't bad mouth the father to the child and don't use the child as a pawn, it is a little human being that you helped create with a man that you obviously loved before you became this bitter and twisted woman that her only concerns are already about $, please don't become like a lot of woman I despise, you did not fall pregnant on your own, take responsibility and show your child all the love and nurture this world has to offer, that way your child will grow up with a healthy mind, body and soul, my children are happy and healthy and they only had me to nu
Y would I get preg for $:@

I had unprotected sex on june 20th and june 25th, according to an ovulation calculator i was ovulating around june 26th. now on july 7th im feeling some odd symptoms that im thinking might be due to a pregnancy. i have been having dizzy spells, usually its when i first get up, also ive been having a nauseas feeling, no vommiting yet, also ive been experiencing some mild headaches and bloating as well as tender breasts and tiredness. if i am infact pregnant i would be 3-4 weeks. my period is due in about a week, but i do not normally feel this way before my period. any opinions on whether or not its pregnancy or just an unusual period? and what are some common symptoms had at four weeks pregnant?
PS: also, been urinating more often!

Have any of you experienced changes in your menstrual cycle after having a baby and getting your cycle back? I used to be every 31-34 days, and now 2 years after having my daughter my cycles are every 26-28 days. I was wondering if having a baby can change this, or if it's just changing as I get a little older (I'm 28). Thank you.

I'm breastfeeding my 2nd child, have a manual pump but find hard work get hand cramp!!
Would like to purchase an electric one as always said I would. There are cheaper versions out there for around £25 mark but how effective are they? Would you consider a 2nd hand one as it is going to be sterilised, i'm not sure I like the idea but some of the known branded ones are £50-£85 and i'll probably only use for about 3months, my 3 year old son is desperate to feed his baby sister as is my husband, and it's not always appropriate, to get my boobs out, in certain places, as I feel uncomfortable with peoples reactions.
So help on brands that are effective to please without breaking the bank please, thanks:)

In two months time we will be moving together. That will be a big adjustment for me as I will need to move to another country where he now lives and works. That is why it is so important for me to know.
I have talked to him about that. He said that he will not deny me the chance to have a baby (he has 2 kids from his previous marriage).But he said that not right now. On one occasion when he saw that I was a bit reluctant on using the condom he said: you don't want a little thing in there”. Also mentioned the fact that his kids might think he has replaced them. Asked me if I would insist on getting married once we had a baby. So he is maybe suggesting that he doesn't want that any more? On the other hand he said he does want a family with me. That he feels very comfortable with the fact that I will be moving with him which did not happen when his ex wife moved in. I must also add that he loves me very much and I love him. Our relationship is perfect but I really need an advice on this

Majority of Kids today are alarmingly turning into little B@sTurds because so many parents are using the pseudo-pansy alternative to establishing order in the house. Guess what? IT'S NOT WORKING.

It's not effective into setting the boundary between parent to child. Almost everytime I go out anywhere, I see them screaming obscenities to their parents, running up to strangers and touching them, perpetually mishandling store merchandise and screaming to no end!

Does Anyone out there in Y!A have any success in 'talking' your child out of turning into a miserable little brat? Seriously?
