Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - July 2007

The other day I was watching TV and this Character was telling her daughter how after she (her daughter) was born she (ther mother) got sick and the doctor told her she couldn't have anymore babies or that it would be best if she didn't.
I'm wondering what caused that to happen was it because of the birth of her daughter?
And also what symthoms would the woman have gotten?
Is this such a thing or was it just TV shows being TV shows?

Thanks in advance!

I will admit where i am wrong so i just want to know what you people think of the argument my hubby and i had.....First off, he has two boys and i have two boys, and we have a 3 week old little boy together. We've been married for 6 years the oldest boy is 8. So the kids have always known me and mom and his as dad :). Yeasterday he threw it in my face that i shouldnt "hold" the newborn so much, and that everything is about the baby. Like hes jealous or something. Ive done it all. In the past 3 weeks, im the only one that gets up with him, makes his bottles and changes the diapers. I think in 3 weeks hes changed one diaper and made a fwe bottles, but doesnt wake up with him in the night. I told him if i wanted to be a single parent i would have been, and that he doesnt help out and im tired of it. Was i wrong to say this, or is he wrong for not helping out? When i need him to hold the baby, i have to ask him to hold him. i dont get why he doesnt seem to care about the baby? Thanks!

I was 17 when I had my son with my high school sweetheart! We have been separated for about 5 months now. The baby has my last name (oh and by the way is 5 yrs. old) and no father listed on the birth certificate! I should say that this guy is very emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. I just wanted to know that once his paternity test is run... can they make me change the babies last name? And also any advice on how to get out of this would be great. I would much prefer for him to stay out of our lives. He doesn't pay me child support and never has! And I would much prefer to keep it that way. He has hit my son in the face and I just want him to stay away from both of us. Thanks!!

Okay my husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while now ( about 5 months). For the last few months I have been using ovulation tests. Now, I have never had a problem with before. I have been using them regularly every 3-4 days regardless of a positive or negative result. Now, here is the thing....Exactly two weeks ago tomorrow I got a super strong positive....it stayed like this for two days, my hubby and I did our thing and then I went back to getting negatives....perfectly normal right?? Well for some odd reason this morning I thought just for kicks I'm going take one....I was sure it would be negative being that I ovulated two weeks ago...but no...it was a super strong positive!! What the heck?!?! How can I get a positive ovulation test two weeks ago..then a bunch of negatives and another + two weeks later....what gives?? I know I don't have PCOS or anything like that...Why would they do this??

My husband and I have always been open and honest with our children when they have come to us about sex or questions regarding puberty and how their bodies are growing. We currently have 4 kids and we are expecting our 5th baby in Oct so our older kids know the basics of getting pregnant and how the baby is born etc. My 14 year old asked me what abortion was, how its done, why someone would want to have one, and if I think its ok to have one. When I asked her why she wanted to know she had overheard some women at church discussing it and was just curious. I was glad she came to me and I answered her as truthfully as I could in words she can understand. BUT my husband thinks I was wrong to discuss it with her. So who is right him or me? BTW I believe that a woman should have the right to choose an abortion but I never would.

Month One
Mommy
I am only 8 inches long
but I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
is my favourite lullaby.
Month Two
Mommy
today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
you could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.
Month Three
You know what Mommy
I'm a boy!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too
and I cry with you even though
you can't hear me.

Month Four
Mommy
my hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
but I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
and stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.
Month Five
You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?
Month Six
I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! HELP me!
Month Seven
Mommy
I am okay.
I am in Jesus' arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me Mommy?


Every Abortion Is Just . . .
One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

With the birth of my daughter this past January, my husband stayed home from work for a week after she was born. After she was born we had to stay in the hospital for 2 days, then after coming home we had visitors every day for the rest of the week! It was exhausting! I was so tired and just wanted to spend time with the baby and on top of that I was trying to learn how to nurse her, which is hard to do when you have a house full of people! Plus by the time my husband had to go back to work we didn't get to spend hardly anytime alone with our daughter because we had visitirs every day! We are hoping to have another child soon, and I was contemplating asking people to not visit for the week after the birth. In the hospital is fine, but when I come home I don't really want any guests. Is this ok to do, or is it rude?

What should be the Punishment for Paternity Fraud? What should happen to these nasty bitches who go around picking the Daddy they like best, and messing with peoples lives. I know what I would like to do to these women, who think that its their right to play with the lives of men and children - what about you? What do you think should be done to tackle the massive number of women who lie and deceive and get away with Paternity Fraud all the time? They ruin other peoples whole lives - shouldn't they suffer too? What should be in place to deter these unstable and uncaring women from continuing to ruin lives?

Can you give evidence supporting or refuting the meaning
of reproduction. If the meaning of life is to reproduce then
does life have a transient meaning. In other words, what
does to produce mean in the context of reproduce.
If we don't know what is being produced then doesn't
that imply that the production lacks meaning.
Which is the correct context(or combination): I reproduce, we
reproduce, it reproduces. Why?
Does the action of reproduction end after pregnancy? In
other words, is it practical to state that the raising of the
living child is a continuation of the reproducing of the
child, and in that case when does the reproduction
cycle end, or does it continue until death. If it does continue
until death then when does the reproduction become
production?
Are people aware of the gravity involved in the intent
of reproduction, or do people reproduce due to an
unexplainable physical urge and hope it will turn out
for the best?
Serious answers only please.

My friend just had a baby and she and her husband already have everything they need--and they are financially well-off, so they won't need diapers or formula. I would like to give them a great and lasting gift, not just a jumper or a blanket. I was thinking of something more along the lines of a savings bond or something else kind of unrelated to newborn babies, but I think it may be too impersonal. Again, I would like a gift that would last a long time. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

i'm 16 and i've basically been off of my Zovia 1/35 birth control pills for 2 weeks. I had unprotected sex at the end of my period and then again the next weekend. while i was on my period i had no idea that the last 7 Birth control pills contained no medication so i took them and had sex thinking i was protected. Last week i knew i wasnt taking pills but still had unprotected sex. Could i be pregnant? I'm not spotting or anything but i am worried. Can somebody please give me some advice

Well we both know that this was wrong! So please don't tell us the law! We know! We are both over 18 and got a bit drunk at a UNI party and the next thing we know we started fooling around and we are now in this situation where she is 6 weeks pregnant! How do we tell our parents? We don't believe in abortion so that isn't an option! What will our friends think?

I would just like other people's opinions on my situation here and what they would do if they was in my shoes, please only serious answers.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and i'm only 21. I have decided to keep this baby as I do not believe in abortions - I hate the idea. I do part time work and I'm in University.

When I look at my life, I'm quite dissapointed, not to say I don't love my son who is 3 - I wouldn't change it if I could go back. What I am upset about is that his father was very abusive towards me so we split shortly after my son was born.

I've met someone else and we've been together for 2 years but I'm upset that my children have different fathers and I'm still young. Many of my friends who have 2 or more children at my age have their children with the same father.

As I'm quite young and know that I'm still going to go through a lot of changes, the same with my boyfriend, i'm worried we'll split later on in life and then no-one will want me.
