My hair has been falling out like crazy since my daughter was 2 months old. In one week she will be 4 months old and my hair is still falling out by the handfuls. I've been told that this is normal because it is all the hair that I built up during pregnancy, but this is a huge amount and it's been going on for awhile. I've always had a lot of hair, but I fear that if this goes on much longer I'm going to need a wig. I'm also tired of having hair everywhere, in my daughters toes and fingers, all over the bed, all over everywhere. I'm taking my prenatal, is this maybe not enough? Is she taking all the vitamins out of my body when she breastfeeds and it's effecting my hair? Thank you for your advice

We have adopted one child and would like to have a brother or sister for our son. We can't have children of our own, but are great parents. Agencies charge tens of thousands of dollars - which we don't have. We live a comfortable lifestyle and can definitely financially afford more children - just not the tens of thousands an agency charges. Our son is almost 2 yrs old and we'd love for our kids to be close in age. Going through the ministry could take years, and there is no guarantee an agency would be any faster. Any suggestions on how to go about this privately?

If any of you parents-to-be and/or new parents are wanting to know what double strollers to purchase, I would recommend the Phil and Teds. I have two boys, one whom is just 16 months and the other - 2 months, and we have just purchased the Phil and Teds Sport. I love this stroller. It's an alll-terrain, 4-in-1 stroller, easy to manuever, goes on everything anything and more importantly, goes through narrow aisles. Everytime I take my two boys out, I get so much attention and so many questions about this stroller. And my oder son loves this stroller as well. Gwyneth Paltrow, Russell Crowe, Tiger Woods, Amanda Peet, Carrie-Ann Moss, Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jill Dempsey all drives the Phil and Teds.

My daughters school is required a so called Standard School Attire this year. But it says that only cardigans and sweaters are allowed(with a specific color). But no raincoats or outerwear jackets or coats at all. So what about when it is cold do they honestly think a cardigan or sweater will be enough?? Anyone know why they are doing that??

I am obsessed with being financially secure...and feel we're not. My husband, who is 27, wants children and thinks we're ready. I am ready emotionally, but financially I'm so scared!

Alright, my period is 12 days late. But when I was supposed t have my period I had a watery substance with alittle blood. the second and third day I had brown substance almost like edometriosys (don't know how to spell that) and then nothing. about a week ago I was really nauseus and pee'd every like 45 min. and now there is nothing. So at first I thought i was pregnant and took a preg test when i 5 days late and it came back neg. and Now 12 days late I don't feel pregnant and my stomach isn't hard like people say it should be. I am out of town for 6 weeks and don't know if I should just wait until my next missed period. Or if this is just fluke even though I haven't ever missed a period

shouldn't a woman have to have a child or not have a child on my terms?

I'm sick of this my body my choice, or pro-life murder is wrong. None of that even matters.

It's man's choice.

I have a tandem stroller, and it's time for an upgrade! I'd like to get a double jogging stroller, but not a gargantuan one! My daughter is almost 3 and my son is one year old.
Any recommendations for brands, models, etc? Thanks so much!

A few months ago I was dating a girl and we werent having sex then I started cheating on her with another girl. I wasnt having sex with my gf then but I WAS having sex with the girl I was cheating with. I was rude to my gf and didn't care, I still dont in fact, she's annoying and has a big nose. Well the gf dumped me for cheating, I taunted her about how she'd gotten stepped on like a doormat, I even pretended that I had a 2-yr-old son with my new girl. Then not long after that, my now-ex claimed that she too had cheated in our relationship, and was now pregnant by this other dude(I know it aint mine, because we werent having sex). She should be about 4 months pregnant by now. Is this true or is she lyin?

I am just curious as to if any of you would call on a friend.

personally I would. no matter how good of a friend it is i would feel the responsibility to protect the children.

i have a friend who witnesssed a friend of hers beating her child and instead of calling CPS she just told her she didn't want to see it again.

Do I put her in a stroller or sit her on my lap?

Will it cost for her?

Some think its not hard at all when you are pregnant and think that after they have the baby it wont be hard at all.
When it is hard and a challenge to take care of a baby and having to support it with everything, it takes ALL kinds of money to have a baby.

What do you think about a 13 year old being pregnant at a young age?

I'm not 13 i'm 18 years old, but wondering about what you other peoples opinion is on 13 year old girls being pregnant.
I never was pregnant EVER, but i will after i get married and stuff later on in life.

I was just browsing websites for what to pack in your hospital bag for when you go into labor. What are some things that you packed that may not be on "the list" but you found you couldn't live without while you were in the hospital?

i had an ultrasound last week and it took the lady quite some time to figure out what hte baby was. then all of a sudden she just said w/o much energy-- "its a boy". looking at the screen, all i saw was 2 dots... now i have two other kids, a girl and a boy... and my son had a noticable penis and my daughter had just two dots. i "knew" what i was having with both of my previous kids and felt like i was having a girl this time and was really thrown off when she said it was a boy. so do u know the margin of error for ultrasounds to detect a baby's sex? also, this baby's heartbeat is slower like my daughter's was. its between 130 and 150 bpm... whereas my son's heartbeat was around 180. is that just a wive's tale or do you think its true that girls have lower heartbeat rates and boys highter

Women can put anyone's name on a birth certificate, in most states. In some states, the man has up to six months to challenge being named the father. Not knowing he was named is not considered a legitimate defense.

I had an umbilical hernia during my last pregnancy and my OB told me at my post partum check it didn't require surgery. Well during my current pregnancy it has become worse. My midwife has been keeping a close eye on it so no complications arise such as strangled intestines which would require emergency surgery while I'm pregnant. I need to have surgery to correct it and will have that and my tubes tied before I leave the hospital after the baby is born (within 12-24 hours of the birth). I HAVE asked my midwife about rcovery times and what to expect but she doesn't really know. I WILL ask the surgeon when I meet with him but thats not until Sept (exactly 1 month before my due date). I need to prepare who is going to help with my other kids and housework while I recuperate.
Has anyone had this surgery before? How long until I can drive again? How much weight will I be able to lift and how long until I can get back to my regular activities?
Thanks!

Taking birth control and having your body expell an otherwise healthy embryo because it can't implant in your hormone induced thin lining of the uterus or go with natural family planning and risk that you might screw up and do the do on a fertile day.
I'm aware of all the birth control methods ( I'm currently on the Nuvaring) I've read and studied many sources on the matter. Finding out that most birth control methods can abort embryos from implanting by creating a hostile enviornment is heart breaking as I have been on birth control off and on for 11 years. I'm beginning to think birth control is murder in the same sense that choosing to have a pregnancy terminated as an option for getting rid of a baby you don't want.
I'm scared that if I use the Natural Family Planning method I will misread my body's symptoms of being fertile. I'm 24 and have 3 kids already, work part-time, and school full-time. My husbands has 2 full time jobs. Its hard enough as it is! Which method seems right?

This is not a judgement in any way, I'm just curious. I know that some people make mistakes and choose to have their babies and raise them without being married, but others purposely conceive children out of wedlock, those are the ones I'm curious about.
