What old wives tales have you heard about pregnancy and were they true for you or not?

I have always had bad heartburn when pregnant with a girl and they were all born bald (so far) I had no heartburn with my son and he had lots of hair....FALSE on this one for me!

hi, i am 7 weeks pregnant and spotting around time i would get my period---is this normal?

i went to the doctor's today (7/14/07) and he said my cervix is closed, but it's too early to tell if it's a miscarriage.

i didn't spotting the 1st month i was pregnant ( i just didnt get a period, thus i took a HPT), so i am concerned that i am doing it now.

what your thoughts and/or experiences?

i got to do bloodwork and an ultrasound, but not until THURS (7/19/07) so i am really anxious.

also, i work a 2nd job, do you think this is TOO much for me? my 2nd job is at a children's shelter and i work 8am to 4pm?


i had sex 14 days ago (yes, i am counting)


if this has happened to you and you had a miscarriage, how soon after spotting did it occur

I've decided to have an abortion and the appt is Tues afternoon. I'm 6 weeks along. Father is in jail for next 3-5 years for robbery. I'm 33 and have 2 other kids. I have no medical insurance, I have no family to help me, I have a good job, but finding child care for the long hours I work is next to impossible. I work 2 days a week, but 14 hour days. I make around $35K, so I probably would make too much for any gov assistance. Please tell me I'm making the right decision to abort in this case. Am I going to have guilt for years??? Adopting this baby out is not an option. Serious answers only, no judgement, I loved the man I did not know he was a criminal.

My husband and I have a 2-year-old son and I have been wanting a 2nd child for a while, but my husband isn't ready. My husband has only 4 classes left until he completes his Masters degree and that is my husband's wish is to finish his Masters degree before having a 2nd child. That means another year or more of waiting for a 2nd child and it has made me very sad and angry at him. I am a stay-at-home mom and want my son to have a sibling close in age. My husband has promised me that we could start getting pregnant this Fall or Winter and then changed his mind to next summer without any reason. I got my hopes up and thought it was a compromise and then let down again. Now he says not next summer to start trying to get pregnant, but Spring. I feel emotionally jerked around. What should I do? Should I just wait another year or more and be happy with my son?

I'll be 17 in November, and I am 4.5 weeks pregnant. I live with my mother in the house she owns. She is supportive of me but does not want me to keep this child. She suggests abortion/adoption. I've explained to her that altho I am ProChoice, this is not a situation in which I can justify abortion (for myself). My boyfriend is 19 (20 in November) and is very supportive. He works full time as a skilled worker, framing and building decks. I work part time at Dunkin Donuts. He is great, and says whatever I choose he will be there, but he doesn't want me to have an abortion or an adoption, either. I am finishing HS at my HS's nightschool program, where I can get my degree, GED, MCAS, etc. I am intelligent & wellspoken and test very well. I plan on attending college. So does he. My mom says we can't do it, that it is financially impossible. I disagree. Where there is a will, there's a way. Can two young people who are smart and hardworking, with drive, and love, manage raising their child?

I'm considering purchasing a stroller to acommodate a three year old and an infant. I'd like to know other mom's recommendations based on experience. Is a sit and stand better than a double stroller or visa versa? I'm at square one with this and really am trying to do my reserch before I make a decision on what I should get. Any help and insight would be appreciated.

The whole day is great with kids but i think every parent has a time of day that is just special to them. My favorite time of day with my kids is storytime. Its between bathtime and bed time. They both smell so good and are relaxed before bed. We snuggle in the big armchair and i read a bedtime story. Ive read to both my children every night since they have been born. I hope that they will look back on these nights snuggled up with me as fond memories when they are all grown up.

Hi everybody, I'm due on Aug.24th. There is a paternity issue that I'm sure is not one at all but this crazy ex-boyfriend (who REALLY wants this child to be his) got me second-guessing myself. Essentially, does anyone know the following answers:
1. Can the difference between a 5-6 week unltrasound and a 9-10 week ultrasound be noticed without a doubt?

2. If all my ultrasounds starting from the 10week ultrasound have coincided with my calculations in regards to conception date (give or take a few days), is it possible to actually be a month further along than I thought?

My brothers friend got a girl pregnant during a one-night-stand. (We have told him how stupid he was for not being more careful) Anyway as far as he knows the baby is his (he'll have a paternity test when it's born) The problem is though he knows this girl is doing drugs which is obviously harming the baby.

Does he have any legal rights to prevent her from doing this?

My wife and I were having a discussion this morning about how much babies cost. My wife felt that the baby would need nothing but breast milk for the first 6 months and inexpensive clothes and an argos cot set, which I see being the ideal. I was much more cynical and felt that they are expensive to raise til they are about 17 and leave home.

We are currently doing ok financially with about £200 a month spare cash. My wife feels we could afford to have a child, I disagree.

What are your experiences financially with raising a child and how expensive/inexpensive was it?

i am 40 weeks pregnant, everyone asks me if i am having twins,the ultrasound i had two days ago said that the baby is around 10+ lbs. yet my doc wants to wait for another ten to 14 days. i am having health problems like traces of protien in my urine,high blood pressure, trouble breathing, constant swollen hands and LEGS not just feet but my whole legs. i just want to know if it is ok to get induced even though my cervix is closed, would it be the same as if it were open? i've been induced before, with my first child but i was 1 centimeter dialated.

should i demand to be induced or should i wait it out?

I don't really want to be pregnant, and the idea of getting extra lbs is not excited either but I know that I will for the sake of the baby but I want to know what is the minimum.... I am 115lbs for 5 foot 1.

Also, I am a C cup already, will my breasts go back to my C cup size AFTER pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Please don't judge me, pregnancy never appealed to me at all! I want to have kids and want to adopt... but I might try to conceive one baby.

I would appreciate if you answer to both my questions honestly. Thank you!

It's hard to go off statistics without hearing what the problems are, if any. Do you have children in school K-12? What is your experience with the education system? Please list the state you live and what you think they could do to improve, or why you think it's just fine.
