Hi, I am 21 and I am 6 months pregnant with my second child, my first born she is turning one this month. The baby I am pregnant with now is a boy and he was un-planned. I have recently been having the feelings of sharp pains in my stomach some what like contractions, but they aren't consistent. I have not gone to the doctor because I am on vacation, but Im wondering if I should so see one or not.? Has anyone else had these? Also my baby bump is a lot smaller than with my last child, I dont look 6 months but more like 4. Why is this? Could there be something wrong with my baby? Also I wondered if stress could be putting a strain on my pregnancy because I just divorced both of my kids daddy in May, now we are going through a custody battle with the oldest, he knows Im pregnant but insists that it is not his because he thinks I cheated on him which I never did.....Could the stress of everything Im going through now be stressing my body out to go through early labor?Sorry Its long Im just a little concerned.
Lady, go see a friggen doctor! Your unborn child is more important that anything you've got going on in your life right now. Stress can release hormones that are probably not good for your son. Kick back relax and tell everyone else to shove off. If you were my girl you wouldn't be doing crapola right now but watching TV and eating bonbons. Me and my wife's second son wasn't planned either, well neither was our first but I love them the same and would die for them both. "I'm pregnant but insists that it is not his because he thinks I cheated on him which I never did." Let the looser sweat. Start thinking about that baby you've got inside of you.

My son is 16 months old. I've been tossing the idea around to start trying the whole potty training bit to see if he's ready.
Is that too young?
Any pointers and tips would also be appreciated.
I couldn't agree more with person43. My oldest is actually in this phase and after talking to "experts" they suggest taking it at his own pace. A sure fire way to determine if he is ready or not is when he/she starts to take the diaper off after it's been soiled. Usually when my son does that I immediately take him to the toilet. So far, he's gotten the idea on what to flush means and that toilet paper goes in afterwards. Just be sure to put the TP up high. My son has been known to throw a few rolls in the toilet and then flush, giving the plunger a run for it's money. I also take him in the bathroom with me, so he can see how a boy is supposed to go. Oh, almost forgot if you get your kid to go on the toilet, be sure to praise them A LOT. They love it.

My son is soon to be 16 months old. He is very intelligent, and understands most of everything I say. He knows 6 body parts, and can retrieve anything I ask of him..i.e coat, socks, shoes, cup, diaper etc. However, he did not babble much as a small baby, does not call us mom or dad (sometimes says it but doesnt seem to be directed towards us). He does not try to answer questions with words and communicates by grunting and pointing. He sort of says "kitty" (zizzy) and his word for truck is the sound it makes. that is the extent of his vocab. all other children his age I see are saying at least a few words and try to talk. I have read that he could have a speech disability because he is not talking yet..but some people say he is just a late talker. I am very worried.
My oldest son will be three in November and he isn't talking either. He understands you and will point and grunt too. He acts like a normal two year old except the talking part. My youngest, 14 months is already saying bottle, daddy, and other words. We asked the doctor and he told us not to worry about it, so as long as he is developing correctly in other aspects. My friend has a son who is now 17, he didn't talk until he was three and has a 170 IQ. I wouldn't worry much, if you are, see a doctor. Every child is different, so my case may differ from yours.

Wow well, i really dont know where to start. I am 15 and I have been pregnant once before. Yes i know it was a big mistake. For 8 months after that I didnt have sex. The 8th month, i was a party and got drunk, a man who was over age, prett muc took advantage of me at the party and had sex with me. it is now a month later and i think im pregnant again. I really dont know what to do because i cant tell my mom. She'll be soooooo hurt and i cant do that to her again. SO i was wondering.... I live in the state of NJ and abortion laws here need no consent. So i was going to go to the doctor and ask about one. if I do get an abortion do I need paper work, identification and all that, or since i'm just paying for it I wont? Thats all I really want to know please help. and i dont need any rude comments, trust me i beat myself up enough about it. ....
First I want to say I understand about making bad choices being young. Um, I don't understand why your mom would be upset this time, I mean she obviously knows you had sex in the past. Sex is a strong urge and takes helluva lot a will power to control. Second, have you considered adoption? You could bring joy into someone's life who isn't able to have kids. That's what me and my girlfriend did when we messed up at your age. Third, what happened to this guy? Shouldn't he be in jail or something? In some cases the adopters may even care for you while you go through this. Here's who we went through. http://www.adoptionsbygladney.com/
