harmful things while pregnant
Posted Tuesday March 24 2009, 4:29 am
I have heard that the first couple months is the most critical for your baby. that being said I am a bit worried about what I have been exposed to. I am 10 weeks pregnant. I smoke cigarettes, (i know, i know, i have cut down and plan to fully quit within a couple weeks). What I am mostly worried about is my job. I am a night janitor. I work anywhere from 7 to 11 hours a night and get from 3-6 hours of sleep as I have to be up with my other child in the morning. I lift heavy items all night, and I have heard furniture polish is really bad for the fetus, and I have used a TON of it in the last couple weeks. Not to mention all other cleaning supplies I use. the most of my worries though, is that I clean a large automotive garage whic...

what can I do while being pregnant?
Posted Sunday March 22 2009, 8:47 pm
I have a couple questions about what I can and cannot do while I am pregnant. Right now I am only about 9 weeks along. If you don't know all the answers that fine just please answer what you can:)
1- Can I ride horses or not? If I can can I do my horses normal work out, Im a barrel racer, and pole bender.
2- Can you get perms? Some people say yes some say no. Do the chemicals really harm the baby?
3- Is there any websites that can help you plan for baby and plan out monthly cost?

to parent or adoption?
Posted Tuesday March 10 2009, 10:14 am
So I m 15 almost 16 and pregnant, my baby is due in late October early November. My boyfriend and I would like to stay together and raise our baby, and do the best we can we know it will be hard but we are up to it. He is a senior and graduating and taking over his dads company so money isn't an issue.
My parents are the issue, they don't like my boyfriend and think that if I have this baby and keep it then I will hand it off to them to raise. They want me to put the baby up for adoption. I think this would be very hard and I think I would regret it. What should I do? Im very confused on what I should do I don't know if I should just give the baby up for adoption or try to talk to my parents more about keeping it. ...

Stepson doesnt want to go back with his mom
Posted Thursday March 5 2009, 6:06 pm
My 14 yr old stepson moved in with us in November 2007 due to safety issues by CPS. He had major anger issues and behavior problems.He has Aspergers Syndrome. I have asked him if he would want to visit his mom and siblings for spring break and he said no. My question is should I ask his mom to sign over full custody to us since we are still paying her child support and unfortunately she rarely calls him.
Atleast we would be able to live our lives and not have her tell my husband that she can pick him up at any time since she still has custody. He has changed dramatically and is doing a 100% better.

Pregnant need help--so scared!!!!

So Im 15, and Im pregnant, I don't know what to do Im so lost and confused, I guess I don't want a lecture of Im too young because its already done and over with. I dont really believe it yet, I dont know why but I don't. I have taken 4 tests today they were all positive, I might try and take 2 more tomorrow. But I guess my main questions are right now--

Posted Wednesday February 25 2009, 4:38 pm
Hi i am a mother of three, and just like many moms i fear that i might be making so many mistakes. Although my husband tells me that i am a good mother, sometimes i lose my temper or feel like i yell at them too much and im afraid that i may be verbally abusing them. I barley spank or punish my kids, but i feel like i give them attitudes when i should b a little more patient. i dont have many complants regarding my children becuz all and all my kids r really good kids. Im sure most parents make the same mistake from time to time but i dont want my kids to have any reason to become too distance and or feel like they have no trust in me when they become teenagers. How can i calm down and not take my frustration to a level that may hurt my kids emotionally.

hate my parents, especially my dad and i'm a only child and need to talk
Posted Saturday February 14 2009, 6:23 pm
I hate my parents so much, my mom is a stupid self-centered hippie bitch and she always wants attention in public. My dad is so mean to me, if he doesn't get his way in a argument he just tells my mom lies or stretches the truth a LOT so that she won't even listen to my side of the story and just lets him do whatever to me. She always believes him and never me because I'm "disrespectful" to them but thats because they always leave my problems with them and we never talk about them but everything that I do that's wrong gets recognized RIGHT AWAY. Anything good I do is never recognized. AND my dad hits me and nobody believes me, probably because I act stupid annoying and selfish and outgoing but thats just because nobody cares at ho...

Going into Labor..
Posted Thursday February 5 2009, 5:01 pm
Ok so i'm pregnant with my first child..and I am 35 weeks pregnant.
My due date is March 12th..as the days get closer I get a little more panicked about the whole thing.
I want to do it the natural way..no epidural..but I'm starting to really freak out about the pain and the unexpected.
I guess what I'm looking for is not really an answer but more like comfort and support from people who have experienced this.
I'm also worried that I won't know when I'm going into labor..i kno everyone says I'll know.
I'm just panicking about everything...

Not my son
Posted Wednesday January 28 2009, 2:26 pm
I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to sue my ex-wife for lying to me for the last 12 yrs. We divorced in 94 and about 97 she started telling all our friends that my son was not mine, yet she never told me. I got wind of it from my friends then I approached several attorneys, but they all said that I am stuck because I signed a divorce degree with his name on it, and the time to contest dna had passed. I feel like she knew how long she had to wait before saying anything. She knew then I would be stuck. She has taken me back a total of 4 times, and always manages to get more, and more, yet my son will not talk to me, or visit me. He is not 17, and I am 4 months from being done, but I am just upset that she has taken so muc...

Toddler and new baby problems
Posted Sunday January 18 2009, 4:31 am
I have 3 children ages 6,2, and 4 weeks. This morning I was taking a nap with my newborn in his bassinet next to the bed. "Grandma" was supposed to be watching my 2 yr old daughter. I had woken suddenly hearing the baby cry, and realized the baby was not in his bassinet. I immediately knew something was wrong and called my daughters name and ran to where I heard the baby crying. My daughter had dropped her brother on a pile of laundry and ran to a corner when I called her name (she knows she isn't supposed to be anywhere near the baby without supervision). It turned out "Grandma" has fallen asleep watching TV, instead of watching my daughter. My daughter has picked up the baby by herself multiple times without out...

Me and my partner have been trying to concieve for a while, then 2 days before my period was actually due, I came on with only light bleeding, and it was very light in colour, and quite painful, and only last 3 days?

2 . Always lasts at least 6 days

4 . Normally pain free.

Where can you learn about childbirth and lamaze without taking the classes?
Posted Saturday December 27 2008, 10:22 pm
My mom is having another baby and she wanted to take those childbirth/lamaze classes this time around. She said she wanted to do a completely drug free birth and thought the classes would better prepare her for it.
Well, her midwife told her that she'd have to wait until she was 36 weeks pregnant to attend the childbirth classes. She's now almost 38 weeks pregnant and the hospital told her that her midwife gave her wrong information! The hospital says there are no more spaces in the childbirth class and that she was suppose to take the classes a lot sooner--like, before 36 weeks even!
Anyway, my mom feels totally unprepared and is very distressed. She doesn't know where she can go to the classes at. Is the...
