Could i be pregnant? (PLEASE, IT WOULD REALLY HELP IF SOMEONE WERE TO ANSWER)

18
vote
     
     

Im fourteen years old, please some answer my question. My boyfriend and I were laying on my bed on our sides facing eachother, and he was dry humping me (he was not ontop of me), but his penis was not completely touching my vagina. I also had clothes on, underwear and sweatpants, when he was about to ejectulate (SP) he told me to move away, so i rolled over onto my back so he could; and he did on my sheets. But what i have heard about and am most worried about it pre-ejectulation or something like that. Even if he did "pre-ejectulate" i dont think his penis was near my "hole".

What was your birth experience like with a doula? Do you feel it made a positive difference? Would you recommend a doula to a pregnant friend?

This story out of India makes me wonder how old it too old for children? One of the twins was apparently conceived through in vitro fertilization.

How old do you think is too old to be a parent? Would you have children at 72?

Homebirthing -- Do you think it's a safe option?

30
vote
     
     

The firestorm that erupted last month over Ricki Lake choosing homebirthing and the AMA's subsequent statement about how it feels hospital births are safer got me thinking. Should women have choices when it comes to birthing options? Or should women rely on hospitals?

Are ADD and ADHD drugs OK for a hyperactive nephew?

56
vote
     
     

I have a 6 year old nephew that is INCREDIBLY hyperactive, to the point where he can not pay attention, or listen to instructions given by his parents or other family members.

How do you know when a child has ADD or ADHD, vs. just being "hyperactive" and a normal kid. He has more energy then other children his same age (and MUCH more energy then his family members!)

Do you let your toddler watch TV or videos?

Do you allow your toddler to watch TV or videos?

According to the American Academy of Pediatricians (www.aap.org), it not recommended for toddlers 2 years or younger to watch ANY television or video, as they are unclear if it harms any of their development.

However, I've noticed a surge of "baby einstein" and related "educational" videos for parents to purchase for their tots to help their development (or, so says the advertising).

What do you think? How much TV and/or videos is okay for toddlers, whether it is "educational" or not?

Is Tori Spelling Baskin' in 31 Flavors of Bacteria?

Did you see this story about Tori Spelling eating yogurt while pregnant?

Is it really that bad? What do you know?


Why is Baskin-Robbins trotting out Tori Spelling to push its new line of soft-serve ice cream on other pregnant women when soft-serve is a known taboo for preggo women?

How Old Is Too Old for Motherhood?

36
vote
     
     

So, I saw this article today about a 70-year-old mother who is caring for a 3-year-old child. I think it's great as long as she's made provisions in the event of her passing. I can understand why this isn't a popular view. How does someone who may be dealing with his or her own health issues adjust to the rigors of parenting? But doesn't a 70-year-old have a lifetime of experiences and knowledge she can pass along to her child?

BPA issue & sippy cups -- which sippys are safe?

22
vote
     
     

I am concerned about the sippy cups my daughter is using. I need to know what brand & type of sippy cups are BPA-free. I heard there are certain numbers that are marked on the plastic that should be avoided, but it is really hard to look at some of the cups & find the numbers. Can anyone tell me what sippy cups are safe?
