jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 19 Apr 12

Our house is about an hour away from the city where the hospital is and where my husband's office is located. There's only me and my 3-year old daughter left in the house on weekdays, and sometimes my husband would fly to another...

ErinCW Would it be at all possible to rent a hotel near the hospital the nearer you get to your due date? Or do you have family that you could stay with that live closer to the hospital? At any rate, if you stay and you are alone, I would head to the hospital at...

Different experiences

ecaron @ecaron (678) • Canada 26 Feb 12

As there are many different women, I think there are many different experiences in giving birth too. A lot of women have told me of the labor and delivery and pregnancy and every story is a little different. It's amazing to me...

ErinCW I have heard that throwing up is quite a natural reaction to child birth. So you are not alone in that! I also refused any meds and gave birth naturally. I have only had one baby so I have nothing to compare it to, but it wasn't really what I thought it...

Couple's Counseling

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 16 Apr 12

I have recently realized that about half of the couples that we know have gone through or are going through couple's counseling or therapy. I think if there are problems in the marriage that are not getting any better on their own...

ErinCW I also think that sometimes just explaining your side of things to an outside person can help you to clarify how you really feel! I think it's sometimes hard to express yourself to the ones we love for fear of hurting them. But then we're not being 100%...

Am i just being an overprotective mom?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 17 Apr 12

I was so well-behaved when I was a kid. I didn't want to get scars and cuts from playing, so I chose my games well. Now, that I have a toddler, and a girl at that, I always find myself watching what she's doing and telling her not...

ErinCW I think the fact that you have that worry means that your daughter will be just fine! Not only are you worried about her safety but you are worried about how your actions and reactions will positively or negatively affect her. I think you are very aware of...

ErinCW I agree! Internet dating - safety factors aside - is a tricky situation. Every person has things about themselves that they want to "beef" up. If you are simply communicating on the internet, making yourself out to be a slightly better or different version of...

Should men also get paternity leave from work?

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94914) • United States 31 Mar 12

I don't have any kids but when I do have kids along the line, I think it would be nice if my future-husband-to-be will also be on paternity leave to be with the child. It would be important to me that both mother and husband are...

ErinCW Sadly in this economy it's really hard to take time off work unpaid. I am just about to end my maternity leave and head back to work and I will be honest that when applying for my mat leave it was not laid out clearly how we could divide up the time or if...
