IL2Knit @IL2Knit (1141) • United States 3 Jul 07

I gave birth 3 times. People I loved being PG. I loved the clothes and how it felt to have the baby move around. I felt such a bond with my babies. I would rub my belly and talk to the baby I had inside me. I told them how happy I...

Which pregnancy test did you use?

Married2aMarine @Married2aMarine (1273) • United States 24 Jul 07

I took a pregnancy test today and it's positive! :) I used the Clear Blue one that has the words "Pregnant" or "Not Pregnant". It's so easy to use and so much easier to tell the results. I hate the tests that use the lines. With...

Crack Babies, how many should a woman be allowed to have?

gypsylady28 @gypsylady28 (945) • United States 4 May 07

A friend of mine at work has a sister who is addicted to drugs. She is in and out of jail at various times, and she has also now had 3 babies who were addicted to drugs when they were born. She has 4 children all together, and...

aprilblues76 I think that a woman who has a drug addiction should either be court-ordered to use a form of birth control or have a tubal ligation. I know in this day and age, that It would never become legal, but it is my personal belief.

Did your babies have hair or were they bald at birth?

foxyfire33 @foxyfire33 (10005) • United States 12 May 07

I was looking through pictures of my littles ones and it made me wonder how it was in other families. All of mine have had not much more than fuzz (if that) at birth and didn't really have a "full head of hair" until they were...

aprilblues76 All three of my kids had a headful of hair when they were born! My first two had coal black hair. My last baby that I just had in Feb. had a brownish blond color with even some red tints. It must be rare to have babies with tons of hair, because I get comments...

Do Other People Tell Your Child/ren What To Do?

aprilblues76 @aprilblues76 (23) • United States 16 May 07

My neighbors are constantly trying to tell my children what to do. Especially, if I am not around. I figure they have enough bosses, they don't need the neighbors ordering them around. I am not talking about important things...

nica269 @nica269 (1395) • United States 9 May 07

I was 3 months short of turning 29. A bit later than what I would have liked, but it wasn't my call, it was God's. How old were you? Or how old will you be?

aprilblues76 I just gave birth to our 3rd in February. I think the worse part of that pregnancy was the nausea and having a hard time sleeping towards the end. I strongly suggest getting a body pillow. They work wonders!!

aprilblues76 It doesn't bother me. I just see it as them doing their job. I haven't seen anyone making a huge display of it yet. I also have never seen anyone check $1 bills. That would be funny.

coolseeds @coolseeds (3919) • United States 16 May 07
