For the last week I have been having a dull pain in my lower back,it never goes away. For the last 24 hours every so often it gets stronger and goes towards the front. The babies head is pushing down so hard sometimes I feel like she is just going to push herself out. Has anyone ever had this? It is new to me and I have 3 kiddos.

I was watching the news and seen where a school bus ran off the road and several kids feel out of their seats,no injuries thank god,is it just me or do you think their should be seat belts on buses? I mean had there been seat belts those children would not have feel out of their seats. Anyone agree?

I have 3 girls and one on the way. My husband has 2 girls from a previous marriage that live in another state. He is really hurting that we are expecting another girl. I really don`t want any more children and am planning on getting tubes tied when I have my baby. He has mentioned a few times he still really wants a boy,what do I do,or what would you do if you were me?

Need some advise, my husband has recently found out he has another child. She is 4 yrs old and lives in another state. Every since this has become really hard on him and I feel sorry for him. They are now taking 600 a month out of his check for childsupport. Not counting the extra they take out for back pay. Had he known about her he would have been there from the begining. I feel their figures are way to high for one kid and I don`t think he should pay back pay on a child he was unaware of til now. Anyone have any thoughts on the situation?

I have had a couple of polls up on baby names, it seems no matter what I like my husband doesn`t. It is really driving me nuts! I thought we were set on Madyson but he only agreed to that because I liked it. I don`t want it to be like that. Anyone else have this problem and how are you solving it. Anyone have any ideas??

I need some advise,my 6 yr olds dad was in a motorcycle accident a few days ago. He is beat up so bad you can`t reconize him. He is going to be ok and he has been so mean and nasty towards me which is not him, we normally get along great. Anyway he wants her up at the hospital. I don`t feel she needs to go up there. She is overly emotional and sensitive. I know it will hurt her to see her daddy like that. My family feel the same way and his mom does also. I had surgery about a month ago and it broke her little heart. What do you think?

Ok this might sound silly,but I went to the doctor today because I had a gush of fluid and I am 18 weeks pregnant. It did it twice and was clear. It scared me. Well turns out it was from the baby kicking my blatter. Basically I peed myself..lol Doctor said it is normal and I did the right thing by coming in. I have had 3 children and have never had this happen. Has it happened to anyone else and did you feel as stupid as I did when they told you it was urine?
