Thank you everyone. My beautiful mother in law passed away yesterday, in the arms of her loving family.

We have been taking our son to visit her regularly over the last 6 weeks, in hospice. We...

My beautiful mother in law has just been moved to palliative care and we've been told that she has between 1 and 4 weeks to live.

My son is 3 years and 8 months old and is very, very close her....

Good news. We have an appointment to get a new will done tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. I got quite upset about it the other night and he assured me that he will get a new will made up this week.

Fr Chuck, he doesn't have any other children. He has never been married...

My partner is too lazy to change his will, even though he has been saying he will change it ever since our first son was born almost 4 years ago. He does have a will but it was written before he met...

Does anyone here wish for something that they don't have?

I sometimes do. I have only had two partners and both of them have been nice guys but both of them also cheated on me. Sometimes I would...

I am currently pregnant with my second child and am having a home birth. I am writing my birth plan out atm and I'm trying to find out some information about breastfeeding a toddler during labour. My...

Alcohol doesn't remain in breastmilk. Alcohol levels in breastmilk are at the same level as your blood alcohol level so as your blood alcohol level, drops, so does the level in your breastmilk. As...

My dishwasher is not draining. It goes through the cycles but at the end of the wash, all the dirty water is still sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher.

Could this just be a blockage or...

I haven't spoken to a paediatrician. In Australia, GPs are the first point of consultation for a child. Paediatricians are specialists and only seen if the GP refers a child for a condition or...

My 2 year old son has never been sick until now but since yesterday, his temperature has been between 38.6 and 39.6 degrees Celsius. His normal basal temperature is 36.5. He has also come down with...

Unfortunately I got my period back 6 weeks post birth despite breastfeeding between 12-20 times a day so yep, it could be your period.

Jenni this has happened so often. In Australia they are not allowed to give formula to babies in hospital now without written consent. I do hope that next time you get the right support. Definitely...

Unfortunately many people think it looks weird simply because not many women breastfeed their babies past 6 months, let alone 2 years. I really hope this changes. Worldwide, the average age of...

Fantastic news! Congratulations!

Yes Maccaroni I am planning on tandem feeding. I am hoping to breastfeed both children until at least 3 years old so will be feeding both together for at least a year. I have never found...

You can't really expect to see a heartbeat until at least 7-8 weeks gestation. I will never understand why doctors do ultrasounds on women so early in their pregnancy unless an ectopic pregnancy is...

Hi. Obviously check with your surgeon but I have a friend who had her umbilical hernia repaired a few years ago and she is currently 36 weeks pregnant. She says it is quite uncomfortable because her...

Thanks so much everyone!

My son is 22 months old and I am currently in the first trimester. He still breastfeeds around 10 times a day and I'm a bit worried about my supply dropping as my pregnancy progresses. Has anyone...

Has anyone here had a homebirth? I am currently 8 weeks pregnant and have an appointment with my midwife in 4 weeks time. I am planning a homebirth. My son is currently 22 months old and I birthed...

Thanks. I take good care of myself so hopefully I'll be okay. I take pregnancy and breastfeeding vitamins as well as eat good organic foods, no junk :).

Yep I have my first appointment with my midwife in a about 4 weeks time. I will talk to her about the breastfeeding when I see her but hopefully some others here may have breastfed while pregnant.

He isn't ready to wean because just isn't, he is still quite dependent on it. It's really important to breastfeed for as long as possible and I really want to get to at least 2 years as that is what...

Hi all.

I am currently breastfeeding my 22 month old son and have just found out that I am pregnant. Has anyone breastfed through a pregnancy and is it safe to do so? My son is nowhere near ready...

Omg I could have written that myself!

I have been through the almost exact experience and YES your boyfriend is a sex addict. Try to move on with your life because his sex addiction will destroy...

18 is old enough to know better. You deserve whatever punishment the court decides to give you regardless of legal representation.

Learn your lesson and become a better member of society but you...

My son is 9 weeks old and I have booked him in to have his first lot of childhood vaccinations on Friday. Today I developed mastitis and started taking the antibiotic dicloxacillin. I am already...

Anyway, I am in Australia where only 5% of boys are circumcised. The United States is the only country in the world with such a high rate of circumcision. It is an uneccessary, cruel and barbaric...

Yes

Thanks for your response J but the reason I wanted to find out about what I have to do to legally stop the procedure is because my partner has found a private clinic to take my son to in order to...

Thanks for your advice. I will contact a lawyer immediately to organise this.

Thanks for your response. He is neither jewish nor muslim.

I have been told that the doctor will perform the procedure without my consent as they only need the consent of one parent. Is this...

Hello.

My baby boy is being born next week and my partner is adamant that he will be circumcised (something that I am absolutely against happening). As it turns out, my partner does not need to...

Thanks nautical. I have already spoken to them with him and even though they said that circumcision was not routine and also not necessary, he is still adamant about finding a doctor to do it so I...

Thanks everyone for your answers and advice. I really didn't think they could do it unless they had my permission. Now I know otherwise, I will get some sort of legal advice to see if I can stop him...

No we are not married and I will leave my partner if needs be to protect my son from having the procedure. I can't believe that they would circumcise a baby unless the mother agreed to it

Does anyone know if it is possible for the father of a baby boy to have him circumcised without the mother's permission?

Thanks buggage. I am definetely following all of my doctors orders. I was just worried to get such a serious diagnosis as a placental abruption. I did read that straining can occasionally cause blood...

Hi. There is a chance that you could be pregnant even if he did not ejaculate inside you. Please take a pregnancy test and educate yourself about safer sex practices.

Hello. I am 25 weeks pregnant. On Friday night after straining during during a bowel movement, I had some slight vaginal bleeding/spotting. I went into the emergency room and they did vaginal...

It is possible to become pregnant if ejaculate is on the fingers and they are then inserted inside the vagina. It seems unlikely though in your situation. Sperm does not live for long outside of the...

Hello. At 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant, I went for my prenatal appointment and my fundal height measured 25cm. The consultant and midwive didn't say anything about it being so large for my dates but...

Thanks for your responses everyone. I am feeling much more comfortable knowing that many of you went on to have healthy children after experiencing no morning sickness. I am much more relaxed now....

Hello.

I am about 7 weeks pregnant with my first child. I have not experienced any morning sickness. The only symptoms I have are very sore breasts and mild cramping.

Many people are telling me...

When people are clearly doing the wrong thing rajee, they are leaving themselves open to criticism by others. Whilst I realise that you are here to ask for help, people who choose to become involved...

Yes it is wrong rajee and I have strong negative feelings about people who choose to become involved with married or partnered people. He is also a weak person for betraying his wife. If he is...

I have an orange tree that is about 2 yrs old. Whilst whipper snippering on the weekend, I almost totally ring barked it... not very deep but there is only few small areas where the cord didn't cut...

Yes tal I know where you are coming from but sometimes I really don't think that people want to hear who is right or wrong... they just want support with what they are going through. They just want...
