I see all the time, when people ask questions about abortion in the Pregnancy question, there is a HUGE tendency for them to get flamed and called “insensitive” for putting there question there.

I don’t get that– I mean, I agree that it would be insensitive to put it in the “trying to concieve” section, but these are just in the general “Pregnancy” section. Since Yahoo refuses to give abortion its own section within Pregnancy, where do you think someone should ask a (practical) question about abortion?

*By “practical”, I mean something like- what should i expect from the procedure? is this normal afterwards?
Boy#4: “Some of the women in here have tried to have a baby for a long time and are having complications and are scared they will lose the very baby they tried so hard to have.”
That is the point I am arguing against, I guess I might rephrase the question as “Why do many TTCers seem to believe the pregnancy category was created only to serve them?”
BabyMama: “I think that a sub section of “Child Loss” should be created in Y!answers for abortion and miscarriage issues.”

Don’t you think that women who have had spontaneous abortions (miscarriage) of a wanted pregnancy would be even MADDER about abortion questions than TTCers?
To those getting ready to say “women’s health”– Why? Abortion is a termination of pregnancy, why is women’s health better (other than the reactions of those who choose to read questions that they know will upset them)?

Ok, so in Might, I think me and an ex bf of mine conceived, I took a check and I got a faint optimistic, so, I got a period but it was just spotting, a couple of months later, I started with the morning sickness and the tenderness of the breast, and so on. 1 issue that arose in me, was the truth that my belly stayed regularly modest, just before this, my periods had been irregular and did not arrive on time, now it seems they are quite light and on the dot. for a excellent amount of months i felt all the movements and squirms, but for some purpose, I cannot bring myself to think I am pregnant in anyway whatsoever, I stopped feeling my movements, and at this point I’ve reached “the end point” of my “Pregnancy”, I feel its a hysterical Pregnancy, but everyone else about me can feel the “infant” move also, I tell them bowel movements, they say baby. I do recall seeing a foot shape pressing against my tummy, but I fail to convince myself. I am sick of becoming tugged back and forth, can any person aid me?
I am conscious that it has been seven months, and my stomach has grown really a lot, but nevertheless, I really feel like I’ve got a tiny belly

Planned Parenthood’s abortion quotas exposed
Ex-director: We’d have client goal every month

A former director of a Texas Planned Parenthood branch who resigned after she watched an ultrasound-guided abortion told that the clinic was pushing employees to strive for abortion quotas to boost profits.

“There are definitely client goals,” former clinic director Abby Johnson said. “We’d have a goal every month for abortion clients and for family planning clients.”

Johnson, 29, said the Bryan, Texas, Planned Parenthood clinic performed surgical abortions every other Saturday, but it began expanding access to abortion to increase earnings.

“One of the ways they were able to up the number of patients that they saw was they started doing the RU-486 chemical abortions all throughout the week,” she said.

RU-486 chemical abortions kill the lining of the uterus, cutting off oxygen and nutrients, resulting in the death of an unborn baby. Johnson said the chemical abortion costs the same as an early first-trimester abortion: between $ 505 and $ 695 for each procedure.

She told that the clinic was experiencing financial difficulties due to the economic downturn.

“Abortion is the most lucrative part of Planned Parenthood’s operations,” she said. “Even though they’re two separate corporations, all of the money goes into one pot. With the family planning corporation really suffering, they depend on the abortion corporation to balance their budget, help get them out of the hole and help make income for the company.”

She continued, “They really wanted to increase the number of abortions so that they could increase their income.”

Now Planned Parenthood has retaliated against Johnson, filing a restraining order against her because the clinic fears she may leak confidential information.

The Brazos Valley Coalition for Life, a pro-life group that recently moved its headquarters several hundred feet away from the clinic, is named on the temporary restraining order as well. The injunction temporarily prevents her from releasing information until after a hearing scheduled for Nov. 10 in the 85th District Court.

Planned Parenthood claimed in court documents that Johnson copied private personnel files and other documents before she quit her position Oct. 6. The abortion provider’s lawyers expressed concern that Johnson would disclose client medical records, doctor information and clinic security procedures. The restraining order contends Planned Parenthood would be irreparably harmed by an information leak.

However, Johnson said, “I don’t have any confidential documents, so I’m not sharing anything because I don’t have anything. I have no patient information. I’d never do anything to compromise patient safety or confidentiality. For them to even make that type of statement is so offensive.”

Planned Parenthood of Southeast Houston released the following statement Oct. 30: “We regret being forced to turn to the courts to protect the safety and confidentiality of our clients and staff, however, in this instance, it is absolutely necessary.”

“Planned Parenthood is an organization that really runs on fear. If somebody crosses them, they are quick to threaten that person. I’ve worked for them for a long time and seen them threaten lawsuits multiple times,” she said. “I’m not sure what they’re scared of. When I first got the restraining order, I was so surprised. My initial response was, what do they think I know? What are they feeling guilty about?”

Asked whether she believes Planned Parenthood is concerned that information about its quotas will become public, Johnson responded, “Probably, yeah. I think they’re just scared of the whole thing.”

She said she believes the injunction is simply a scare tactic meant to keep her quiet.

“Clearly, that kind of backfired,” she said.

Johnson explained that she resigned after she saw an ultrasound-guided abortion in which an unborn baby was vacuumed out of a woman’s uterus.

“Ultrasound-guided abortions are not typically done in Planned Parenthood abortion centers because they’re more time-consuming, and that’s just not something that centers like that do,” she said. “I’d never seen one of those done before. For whatever reason, the physician had called me back to assist with the procedure. When I saw that, that was really when my heart was changed.”

Johnson, who was employed at the clinic for eight years and served as a director for two years, said the issue of abortion was “unsettling” for her the whole time she worked with Planned Parenthood. She said she kept “pushing down the guilt” and felt spiritual

A few months back, my mum had another baby, my little sister; and ever since then she hasnt been really nice to my 8 year old little brother. Ever since she had the baby, she has been shouting at him for nothing really, like, one day he came in from school and my mum was in the kitchen and she didnt know he was there and she steped backwards and nearly fell over him, so she shouted at him and slapped him on the face, and it turned out he only wanted to show her a certificate he got for being “pupil of the week” in his class … when she seen he only wanted to show her the certificate and after she seen how upset/scared he was, she tried to apoligize to him but he just walked away.

Another incident was, she promised she would buy him a sweet at the shop one day when they were walking up, but she rememered she had to buy diapers for my little sister, and when they got to the shop he asked “am i getting my sweet mum?” and she said no and he was like why?, so she got him by the wrist and said “becuase i dont have the money to buy you one” and then he said “but you promised me”, so she found that he was being cheaky, so she said “dont ******* push your luck with me” and squezed him by the wrist and then let him go, so he ran outside the shop and sat down outside. when she got out the shop she said, “right move now” and he said “no” so she warned him again and said “move!” and he didnt do it. so she grabbed him and, she said it was by accident which it probablly was, and he fell on the ground and grazed both of his knee caps.

after that, she seen he was hurt so she calmed down a little, and when they got home he had both very vig cuts in both his knee caps. so she cleaned them up and he didnt speak to her for the rest of the night, and when he did again, he got shouted at becuase she was busy with the baby.

I think she knows that she is upsetting him and making him scared of her, becuase when he went to bed one night, she came into our room (me and him share a room) and kissed him and said “goodnight darling”, so she doesnt hate him, but i dont think she knows what shes doing? I just stay out her way, cause im 14 and i know that shes stressed, but he doesnt cause hes younger.

i am asking this in the “Pregnancy” section cause id like to know what other pregnant ladys would do in this situation?

christmas day i will be 38 weeks, my partners family live 1 hour away from us/ my hospital, and im pretty sure they think we are going to be going to see them on christmas day, ( even tho i have never said that we will! ) but i have made it clear that i do NOT want christmas at our house this year. i have told my partner to say we are not going down on xmas day this year ( but he doesnt seem to want to do that )
i have spoken to my partner about what i think is a good ides for xmas : going to see his family the weekend “before” xmas.. he doesnt like that idea, but i just dont see any other way!

before anyone says im being selfish ,DONT…
his bro had moved 4 days before christmas last year, and they got us all to have xmas the weekend “after” xmas, coz they was to “tired”..
second baby, first labour was 6 hours

My idea is that a teenage girl who has never cared about what other people think about her begins to question herself when she fakes a Pregnancy and has to deal with the ripple affects of the “Pregnancy” including the perceptions of others. The reason she is faking a pregnancy is to take the attention and put it towards herself so that no one notices that her sister( the shyer of the two) is the one who is really pregnant as the result of a rape and so no one notices that her sister isn’t seen as much as she was before.

The story would be told from the perspective of the girl faking the pregnancy to show how she changes throughout her “pregnancy” from being very sure of herself to questioning herself because of the situation she is put in.

Also the sister faking the pregnancy was also abused when she was younger by someone that she knew, but never told anyone about it, and the reason she helps her sister is to help try to spare her from the anguish she went through after being abused. The fact that the sister faking the pregnancy was abused would be concealed from the reader and others until the end of the book when the fake pregnancy is revealed and the sister faking the pregnancy would finally tell the raped sister why she came up with the plan.

The sister going through the fake pregnancy would also be dealing with the fact that she finally finds a good guy when she is abandoned by her old friends and must decide whether or not to tell him about the plan and really show him the real her.

The sister faking the pregnancy would also fake the symptoms and wear pregnancy pillows to convince people she is pregnant.

Any ideas or thoughts on this idea? Would you read something like this or do you think that it is an interesting topic? Any comments or ideas are welcome.

So my sister and I was talking the other day and she asked me a good question that I’m still not really sure how to answer, She asked “Do you think you’ll ever get pregnant again or if you’ll just have Austin because of what happened with this Pregnancy?”

The details of this may take me a while because I want to give as much information as possible so that you may help me answer her question and well mine too…

I got pregnant in April 2009 and found out that I was pregnant May 22nd 2009. I didn’t end up seeing an OB until June, but before I had went to the OB I had ended up in the ER due to extreme pain in my lower stomach. I had informed the doctor that I was 14 weeks pregnant and he started feeling my belly and informed me that I must of had my dates wrong because my utrus was saying that I was more like 18 or 20 weeks pregnant. I informed him that was impossible. He said that I would have to wait a little while because they were going to have to call the on call ultrasound tech. (it was in the middle of the night and they had NO one there.)
She showed up 3 hours later and took me to the room where she does the ultrasounds and started my ultrasound and asked me if I had seen that, I wasn’t looking at the screen because I was afraid that she was going to tell me something was wrong with my baby, I told her I hadn’t seen anything and she told me to look at the screen better so I did and there were two things in there and I started freaking out and asked her what the hell was wrong with my baby because I had sense ultrasound photo’s and NONE of them looked like that, she said well then apparently you’ve never seen a twin ultrasound photo because sweetheart your having 2 babies.
I went to the OB the next day because they ER set me up with one of them that work there at the hospital….I told him and his nurse that i was having twins and they asked me what made me think that I and informed them the ultrasound the did at the ER of course. He didn’t even check to see he just called and asked the Tech she of course said yes and he didn’t even CHECK!
The next month he didn’t do an ultrasound just asked me how I was feeling checked my weight and sent me out the door. August he did a literally 3 second ultrasound and told me everything appeared to be okay and sent me out the door again. Sept. no ultrasound just weight check and asked how I felt and out the door. My next appointment wasn’t until the end of October and he did another 3 second ultrasound and told me that I was going to have to see a specialist, I asked if there was something wrong with the babies and he told me NO everything was normal that going to the specialist was normal during a twin Pregnancy and I didn’t need to worry. I didn’t get to see the specialist until November 1st When I got there the specialist told me that baby A was in trouble and that they were going to give me steriod shots in hopes of helping the other baby because sense my moronic OB hadn’t cought it soon enough there wasn’t much else they could do. They scheduled me another appointment for that Thursday because he told me that if the babies shape didn’t improve they would do an emergnency C~section and take both babies. When I went on Thursday he said baby a was doing a bit better and that he would NOT do the C~section because it would kill both babies because the NICU there “couldn’t” suppose babies that small (mind you according to them both of my babies were atleast 2 pounds.) I went into the specialist that following Monday and found out that baby A had died and that baby B was my little boy.
I went into labor at the beginning of my 33rd week because of them leaving my other baby inside of me after it had passed on. My son was life flighted to the closest NICU and stayed there for a month. He was in respitory distress and his heart wasn’t functioning and his blood gas levels weren’t stay were they were suppose too. They later found out he also has acid reflux. He came home and is still on oxygan and an apnea monito which still goes off 3 to 4 times a day because of him not breathing or not keep his heart rate up or both at the same time.
My questions are…..
Have any of you had to deal with the same thing?
Did you go ahead and get pregnant again?
How long did you wait? (Of course I’ll be waiting until I get married before I get pregnant again)
How did you deal with the lose of the other child?
When did your twin Pregnancy end?
Did you end up pregnant with twins again?
Twins run in my family, What are my chances of getting pregnant with twins again?

1.My GSD is five months old, My neighbors on each sides are tiny children. So they would take turns bothering him. Very first my one neighbor would take rocks (pebble like) and throw them at my dog or bring their cat out side and run towards my dog. My dog has a Quite good temperament and is constantly really calm close to young children because of my tiny sister, THE my other neighbors would run up to the dog, sort of Juping at him, and run back and do this the whole time, Or they would bring their dog outside understanding my dog doesnt like him and laugh when my dog barks. My neighbors across are elderly folks and they Always complain, I HATE taking the blame for my dog barking when its not even his fault. BTW: the parents are constantly outdoors also so i cantr “tell on them” what can i do?

2. Why do people always say to get dogs neutereed or spayed. My canine is not around nor will ever be all around female canines so i dont know why i usually get told to Fix him. I know its to keep away from a “Accidental Pregnancy” But im not planning on breeding or getting him about ANY females. Is there anything at all incorrect with acquiring a canine Not Fixed?

3.I walk my dog Twice a day (Morning and night) for about a hour every single time if not a lot more, but my step dad keeps telling me thats not sufficient. Is he proper?

4. Does “FLEA”shampoo impact a canines skin much more then Reg. Dog shampoo?
Could you wash a dog a lot more often with Reg. canine shampoo?
(Not like each day, but each other week)

Thanks. .

I dated an older woman earlier this year and then after a lot of promises I dumped her by saying I wasnt over my ex. She was devastated and said she would wait. I said no but then some weeks on I contacted her and stayed the night. I also asked to borrow a few thousand dollars as she has a good job. She said no and seemed stunned. I retaliated by telling her I’d met someone else anyway.

We got back in touch a few weeks later and at that point she had to take some blame for being so weak. I stayed round again, then dumped her by telling her I was now dating a new girl who my other ex used to hate me being friends with.

A few weeks back my ex told me she was pregnant and it was mine. I responded by saying a fight had left me infertile so it is not mine, and besides that I was now dating a stripper and had been for a year, meaning I had cheated on her. This was a lie.

She persisted with the Pregnancy thing and I kept telling her I can’t have kids, and to f off.

Finally today I told her I was lying about being infertile and had lied about the stripper, and I again asked her to borrow the money. She now replies by saying she invented the whole baby thing!

She said “now how does it feel to have the tables turned and be lied to for weeks?”

I have called her 100 times since I got that text but she turned off her phones.

Did I deserve this?.

A few weeks back my ex then told me she was pregnant and it was mine. I responded by saying a knife fight had left me infertile so it is not mine, and besides that I was now dating a stripper and had been for a year, meaning I had cheated on this girl. This was a lie. I also told her I was leaving the country. I sent the same message to her best friend on Fb.

She persisted with the Pregnancy thing and I kept telling her I can’t have kids, and to f-off.

Finally weeks later – today I told her I was lying about being infertile and had lied about the stripper, and I again asked her to borrow the money. SHOCKINGLY she now replies by saying she invented the whole baby thing!
