They say that you should avoid laying on your back because it can decrease the blood flow to the placenta which can affect the baby. You can put a pillow behind you when you sleep to prevent rolling over and laying flat on your back.

Why do men not have respect for women who carry their babies for 9 months?

Q: Well, I hope this format better suits the Yahoo community guidelines – however, I can’t imagine they deleted my rant/question – I’m pretty sure it was someone who felt it necessary because what I wrote touched them personally and they could not handle themselves. I have been through this system, watched my ex go down in flames trying to win custody – and I ended up with sole custody. He ended up w/ supervised visitation. Why? Because it was obvious to the court he had no intention of supporting a relationship between child and mother. Men think that they, with their lawyers, can walk into a courtroom, lay down the most disgusting untrue allegations and they will walk out with custody, no support payments, and they and their families will never again have to deal with the crazy woman who sacrfised her time and body for 9 months. What is hilarious is that the judge has seen and heard all of it before – and they know what these men are trying to do – not have to pay support. Many “dad’s rights” sites advocate obtaining custody for this reason alone – I don’t get it – a child is more than 30% of your income (as one man put it – who was upset he had to shell out 30%). Do these men and their families not realize they wouldn’t have this baby if not for the woman they now despise. That by calling her a prostitute or drug addict, they are actually making their son, brother, etc. look bad? They are saying, “hey look, my son has great taste in women! Not only did he date, he got pregnant a drug addict and prostitute!” Do these people not realize that the woman’s OB most likely checked for illegal drugs during and after the 9 months – most babies are checked automatically – are they that oblivious to the real world? I find it sad that when a woman tries to initiate a loving relationship between son and father, father turns around and and slanders her in hopes of not paying child support. What’s even worse is the lawyers.. .Honestly, don’t you guys see that these lawyers could care less about you? The more motions you make, the more money you shell out – which is all they care about! It doesn’t affect them one iota for you to win or lose custody. And in fact, the more you win, the less they make – so they want you to lose! And try, try again. Can’t you see this? Judges are judges for a reason – because they are not stupid and use great discretion. They don’t believe for a second you would date, let alone get pregnant, a drug addict and prostitute – they know you are full of it. THey have seen it plenty. THey only see this as a sign that you, not the mother, are emotionally unstable adn not willing to facilitate any close relationship – also, putting “please discontinue my child support” at the end of your motion doesn’t help much either!So, my question to you all is – why not just try to get along with the other parent? It saves time and money in the long run. Because after all is said and done, you must deal with this person for 18 years – and you will only look a fool when you lose custody (like my ex did) and you have to face her, and she knows you lied your bum off. Do you think your lawyer is losing any sleep over my ex losing all custody? A big fat NO! And he still got paid, regardless of the outcome. Lawyers will egg you on – my ex’s accused me of drug use to the point of asking for a hair follicle when all my urine came back negative – the judge said, “fine, I’ll have her do one, but you are, too – and you’re paying for both – if she fails she can reimburse you.” Well, guess what – both were negative and he was out $1500! And his lawyer made money on the motion and on his time in court. Next came a private detective – which produced nothing. I called and asked their hourly rate – they charge $100/hr w/ a minimum of 5 hrs a day and 3 days a week – i assume he spent close to 10K on that! And I knew I was being followed the whole time. So, what is the point? All this seems pretty fruitless to me – especially when both parents can sit down and realize they don’t get along, but they can co-parent. Well, now that option is out the window. My ex’s familiy, who had a hand in this, also cannot see their grandson, nephew, bc he is not allowed to bring them to supervised visits. So, they all lose.So, men, why must you go to these lengths to bash a person whom you once had a relationship with? Were close enough to get her pregnant and now she is a piece of trash to you? Well, I can tell you karma always bites you in the rear – so unless the mother is a completely unfit loser, you aren’t gonna win. P.S. it is a fact that 90% of unwed mothers retain custody. It is also a fact, although I don’t know the number, that more women than men WIN custody – look it up, I’m sure you won’t find anything to the contrary. The last thing that bugs me – why do men consider it such a travesty to pay child support? Don’t they realize that women pay just as much if not more, plus have to raise the kidsPlease excuse my typo – of course YOUR lawyer is not losing sleep over my ex losing custody – I meant my ex’s lawyer. Also, my last bit got cut off – I am paid $700/mo in child support and daycare costs $650/mo – obviously women pay a lot, too – a lot more than you think. Most men who get the every other weekend, or even every weekend visit schedule, still get 4 weeks a month, plus (if every other) 2 weekends – and what do you think mom gets? We sacrifise a lot more than you realize.And please, to those who always wish to state the obvious, I am not talking about all men. I know some are good – just not the one I’ve dealt with – and from what I have seen in court, and researched on the net, and read personal stories of – many men are like this, and you know who gets hurt in the long run? Not you, not mom, the child! So, smarten up! Stop treating these women, who you once were initimate with, like money-guzzlers. It’s not our fault you have to pay support – and trust me, there are times I wish I paid just so I can have some free time – bc that is what you are really paying for – free time.Dear Nisar: thank you for your typical response – you are exactly the type of man I am speaking of. I wish, wish, wish I could sit on my “ass” all day! But I go to university and work full time – hense needing daycare – perhaps that might have clicked in your brain if larger than the size of a pea – why would I need daycare if I sat at home all day? Where do you think the rest of the money comes from? Your measley child support payments don’t cover the amount needed for daycare, food, diapers, clothing, etc. Like I said, typical man, typical douchebag.

A: Well, I’m glad you calmed down a little since yesterday. I thought you were going to have an aneurysm. He’s wrong. You know he’s wrong. We know he’s wrong. Sounds like it was decided in your favor. Now you have to do what you advise yourself. Get along for your child’s sake. It isn’t like this for all couples who split. My ex and I get along perfectly. I went through some hard things and he supported me. I always back him up with the kids. They never divide us. Look for a good guy next time around. They exist.

When do you need to start asking for a prenatal massage?

Q: I am only 7 weeks pregnant. I usually get a deep tissue massage about once a month. Is this still safe? Or do I have to get a prenatal massage? I don’t know if a prenatal massage is special because women with big, pregnant bellies can’t lay on their back/stomach or if they are special for another reason.This might sound like a dumb question… that’s why I wanted to bring it up here instead of at the massage clinic! 🙂

A: Congratulations! I am a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist who has specialized in prenatal and postnatal massage for 8 years. Pregnancy affects every organ and system of the body – digestive, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine. It is important to work with a qualified therapist who knows which techniques are indicated or contraindicated for each stage of pregnancy. I recommend finding a therapist who specializes in pregnancy massage. A competent pregnancy massage therapist will also be a valuable referral source for local services/providers related to pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.

Why can’t I have a baby?

Q: So lately I’ve been feeling really down. About a year and a half ago, I got pregnant and was extremely happy about it. I went to my ex’s house when I was 4 1/2 mos to get some of my stuff that I had left after moving out of my home. He had taken my car, my game systems, my guitars, and all of my dvds. He was very abusive which was the reason I had left. I had endured 2 years of getting beaten up and finally had the will to leave. Well me coming back for my stuff made him angry and when he found out I was pregnant it made him even more so. He ended up beating me up and I lost the child. I’m still getting over the loss of my baby. Back in July, I got pregnant again, and I was so happy about it but my boyfriend wasn’t. He kept trying to convince me to get an abortion and honestly thats not in the cards for me. I’m pro-choice but it’s not for me. Especially when I want a kid. My friend and I were so excited. She had just had her baby and we were already making plans for play dates. She encouraged me while my boyfriend didn’t support the idea. He said he wouldn’t leave me over it, but he just didn’t think it would be a good idea. He has a 3 year old son with another woman (who is crazy so I thought maybe he was thinkin I would become like her). And then when I was 10 1/2 weeks pregnant, we ended up getting into a huge argument over weather I should keep it or not and I ended up getting extremely upset to the point where I was throwing up. Then I ended up getting this really sharp pain in my abdominal area and it would only go away when he touched it. He kept his hand on it long enough for me to fall asleep. I woke up later that night in a lot of pain. And when I sat up, I noticed I was laying in a puddle of blood. I couldn’t help but scream and cry. Not only cuz I was in pain, but because I wanted this baby so bad. It made me feel horrible to see the look of relief on my boyfriend’s face as I was telling him and crying really hard. I’ve just started to come to terms with a second loss, but something keeps eating at me thats unavoidable. All of my girlfriends are having their kids or are pregnant. What’s so wrong with me that I can’t have a kid. I’m financially ready and very emotionally ready for one. Why is it that all of my friends can have kids but I can’t. I want a kid so bad and it tares me up. I want to get pregnant with my boyfriend but he doesn’t want kids right now. He told me he wanted to wait about 3 more years but he doesn’t understand how bad I want kids and how much I’m hurting right now. I don’t say anything about it to him because I don’t want him getting mad. What should I do? Why can’t I have kids like everyone else?

A: First of all you need to find a real man that loves you and supports you no matter what! Where are you meeting these guys? Have some self respect and dignity to find a man that deserves you and that could actually be someone you would want to marry and have be the father of your child. It seems you are going about this a bit backwards. Find a good man, get married, then have a baby in a loving happy home. The life you are living now seems very stressful and full of ups and downs without the security of a loving husband and father. Find someone who deserves you!
