    He has no idea I'm coming. I was thinking I would surprise him at home! I hope his wife doesn't get upset. She got really emotional last time. He and I are meant to be. Why can't she just accept this fact and get out of our way already??

    My friend Kim, and I have been friends for about a year now. When we first met she was flirting with me, she was twirling her hair, smiling and laughing at my jokes. Someone said that I think Kim likes me. I didnt belive them. She was always smiling at me in Chem labs. When I held study sessions, she always came even though she was a Chem major, she always smiled at me, and twirled her hair. I was distracted. I gave her a cupcake she smiled. Then we lost contact, and regained it in the summer, we texted all summer long. I was working, and she "boooo" ed me. She also told me she had a bf, and I was kinda bummed out. Then the fall semester came, and she smiled at me when she saw me. She told me she had to go to her bf's boss's wedding, the day after I saw her she looked like a wreck. Then, her roomy came by, and said Kim misses me. She said that I should text Kim, and that I should come visit her. 3 weeks ago, I saw Kim, she smiled at me, and I said we should hangout sometime. She always complains she is too busy. She smiles and waves at me when she says goodbye. Then, yesterday I saw her, she gave me a brief smile, not as big as normal, and I invited her to the movies. She never showed up. I did not specify a time though, perhaps that is why. My friends thought Kim likes me, but she seems to be hot and cold about me. My girlfriends also suggested she may like me, but has feelings for her bf as well. What can I do to better my friendship with Kim? I told hler yesterday that I missed her, and she should come over and watch a movie, but never showed up? Did I saw something wrong? Please tell me what to do? I dont want to lose a good friend? I want to be there for her always. I love her. One the other hand, she needs to quit playing games with my heart. She needs to choose either him or me. Im 19 and never kissed a girl. I was always waiting for the right girl. I think she may be it. She needs to quit playing with my emotions, I am going to get hurt by her. She is hot and cold. I dont get her. She is still with her bf. I NEED TO TELL HER TO CHOOSE EITHER HIM OR ME? I CANT STAND HER PLAYING WITH MY EMOTIONS ALL THE TIME! IF SHE CHOOSES HIM, I HOPE SHE GETS HURT LIKE THE WAY SHE HURTS ME. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK OF HER. I THOUGHT SHE LIKED ME, BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG! WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    he acts like a child again and expects you to take care of him. Leaves his dishes around the house, his clothes all over the floor, doesn't help with the kids, doesn't do yard work, dishes, laundry, and you can't leave for a few hours because you will come home and he hasn't taken care of anything while you were gone?

    I'm married, and so is my friend. Sometimes we go out for a drink or lunch or something. My husband always knows were I am and who I am with. Recently, I heard my friend on the phone with his wife saying he was with someone else and going somewhere else. I'm not telling any lies, but I guess he is. Am I doing anything wrong? It made me sad that his wife doesn't recognize our friendship. I know her and he knows my husband. I have known both him ad his wife for 15 years--that's before they got together. The 4 of us have spent plenty of time together over the years. She and I have also been out for drinks together.

10 Things You Don’t Have to Worry About When You’re Pregnant

Worrying may be as much a part of pregnancy as the proverbial cravings for pickles and ice cream, but here are a few worries you can scratch off your list right way.

By Ann Douglas

- I’m worried that my morning sickness is depriving my baby of vital nutrients.

You don’t have to hit the panic button if you’re not able to stomach anything more exotic than soda crackers and dry toast. Garden-variety morning sickness is generally nothing to worry about because your body is able to draw upon its nutrient stores. If you become dehydrated, start losing weight, are ill for an extended period of time, or are an insulin-dependent diabetic, however, there could be cause for concern, and you’ll want to your doctor right away.

- I’m worried that having sex will hurt the baby.

Sex is considered to be perfect safe for most couples who are experiencing low-risk pregnancies. Your doctor is only likely to tell you to dose the flames of passion if you’re experiencing vaginal bleeding, if you have been diagnosed with placenta previa, if your membranes have ruptured, or if you have a history of preterm labor and delivery.

- I’m worried that the dose of acetaminophen I took last week may have been harmful to my baby.

Pregnancy doesn’t have to be a nine-month-long exercise in martyrdom. It’s okay to wave the white flag and take the odd dose of acetaminophen if you’re experiencing a killer headache. If you’re concerned about the risks posed by a particular medication, it’s best to check with your doctor or pharmacist before you take the medication. You’ll save yourself a lot of after-the-fact worrying.

- I’m tripped and fell earlier today. I’m worried that I may have hurt my baby.

Unless you landed directly on your abdomen, chances are your baby is fine. Your body is designed to provide a great deal of protection for your baby. In general, there’s little cause for concern unless you experience vaginal bleeding or the loss of amniotic fluid. Of course, if you experience a more serious fall or are involved in a car accident, it’s best to err on the side of caution and seek out medical attention.

- Is it really safe to exercise during pregnancy? I can’t help worrying that exercising may be harmful to my baby.

Most women who are experiencing low-risk pregnancies can safely continue with their pre-pregnancy workout regime. Remaining physically active can, in fact, reap tremendous dividends for both mother and baby. Of course, women who are experiencing certain types of pregnancy complications or who are at risk of experience preterm labor may be advised to put their workout plans on hold until after the delivery. In this case, you’ll want to follow your doctor’s recommendations.

- I’m worried about flying during pregnancy.

Flying is considered safe during pregnancy provided that the airplane cabin is pressurized. You will, however, want to get up and walk around or to move your legs at regular intervals to prevent blood clots from forming in your legs. One other important point with regard to air travel: Don’t be surprised if the airline asks you to produce a note from your doctor indicating that you’re not due to deliver in the next six weeks. Most airlines are understandably reluctant to get into the mid-air delivery business!

- Should I stop using the computer while I’m pregnant? I’m worried that doing so may be harmful to my baby.
