A member asked:

Is there any reason to tell a guy i am pregnant if i barely know him and plan to raise the baby myself?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Each state has different laws regarding paternity. While you may not imagine needing child support at this time, it may be an issue in the future. Also, rules regarding parental rights differ in each state.

A member asked:

I've been getting hives for the past two weeks. Sometimes they're red spots, sometimes just raised. They occasionally start to itch. I don't notice them because they don't start itching until there's new flare ups. I can't seem to find the reason why?
