Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 July 2006

My husband is deployed and I have no family here. My closest family is over 500 miles away. They said they would come up here, but now say they can't (I expected this from them). I have no one here to help me, and I will be at the hospital by myself, and will probably have to drop off my 2 year old at the caregivers while driving myself to the hospital in labor. I will also probably have to carry the newborn out, in a carseat, with all our bags and everything else from the hospital because this military hospital doesn't believe in wheeling pain ridden, fresh from childbirth women out of the hospital. What can I do, I am scared and worried.

I wanted to breastfeed my first child, but after I had him, my milk still hadn't come in, so there was nothing for him when he tried. It came in 3 days later, but by then he was on the bottle and attached. I am due to give birth any day now and my milk still hasn't come in, and I would really like to breastfeed. No leakage of colostrum, no soreness, nothing. I had my first by csection, and will try a vbac with this one. Will this make a difference, and if it doesn't, what can I do?

I have been weaning her from the breast for a week and a half . We went down from 6 -8 feedings a day to 2 a day . I think she is angry with me . Sometimes when she pinches or bites me I have discovered that she needs a diaper change , other times I can't find anything she needs or wants . At times I am even on the floor playing with her when she strikes ! I know this could just be a phase....... I have started putting her in time out for 30 seconds to 1 minute . sometimes she just does it again right away .
My daughter is very prococious , smart , and very advanced for her age . She has NEVER done any of these things when we are out of the house . I am a full time stay at home Mom , so we are at the park and library a lot. She gets plenty of fresh air daily . I'm at a loss of what to do . Does she just not like being at home ? Any ideas ? Help !

Okay I am breast feeding my 9 month old. After I had her I didnt have my period for 4 months. Then after that I have had very regular periods. Now I am a couple days late. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it showed negative. I have had really bad cramping for about a week and half. I never cramp until the day of my period and it so bad that I always vomit. This would be if I am pregnant my 3rd so you would think I would know, but apparnetly I just a little stupid. So if you have any good advice please answer my question.

I am going to a baby shower and I need a gift. The parents do not know the gender so I need a gift that works for both girl and boy. What should I get?
P.S I do not want to buy clothes for the baby because I know that she will already get alot of clothes.

My miracle baby is now 3 and i had my tube burnt so no more babies, but i wonder about having more, i am only 27 and i only have 1. He his the greatest love of my life, my husband says he doesn't want anymore, (his 11 yr old daughter lives with us) but he brought up first about 6 mos ago. I don't know if i want another one or if I want mine to remain a baby. I know it doesn't work like this, but i can't imagine loving another child as much as i live my son. After all he is my miracle baby. Ovarian cancer twice, cervial cancer once. THe odds are slim to none once again, but should we talk about our options or just leave it as it is?

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I woke up today and my eyes were kind of swollen, later in the day my legs became swollen and also my feet. My ankles have been swollen before but not like this. I have also gained 5 pounds since yesterday. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

She insists on her mom filling feed bags with cereal and popcorn and strapping them to her face at meals. This is hard to explain when company is over. She also begs her brother to sit on her back so she can take him to places around the house. At first we didn't pay much attention, until she cried and cried because we wouldn't allow her to **** in the backyard. She draws pictures of "herself" and says her real name is Nellie. We're sick of her answering us by whinnying. Is this acceptable or is she just a little freak?
