Pregnancy & Parenting - 17 July 2006

I am looking for some type of birth control method and my doctor mentioned the IUD method. It sounds perfect for me ... but would really like to hear what you have to say... how you feel about it.. or if you have any other type of birth control method that you think might work better.

For the IUD I'd like to know: Does it hurt bad when it's inserted? Once it's in there do you feel anything? Are your periods completely gone? and do you really think it's reliable?

I start in the morning out of bed by drinking 2 glasses of water. Then for breakfast I either have a bowl of whole grain cereal with Total, Raisin Bran, Grapenuts, and a cup of tea with ginger or a cup of coffee with milk. If I dont have the cereal, I will eat a banana and small apple for breakfast with the coffee and go to work at like 8:15. I try to eat a few saltines by 11:30 if i feel nauseasou. But I do drink another glass of water.
At 12:30 I come home for lunch and either eat a cup of Breyers fruit yogurt and one slice of whole grain bread. Then i drink another glass of water. In the middle of lunch and dinner, i snack on a few more saltines if want, or may sip a little of gingerale At dinner time around 7 I eat chicken nuggets, grilled chicken and rice, or some kind of chicken so I get my protein along with carrot sticks sometimes or just the chicken itself with rice is fine.
Is this a healthy diet? I am also taking the Flinstones complete multivitamin. Do you

I am so sick of seeing these stupid *** ladies (usually Causcasion) that lock the door if I get too near their car but let their children embarrass the hell out of them at the store. I just left Walmart and watched this three year old take a belt and strike his mother. She just took the belt said no and he started screaming. If I would have done that my mother would have beat my ***!

What are the best "little white lies" your parents told you, when you were a little kid? And how did you react when you finally figured out that you'd been tricked?

When I was little, maybe 5 or 6, my parents told me that if I told a lie, it would make my forehead change color. I couldn't see it, but grownups could. I even tried telling myself a lie while looking in a mirror, but of course I couldn't see the color change! Of course, I eventually learned that my forehead NEVER changed color, and that my parents could just read my "body language".

Funniest part of all: my sister is married and has 3 little boys (one's just a few months old, the middle one's 3 years old, and the oldest is almost 6). One day, when I was visiting them, my sister asked my oldest nephew something (had he hit his little brother, etc). My nephew COVERED HIS FOREHEAD and replied, "no, mommy." I laughed like crazy, because my sister had obviously used the same trick on my nephew!

She is very shy and doesn't interact w/ people that much. So, we thought school may be beneficial for her in terms of socializing inthe outside world. She does talk and play and does many other things at home with us. We don't have family here and can't visit friends all the time. So, she doesn't get to see/meet/interact w/ people that much; in a way she sees her parents and babysitter only -- not even a babysitter anymore for mom is home for a couple of months now. When I leave her in the morning, she cries and holds on to me, and I wonder if I am putting her through a lot and maybe she is not ready for school yet. What should I do? Any suggestions? Thank you everyone for your responses/thoughts.

I read that "It will likely take several months for your body to resume ovulation and a normal menstrual cycle after stopping your oral contraceptives, which means you probably won't get pregnant right away. " I am thinking about trying to get pregnant next month after my next period. What have you experienced first using the pill and then going off trying to get pregnant? I was told that all I would have to do is stop taking my pill. Reading the above kinda bummed me out...help....

My two year old is now the king of whine. He whines about EVERYTHING. What creative things have you done to get your young toddler to stop whining? (Spanking is NOT an option; time out has already run its course and doesn't work anymore... and my patience is running out too :)

my daughter is 15 months old. she has extremely fair skin and gets hot very quickly. i have darker skin and have never had to be so wary of the sun, so this is all new to me. i give her several baths through out the day to keep her cool. lots of water for hydration. stay inside or in shady places if out. she can get hot to the touch and listless. i've taken her to the doctors before worried that she was in danger but they keep telling me she's fine and to "keep her cool."
anyone have any good ideas?

I breastfeed my 14mth old at night to relax her and get her to sleep, but I am constantly being pressurised by older relatives to stop. Is there anyone else in the same position? How do you cope with it?
I know that I'm supposed to be in charge of this, but it makes me feel sad that others don't want me to do the best i can for my daughter.
I was just wondering if anyone else is in the same 'boat'
