Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 July 2006

My daughter had her 12 month pediatric appt. today and she is in the 5th percentile for weight (17lbs 8oz.) and the 20th percentile for height (28inches). Other than giving her lots of cheese and whole milk, what are some other fattening (healthy) foods that I can give her?

Serious answers only please.

I am 18 yrs old n my period has never been regular. I made out on 20 June and my panty was on but our parts were wet(Only precum). I have not had period till now, I know I should get a test but I cant. Im not experiencing any 'symptopms' although I have put on slight weight and my lower abdomen has become slightly round. Please can you tell if this is possible? Dont tell me to go to a doctor or take a test..? I am dying of worry. Pls can doctors or experienced mothers only reply?

A little update: a couple of days ago, I asked for help about my girlfriend being in her 12th week of pregnancy. As you know she left me. Well we talked yesterday, she doesn't deny that she loves me and this is hard on her, but she says I changed since we found out she was having our child. Everyone I know says, I have matured and have a different look on my face. Now we both quit smoking the day we found out and for the 1st week it was unpleasant. But It as been alot better. I just know if this is all hormones. What do I do? I just don't know, I miss her and I think about everything I will miss. Most people tell me to call her every couple of days and let her know that I love her and I'm here for her if she needs me, what do you think? Also, should I call her mom and dad? I only met them 1 time. We just went to their house on vacation 2 weeks ago. Please help!!!

i had sex on the july 7th at 3:00 PM
the condom broke but my bf did not ejaculate at all
took plan b morning after pill july 8th at 3:30 PM (around 24 hrs)
my expected period should start on july 17th
i took a home pregnancy test for early results, indicating that i can test as early as 4 days before my expected period
the result was negative - not pregnant
but its the 19th and my period is late
should i try another pregnancy test? would i be pregnant?
or is it just side effects from plan b that causes irregular period?

So I have a really good guy friend...his g/f told him she was preggo so he proposed. Then all of a sudden she wasnt pregnant...no bleeding no cramping she just miraculously wasnt pregnant. Was she just saying that to get him to marry her or did she maybe have a false positive on the pregnancy test? I'm only asking because I am kinda worried about him marrying her! She's really scandalous!

Ok, this is my son's diet right now. He drinks one bottle early in the morning, eats a big bowl of cereal midmorning, drinks a bottle early in the afternoon about 1, eats 2 jars of baby food for supper, and drinks a bottle of milk with rice before bed. Is this a normal diet for a 7 month old? It seems to be working for us.

My periods have always been messed up but I have been on thyroid meds for about 6 months now. I thought that my period was straighting up until this month. I have been spoting every day for about a week or more. I haven't have much of an apitite lately and thats not like me I love food and the thought of it has made me sick. I don't want to gross anyone out but this is the way my period has been all week: My period starts and it is just anough to fill my pannties up so I change and I put on a pad and after i put on the pad it stops. It has done this to me everyday, it starts so I put on a pad and it stops, if I don't have a pad on it goes, this is driving me insane. What the heck is going on. I don't think I'm pregnant but I never know, me and my husband start thinking I am and I always turn out not pregnant. Could I be pregnant? if you don't understand what I just said ask and i'll try again.

There are a lot of confused opinions on the subject and the parenting and pregnancy section has questions from some scared and vunerable people, some of whom are very young. I don't really think this is the place to be calling them murderers, what do you think?

I have heard similar problems with religous zealots going into the Gay section to do a bit of queer bashing.

Any opinions, I would like a consensus of opinion (should this question therefore be in the polls&surveys section?)

Last year I was diagnosed with endometriosis. My ovary was damaged so much by it that I had to have it surgerically removed last May. The doctor said the remaining ovary was slightly affected and put me on birth control for a year to allow for healing. Now, I'm about to get married in less than two weeks. And, want to start trying to conceive ASAP. I got off of Depo Provera in February and since then my period has normalized. Is there anyone who dealt with this and didn't have a hard time getting pregnant? Should I do anything in particular to increase my chances of getting pregnant right away?

Mine seems to be small, but my pedi is not concerned. (I'm not either, just wondering if most are smaller little people) Everyone comments on my baby being small. She is almost 5 months and weighs 14 lbs. (7 lbs at birth).

This is my first pregnancy but I never felt any symptoms. Is this okay? I am 12 weeks pregnant but I am so scared. I worry too much about my baby. I had sex with my bf and was painful for me. It felt like my abdomen was going to pop. During/after sex my abdomen was hurting. Is this normal? Did I harm my baby in any way? HELP ME PLS!

My daughter has been eating solids for almost 2 months now. Ever since we started, she is very interested in grabbing the spoon and eating from it. But she grabs the food part, not the handle, and gets it everywhere. I want to encourage her to discover things on her own, but it makes me dread feeding her. When will she learn? Should I discourage her grabbing the spoon?
Has anyone else had this experience?

My 6 year old son is a very bright, sensitive, intelligent, athletic, good looking little boy. But he is very shy and anxious. He fears anything involving dealing with people he doesn't know (playing with kids at recess, taking the bus, approaching teachers, etc.). It has gotten to the point where he is making himself physically ill, throwing up before school. He obsesses over time and perfection in everything he does. Last night I overheard him telling himself "I hate me". He said it was because he can't ride his bicycle perfectly yet. (He just learned to ride without training wheels last week.)
My wife and I have constantly tried to get him to lighten up and support him in everything he does. We've explained many times that nobody is perfect and we don't expect him to be. We've told him how proud we are of him. We are scheduled to see a child psychologist soon, but in the meantime I would be appreciative of any advice.

My little boy and girl are bad kids. I want to drop them off in the ghetto so they can be raised by capable ghetto parents who will love them for who they are. Should a drop them off in a housing project or a crack den? I can't wait to not have to wake up to little brats screaming their heads off. They belong with people who will raise them right.

My baby is almost 5 months old and our pedi told us to start her on "some" solids--very little actually. We have noticed (and were told by our pedi that this could happen) that her formula intake has went down. I know this is her primary source of nutrition still and I'm wondering if I should back off altogether from solids or just give her less. I'm not asking for medical advice--just Mom advice. Obviously, I'm not concerned enough to call the pedi just yet, as I'm trying to work it out by myself because she was eating well before. (And she is definitely not sick, but DEFINITELY teething).
