My son is 19 months old. I've been a full time mom for about 2 months and my husband is deployed. About 2 weeks ago, I started taking my son to the gym with me.
There are two rooms separated by a window partition so that parents can work out and watch their children play at the same time. My problem is that when I leave him in the room he stands at the window, crying and staring at me the entire time I am working out which is about 1 1/2 hrs. I thought I would keep trying and he would get over the crying but he hasn't and its been 2 weeks. I feel like I should just give up on the gym but that doesn't seem like it would solve the underlying problem. I feel like I am being a bad mother and I'm sure other parents are thinking the same. Any advice would be appreciated.

I had an IUD for 3 years then about 2months ago it feel out. Know I'm not sure if it's just my body getting used to no IUD or if I'm pregnant. My period was really weriod and then 2 weeks later I spotted a little, This month I'm 10 days late. I've never been late before. I've been felling under the weather lately,breast are tender. Stomach is cramping a little bite. I also found myself a little emtional yesterday. I've been wanting to take naps. I'm been wanting the taste of coffe a lot more. It's like I can't get enough of coffee.Could this be from the IUD or am I pregnant????

Please explain this. I challenge you to provide FACTUAL links and credible sources and material. I CHALLENGE you. Otherwise, I and the rest of the Yahoo! Answers users that frequent the baby and parenting sector will have assurance that YOU are indeed full of more hot air than an Iraqi desert in August. Please, prove me wrong...but before you do, consider this...

My baby daughter (recently breastfed for only 6 months, now exclusively on formula) crawls to me as soon as I step out of the shower and plants slobbery kisses all over my wet legs and feet. She whines until I cradle her. Then she speaks to me in "our language" which we invented when she was only a few months old consisting of breathy vowels and repetetive "oooh, and babooo and ah-woooo" and even a ma-maaaa-wooo wooo-maaaaa maa" here and there. My husband and her have a similar bond, just different, and she LOVES how he feeds her and plays with her. Hmmm, your feedback to refute this is welcome. Coward.

Hi. I'm having swelling in my left leg and ankle. The right one is absolutely fine. No pain with it, though. It started last week for 3 days, then went away but now it's back. I called my ob but they're not in the office today...has anyone heard of swelling with a blood clot that comes and goes like that? I don't have any other problems with swelling (other than my belly, lol) Thanx!!

I'm afraid the sandwich thing will get old really quick. Any suggestions on how to get creative with kids' lunches?

My little girl was really ill for three weeks (possibly viral infection) and in the last two has developed some strange symptoms/behaviour.

She wakes at night screaming and as soon as she is given her pacifier drops back unconscious, she doesn't quickly go back to sleep, she drops straight down as if she was never awake.

She is off her food and fluids, the doctor wants to test her for diabetes but she has the opposite symptoms, her diapers are rarely damp recently.

She has also started having screaming/crying fits in the day where she we can't even make eye contact with her as she cries for 20mins+. During this time she will thrash around and gets very red and sweaty.
After these screaming/crying episodes she is exhausted and is sleeping 18 hours+ each day.

We will be taking her to a pediatrician as our doctor is no use at all, we can't get there until tommorrow so would love any information that may put our mind at ease until then as we are getting very worried, thanks

For women who have experienced both a natural birth and an epideral birth what was your experience? What would you choose for your next time? I've had both and I liked natural better, and I'm just wondering if I'm crazy.

I had just gotten out of the shower and still drying off when my 3 yr old burst into the room crying about something that one of his brother's had done. All of the sudden he stopped and looked at me, and asked:
"Mommy, what happened to your wee-wee"
" Nothing, why?" trying to hurry up and get dressed.

Well, what happened to your tail? I have one and Daddy, and ...

I laughed so hard, it took me about 20 minutes before I could get dressed.

I'm doing a summer show. The last perfomance is Sunday. Then there is the cast party. The guy I am stating to like will be there since he is in the cast and I think he is into me (ok, well he gets jealous of guys I like or talkt o or flirt with, smiles and higs me sometimes, other times ignores me to play those stupid head games....) and I want to know...should I try to get with him at the party? You know, alone, a little kiss...to let him know before the play is officially over?
Yes, no or better idea???

I am so torn about getting an epidural, I've heard such good things about them and bad things as well. Has anyone delivered once naturally and once with medication? If so- which experience was better?

We are suspicious of the baby being allergic to stuff my wife eats. Only thing strange my wife ate last night was one cup of chocolate icecream. Could that be it? If it is a fissure, what is the best method or medical exam to diagnose it?

I have had a pain in my lower area...it feels like the musclues are pulling. I usually do strech my legs and do squats and it feels better, but Im just wondering if there is any other exercise for me to do??? I know some people say walking...but that doesnt work for me. Im 37 weeks and the last ultrasound I had the tech said that the baby was dropping so I know the pain is from that. Anyone have any ideas???

Hey, last night the condom broke, and my boyfriend thinks alittle bit of spern went in me. The day this happen, I just got off my period, still having cramps, and still was spotting a little bit!! What are the chances that i might get pregant???

IF THIS IS TRUE>>>
I agree with her. There are plenty of people to report from war-torn areas. No need for her to risk making her kids orphans. They already lost their father. I think her decision makes her look good...she is no "glory hound".

I normally have a regular period. My husband and I had sex around my supposed ovulation date. For the first week I was sick to my stomach and it was just weird. I've been tired since then. My period was suppose to come yesterday, but all I had was some spotting on the toilet paper once and then again this morning. I took 2 tests yesterday and both were negative. Is there a chance that it might still be too early for me to test? I've heard to wait like a week after your period was suppose to come.
