Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 July 2006

I am a 36 year old real estate salesperson, and soccer mom. My husband and I have a very active sex life, and he hates pantyhose, but loves me in a garter belt and stockings. When the kids were younger, I stayed at home, and took care of them, then dressed up in stockings and a garter belt when my husband came home.

A couple of years ago, when she was about 10, my oldest daughter started wearing pantyhose. I didn't think much about it because some of her friends did to. Last year she took noticed that I would change a garter belt in the evening, and ask why. I told her that it wasn't healthy to wear pantyhose all day.

Now when cleaning her room I noticed one of my old garterbelts with stockings still attached under her bed. I always unhook them, so I know she was wearing them.

What do I say, she has obviously figured out I wear them for my husband, and is probably trying to inpress someone too. I am at a loss as how to approach the situation. Am I overeacting?

My nephew is just over 4 months and he head is HUGE! My brother's girlfriend said even the doctor told her that the rest of his body is in the 50% range for average but his 25% bigger than normal. I would like to know if his big head is linked to some other mental illness or retardation problem.

Would the doctors just come out and test for it if they think something is wrong- or is it up to the parents to ask the doctor to test if they think something isnt right.

His head size just does not seem normal and I am really concerned and dont want to hurt my brothers feelings by asking if something is wrong with his kid.

Any adivse on this matter is welcomed- Thanks!

Ok, where do I begin? My daughter is 3 yrs 3months old and has been completely potty trained for WELL over a year. All of a sudden she has been having 2-3 accidents a day. She has been sucking on her dolls bottles all the time. She will pretend to cry like a baby. Every morning I will wake up to find her in bed with my husband and I. She has NEVER been a co-sleeper. All this behavior is really out of character for her. I have tried to figure out what has been causing this. She is an only child. We have NO plans of adding to our family ANY time soon. I can't figure this out. Any ideas? Or suggestions? Oh right now she has just brought her blanket to me and asked me to wrap her up like a baby.

I am getting so frustrated with it and now I am being put on medication to help control it. Please don't tell me diet and exercise because I DO everything I am supposed to and it is still not enough. Is there anyone out there who is actually going through this too?

I’m 16 years old and on the pill. I had sex with my boyfriend on the night of June 24 the vary next day I left for Mexico for vacation, while there I accidentally forgot to take my pill for several days. When I got home I started my period on the July 2nd though my period lasted five days like normal for me on the pill, it was vary light, using light tampons for the first three days and then only vary light spotting for the next two. The first time I had any sign of pregnancy was the 5th when I threw up early that morning and other then that I had an increase in appetite but the smell or consumption of food would make me sick. I wouldn’t throw up but was miserable until I wasn’t full anymore. Usually I could only eat about a handful of food at a time before I started feeling sick. Then another week or so with my queasiness I threw up again, after eating in the afternoon. I have also been experiencing irregular sleeping patterns often-needing naps during the day. Well, then I began to loose weight (I have been exercising more then usual). I am still having an increase in physical activity but now I’m beginning to gain weight back a vary miniscule amount but odd for the fact that I had been loosing weight, and my food intake while slightly better is still not vary successful. Today was the worst sign of fatigue yet, though for the entirety of summer I have been getting a full 8 hours of sleep tonight for some reason I slept for 12 hours something VARY uncommon for me. Typically, even if I don’t have anything to do, I will always sleep just 8 hours typically during the summer I stay up till around 1 in the morning and wake around 8 possibly nine. Yet today I went to sleep at one in the morning and woke up and nearly one thirty in the afternoon. I have been also experiencing unusual lower back pain and a brownish red discharge over the past few days. We did not use any other form of protection other then my pills and that was also the first time that he ejaculated inside me, no we have not had sex since the 24. I have had pregnancy scares before but this is by far the worst this is the only time I have ever had actual symptom not just paranoia. I have been under an unusual amount of stress lately so that could be it but if not I want to make sure. Please if any of you have an idea please tell me.

I'm only 6 weeks pregnant but I have a persistent cough. Not only is it driving nuts and making my throat sore, but I'm afraid that if I cough hard enough I may hurt the baby! My mother says "Take a spoonful of lemon juice and honey," but that works only to soothe my throat and not even for a long time. Any suggestions or advice? No fever and the occassional runny nose, but thats it.

She was friends with a girl, then the girl turned on her for no reason and got everybody on her side. They pick on her and threatened to beat her up. My daughter is really sweet and don't derserve this. She is not as popular because she doesn't cuss or date yet, but is a really good person...seriously, what do I do? They are 12/13 year olds, and have to go to school together, I already talked to the principle with no help, and there is too many of them for my daughter to stand up and fight....

During my first pregnancy, I never drove more than one hour in any direction right up until the day they induced me. Now I've moved 500 miles away (an 8 hour car trip one way), and now that I'm pregnant with my second child, my family back home is begging me to come down every month, especially for the baby shower and other family gatherings. I want to know if anyone has traveled a long distance while substantially pregnant, (between 6 to 9 months) and if there are any unpleasant things I should anticipate? Will my lower back kill me, irritability, frequent stopping? Any prior experience in the matter would be a great deal of help. When should I stop traveling? I know every woman's pregnancy is different, but every little bit helps. Thanks!

My once predictable baby is throwing me for a loop. He, just last week would eat every 4 hours and sleep for at least 2 hours inbetween every feeding. Today and yesterday however, he has only had 3 or 4 20 minute naps! He was also sleeping through the night last week. Not the case this week. Help.
