Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 August 2006

my son just turned one year ( yesterday) i was wondering at what age is good to start weaning him ( giving him his tea in a sippy cup) he drinks water and juice from the cup already. Also when do you let them eat food for themselves he doesnt like me to feed him he likes to eat for himself but the food usually end up all over the place

What age should a child be before going to a movie theatre? My daughter is 2 1/2 and will watch a full movie with me at home. I'm thinking about taking her to see a children's show around 2pm. Does this seems like an appropriate age to go?

its painful even to recant the tale even though its been three weeks since the incident. cut a long story short she held me against a wall and kneed me so many times my left testicle got lodged in the abdominal canal from where it descended all those years ago. the doctors managed to retrieve and save it and im looking to press charges. what do you think of these events and would you have done the same if you were in her position.

had a one night stand with a friend of mine, she is 41 and had a tubal 17 years ago and she was married and had regular sex for 16 yrs after the tubal. We had to much to drink and made out but I did not get off in her. I am worried she could get pregnant but she says I am nuts since she had a tubal 17 years ago and I pulled out. Should I be worried about this 1 time or Should I just get a grip and forget about it. BTW I dont want kids and I am having panic attacks from the worrying, and like I said she is not worried one bit and thinks I am nuts.

I am a personal trainer and I work out, as well, 1 - 1.5 hours per day 6 days per week. I work with pregnant ladies, and as long as they have worked out intensly before pregnant, we keep that same intesity if/when they can't handle it anymore, and then take it down a notch, as it is great for them, and the baby. I plan on doing the same, myself. Just some answers for those that have been there. Thanks.
Also, I know breastfeeding is the only way to go for the baby. But what will it do to my breasts? I know you lose weight quicker, but will it make my breasts flat (I am 36C now)?
Overall, what can I expect out of my body,after my baby,if I continue to eat clean and workout hard d uring and right after pregnancy?
Thank you!!!

Well im now about 7-8 weeks pregnant and yesterday when i went to the toilet i had a small amount of brown blood stained in my pants, but i kept an eye and when i woke the morning i have had nothing since. but i just used the toilet and again there is some brown coloured blood present. I have no stomach ache or anything. i already have one little boy and this didnt happen. i also know it is not uncommon in early stages of pregnancy for spotting but i dont know if this is what u class as spotting.

We have recently found we are pregnant with our 2nd child. Our daughter is 10 months old. We would like to tell the family in a cute way, somehow involving our daughter. For the first pregnancy we wrapped bibs that said "I Love My Grandma" and gave them to our mothers. Any other ideas?

Every time I see this on TV I am strangely fascinated, like watching a train wreck. It seems to be about fashion and boys and ostracizing people that you don't like...
Is there something good about this show that I am missing?

me and my boyfriend broke up, we were going out 5 and a half months and before when we had broken up i was not like i am now. i have lost it. ive been crying since yesterday non-stop. i woke up crying, because i had a dream about everything. the break up was kind of mutual, but still like it doesnt feel right. i know he loves me, because it was hard for both of us, and i love him so much, but idk what to do. like i need to talk to him but now he left for vacation today and im scared that i wont be able to talk to him in time. any advice on how to control my feelings? i mean i love him and i want him back so bad, and i know he will probably take me back but i hate not being able to talk to him. and everything that i see always reminds me of him and its just crazy. help?

I am on the pill, but I had sex right after I took the first active pill of this pack, and I discovered the condoms I used were actually expired. (This was the ONLY time this cycle I had sex, and it was 3 weeks ago), And I didn't know if they would work or not. Well today is only the 2nd days of my pill free " placebo" week, and I took a HPT this morning, where I got a strong negative, and then about an hour later when I went to the bathroom there was red blood with some tiny clots. Now normally I wouldn't get my period till the 5th, sometimes even the 6th day of my pill free week. Is it possible that because I have been stressing so much, that it came early?

I've noticed people talking about abortion and they're obviously referring to miscarriage, which I know is at least the US term for a spontaneous abortion. So is calling miscarriage an abortion (because a miscarriage is an abortion by the body) a UK thing, like how fries are chips, and chips are crisps, and diapers are nappies, and that kinda thing?

Has anyone had any luck with eating spicy foods, sex, walking, cohosh, nipple stimulation....or any other form of trying to bring on labor? I have read a lot about it - and just wanted to hear from some real people if they think it actually works. I am 37 weeks, I understand baby will come when ready - Just curious?

I have been looking over some question and answers and have noticed that a lot of parents on here let their children sleep with them... i'm from australia and have a 16 month old... he has never slept with me and as far as i know none of my friends let their kids sleep with them either.. i was just curious about what other people do... please tell me ur childs age and whether or not they sleep with you and why?? not here to judge just trying to find out about other cultures
also could u tell me where u are from and if it is acceptable where u live to do this...
my son slept in my room until he was about 2 or 3 months old but it was always in a cot at the end of the bed... never in our bed... i was always too scared i would roll on him.. good luck to all those parents trying to get their kids out of their beds...
BTW i am also a single mum and have never had the urge to sleep with my son in my bed for comfort..

If there are any moms who have had babies in their 40s, I'd love to hear your stories. Was it more difficult? Do you believe you are a better mom? Was it hard to get your body back into shape?
