Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 August 2006

would like to know what adoptees really think and feel. Adoptive (or potential)adoptive couples feelings. Threat? hurt? anything from real life experience would be nice. I'm trying to put things in their place. I placed ababy 14 years ago, and STILL hurt.

I know this may sound stupid but I've always wondered if two identical twin brothers married two identical twin sisters would both the couple's kids come out looking the same?

I think they are offensive and unfair to people who are unable to provide breastmilk. I did for 5 months, but I know not everyone can. There is this commercial in my state that made my best friend cry who just gave birth and is unable to breastfeed despite vailiant attempts due to insufficient breast tissue. Her body will not produce milk in any viable, substantial quantity. Her son, however, is 1 month old and healthy as a horse on Similac. I am just at a loss of how these commercials go above and beyond to make breastmilk look to be the solution for world peace and Global harmony. I'm tired of seeing my friend cry. She's hormonal and since this appears to be the target audience, is the government simply trying to guilt people? It seems that way. I certainly don't think my child is destined to never suffer any malady just because she got my milk for 5 months. Preposterous, and wholly unsubstantiated. Putting mothers at eachother is not healthy, it's ridiculous. They need a better plan

I have had a very easy pregnancy so far. Up until about a week ago, the worst symptoms I had were sore boobs and having to urinate frequently. I had a little heartburn but no nausea or vomitting. I was never even really that tired. Now it seems even those symptoms have gone away, I still have to urinate frequently but other that I feel back to my normal self. Having symptoms was kinda reassuring that everything was going alright with the pregnancy, now I don't even feel pregnant. Anyone ever feel this way? Or maybe I am just very lucky that my pregnancy has been easy and I haven't been puking my guts out like so many women do...??

I want to know the signs when is the best time to set up the potty and just put on her underwear only. I was told that she'll do it when she's ready but how would I know? I do not want to miss the signs and the opportunity that she's ready. If I plan for a 2nd baby next year, I might be too busy to guide her and delay the process of potty training
*Sometimes she says the word "kaka" when I'm changing her diaper but I'm not sure if she knows exactly what that word means because she's not consistent
*If she has to poop, she will stop whatever she's doing and go farther from us. Then, returns back to whatever she was doing before, happier and more livelier than ever.
*If she pooped, she doesn't tell me anything. I just discover it almost immediately and change her right away. Am I acting too fast to change her right away or should I give her a chance to communicate with me?
*If poop is undiscovered, she just doesn't want to sit down, then I know she did it. Is it a sign?
PLS HELP!!!

Yes, I've asked many questions lately. I'm doing research and many of my books are outdated (one is a physiology book from 1980), so I'm trying to make sure all my information is up to date.

Has anyone had their "water" break before term? I know that at term (in some places, 36 weeks) they'll want the baby born within 24 hours if possible. What's the procedure if your water breaks before that time? One thing I read said that they'll insert a catheter and try to keep fluid in the sac for as long as possible, and give the mother a steroid shot to mature the baby's lungs just in case. Another said she got the shot, they gave it enough time to act and hopefully mature the lungs, then allowed her to progress with labor since the longer the sac is broken, the higher the chances of infection. Is there a standard procedure for this, or is it different dependant on where you're getting medical care?

I'm just curious since I have kids and they are always getting into things but nothing serious has happened. I'm sure it's not outside the realm of possibility since no home or environment is 100% safe.

I am due to start my period on Thursday, but I got a positive reading on an ovulation test. Is it possible to ovulate that soon before a period is expected?
