Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 August 2006

I'm 20wks and not really showing yet just a little poochy, or when I lay down I can see an enlarged uterus up to my belly button. But it is moving like crazy! Are there any problems that can come from not showing?? 1st pregnancy by the way!

The announcement itself was a very simple engraved stationary piece with the parents names and an attached card with the baby's name. The problem is that the baby's name is one of those odd family names that doesn't distinguish a gender. Any suggestions as to figuring it out what "it" is (beyond calling the parents to find out)?

My wife and I are in disagreement. She says we should close the door and let our 11 month old daughter cry herself to sleep. My approach is to pick her up, sit back in a chair and wait until she falls asleep.

What do the professionals recommend? If you can, please provide a link to a resource. (I tried to research this on American Pediatric Association website, but to no avail)

Is there a way to control mood swings through out prregnancy? I was looking for maternity clothes and nothing fit. So i got upset and started feeling like crying and then misplaced my feelings and got mad at my poor boyfriend. He is so confused and it doesn't seem fair to him, but I can't seem to stop myself from getting worked up. :(

I help take care of a 1 year old who is spoilt by her mother. Should I just ignore them when they have their tantrums? Should I place her in a room and wait for her to calm down?

My husband and I have a son and he just turned 1 year old. My husband told me last night he does want to start trying for another as soon as I want to. I do want to have another baby, I'm just unsure how long to wait. I think next spring so the children will be about 3 yeas apart. What has your experience been? How far apart are your children? Was is planned that way? Would you change it?

i quit everything when i was pregnant, smoking,drinking, even gave up soda and unhealthy food..my friend is now 3 months pregnant and she JUST quit smoking..thankfully thats her only vice she doesnt drink or eat bad etc. but i have been telling her to quit since the test results and im scared that shes already mistreated her unborn. she told me that the dr. told her to stop too but when he realized she didnt he said cut back to 3 a day at the most..well she ended up doing that and quitting but isnt it still very dangerous that she smoked for that long?

If you get a surge using the ovulation kit could that also mean you are going to ovulate the same day or that you are actually ovulating at that very moment you get a surge? I don't trust them ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had this question which is whether mood swings have any ill effects on the baby's health and growth during pregnancy?

I took my lil girl to the doctor on Staurday. Just for a regular baby check up and her shots. Well the doctor said her soft spot is completely sealed and that isnt a good sign for a baby of her age. She said my daughter needs to have X-rays done to see how her head is developing and see how her brain is. Im a terrified, I've never heard of this before. My lil girl is very active and very advanced for her age according to my doctor. I still am scared if there might be something wrong. Has anyone ever heard of this ....and should I be freaked out. I keep running this through my head. I know you other mothers would let me know if there was something to be scared of...I love my lil girl so much and I just want to make sure she's ok.

My son is a kindergarten student and is very excited about being in school. The problem is I don't think the teacher handles her classroom very well. He gets a note home every other day and this is only the second week of school. In his Pre-K class he had a firm teacher who didn't allow that silliness in her class and he never got notes home, she had control of her class. This lady told me she's been taching for 26 years and I'm wondering how since it seems to me she has no control. I have punished him for his actions but I;m starting to think maybe some attention to her needs to be paid.
