Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 August 2006

I'll start from the beginning...I had our son when my husband was deployed. He came home when my son was 4 months. We had a perfect schedule I like some kind of order and predictability in my life. Now that my husband's back everything’s gone bad. I was so excited that he was going to be there to help...instead he complains anytime I ask him to do something. He barely started giving our son a bath a month ago...and he still seems to have issues with getting him in the bathtub on time. I cook dinner when he gets home from work and ask him to watch our son and again...HE COMPLAINS. I don't understand...he believes he has had a hard day of work and that I should take care of the baby 24/7. It hurts my feelings that he doesn't seee everything I do around the house and understand I've had a hard day too. At the end of the day he wants to snuggle and I'm just beat. He doesn't understand why I need him to help out and a routine. Am I being anal or is this a serious issue? Thanks!

I am having two problems with my 29 week pregnant wife but I'd feel guilty griping at her if it's just me being selfish:
1) Almost 29 weeks and NO sexual contact. She says she is worried about having sex. Okay, I can kinda understand that eventhough the doctor said sex is okay. But, she won't do ANYTHING else either. That just seems strange to me and selfish on her side.
2) Last week the doctor put her on bed rest because she went into preterm labor. Everything is fine now, but was scarry for a day there. Luckily I work form home so I can stay here with her. But she now wants me to be here literally 24 hours a day. I have been here since she came home from the hospital, over a week ago. Now we are running out of food, I seriously need a haircut and haven't worked out in two weeks. I told her today that I need to start going out on short trips to take care of stuff that needs to be taken care of. She started to cry. I wanted to gripe at her but didn't. Need advice!!

My boyfriend and I have been dating a little over 15 months and if you have read some of my questions you know that we have had sex. I want to ask my mom about getting myself some birth control but I am worried about how she will react. Any suggestions on how to ask her?

I read somewhere that pregnant women do get stuffy noses or it is harder to breathe. I can't remember why though. Have you heard of that? Do you know why? Someone on here stated that their nose is stuffy and she is pregnant too. That is what prompted this question. Thanks!

Could anyone tell me exactly how Clomid works? Also, confirm to me that this is a perscription obtained from a doctor. I thought I ran across a thread that stated there was an over the counter medication great for infertility. Anyone know about this? Thank you!

I am about 26 weeks along now with my first child...going to be a boy. And Since about the time i found out i was pregnant Ive had some really really horrible back aches that I have been told are all mostlikely related to pregnancy. Its like a Shooting Sharp Pain on my hip in the back. Like right about my butt.....It doesnt happen all the time....but when it does, i cant stand up without pain or walk...I dont even want to be touched. Is there anything I can do to relieve this pain without having to take pain killers because i am pregnant. Thanks for all your advice and help!!!

I have been with my boyfriend for awhile. We have had some pregnancy scares before and some pregnancy ups and downs. In the past I have always been able to tell him right away when the thought that I might be pregnant has crossed my mind. A little less than a week ago I found out that I am pregnant and have also seen the docter and had blood work done that confirmed my at home pregnancy test. My first prenatel apt. isn't till next month. He is going through alot of stress right now and I do not think that he even wants child right now. Even though it hasn't been but almost a week I still feel badly as though I am being dis honest with him which I never have been. I also feel like I am keeping secrets, which in a way I am. I also almost feel like I "pushing off" telling him. So my question is should I wait till he's not going through so much stress (which may be awhile) or what? When and how should I tell him that I am pregnant? I want everything 2 b done right this time & 2 work out.

Since birth my son has never learnt to latch on. Initially I alternated between Expressed breast milk and formula. Since stopping the formula 4 weeks ago the weight gain has slowed to hardly anything. In that new mum panic that I'm sure many new mums are prone to - I've started to formula feed again, with a couple of bottles of EBM to keep up the antibodies etc. I'm finding that people seem to be so critical and almost blame the mother for not being able to breast feed - am I alone in finding this? I'd be grateful to hear from other mums on what they've found and how the feed their babies.

My 14 month old son is currently suffering from a pretty bad summer cold. Since he is having trouble breathing through his nose, it is causing him to wake up in the middle of the night. We just got him into sleeping through the night a month ago (he was a nursed baby so it was hard for us to get him out of the nighttime feeding routine). I don't want to fall back into the old routine by going into his room when he wakes up. Not to mention two nights ago when he woke up he wanted to play, when we thought it was because of his cold. Anyway, should I fear the return of the old routine by giving him attention in the night? Or should I continue giving him the extra care he is getting from being sick?? Any opinions would be appreciated...thanks.
