there is a NON-GENERIC prenatal vitamin out there that is prescription only. i cant remember the name of it but it was prescribed to me with my first daughter. it was the only prenatal that didnt make me sick. i cannot remember the name of it, but i remember that they marketed it around its color which was purple (and no i am not thinking of nexium-the purple pill) any help would be great. also i am in a different state before, and haven't seen the doctors yet, still working on conceiving, just want to be able to provide the exact name.

My daughter(age 17) is at home,pregnant in 8th month.After 2 weeks we have to travel by plane but if she hasn't delivered the baby and she is in 8-th month,she cannot fly.If I press her abdomen,she will have contractions,right?That may cause delivering.If she delivers now,we will be able to fly after 2 weeks.If I press her abdomen,is it sure the delivering will start and what else can I do to cause delivering?She'll deliver at home,without doctors(she is fine and doesn't need doctors).Tell some ideas for causing a delivery.

I am looking for a baby swing that can connect to the electricity. It doesn't matter if it uses batteries, but it needs to have an optional plug to connect. Where can I find a swing like this???

I have been told I have a "pre-cancer condition" outside my vagina and in the vulva area. I had this same condition years ago, all over my cervix, and have had most of my cervix removed. I just went to a specialist last month at the Women's Cancer Center and the doctor said it was much more extensive than he thought. He did not do a biopsy right then because he said there was nothing he could do about it at that time, until after the baby (due 12-20). I have to go back in November just to see if it has spread.

Of course this is a HUGE concern, on top of the high-risk pregnancy, but what makes it worse is that he said there are a few options I have once the baby is born. I asked him what the options are and he said there was no need to get stressed or worked up and we would talk about it after December.

God, what could he have meant. I have been searching the internet but don't find much because I don't know exactly what I'm looking for! I am TRYING to be positive but I just wish he wouldnt have said anything at all. I just to VENT I guess!!!

My wife has had her navel pierced for 3 years, she has never taken it out.

Can she get one of those special pregnant plastic piercing?

I have heard of using fishing line, does that work?

Should she take it out? If she does will it close up?

Does the belly button get “deformed” after having a child?

I know that some of you may find this very wierd, but PLEASE no insulting comments. I am a single mother of 3 boys (ages 14, 12, 1), pregnant with 4th, and planning on many more. I am 36 weeks pregnant, getting very big.
On sunday, my 2nd son went to his friends home on a sleepover. My eldest sons friends family was coming over for dinner. I worked 7 hours nonstop preparing a meal for them, and finished 10 mins before they arrived. It was when they arrived that I realized that I forgot to breastfeed my 1 year old! I ran from the dinner table to get him and I had to feed him immediately! I realized that I had to do it at the dinner table, because neither my guests nor my baby could be left alone. So I ruefully took off my shirt and breastfed him, revealing my sore, naked breasts & my very pregnant belly. After that, my son's friend's father said "This food is disgusting. I feel like throwing up!"!! I just suddenly started to weep, and ran away. My son wont talk to me... what do i do?!

we get her once a month if we are lucky she is a great kid but her mother treats her like a baby still and always yells at her and puts her down so she has no selfasteem. she is almost 9 and she can't wash or brush her own hair or do things on her own like when she is over here it is like she is scared to ask for something to eat or drink. she opens up to me and we talk a lot and loves coming over and wants to live with us and our 2 girls. when we talked to the case worker she told us that unless there is real danger there is no chance for us to get her to live with us. I hate sending her home with her mother when she tells me she is so unhappy there and her mother never does anything with her she is not even allowed to play with friends or at the park. she had her first birthday party last year (which I gave her) and she cryed cause she had so much fun. what can we do to get her to live with us or make her life better?

If i've been standing for 5 minutes or more I have a dull ache and heavy feeling in my lower area. It is causing me so much bother because it kills just to walk to my shops.

This is my second child and didn't have this before. Someone said my bump is quite low and may need a sling because its something to do with my pelvic muscles, but this sounds a bit too much.

I do have midwife in the next couple of days, so obv i'll ask her, but I wanted to ask now

Like you're going to get your period, but it's not that close yet, and you have those type of cramps. Does that happen? (Not real bad cramps, jut an overall cramp feeling)

My son is 18 mos and he has begun hitting people when he is angry or does not get his way. It is so horrible and i have no clue where he has ever even seen people hit. I have tried time outs, I have tried ignoring him, I have tried just about everything but he is still not getting it. He often plays with his cousin who is 15 mos old and he hits and pushes him all the time. I do not want him to be a nasty child, please help.

Ok we had a family get together and my 5 year old son was insane, hes usually pretty good but he was just out of control last night i yelled at him once and got looks like i was being to hard on him, then i tried talking to him numerous times during the day and he was like "ok" and then ran off and was still being a jerk, calling names to all the guests and not listening to anyone just being obnoxious, the kind of kids i hate, and he just got worse and i was looked at like i was the worst parent in the planet, how do i teach him how to act in situations like this and how do i handle him in that situation without comming off as a jerk picking on his kid? i play rough and joke around with him, should i not be doing this? when were at home and he starts to go too far and i tell him thats enough and he stops and doesnt keep it going i dont even have to yell at him.

I would have implanted on or around August 17th. I want to test with first pee on a First Repsonse stick tomorrow morning. Will the test come up positive if in fact I am pregnant? Or is it too early?

If there was an option to have remote installed on your kids to turn them off for a period of time, would you have it installed? And, what would you do with your "off" time?
