Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 August 2006

For me, when a child is old enough to ask, he is ready for the answer. However, we should answer as simply as possible. Not giving any extra information she didn't ask for.

I'm very much in favor of the truth and have never heard any good reason to justify lying. Do you have those reason? What's your opinion?

After laprascopy, my daughter did not conceive for a year or so.
Now under doc's advice, started on metformin. does it help in conceiving? How many of you have successfully conceived after
taking this medicine? Any hope, they are very keen on having a child. Any alternate medicine, or health food will help

What are early symptoms of pregnancy and is it common to experience the "I just know" thing? Is loss of appetite normal? Is it normal to get really depressed
over a boxed test?

And about abortion...does anyone know if blue cross or kaiser cover it? Or is it strictly a clinic thing? And can anyone tell me anything about the abortion pill (how bad is the bleeding? how long does it last? any recovery/side affects?Are you okay to drive home alone afterwards?) How often are at home tests false?

note:
I know this is premeditated and I know many of you on here are anxious to concieve. But having a baby is not an option for me right now, I hope toget rid of it early to prevent emotional attachment. Also I am in this alone, and every aspect of my life has recently fallen apart (changed my job=no insurance for 3 months, broke up w/my guy of 6years, lost my roomates, lost my house, getting sued, identity theft,) so please dont be critical about the situation, It's not something I want to do

I was just wondering if there were any other parents out there who are choosing to delay there infants first shots for 6 months or more. If so do you have open minded pediatricians?

Were you using it correctly and how long were you on the pill before you got pregnant?

I'm almost two weeks late for my period. I've been cramping for the past week and a half like I normally would before I have my period, but it still hasn't come yet. I haven't taken a HPT, but I have no symptoms of pregnancy. I had protected sex a little over a month ago, but I'm no longer on the pill (I used to be, and after almost 2 years of being on it, I had to quit taking it in early June of this year because of possible blood clots). Could my period just be irregular since I've only had 2 periods since going off the pill and I don't know what my "normal" cycle is? Or could I be pregnant? I'm really stressed out about it so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

what are the bad effects of force-feeding to babies who fail to thrive?

2006-08-23 22:04:08 · 16 answers · asked by Angel 1 in Newborn & Baby

There is an old saying which tells that the mother who herself is a triplet (or any multiple birth child) and who only concieves 1 child at a time, will transmit this to her child, so that the girl she carried will in the future have multiple birth chances increased.
Please tell me what you think of this, an if it has happneed to any of you, or if you know someone in this situation. I am hoping for multiple birth, as I am in this situation...
Please only serious answerers.
