Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 August 2006

It seems like every other day I am washing the sheets because my daughter will pee the bed. I have her go potty before bed time and I make sure she goes, I tell her if she has to go to get up and go. The bathroom is right next to her room. But still she will pee the bed. What can I do to have her stop?

My daughter has been on Similac Advance Soy formula and I had a coupon for a free Nestle Soy and I have heard good things about this brand so I tried it. Since starting the Nestle formula she has been spitting up a lot and acting like it's bothering her stomach. Anyone else have this problem? I thought Nestle was supposed to be gentler on the stomach. Should I go back to the Similac or give it a couple days?

I started my baby on rice cereal like 2 weeks ago he is now 7 weeks old and is starting to want to eat more. He already eats 30mins on the breast at a time. At his night time feeding I pump and he eat cereal in his breast milk. But he is starting to love the cereal. And wants to eat more.Should I start him on baby foods between feedings or is it too early or am I supose to pump every feeding and put cereal in it. or should I start him on baby juice? His doctor doesn't know he's eating cereal at night and wants him to eat every 3 hours and if wants to eat in between get him a water bottle. But the water is no longer making him happy what to do? Please no answers about how good breast feeding is or feed him whenver he wants to eat . I need serious answers from people know know about breast feeding. Noone I know has ever breast fed.

I have been experiencing weird cramp like feelings almost like pinches in my lower abdomen. I read that this could be ovulation. I had a period on 8-18 and my breasts are still very tender and seem have gotten a little worse. i really dont have any pain and my temp is fine, i dont have any cervical mucous that would suggest that i am ovulating but i did on thursday and friday, we tried on friday and saturday but i think that was too early to ovulate, my cervix is high and open and has been since like wednesday, any ideas on what may be happening to me? miscarriage on 07-14-06 i want to get pregnant. i have never felt these twinges of cramping before and i am wondering if that could be because i am more fertile now than before my miscarriage and i might have stronger symptoms

My wife has wanted to get pregnant for the past year of our 5 year relationship.

I told her we could start in a year from now and we started buy a few things for a baby.

We bought some books, a pregnancy journal and a few other baby things.

I decided I would like one sooner than a year too, so we are planning to start in a few months.

My wife doesn’t really want to look at baby stuff anymore.

She says she doesn’t want to think about babies until she is pregnant because it makes her feel like crap.

She says looking at baby stuff makes her depressed because she is not pregnant.

So she doesn’t want to buy anything or go the baby department until she is actually pregnant.

Are these normal feelings? She only seems bummed out when baby stuff is in her face. Other than that she is a happy person.

My wife's doctor seems a bit too eager to induce the baby. My wife is due on September 3rd. So far everything is normal and both the baby and my wife are in good health. My wife's pressure is 120 and her protein in urine was normal. She gets a call today, 6 days before her due date from the doctor's secretary saying” Guess what, we have a spot for you to get induced today" . Every since last week, she's been hinting about inducing.
Most likely we would want to wait and let things go naturally, but just wanted to get another opinion on that.
That same doctor is my sister's doctor, my sister is due on the 20th of September, the doctor told her that she might have to induce her since the doctors vacation is at the same time as my sister's due date.
It seems to me we have to go with the doctor's schedule and they seem a bit too eager to induce and get it over with.

My husband and I have been set on the name Jackson for our soon to be 2nd son, since we found out the sex of our baby... Since then a member of my husband's side of the family (in whome he does not particulary care for) has had a baby boy... and of course........... Named him Jackson... I don't want to assume that this was not just a "coinsidence" since we have made everyone in both of our families very aware of our baby name intentions... but it does seem a little fishy..
Either way...
Would it be tacky to name our baby Jackson? It just feels akward now... What are your opinions?

im 38 weeks pregnant with my second daughter and i went to the doc on friday and he said im a centimeter dialated and soft (obviously the false alarms are paying off in one way or another) well since then the discharge (yes i know tmi but need help) has become thicker somewhat watery and developed a smell but not the smell of a yeast infection kinda like rotten fruit ick! and also i was having horrible menstral cramps this morning radiating in my back and lower abdomen they feel like they're kind of starting again i called the doc and they have yet to return my call my panties were soaked when i got in the bath a little while ago and i don't think it was all discharge because the soaked part felt like where water had been. what do you ladies think i appreciate your help in advance and i would appreciate as little smart *** remarks as possible because i really don't know what is going on or what to do thanks

What are some creative ways to tell parents, inlaws and extended family "I'm Expecting!"? For my parents this will be their third grandchild(first from me) and for my inlaws it will be the very first grandchild. I would also like to come up with a creative way to tell extended family. :)

She's fallen off 3 times. The second time we went to the E.R. and they said she looked healthy and couldn't see anything wrong with her. It's easier for me to breastfeed her in bed with me, Since i don't have a rocking chair. Should i take her to the dr. this time too? What syptoms to look for other than abnormal behavior. I feel like a bad mother. i know it's the bound to happen

Is there any support on the web for those interested in unassisted childbirth, like email groups? The few I found, weren't what I'm looking for, I'm not into the AP groups, just one that focuses only on UC. Any ideas?

She wants dancing lessons, but is unsure of what type. She loves princesses but also tries to "break dance".
Her only request is that it has to be "beautiful".
THanks.
