Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 August 2006

My hubby and I are having a disagreement. Yesterday my 6yo kept putting a bouncy ball (about the size of a quarter) in her mouth. After telling her to take it out twice (and having her put it back in her mouth minutes later), I had her throw it away. She threw a tantrum, and when she was done we sat and talked about WHY I had her throw it away. I explained to her about what could happen if it lodged in her throat, or worse, if her 11mo brother followed her example and put it is his mouth. My husband doesn't think it should have been tossed in the garbage. What do you think?

My wife is on the pill, she is supposed to have her period this week since her pack is done.

Yesterday she felt sick all day, she came home from work and laid on the couch and slept all day.

She didn’t have a fever, but felt like she was going to throw up when she sat up or walked.

She couldn’t eat anything because it made her stomach hurt.

No throwing up, no diarrhea and no cold symptoms.

She said her head hurt so bad and her joints ached.

Are these pregnancy symptoms or flu symptoms?

Should we get her a test?

Has anyone else in early pregnancy suffered from muscle twitching in the tummy? Its too soon for the baby to be moving - so is this normal?

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and so far everything has been going really well. When I woke up this morning, I was spotting bright red blood. 3.5 hours later I'm not spotting.Why would this happen?
This is my fourth pregnancy, I have one child and had 2 miscarriages. Each time I miscarried I spotted brown. Is spotting normal at this point?

my son is seven weeks old and I had planned to take a year off work to be with him. But money is starting to get a little tight and my boss has already called offering me any shifts i wanted if I'd just go back. And honestly it'd be nice to get out of the house and see grown-ups a few days a week. But it seems silly to work if all the money is just going to go right back into paying for daycare where he might not even be well taken care of. What do you pay for daycare part-time? and what have some of your experiences benn with leaving your kids in daycare? (good and bad).

I'm thinking of doing an online Medical Transcription course, then when I'm finished I'd be working from home as a Transcriptionist. I have a preschooler, toddler, and a newborn. The class would be starting this fall and I think it takes between 6-12 months to finish. Has anyone done an online class and/or worked from home like this? If yes, is it really hard to find the time? Is this something I should do? My other option is to have my husband watch the kids and go take a course at the school at night. I'm going back in forth between the Medical Transcription thing which can be done from home, or getting my nursing degree and working away from home part-time. Any advice/experience would be appreciated.

Just because a child can use the words "I want to nurse" or any other phrase they may use, why should they be weaned?? I hear so many people say "if they're old enough to ask for it then they're too old to be nursing". This just doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Don't these people realize that babies "ask" to nurse as soon as they're born? They root around your shirt as soon as they start breathing. Different children begin talking at different ages. Why should a child who acheives this milestone early be denied something so wholesome and good?

He was absolutely perfect with no disabilities and weighed over 7lbs but he died suddenly during labour ( His heart was so strong all along, just stopped suddenly) . All I can do is blame myself because I am a smoker. The dr said it could be a number of reasons. Baby was distressed, overdue, long labour (over 48 hours). All I can do is blame myself. My friends say hundreds of smokers have live births everyday. Is it true ? Did any other smokers lose their baby at term or over term ??

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have been really excited to be having a baby, but for the last few days I've been feeling really low and just feel like I want to cry all the time. I'm worried I'll be alone, even though my partner is there for me 100% and keep worrying I'll be a bad mum. I even cried watching Hollyoaks! I hate seeing other pregnant women or hearing about other women who've had babies as I feel really jealous (illogical I know) and although I feel my baby moving all the time I fear the worst when the birth happens.
Any advice or words of wisdom are most welcome

I am 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant i recently went to the hospital and was diaginosed with a UTI and my doc prescribed me with macrodantin but on the paper from the pharmacy it states that you should'nt take it if you are 38 -42 weeks pregnant or during labor and delivery or if you are breastfeeding which i plan on doing i am due in 11 days and i have to take this for 10 of them so how would i not take it during labor and delivery if i went into labor any day.i can't ask my doctor because he is an a*^hole. so i was wondering if there were any women out there who had a uti in that late of pregnancy and took this medication or any other antibiotic.

My five year old son whines about everything. It is driving me nuts. I have tried many different ways to stop it but nothing seems to work. Please no answers about hitting or spanking - let's all admit that when a child is whining to this extent hitting and spanking only make it worse.

I've always had perfectly regular periods before and while I was on birth control (for about 3 yrs). I stopped birth control last month. My period was due 3 days ago, and has not come. I took a home pregnancy test 3 days ago, which turned out negative, and I went for a pregnancy blood test yesterday and I'm waiting on the results. The brown spotting just started this morning, and is making me worried. Could I be pregnant, and if not, what is this brown discharge? Is it withdrawal bleeding (if so, does it mean I'm not pregnant since it is considered a period?) Thanks

I am 15 weeks and was prescribed Zofran yesterday. Since I've been taking it, my stomach and lower back kind of cramp, like I'm about to start my period or something and I didn't know if that was normal for the meds or maybe just coincidentally my back/stomach started hurting when I took the meds. Did you have to stay on the medicine for the rest of the pregnancy? Any other side effects?
