Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 August 2006

My brother and his family want to come visit this weekend. They want to meet my 3 week old baby. I would love for this to happen but they each have a cold, runny noses. I said I would rather they wait to come visit until they are better. They think I am being to dramatic and that I need to relax. I think her immune system doesn't need this. It's already gonna be a long winter, why start now??? Was I wrong for telling them not to come as long as they are sick??? And making them angry with me?

When I got my son up this morning I noticed that he had bruises covering the side of his head and ear, as well as on the other side of his neck and a bit of his other ear. I did not see any of this the day before. My son is almost three years old, and I asked him what happened but he pretty much just agrees with everything I say or he says he doesn't know.

I can't figure out how he could have gotten these bruises and it doesn't make much sense for it to be from hitting his head on the wall or something because it is on both sides of him.

Please help me figure out what's going on here....

I am 38. I have been on the pill since I was 21. Now I am getting high blood pressure and need to come off the pill. Have been using condoms but my husband and I hate them and can't amagine using them here on out, we have been together 18 years. I am thinking abut the copper IUD but have read that women that hasn't had children shouldn't get 1 for the risk of it falling out. I don't plan on having kids. So a 10 year birth control sounds ideal. Do you think it would be a good idea for me since I need to stay away from hormones for my heath. Help please don't know what to do haven't had to think about birth control for a long time. The ring sounded good but still has hormones.

Our daughter has started Kinder and I'm already getting bad vibes from her teacher. At first, the teacher seemed perfect. She has a kind face and looked like the perfect person to be teaching children. Then the trouble began. My daughter began acting out and throwing tantrums and becoming the kid that gets sent to the office (even on the 2nd day of school). I have been to several conferences already and have been working non stop with the counselors and teacher to get her on the right track. At first I was putting everything on my daughter since she had never been to preschool and didn't think twice about the teacher. It seems lately though that instead of being patient like a Kinder teacher should, she's been rude, giving us the cold shoulder, and unwilling to communicate at all. I dropped my daughter off this morning (fresh start) and right away teacher GLARED at her, smirked at me, and then walked away without even a "Good Morniing".

I'm thinking of switching her. Any advice?

I haven't been able to find an OB/GYN that I like and think that maybe, possibly I might be pregnant. Do OB/GYN's take new patients that are already pregnant or no?

I had a misscarriage in May and one of my friends that got pregnant the same time of me is still pregnant. When we get together with the rest of our friends. No one will talk about her pregnancy because of me. Someone new to our friends started talking about it and then another person grabbed her and whispered what happened to me. I have gotten past what happened and this is driving me crazy! I want to be able to talk about my friends pregnancy and everything she is going through. What can I do to let them know without being rude.

I do understand they are doing it to be nice to me.

Also some of these women I don't know that well

Me and my husband have been TTC for a few months now. We had sex on the days I was most fertile, but I am not due to start my perios until Monday. I'm not really getting any symptoms except the tiredness. I don't know what's wrong, but for the last week, I've been having non-stop dreams about me being pregnant. Is this a sign?
