I am 38 weeks pregnant and it often feels like there is fluttering in my belly, it doesnt feel like her hiccups and im worried it could be a seizure or something. Its different from her usual movements, any ideas?

My son has just started mving around holding onto the furniture and I'm wondering how long this will last before he lets go and actually walks?

He's 10 months old - to early for all this LOL!

a couple of weeks ago i was told i had a miscarriage and i was bleeding around the time i was suppose to have my period. Before they released me from the hospital, they rechecked my hormones and theywere going back up. i went for a follow up at the gyn office and they did a blood test and it showed my hormones are going up but slowly. they did a urine test and that showed i was also pregnant. i have no cramps except back pain. and i am not bleeding.

After I had taken my daughter to finish her school shopping, I found she had lied to me, stolen cigs from her dad who lives half a state away during visitation and was smoking in my house. (We have a heart patient in the house.) I don't know how to handle this, any suggestions?

over this summer i've gone from a fit, trim & thin 160ish lbs. to 217+lbs. keep in mind i am a 5'10 17 yr. old male (which means i'm clinically obese) most all of the weight has gone to my pregnant/pumpkin looking 46in. flabby belly, HUGE stretch mark ridden thighs (that rub together) & my man boobs aka (moobs)
yet, ironically none of this has bothered me! i just keep laying around, binging 24/7 on sweets, & etc. i actually love my weight gain & plan on gaining ALOT more!

my dr & parents advise me to watch my diet but i dont wanna. instead i wanna keep getting flabbier & fatter! the only probs i have are my clothes (i used to fit in a 30 waist now a 38 is quite a tight squeeze) and my heart which aches after i eat ALOT, climb stairs or out of the blue on occasion!

yet i dont wanna lose weight 'nor do i wanna stay my current weight. my ultimate goal is 269lbs in the upcoming months... keep in mind i put on 65+lbs. in the past few months.

so are there any supporters for me??

my newborn son was born very light skinned but his ears are darker than his skin. why is this?

Or do you think it's too dangerous? I'd shorten it to 12" and let her only wear it during the day.
Any other cute ideas besides ear rings?

It is usually sung in daycares and preschool. My son wants to sing it but doesn't know all the words, and we have moved away from his preschool.

I am a british citizen, been living in the US for 7 yrs. i am going back to the UK because my US visa has expired. I am 4 months pregnant and the father is american. He has to stay in the US because of his job. We want for me and the baby to come back to the US. Can this happen? Or is it better for me to just stay here and have the baby?

I have read about the positives of baby sign language, but does it discourage the baby from learning to speak? If the baby can get what he/she wants by signing, does he/she still try to talk as quickly as non-signing babies?

My daughter (6 yrs) wants to be able to wee in the woods like her little brother (3 1/2 yrs), Is it ok for her to do this or should I not let her brother do it anymore?
If so how do i teach her - showing her myself must be a last resort!

Can I get these tablets that I've heard a lot of people recommend in Canada? I've looked for them at Shoppers Drug Mart and at A&P, but I haven't seen them.

Let me start off by saying that I am not a subscriber (normally) to the cry-it-out method. HOWEVER, I am desperate right now. My 6 month old will not sleep during the day today. She is teething and I've tried to keep her comfortable (oragel, tylenol, teething rings, all when needed, but not exceeding the recommendations on the packaging), but I can not get her to take a nap. She has always been a horrible sleeper; her naps are usually no longer than half an hour to 45 minutes. But she does usually take a nap every 2 hours. Today she woke up at about 8 and it is now 1:30 and she has yet to take a nap. I did get her to sleep at around 11, but my dog barked and woke her up.

Finally, my question -

For those of you who use or used the cry-it-out method, did you use it for naps as well, or just at night?

I know a similar question has been asked before, but...

My 6 month old daughter has always been a spitter-upper, but the last couple of weeks she seems to be spitting up way more and way more often than usual. She's not sick and doesn't seem hungry between feedings. She is mostly breastfed; however, I am weaning her off, so right now we are up to 3 bottles of formula and 4 feedings of breastmilk per day. I also give her a small amount of rice cereal and a small amount of fruits or vegetables in the evening. She has been teething since 3 months, with no teeth yet, and that seems to be increasing in intensity the last few days as well.

Any thoughts or suggestions? I'm not so much worried about her as it is just a hassle to clean her, me, her clothes, my clothes, the floor, the couch, etc, after every time I feed her.

OMFG. I can't take it anymore. I'm due in a week and I can't take these hives. My feet are the worst. On top of them being swollen, they're covered in itchy, burning, red bumps. It looks as though my body has been attacked by fireants and that's about how it feels. I don't want to be induced because most women don't dialate fully and need a c-section. I don't think induction is fair for the baby, or myself. But, I know if my doctor took one look at me, he would schedule one for me. I've heard that the hives go away immediately after delivery. Has anyone else or someone you know had this experience so I'll be better at getting through this?
