Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 September 2006

My son has ADHD, we do not treat it with medication. Instead, we ask him to think about his actions.
Sometimes, when he thinks something is not fair (someone cutting in line, someone calls him a name, someone smashes his food, etc.) he will try to fix it himself. This is because, he ends up getting so upset when he asks for an adult to help, they shoo him away as if it isn't a big deal. Well, it is a big deal to an 8 year old.
Today, a kid cut in line, and my son got really upset. The teacher and volunteer also say he was saying things like "What the Hell?" or "I am so pissed off!"
I have a hard time believing that, but that isn't my issue.
I need to find a way to help him understand he needs to communicate clearer and not get so upset?

BTW...he isn't on meds for ADHD, because it is a mild case and he is not a danger to himself or any others. We prefer it this way.

We have to ask her do or not to do something over and over. She looks at us like we are speaking foregin to her. We ask her why she doesn't listen to us and her reply is always "i'm a kid". We have tried to use positive reinforcement, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

What ended up happening??? I've tried, sex, some nipple stimulation, red raspberry leaf tea 3x a day, evening primrose oil capsules both orally & vaginally, & 2 oz of castor oil as per my midwife. It didn't even work as a laxative !!!! I know many women have failed out there as well. Just wonder how long after trying all this nonsense was ur baby actually born!!!???

BEFORE I ASK...yes i know i've asked a few questions in the past 24 hours...and in the next few hours i'm taking a test. i just want as much insight as i can get.

anyways...two weeks ago i had what i thought was implantation spotting. i am a week late and a few days ago my lower back started hurting. never a symptom of my period. then last night i started cramping and mid day today i had what i thought was my period...again for only a split second. my mother had her period when she was pregnant for a few months. is this wierd? or am i just over exaggerating? i just want to know because i know tests can become false if you take them at the wrong time.

"a false test gives room to grow, a positive is always positive"

thanks to all for your help.
i will update with the later news :)

I just found out today I am dialated 1 cm. I am almost 39 weeks so I guess I'm pretty normal! I was wondering how long everyone else was dialated 1 cm...I want to kind of get an idea of how long it could be before I really go into labor!

I have done research and everythign states, if its yellow with odor it might be an infection. However there is no odor. It is a thick yellow color and kinda sticky. I don't have many symptoms either, just breast tenderness and a little fatigue. So is this normal?

im 5'4" and am about 139...i have lost 14 lbs since becoming pregnant 12 weeks due to some serious morning sickness, my dr. has tried 4 dif. kind of pills to make it go away, were trying to avoid me being hospitilized again, the most recent pill i was put on was for chemo therapy and pre/post surgary patients which blocked the serotoin i think to make me not feel nausous or vomit...and this isnt working anymore.

*another thing...being only 12 wks along should i be showing and should i already be having back pain? i dont get to see my dr. until thurs. and would like to have a list of nessary ?'s to ask.

* could this be related to the fact that i am only 17? (be 18 on sept. 19th)

*anybody else take Flinstone Vitamins because others are too strong for tummies? my ob/gyn said to take 6 but upon looking at the back and seeing that it contains 3000 IU's of vitamin A and i should only be taking a max of 10,000 IU i started only taking 2, could that be heathy still?

thanks

I am not late yet, but I took an EPT Pregnancy test since I am supposed to start anytime soon. I followed the instructions, and it said that in the round box, there'd be a pregnant or not pregnant sign, and in the square box there'd be a line showing you'd done the test right. I came out negative, but the square line didn't show up. How accurate is that reading without the line in the circle thingie?

I am almost 39 weeks pregnant. The past few weeks my stretch marks have been extremely itchy. I try not to itch them but can't help it...I have tried all sorts of moisturizers. I have one on my lower belly pretty close down toward my pelvis and it is raised unlike the rest which sink into the belly...How do I get rid of the itchiness and why is the one raised rather then slightly in like the others?

My son (he is six years old) hit his head on a tree about three days ago and it was cut pretty bad. We don't have insurance (and don't qualify for Medicad) so I didn't and cannot take him to the hospital. I put butterfly bandaids on it but it's starting to look a pretty red around the wound and white around the outside of the cut. I'm not too sure what to put on it other than hydrogyne poroxide. I"m thinking about getting my friend (she went to nursing school for about a year and a half) put some stitches in. I just don't know what to do?!? Any advice?

hi ok so, me and my boyfriend had sex on saturday 2nd, with a condom, point is he didnt ejaculate, but the condom did break while it was outside and still very close to my vagina. Could i have gotten pregnant? we're both extremely scared were both 17 and im really stressed out about it.
I can't remember when my period was supposed to arrive calculating from last months, i shouldve gotten it on the 4th (yesterday) or on the 10th which is sunday, i was sick from the 13th-18th of august, about 2 weeks after my period in august. could my medicine have caused my pariod not to arrive?
I know there's always a small percentage of getting pregnant no matter what, but is it possible that im just stressing too much about it and that's why its not arriving?
I had all my normal PMS symptoms from the 28th of august to the 1st of september, (moody, crying spells, cravings, irritability) and i still have them especially with my boobs they really hurt.
id really apreciate it if someone could help

I've been having painless contractions on and off for over a week now (I'm 26 weeks pregnant).

I can feel my stomach tightening up and my bump going a bit hard.

They don't hurt, in fact if I wasn't concentrating I wouldn't notice them. I guess they are "Braxton Hicks" contractions.

I've read that you get them right at the end of pregnancy though. I'd be interested to read when others got them.

I thought after the first week it would stop, most kids cry like that the first week because they don't know the place. But its going on 3 weeks and he still does it. How can I get him to stop? I do this all on my own so there are times I need to use the restroom or go to the kitchen and when I go he will cry. And its a Screaming type of cry. I just don't know what to do about it and its really starting to stress me out. Any ideas?
