Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 September 2006

My son is 3 months old and is sleeping through the night in his crib. We would like to start travelling with him to see family for overnight stays, but I truly don't want him to regress to waking up in the middle of the night. Any suggestions?? And what should we use as a crib -- does a pack and play work well? Thx!

I feel in our society today respect is a top issue. There seems to be too many children who do not get respect and far more who do not give respect. I’m not asking because I need to earn respect I’m just asking this from a parents stand point of what you are doing with your children to teach them or if you have concern at all.

-Do you believe in the saying “To earn respect you must give it first?”

-At what age do you believe your children should get respect?

-Do you think respect is something that takes time or it should be automatically given?

-In what ways do you teach you children respect?

-Do you believe etiquette in our society is even around anymore and do you feel etiquette has anything to do with respect?

-Any other feelings on the issue?

Thank you for all the responses!

My girlfriend and I recently had our baby (Sep. 4) and my son was delivered using the vaccum. She was just starting and pushing fine and the Doctor left then came back 5 minutes later and said he had to perform another delivery soon so he had to use the vacuum with my girl. My son now is having complications with his breathing and had to be transferred to another hospital. Does anyone know if this unnecessary procedure is the cause of my baby's health issues?

I had my daughter in '99 while I was working as a cashier at Walmart. They refused to obey the Dr's orders so I was forced to stand on my feet for hours w/o a break & to lift items over 20 lbs (up to 50 in most cases). When I went into labor - I wasn't even aware of it. In fact, I had just gone in for my scheduled ckup and found out that I was already 6 cm dialated. He sent me to the hospital, broke my water & w/o pain meds I had her w/in 2 1/2 hrs.

Fast forward to now, it's been 7 yrs and I'm pregnant w/my 2nd child & I now have an office position. My mother also likes to remind me that she was told (when she had my sis & I) that if its been more than 4 yrs, it's like having your first child all over again. The only thing that hasn't changed is that I continue to have back problems (herniated disk).

What should I expect this time? I always heard that the 2nd one's faster and haven't found anything to backup what my mom has said.

My daughter is 2 and she keeps rubbing her head and saying ouch, she hasn't hit her head or anything along those lines. She hasn't been sleeping well either. But I know I started getting migraines at age 7 just wondering what age they can start at.

is there anything that you can do---aside from making sure the timing is right to have sex and taking fertility drugs---to help ensure you get pregnant?

In part I am interested in this question because according to South Dakota's ban on abortion a woman can still take emergency contraception before pregnancy is detected. Depending on how many days this is could make this a reasonable defense of why the exception of rape was not included in bill. If a woman was raped and did indeed get pregnant, which the chances are extremely low relative to other forms of conceiving, then she would, if educated, know she could get emergency contraception or maybe simply take the plan B after morning pill.

Has anyone used this? My 1 yo son has terrible eczema all over his torso. A nurse at his pedatrician's office recommended using this. Has anyone else? Does it work?

Did you work up until you went into labor?

When did you stop working?

I am hoping to work until I go into labor or the doctor doesn't allow me to. I love my job and everyone at my office!

A friend of mine who is 30 is trying for a baby (first one) with her husband of 58 years old. Once I've read that ideally the ages of both partners added together should not exceed 70. Are they less likely to conceive?

hello, I am on bc and have been for 2-3 years. all my life I have had a very irregular period until they put me on the pill, then it has been perfectly normal. I started my period on either aug 28 or 29th, and finished like normal. 5 days after my period (day 10 of the cycle) i noticed that 2 or 3 times in that day when i wiped i had really light light pink. So far it hasn't happened today (6 days after period). I had sex once during my period, and a few times since. I have never "spotted" after a period what could be the cause, and also every time after i pee i still feel like i have to pee. don't know if that means anything just wanted to be sure to add everything...
