We are renovating a house and have the option of installing air conditioning for both cooling and heating or getting new radiators. Which would be better for a baby? Is air conditioning generally safe for babies?

I have a very, very close friend who believes she may be pregnant. However, she is afraid to ask anyone for help or answers, and so I'm doing this without her knowledge so I may get some answers for her. Now I need to know - she said that the last time she had sex was 2 months ago, in the beginning of July while on vacation. She also said that she had her period right on time following the trip. Now, I've been reading up on possibilities, and I've read about something called "implantation bleeding." I've read that it's only spotting, within 2 weeks of conception, if at all. But she had a full-on period as far as I'm aware. Is it still possible that she may be with child? She also told me that she hasn't experienced any symptoms of pregnancy at all, but the reason she's worried is that she's 2 days late this cycle, which should have began the 8th. If anyone could give me any tips that I may pass on to her, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

I don't have children, but I am AMAZED at how bad some of the kids on the show act. They're horrible and the parents just let them keep acting that way until SuperNanny shows up....anyway, do you think Jo Frost's techniques really work? Do you think she really has changed people lives? I know if I did have children and they acted the way some of those kids do, they'd be getting spanked all the time!

The other day I over heard my son telling a friend on the phone that his mother (my son's) was a "total milph". What exactly does that word mean?

She is an awlful eater. She pretty much only wants mac and cheese or plain pasta. I am not as worried as my husband. She like those really cheap Banquent dinners (that I know can't be good for her) sometimes. I feel 3 year olds are just bad eaters and things will change as she gets older. Breakfast is dry cereal. She eats pretty well at lunch at her daycare. She is very healthy and normal size. Petite, but has been since birth.

I am expecting my third baby. I have 2 boys and am hoping to have a girl this time. I used an ovulation calendar that tells you how to achieve girls or boys. Has anyone else used this? did it work? Has anyone tried the chinese gender predictor? did that work? I heard it is pretty accurate but was curious.

The doc tells my husband and I to wait three months. I can't stand to wait that long. I don't want to have another miscarriage, but I miss the feeling of being pregnant. I want to have a family so badly.

My hubby and I are currently TTC. But we've already been discussing whether or not to breastfeed. I know breastfeeding is best, and I would really like to do that for my baby. But, I will be continuing to work full time after the baby is born and I'm not sure how difficult it will be to handle breastfeeding/pumping/etc. Luckily I work alone on 2nd shift and will be able to pump in private as much as I need to. But how do you know how much you need to pump, how long you can store it after, etc? I'm not even pregnant and already nervous about this issue! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and have had morning sickness since 5 weeks. I'm really getting tired of being hungry all the time but all food I put in comes right back out. I want to hear from women who are or have been pregnant about when their morning sickness ended (just for sake of mind.)

I know this is embarassing, but for a couple of weeks now, I have had a lot of gas, especially in the mornings. I am pretty sure this is from the pregnancy. But I was just wondering if anyone else has had this or have heard anything about it???

I am guessing I am about 1 1/2 months pregnant. My thyroid disorder always makes me about 1 1/2 to 2 months late, so this is a big guess. I have a lot of pressure down below and I just feel like I have to urinate all of the time. I am thinking that it is a bladder infection. I have an obgyn appt. on Thursday. I am really worried . Since it is Sunday, I do not have anyone to call and ask. Has anyone had this before , only being about 1 1/2 months pregnant ? How serious is a bladder infection while you are pregnant ? Should I make an appt. for tommorow, or will I be okay until Thursday ? I know its long. Thanks everyone.

my daughter will be 5 on oct.6. For the past year we have done many things to try to get her to quit. We have tried bandage tape on her thumb, she takes it off when we aren't looking, then puts it back on. we have tried polish called stop the bite (to stop nailbiting), that tastes REALLY gross, but she picks it off, and even though the taste is still there, she sucks it anyway. I've talked to her about it a lot. I've told her she will be starting school soon and she needs to be a big girl to go to school. I've been mean and told her if she sucks her thumb any that day, everyone will get dessert except her. That worked for a few hours, then decided she liked her thumb better than any dessert.

Her dentist has shown me the effects this is having on her teeth as is adement she needs to stop. She already has a "moon". I have shown her this in the mirror and in pictures how it is getting bigger.

Has anyone gone through this? Do you hve any advice that really works? Please hlep!!
