What kind of legal documents / permits we need to leave with my mom? Do we need to leave a letter authorizing her to take my daughter to the ER or doctor if needed? What else is needed? Thank you!!!

This is my first child, my husband and I are thinking we need to change her formula and bottles. Now we are using imfamil lipil w/iron, and bottles are using vent air. We have used Dr Brown's, confeti playtex. I really want her to feel better, using the gas drops are not working. She seams that she is not happy with the formula. I heard that Carnation good start is a great formula to use. Please help

Thank you much

My OB is testing me for it, because of my swelling and other symptoms, but I do not have high blood pressure. Can I still get it? I am 29.5 weeks!

I know from my reproductive class that 14 days after the first day of your period your ovialating, but is that the only day you can get pregnant or can you get pregnant all month long. Is it just that that is your most fertile day or are you fertile the whole month.

Wife is due in a few months and we can't think of a good name. We would prefer something besides the usual (Juan, Jose, Jesus, etc). Something a little unique but not too weird. Especially interested in native latin american names. Any ideas?

I am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. With my first, I had almost no prelabor symptoms or at least didn't recognize them. About a week and a half ago, I lost part of my mucus plug. At my doctor's appointment yesterday, my doctor checked and was able to feel the baby's head during a cervical check. I was not dilated, but the doctor said that my cervix is very soft now. I can feel the baby's head on the pelvic floor now and am peeing all the time!! I have been super emotional the past few days, crying over songs on the radio and stuff like that. How much longer do you all think I have before this baby is born?

I'm at Stay at Home mother of a 5 month old (my first) and I'm just wondering if anyone could give me suggestions on how to loose these extra pounds or if anyone could share their experiences. I was 115 pounds before my pregnancy and I weighed 165 right before I gave birth and I've only lost 25 pounds. I see other skinny mom's with their babies and it makes me feel awful. Any ideas? Thanks so much.

Just a quick survey I‘m doing for my Childhood: Growth and Development class--I am not here to judge. You won’t be scrutinized for your answers, please be honest. I would like to see if there is a pattern with replies. Thank you for your time. A simple yes or no is all that’s needed but feel free to elaborate.

Did you breast feed?

Do you believe in self-soothing?

Did you co-sleep?

Do you believe in spanking?

Do you follow doctor’s orders always?

Do you believe in a certain method of parenting? (If so, please list method)

How old were you when you had your first child?
a. 0-20
b. 20-25
c. 25-30
d. 30+

Do you feel age has to do with the type of parenting style?

Are you a stay-at-home-mother?

first of all, i am 29, he is 33. we are financially ready but DO need a bigger house and hope to move by summer. we have 2 children -8 &10 yrs old. they arent biologically his sons but he is their only dad.so hes never had a child of his own. he keeps changing his mind about when to start trying. he'll bring it up one day and say "i want you to stop your birth control pills at the end of this pack" then change his mind the next day. hes done this several times and he knows how much im ready NOW. it breaks my heart. i get so excited only to be let down. we've talked about it and he knows how i feel, but says hes scared that we either wont have enough money or a big enough house or that something is going to happen to me in birth, theres always something. i keep reminding him that even if we conceived right away, we still have 9 mos. until the baby comes. i dont know if i should just give up or hold him to his word? i feel like i am obsessing about this and i dont want to do that!

I have read many questions about woman who have sore/painful breast as an indicator to pregnancy, but I want to know what type of pain. See I have been having sensations, off & on, run through my breast, sometimes they are painful and other times they are just tender sensations. My breasts are not sore to touch. I don't normally get tender or sore boobs during pms, so that is why I am asking to describe the pain.

* I am expecting my period this Saturday, but I also have been ttc. I am trying to be good at waiting these long two weeks patiently! I plan to test on Saturday if AF does not arrive by then.

My due date is 9/16 and today is the 14th. However my doctor said I am showing no signs of labor, my cervix is still closed, and my little girl is still very high. She set my up to be induced on Tuesday 9/19. Everyone is telling me to let it happen on its on. While I do agree with that becuase I heard inducing usually results in c-sections which I dont want, I am very ready to get her out and see her and be able to sleep on my back. Please can someone help me. I need an answer from someone who is not biased. Thank You!
