Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 September 2006

My 2 1/2 yr olds has had a major skin rash for his whole life so he has sleeped with mom everynight to help with the itching. Avg days sleep was 6-8 hours. Now we have the itch under control so I was hoping we could catch up on sleep. Now all he wants to do is eat food all day and night. He goes to bed around 9pm and will wake up through the night still sleeping with me and says he's hungry. I have tried to keep him very busy through out the day with active play. He's just a highly active child. I can't keep up. Anybody else have a child who eats them out of house and home? if I don't feed him during the night he tosses and turns all night. He eats a great dinner and has milk before bedtime. If he' hungry then we feed him and he's pretty good at asking. But he will still wake up later saying he's hungry. I am beyond total exaustion! i am not able to work anymore because I can't survive on less than 6 hrs, and thats still up every 2-3 hrs at a time. ANY ADVICE PLEASE?

Went into labor/got induced/ceserean?

I'm about in my 39th week but I have a scheduled ceserean (had one previous) and was wondering what week you maybe went into labor and stuff.

Any of you actually went into labor before a scheduled ceserean?

Thanks :)

I'm one of those impatient people who just can't wait to find out if they are pregnant. :) I stopped taking my bc pills a few days before August 20th, which was the day that my period started b/c of getting off of the pills. My period didn't even come regular while i was on the pills so i'm pretty sure it won't now. (if i'm not pregnant) We've been trying ever since my period ended. i don't mean extremely irregular, just a week or two difference each month. My question is involving the best time to take a home pregnancy test. Is it about 4 weeks no matter what or does it really matter about what day my period would have started (around the 20th? but could be couple weeks later? Sorry if i'm confusing lol

ok, now I don't wanna really hear about me rushing my baby, and about how I should let him tell me its time. It will be time when it's time, and it's approaching quickly. He pulls the diaper off, and shows great new interest in the toilet, and watching daddy pee. Trouble is, he's not walking very well just yet. He cruises some...but not walking or standing well on his own. So for now, how about some tips so I can approach it properly (or rather, so daddy can approach it properly) when the time comes.

my husband and i have been trying for about a year now and i've noticed that my period is becoming less and less from month to month since July of this year. I'm traveling a lot and it's hard to time it. What should we do? what should we look for in knowing if we are pregnant?

most gift baskets seem to offer things that the mum already has loads of - or things that she would never use. or they have useful things but are really expensive. i am thinking of selling some and would like to know what you think should be included - what you would like to get. I would like to do baskets for mums, babies and both together - what kind of price would you also be willing to pay - whats the very most that you would pay?
thanks very much in advance

My daughter up until 1 month ago has slept in her own crib all night long. For the past month she screems everytime I try to put her in it. Last night I tried for over 2 hours to calm her even letting her "cry it out". I can't stand the screem she does. Its like she is scared. So I pick her up and bring her to bed with us and she sleeps all night without a peep. But this could strain our marrage really quick plus I don't sleep as well. But I don't want to let her "cry it out" HELP! OH! I should add that she is getting 3 or 4 top teeth, but she isn't fussy all day so I don't know why they would only bother her at night?

I'm 15.Both of my parents work.After I was 2,my parents sent me to daycare(all-day) and when they came back from work,they took me at home.When I was 6 I went to school.It was half-day.After school I came back home and I spent 6 hours alone at home.Many people may consider that their children will do the most stupid things while they are at home alone and they don't want to leave them.Let me clear what's in their mind.When I was 6,my parents didn't have a lot of rules for me.I came home after school and went in the kitchen to eat a sandwich(made from mom in the morning).Then I went in my room and started to write my homeworks.After that I turned on the TV and watched my favourite TV-show.And then I read a book or played cards while mom and dad come home.I spent like this all my life after the age of 5 and I think if something bad should have happened,it would have happened.Children don't seek dangerous situacions.They seek happiness.Why do you think they WILL get in trouble?

I have a son(age 7) and a daughter(age 6).They share one room and one wardrobe.The boy likes to wear girl's clothes.He wears her dresses,skirts and hats and he pretends to be a girl.CPS already look at me with suspicion when we go out for a walk.His father takes him to matches and places where a lot of men come and there are a lot of boys' toys in the house but anyway my son keeps playing with his sister's dolls.We pay attention to both of them with nobody left alone and he doesn't have a reason to try to seek attention.That concerns me.I don't want to take him to psychologist cause it may stress and scare him but I don't want to have problems with CPS.Does anyone else have such a problem and how can I cope with that?

This is probably going to sound retarded, but I've done a little calculating and if I'm right I got pregnant on my husbands birthday, he's not big on celebrating it since he turned 30 this year (not a big deal right!) so I don't know if he'd be happy or not. He's over the moon about the baby (even though he thinks it's twins!) and already driving me nuts with the "How are you feeling?" questions, but do you think he'd like to know that?
