Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 September 2006

Just wanted to have some other opinions. My son is 3 years old and in preschool, he's been having trouble keeping his attention and following rules in school, and last night he didn't sleep good at all, he woke up several times. If I send him to school I have to wake him up in a few hours, most likely he's going to be tired and grouchy and if he goes to school he's probably not going to have a good day, so do you think I should keep him home today?

Is it safe to get her operated? She doesn't get any pain . We just saw a bulge appearing on the right lower end of her stomach. Doctor told it has been caused due to muscular weakness. Any idea if it has been caused due to Vitamin deficiency?

His mum died not long ago, and she always said that she wanted a granddaughter...

If it's a girl, we've decided to name her after his mum, BUT...

What if I have a boy? I'm really worried that I'll disappoint him, and I'm worried that he won't love our baby as much if it's a boy.

I just want a happy, healthy child, but he is really set on a girl.

I've tried talking to him about it, I'll say "Honey, it might be a boy" and he just replies "No, it's going to be a little girl"...

I don't know what o do to stop his disappointmet! Help!

70% of the time when someone has a step child who is: disrespectful, a liar, and/or mean-spirited the step mom is advised to” earn their respect”/“realize that U must never discipline them, your job is only to love them as if they were your own” EVEN with teenaged kids/20-something kids. 2ndly I don’t want to play shrink 4 any kids. If they're being a**holes why do I have to view it as “probable issues from the bad divorce of their parents.”ppl don't say that when their collegue/sales rep/waiter, etc is being a jerk. “the rep probably had to endure her folk’s divorce so I just need to love her.” Age 13+ shouldn’t they get their “act like a louse b/c Ur folks broke up” card revoked? If a step mom said to U, “My spouse assured me that he had respectful children & that he was a stern but fair parent. They R not & he allows them to walk all over him and me therefore he can take his coddled brats and jump ‘cause I don’t have time for it!" Wld U understand her or think she was a b i t c h?

I am still breastfeeding but having to supplement. We first started on Enfamil and my 8 week old was having severe stomach ache and gas. Her doctor then said to try Soy formula and suggested I try to stay away from dairy products. That didn't help much.

I have been reading up a little and decided to try Nestle Good Start. It is the best so far. She rarely is in pain anymore but she still has gas constantly.

Does anyone know firsthand what is best?

i was just informated by my primary care practictioner that i have polycystic ovarian syndrome as metabolic syndrome. Me and my husband are trying for a child. I was told that having these conditions, will greatly decrease my chances of having a child. Is there anything the doctor can do to help me with this problem. She had put me on BC pills to help these conditions but it didnt work, and considering wanting a child i disconitued taking them. She has yet to guve me further treatment, she said she was considering somthing but first she wants to preform several blood tests. I havent spoken with her about wanting a baby yet though. Shes my family's doctor. I am affraid she will try to discourage me becuase me and my husband are a younger couple. She always knows my mother would be dissapointed in me. I dont want anything slipping up to my mother either. I want to tell her myself. We have discussed it (myhusband and i) we both really prepared and want this alot. What do you suggest?

....Or something....

I have had really bad nausea, insomnia and back ache for the last month or so because of my pregnancy, but my boyfriend seems to be jealous of my symptoms...

If I say "I'm really tired, I hardly slept last night", he'll say "Me neither, I feel terrible"

Or "My back ache is playing up today, so I'm going to sit down for a bit" - he'll say "My back is so bad I don't think I should sit down, I might not be able to get up"

And so on, that sort of thing...

I don't understand it, it's like he's trying to beat me at not feeling good! All I want is just a hug, but I seem to be getting this odd reaction all the time - sometimes I just want to scream at him "I'm the one who's pregnant not you!!!"

He also knows how tired I am but he keeps commenting if I haven't done the dusting, or bleached the loo etc...

Is he angry with me for being pregnant?? We both wanted this, and we'd been trying for months!!

Help!!??

courgette. My son is 4mths old and has been being weaned for a week now. he quite willingly eats all the dried baby feeds that are added to his milk. I'm going away on holiday and had some courgettes left over so wondered if i steamed and mushed the insides if he would be able to eat these if mixed with some baby rice or on their own??

I'm 11 weeks pregnant, some dull cramping, no bleeding... just wondering if anyone else experienced/are experiencing this. I had an ultrasound and the baby is growing fine and has an excellent heartrate of 156 bpm, and they said nothing to worry about.

I heard a big reason is your uterus stretching. This is mine and my husband's first baby. Just looking for reassurance.
