when you ovulate ... Is that the clear jelly looking stuff that comes out of you.. ? And does that mean you can try to have a baby during or after ovulation?

She started a new day care 3 weeks ago, she has already gotten a cold (that was last week) and a bad cough. This week we took her back to the Dr. because she was coughing constantly Sunday. It turns out that she is at the early stages of an ear infection and they went ahead and gave her a chest x-ray since she's been coughing for over a week. The Dr. called me the next day and told us that she a minor case of Bronchitus!!!!!!!!!! We're giving her a prescribed cough medicine and an antibiotic, but now I really want to give her vitamins to strengthen her immune system but I have no idea which would be a good one...

I am a 25 yr old mother of one 15 month old son. Married to his father for 3 yrs with him for 9 yrs. Work 3 days per week. Own a home 2 cars 4 wheeler, baby has TONS of toys etc... no drinking or drugs, I do not go out but maybe once every 6 months, nothing unusual happens in our home. We are the commercial for boring stable american working family. We know a few "unstable" families divorced, bar hoppers, dating frequently, drink smoke, late nights, fighting, broke, drop kids everywhere they can to get out to the bar 5-6 nights per week etc.. everything you can think of as unstable. Our child is soooo cranky and their children are so laid back. Go with the flow, barely ever cry, fall asleep on their own, eat anything. My kid is like the kid you dont want to watch because he gets rocked to sleep, picky eater, cries when he even fall on his butt, If I do it all by the book and others just neglect their kid day after day why is my kid always upset and theirs seems so happy with life?

i was wondering if its ok to just potty train my 2 year old little girl in panties than pull ups, because i notice when i use pull ups she just pees in them but when i put her "big girl" panties on (even at night) she does not use the bathoom on herself that much.

did you go into labor?

I lost mine today and I have a scheduled ceserean on Monday, I've got strong pelvic pains but really no contractions to worry about. I called the nurse last night about he pains but she said that I could probably wait till the contractions got worse.

But I lost it today, do you think I should go to the hospital and get checked to make sure I'm not too dilated?

Thanks!

I took a HPT yesterday am and it showed a dark pink line and a faint pink line, but the lines weren't close together! The directions say that the liines don't have to be the same color so I took it as a positive and they also say that the positive result will last for at least 48 hours and the test still reads the same! I went today to take another test to be sure and it said negative!! I have an appt today and I'm gonna try to get the blood work done and I have another appt next week to get the details if I am pregnant!! I've had the symptoms and my cycle is late!! Has this happened to anyone before?? If so, what were your results???

I am babysitting a 3 1/2 year old girl tonight, while her parents attend a wake. This is the first time I am watching her. Any tips or advice? Also, I'm bringing a Barbie video, coloring books/crayons and a Kelly doll. Should I bring anything else??

my daughter is in her teens, and has become a little bit of a hippy.

she refuses to get an abortion... she keeps telling me that it's murder etc, you know the usual excuses.

im worried that this might lead to something unpleasent like not shaving her armpits or wearing inappropriate clothing...

is there a way to stop all this before it gets out of control?

Say for instance one day after getting into adult hood someone you trusted just came up to you and told you that when you were born you were born addicted to heroin or something.

i am just beginning my 4th month of pregnancy. I have always been a really petite girl, and although I can tell that I've gained like 10 lbs and so can my husband, no one else can really notice yet. My husband and I were visiting some of his moms friends and I am in a living room full of people I have never met before when his moms friend asks about my pregnancy. I tell her that I am 16 weeks pregnant. She replies, "Where... well you're gonna have a tiny baby". I defend myself, saying well I've already gained like 10 pounds, I've just always been really small. So my mother-in-law chimes in " Ya, she's gained some weight, she looked anorexic before". I was so embarrassed and humilliated I got up crying and went to the bathroom. I've never had an eating disorder I just have a fast metabolism. I just couldn't believe she said that, and in a room full of people I had just met. I couldn't stop crying and I told my husband to take me home. What would you do? Would u be offended?

Am i the only one who has a fussy and very demanding 7 month old son?? If you do, explain what he/ she does? my son cries even if all of his needs have been met, he is only happy for 10-15 minutes at a time. Thankfully, i get rest when he sleeps, he is defintely a great sleeper but when he is up, he is crying every 15 minutes or so for no reason. my doctor even confirmed he is just a demanding baby. my daughter is 8 and as an infant, she was excellent, never gave me a problem.
