Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 September 2006

I'm looking for some variety. I'm pregnant and I need ideas of some great healthy foods. I'm also overweight and looking to avoid extra weight gain during pregnancy. So share what you like and what worked for you. Thanks

My six year old worries all the time! Everynight before he will go to bed he has to check all the doors to make sure they are locked, so robbers won't get in. He also worries about house fires, car crashes, and worries about him and I having health problems. We have never had any security problems, fires, car crashes, or anything bad happen to us. I don't know where that is comming from and has been going on for several months. Is this normal?

My husband had a vasectomy in December. He was in a motorcycle accident in Jan. and had a groin injury. What are the chances that he messed something up and now I can get pregnant? I have had 5 pregnancies and know what it feels like to be pregnant. I am feeling that now but don't want to try and confirm anything because I am so worried. Also, I have recently had a period. It doesn't make sense. What do you think?

I know everyone says wait to have a baby until you're 'financially ready' etc. - but what exactly does that mean? I'm stressing myself out wondering if i'm 'wealthy' enough to have a baby yet. I'm 26 and my hubby is 25, we live in a nice townhouse. We've been doing well so far - but we're not driving around in brand new Land Rovers or living in a half a million dollar home, etc. We're not rich by any means. A part of me can't help but feel guilty - am I going to be able to provide my baby with a good life if I'm not making a six digit income? Just wondering if anyone else has ever felt that way. When exactly IS 'financially read' anyway? Thanks!

I am not pregnant but I was wondering about this. What if I were to get pregnant while taking the pill but didn't know that I was indeed pregnant until the next month when my period didn't come. But I had been taking the pill for a month already. Will taking the pill each day hurt the baby? Thanks! :)

I know all the reasons you aren't supposed to do it, but I tried it just once in a semi-emergency and couldn't make it work!! Baby kept knocking the bottle down (trying to hold it for herself), when she shifted the blanket I had under the bottle would also shift and the bottle would fall, so I'm just curious, all you moms that did it before it became a no-no, and even those of you who still do, how do you make it work?

My son is the 2nd oldest child out of 5. He has an extremely hard time managing his impulsivities. He picks on his siblings, is hyper in public, and refuses to calm down. I can see this crazy look in his eyes when he is behaving this way. I try to remain calm but sometimes I just freak out and cry because he stresses me out so bad. He dosn't act this way in school which makes me think that he CAN control it. I don't understand why he's doing this. He has always thrown tantrums and I really thought it would have gotten better by now. I need to know if I should take him to the doctor or if somehow I have screwed him up. All 5 of my children are loved and cared for equally. They all play sports and get to have one on one time with their father and I as much as possible. Does anyone else have this problem or is my kid just screwed up? Please help!!!

I asked this question last night and thought I’d see what people would say during the day.

If you had a daughter--let’s say she is sixteen--and you found out she was pregnant, would abortion or adoption be an option? Would you allow her to make the decision or would you decide for her? Would you keep or take custody of the child? Remember you are the grandparent. This child would be linked to you, too. Would you really want family being adopted or aborted?

I told the nurse I had a sore throat and she said just drink fluids. I am worried that if this is a serious infection that my baby will catch it. My ob/gyn isn't open again until Monday and I am worried. Does anyone know if a bacterial throat infection can spread to an unborn baby?
