Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 September 2006

When ask my daughter to do something, she says "no", unless there is something in it for her. She listens very well to her father, and all he has to do is give her the look. With me, even when I spank her, it does no good! Time out works somewhat, but only for a while. My parents are always getting in the middle so I ask them not to interfere when I am disciplining her. I am trying my best. What do I do?

Also I need some gift ideas. I dont want a bunch of crappy toys either that are going to accumilate. I am more interested in good quality toys, things that are going to be worth the money. Already have tons of whatever toys and I dont want to buy junk.
Any ideas?

Our 6 mth. old has slept in a sleep positioner and has outgrown it. We have a video monitor and can watch her toss and turn (she is a very active sllepr) the problem is now every time she turns she wakes up and cries, my wife goes in and gives her the ninny and she goes back to sleep for an hour until she does it again. My ??? is do they make a larger positioner? or does anyone have any other suggestions? its like we are back to week one where we get no sleep at all, PLEASE HELP

Prior to M/C in April I was on a 28 day cycle. Now my cycle is 35 days. I ovulated on the 8th and would have seen AF on the 22nd but she didn't show. Took test four days before AF expected BFN, another test on the 22nd another BFN. Currently experiencing AF pains, nausea and throbbing boobs but as of yesteday still a BFN on pregnancy test. Sould I wait and take another test at the end of the week or wait for blood test at Dr.'s appt. on next Tuesday?

My daughter is nearing puberty. I was wondering what is the best way to explain the changes her body will go through, specifically her period.

I am 21 weeks and I try to sleep on my side, but most of the time I wind up on my back by morning. I have tried putting pillows behind me so I won't roll over, but I wind up on my back anyway. Every once in awhile I wake on my stomach, but I don't have much of a belly yet, so I am not worried. Any suggestions? How detrimental is it to sleep on your back? I recently heard that it is an old wives tale.

I went to my ob today and they checked the heartbeat it was fine, they had trouble finding the heartbeat she had to really press down on my right side really low in the pubic bone area to fine it. It was strong at 160. My question is that I am almost 16 weeks is it normal for the baby to still be that low? On the pregnancy sites it says it should be out of the pubic bone by now. Is this to why I am not showing yet b/c it's so low. When should I expect the baby to rise up? Thanks

So I called the doctor and discribed my symptoms. They want me to come in for a check up but I can't afford it
I spoke with a friend last night and she said that for 4 months she had her period while she was pregnant, that it got lighter and lighter then finally stopped. My period just ended but there is still some spotting but pinkish in color. Even on my heaviest day of my period it was still pinkish bright red and not heavy at all. My breast are still hurting but not my nipples, my milk pockets and I haven't breast fed in over 6 months!!!!! I also keep feeling quizy. I want to take a pregnancy test today but will the result be accurate?

I am 13 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if I can still sleep on my stomach, sometimes I feel like I am hurting the baby by doing it, but then again if I still can do it then it must be ok. Does anyone know what doctors recommend.

My mom always says don't take the baby in the night air w/out his blanket and a hat no matter the time of year or the state you live in, but I sleep with my window open. I'm 34 with 2 kids and I still don't get why she says that or where she got it from can someone clarify it or do you agree?

She wakes up almost thrice at night for breast milk. I ensure that she gets enough food at night but she still wakes up no matter what or how much she eats. This is leaving me with little sleep. How do I get my baby to sleep thru the night?

Can you actually feel the babies heartbeat and how early? Some times i think that i feel something but it may be the baby kicking. I have no idea. Oh and for all those people who tell me to be on birth control i was i was on the shot and i am still on it i go back in a month to get it again. But i am not going to get it this time. I got it and i didn't know that i was pregnant. I have been on it for a year and a half now. And no i am not a slut it was the first time i had sex. So please stop telling me that i need birth control because it didn't work for me.
