Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 September 2006

A few days ago for cross country we were supposed to be running 3 miles, but the group I was with decided to walk instead, (we normally don't). Well, we ended up walking the whole thing except for when we saw someone from our team and when we were at the very end, so that it would look like we were running. So my coach was saying good job and everything. I normally don't do the opposite of what I'm told, so I really started feeling guilty. Later he asked me how I liked running, and I avoided the question. So I kind of lied. Now if my coach found out what we did, I'm pretty sure he would yell at us. I'm worried that he might find out on his own, too. He's a really great guy, and I fell really bad. So should I confess to him what we did, or run the quivalent of 3 miles or more on my own to make up for what I did?

If one test was positive yesterday and one was negative today which one should I trust? Should I just go ahead and get a blood test or act as if I am and just wait to see if I start my period? My baby is almost two months old and I still have not started my period since having her and I do not breastfeed and my husband have used spermicide and condoms which have broken so what should I do?

What's a good age for parents to allow their kids to go on group dates. Not alone with their boyfriend, but with their friends and their boyfriends? Serious honest answers please.

My son is a month old and he had his first doctor's appt. a week ago. His doctor said that the back right side of his head was flatter than the other side. I knew this but I didn't really think too much of it. He just was sleeping on that side of his head a lot. The doctor told me to try to correct it and help it fill out I needed to place stuffed animals and objects for him to look at on the left side of his head so he would stay off the right side. She also told me to turn his head to the left and hold it there for about ten seconds a few times a day to make that muscle work more and become stronger. I've been doing all the stuff she's said but even after I do all that stuff, whenever I come back to get him after a nap, he'll be turned back the other way on the side of his head that is flat. I've even tried wedging a rolled up receiving blanket and placing it behind the flat side of his head. This hasn't been working too well. He still manages to turn back. Should I be worried?

I want opinions on my name. It's not my real name, it's just a combination of my real first and middle names. It's Emrynne. What do you think of it?

I recently sold a few formula checks on Ebay that were close to exp. & I knew I wouldn't use, I found that there are people who buy hundreds a day, it can't be for personal use. The buyer of mine purchased over 1000 in a month! Do the companies buy them back or what, I found it very strange!

I have a 10 day old infant who was diagnosed with a reflux just after birth.

My biggest concern is that she may have the reflux but she ONLY regurgitates and spits up through her NOSE......

She keeps spitting up even after we have switched to soy formula, leave her upright for 30 minutes after feedings, burp her frequently.......

I am just unsteady about it all.....I have never heard of ANY baby, having a reflux through their nose.

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A NEWBORN?

I could use all the advise and support that I can get.

My husband and I rarely need one, but we are both in school and both have a test on the same day.

My son is 3, it will be early morning and I will be back home before he even wakes up, I just need someone to sit in my apartment for 3 hours in the morning. What's the best way to find someone I can trust?

there are areas of conflict where this was adopted as a measure of ethnic cleansing and brutal revenge as in Bosinia and Rawanda, where aggressors were from different religions or tribal backgrounds. There have been many examples in past too and history is replete with them.Can a mother still love the child who would forever remind her of the pain, helplessness and humilitaion she underwent at the moment?!!!!

Did you know that at even as young as 11 weeks old, babies suck their thumbs in the womb? Isn't that weird!? It is to me. So here's another question: If that baby is just a "bunch of cells and isn't a human or a baby yet" then why does it suck it thumbs or even have thumbs at all for that matter? Why do people still allow the slaughterings to happen to these human infants?

One of my friends at school is a 16 year old girl.

She was regularly having sex with her boyfriend whom I don't know.

She came up to me a little bit ago and told me that she was pregnant.

She said that if she didn't have an abortion, her boyfriend would kill himself.

She my be a sophomore, but she told me she won't drop out of high school, but she's giving up cheerleading, walking down the graduation isle, and so forth.

She tried to ask me for advice but I was like "uh.."

Help me out? Thanks.
