Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 October 2006

WENT TO HOSPITAL 2 DAYS AGO FOR VAGINAL BLEEDING FOR 14 DAYS, AFTER 4 POSITIVE PREGNANCY TESTS. DOCTORS COMPLETED PREGNANCY TESTS ALL POSITIVE AND BLOOD AND HORMONE TESTS. THE DOCTOR RULED OUT ANY HEALTH CONDITIONS BY DOING ADDITIONAL BLOODWORK. VAGINAL AND EXTERNAL SONOGRAMS REVEALED NO PREGNANCY CERVIX EMPTY. THE DOCTOR EXPLAINED THAT I AM PREGNANT AND THEIR MAY HAVE BEEN A MISCARRIAGE OR THE FETUS IS GROWING IN MY TUBE, ABDOMEN, OR CERVIX. THE BLEEDING IS CONTINUING AND HAS TURNED DARK BROWN WHEN BEFORE IT WAS BRIGHT RED. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO FOLLOW UP HORMONE LEVEL TESTS.
HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS?

With my 1st c section, I was allowed to hold my baby as they wheeled me to MY room...not a recovery room...and baby was allowed to stay with me, we were never separated. This new information is really bothering me, especially since I am NOT going to be completely "out" for the birth. Hospital staff said my husband can either stay with me in recovery OR with the baby in the nursery. I'm fine with Shawn staying with the baby during that time...it would be special bonding time for them, but I don't really want anyone else to be able to ooooo and ahhhh over the baby before Shawn and I get to. Has this situation happened to anyone else? If so...how did it go? Were you able to "keep" others from seeing the baby before you and your partner were ready for them to?? I know I sound so selfish, but I just want that time between us before all the "hoopla" with everyone else.

Family custody, support - legal matters?
Hello! So I'm filing for custody and child supp. for my baby girl. I'm debating now if this is really the right thing to do. The daddy hasn't ever seen her and has always made excuses to her parties and stuff. The 1st time he saw her was at court today and he was non emotional, coldhearted, nonslagia and just walk by shugging her off. Who does that to their baby? Their own flesh and she looks so much like him. I'm in tears becuz I want to do whats right but i don't want to be the mean person in all this. It has nothing to do with me, him or our families - only the child. But why is this so emotionally hard? I really want to drop everything and not deal with him but i'm afriad my baby girl will lose if i do and of course I don't want that. :_( I just don't understand how someone can think a baby is such an inconvience and mistake they shug them off. She has never ever been turned away from anyone - until now and that was by her biological father! I haven't stopped crying!

I'm expecting in February '07 and was wondering what kind of travel systems I can fit in the trunk (if any at all!) of a new VW Beetle.

Will Babies R Us let you take the floor model out to your car to see if it fits folded up?

Thanks!

Hey..
I never though this would happen to me.. I don't know why but I thought that.. I guess thats what every teen thinks about pregnacy huh? If we are so scared to have babies why do we have sex? Who knows. . Yeah i may sound horrible but im not. I look at my dad and it hurts me, i feel so ashamed, and i feel hurt for him.. I don't think he knows how much i love him.. My heart is breaking for my poor family, I was thinkingback on my early years and watching home videos and i see that i mean more to my dad then anything. I feel like a bad person, I was his last hope to a sucesful daughter..I ruined it.. Im scared, In feb. when I have her im moving in with my boyfriend I just relized I leaving my family, everything I have ever known or loved. I don't want to hurt them more.. I don't want to leave my dad. This is all so overwellming....................who else has been though this???

Questions "I beat my kid and my friends think ..." Or "I make my kid drink my urine...." I'm very offended by these questions. I don't think they are funny and reported them without giving the asker the satistfaction of a reply. Am I the only one who has a problem with this? How do we find out if anything was done about it?

For the past couple of weeks, my son has been getting in trouble in school, talking while he is suposed to be doing classwork, hitting other kids, just generally getting in trouble everyday. We have tried taking away things he likes, having him do extra homework and what not, and nothing seems to be working. He is normally a very good child and if any of you have any advise aside form spanking him, I would appreciate it.

and would never put his hands on anyone at school. At home however he is pretty rough and I have taught him how to fight if needed to defend himself.

Three times in a week there has been an incident with him being pushed one day, choked another day (yeah, choked) and then punched today. The teacher even says that it is not anything that my son is doing its just these few boys that pick on everyone and have no damn sense.

My question is should I tell my son to stop holding back (he has told me he wants to hit back but knows its not OK ) and teach these kids a lesson so they will know not to mess with him? I dont mean to let him get into fights everyday but someone can only take so much and I dont want him to bottle this up and have it burst out when he is older and he goes nuts on someone.

P.S. His teacher even said (between me and her) that if he got fed up and finally hit back he wouldnt be in trouble.

We were eating at Taco Bell and I let my kid know her headlights were on. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I really feel she should wear more clothes.Anyway that ruined the meal pretty much and at home she cried to her mom about it, at lesat I think it was probably about this.

Basically how can I patch this up without backing down on my opinion, or using my wife as a go-between like some wuss dad (I mean I can talk to my own daughter thanks very much). I just need to figure the right thing to say to her.

I asked this question yesterday but nobody was on my side. So let me clarify that I was very nice when I said it, something like "hey sweetie, your headlights are on, you can tell."

When my second baby is born, my son will be 23 months old. Do you think it's wise to get a double stroller? I'm not sure how long my son will use a stroller (he's my first and I don't know many other children-how long did your kids use one?) Thank you for your help on this! Any double stroller suggestions?
