Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 October 2006

I have a good job, a nice house, and have been the the only caregiver besides my parents help. He is a bartender, has no steady home, and his car isnt even babysafe, he also drinks. All of a sudden he wants to play daddy. He drank through my pregnancy which created so much stress. I don't feel saft letting him take my daughter out of my sight. He gives me no money to help take care of her. Can you tell me some of the laws.

I was on the motorway at the time and was horrified, i took it back to mothercare today for a refundas it was not safe for my grandson to be in. I was refused a refund they said there was nothing wrong with the seat and that some children do this and it was my responsibility to teach the child it was dangerous. The green arrow was showing which says i have tightened correctly.

Do you think I'm right to ask for the £144.99 back

I went to a car safety ctr and was fitted with another seat.

My 4-yr old complains about everything. We haven't spoiled her. We set boundaries, she has excellent manners, but for some reason, it seems lately that absolutely nothing is good enough for her.

I run her bath, it's too hot. I run her bath, it's too cold. Her teacher hands out candy, she complains she didn't get the pink piece. We go to the play area in the mall, she complains when it's time to leave. I buy her the Cinderella costume she's wanted for months and she complains that it's itchy. I give her a banana with her breakfast, she complains that there's a brown spot on it. I give her an apple the next day, she complains that I left some of the peel on.

Does anyone here have experience with a chronic complainer? She doesn't get it from her dad or me. We have told our parents to stop sending any goodies for a while because she's just too ungrateful. Apart from that, what else can we do? Her teacher and we are tired of hearing constant complaints. Thanks much.

My granddaughter is 11 and in 6th grade and her Mom made a deal with her that if she was diligent about washing her face and brushing her teeth for two weeks that she could wear a tiny bit of eye shadow and mascara and clear lip gloss. I think it's too young even though she is an exceptionally good kid.

The thing is, I really would like to have a natural birth. When do you think it will be safe to conceive? My husband and I love being parents and want another one! (no, we're not crazy) But I want it to be as safe as possible.

She is 38 weeks...We have been to the hospital 3 times already in the past two months. But here recentely she has been having contractions that are so painful that she caint talk during them or if I talk she yells at me and she has also been having sharp pains in her legs. every time we go to the ob/gyn no signs of dialation but my mom told me she never did with my and that makes me wonder if she could be in the early stages of labor but do the same as my mom, u know? i dont know im only 21 and this is my first time of being a dad and i really dont know whats what!!

My daughter has just been told that her 5 month old fetus will not survive out of the womb at full term. One of her hormones is out of wack. The hospital will be doing an amniosentisis to find out exactly why this happened. She was given two options: to go full lterm because of your religion or induce labor in the hospital now to terminate pregnancy.

My last period was on 1/19/06! My cycles are fairly regular, 4-5 days long, every 29-32 days! I was sexually active several days in february, but with two diffrent men. Call me a slut or whatever you'd like but I'd appreciate some sincere answers. I had sex on Feb 7th, 9th, and 13th. I know it's very close but I had an ultrasound done on 4/3/06 that showed I was 9wks 3 days pregnant, which means I probably got pregnant on the 9th, right? and I didnt get a positive test result until I was nearly a week late, so I assume I ovulated a little later than normal. Please think a minute about the question, I really want real answers!

I am 18 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with "Complete Placenta Previa" when I was around 12 weeks pregnant. Next week I'll have an ultrasound done to see how things are going, my doc. told me that in most cases previas resolves on their own, but I am concern, because I have a Complete previa wich is the worst of all of them. Thank God I haven't had any bledding yet. I've been doing a lot of reading about this problem, and I read that one of the problems I may face is having placenta accreta, it's a very scary thing because of all the bledding involved and possible hysterectomy (Please God don't let that happen). BTW my main concern right now (along with everything else) is having placenta accreta when I give birth. Is there a way that they can see the placenta accreta in a u/s? thanks in advance. God bless!

in the vagina area. A lot of preasure is what she says. She is trying to stay off her feet and not do anything because she wants me to be there with her. As of last week she was diatalted to 2 or 3 and I'm hoping that she can wait just a few more days. It's been awhile for me since I have been pregnant and seem to have forgotten alot lol I didn't think I could after being pregnant 3 times but I did. Do you think that if she stays off her feet that it could help her??? Or does anyone have any ideas that have helped them not deliver early?

Im pregnant. When you go in for your 1st cervical exam, do they give you a pap test? Ive only had one test done (im 18) and it was last year, and when they used that brush and q tip thing it hurt like hell. it felt like they put that brush thing INSIDE the cervix. Do they??? AND...I thought that your uterus is right through the cervix. If my doctor is putting that brush thing through my cervix, can it hurt the baby??? I F N HATE PAP TESTS!!! INPUT PLEASE!
