Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 October 2006

I don't like to take pills, hence the reason I am pregnant. I started off taking my prenatal vitamens but gradually forgot and eventually wasn't taking them. I am 24 weeks pregnant now and have had a healthy pregnancy. I was put in the hospital one time for dehydration, but I have been drinking plenty of water and milk since then. I know that people back in the day didn't have prenatal vitamens, so are me and my baby going to be fine?

My cousin had a C-section 3 days ago at almost 8 months pregnant. Her baby was getting to large and was causing her lots of pain. The baby was also pushing down on her bladder and the doctor said it could rupture it at any minute. So they made the choice to operate. When they delivered the baby they noticed she was not breathing normally. Come to find out one of her little lungs did not fully develop. She was put on a respirator which was the only thing keeping her alive at that moment. The doctor said there was nothing they could do that it would be better to take her off the respirator and she past away moments later. My question is could the doctors have detected the baby was not breathing normally while pregnant? It would've prepared my cousin for this.

Her baby was almost 9 pounds and very beautiful. She looked very healthy, but apparantely she wasn't.

I am due to deliver this week, and have heard, and read all the helpful hints on helping the labor process begin. I just wanted to know if it is the actual semen that helps begin the contractions, or if it is the orgasm a women has during sexual peak which helps along the labor.

I have never had sex. I gave my bf a hand job 3 weeks ago with all of my clothes on, the weekend after my period. I am now 6 days late. I have been really stressed about this for the past 2 weeks and I wonder if that could be making me late. I have taken two pregnancy test, one 6 days ago and one 2 days ago. both were negative.

ok here is what happend. I had unprotected sex, the man cummed in me. When I got home about one hour later, I inserted two things of spermicide. I also took an ovulation predictor test, it said it was one of my fertile days, then i took two weeks worth of my Ortho Tri Cyclen LO pills. So i figure the spermicide killed any sperm in the vagina, i wonder if they could have gotten into the cervix in one hours time. Also i read some where if you take a combination of birth control pills it can equal the same as taking Plan B ermgency contraception. Since i did not have the exact combination I just took two weeks of contraception as a guess.

Okay I know there is a chance. I just want to knwo if it is likely. thanks !

My little boy is about a year and a half. My daughter was around the same age. But she didn't have any sibblings then. The guide I used last time said that if there are sibblings it is a good idea to get a babysitter for them or leave them at a relatives house for a few days while you train. I do not have anyone to leave my girl with, and if I did I don't have the money to pay them. Have any of you potty trained a child while there were other young children present? Was it hard to concentrate enough on the one you were trying to train, and how successful was your attempt?

Because of my constant fear of sids since my baby was born,she slept in a bassinette from birth till recently and then I let her sleep in our bed from 5 months till now that shes 6 months old.I know I will get a lot of heat for this,doctors strongly advise against it. but Im NOT recomending this to anybody but have to say in my case its been a positive experience,she sleeps straight through the night from 9 pm to 7 am non stop and so do I.Down side is were trying to wean her in her crib and she wont sleep in it. My husband is annoyed because he has a friend who did the same and their boy is now 2 years old and still sleeping in the same bad with the parent and fears our daughter will end up doing the same.Anybody going through this?

If a parent finds a note and reads it, they are snooping. Thus a "bad parent"

If a parent doesn't read a note and their child ends up pregnant they were neglectful. Thus a "bad parent."

I would like to know where do you draw the line with teenagers? I know everyone thinks if you are open with kids they will come to you but that doesn't always happen. Should we not invade privacy and let teens do stupid things (sex, drugs, and self-abuse)--that will end up hurting them in the end? Or should we snoop and stop the mistakes from happening?
