Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 October 2006

We generally only let our kids miss school when they have a high fever or keep vomiting or have a highly contagious sickness. I think school is important and staying active will keep their minds off of it. I think it also allows them to fight it off faster as some medical studies have indicated. What are your rules for your kids being sick? Have you ever made them go to school when they did not feel well?

Sometimes my baby's pee or poo would leak out from the sides or below and I'm wondering if I'm using the diaper the right way, which is opening it, wrapping it around her bottom and closing it. My mum says that when i open the diaper, I should make sure the frills are wide open too. Is that right?? I've tried it but the results are no different

I have just never understood why when parents are going to talk about sex to their children they refer to it as the birds and bees. If anyone knows why please let me know.

Im scared to let my baby sleep in a crib because i think a spider or roach will crawl on her if im not next to her. So she sleeps on the bed next to me. Ive just moved into this new apt. Its only 4 years old and still clean. For some reason theres a few roaches n spiders. One night a roach crawled on my bf's neck. Ive seen a baby roach on the bed. Worried that a spider would bite her. or even worse crawl in her ears. Any of ever heard of any stories where that has happened? Or am i just worrying to much? Some help please..

How many weeks or months does it take a female to get pregnant after she's had sexual intercourse?

I don't know if "suspicious" is the right word, I just feel downright weird when someone asks me what name we've picked out for our future daughter. And most people won't take NO for an answer! My boss practically dragged it out of me, even when I told her I was uncomfortable talking about it.

My husband and I don't even refer to her by her name yet. I'm 36 weeks along, and we still call her "the baby" or just "it." And now that the grandparents know what we're naming her, they refer to her by name all the time, which makes me crazy.

I'm weird, huh...?

I took a preg test and it came out negative. I still haven't gotten my period and its only been 5 days since i was supposed to start, but my question is how long should i wait until I test again? I've never skipped before. I also have been really tired lately, feeling dizzy, sick at night, and really dehydrated.
