He's been drinking it but not the whole bottle and not as much as he used to drink his formula, is it ok to switch back to formula or should I keep him on vitamin d milk and let him get used to it?

Can anyone give me pointers on my 20 week ultrasound? This is my third pregnancy. I remember the agony of having to drink 40 oz of fluid for the first two ultrasounds. I had to pee so bad that I was in tears the first time. The second time they made me pee because my bladder was too full. I only drank the 40 oz they told me to. I'm excited for the ultrasound but dreading the full bladder. Anyone got any tips to make the process bearable?

I had a talk with my mom, and basically she said that I am a selfish person and she said that i am f*cked up and defensive, and some other things that I don't really feel comfortable saying. I can see where she is coming from, but I don't want to be labeled these things anymore, and i genuinly do want to change. She says that i need to me apart of the "team" and that she won't be putting anything "in" anymore because she always puts in 200% and I don't. has anyone else gone throo this? i really need some help i am feeling very low and worthless rite now. i am not looking for compliments or any special attention, I just want some advice on how i can better myself as a person so my mom will want to be apart of my life again. thx in advance

A year ago I misscarried twins GS 12wks 3 days and 12wks 4 days, I do not have any children.
I had an ultra sound done at 8wks 4days, I'm now 10 weeks along and just saw my doc at 9 wks 4 days....when I went in for the ultra sound the lady doing it said heart rate is good and gest. size was same as LMP 8wks 4days, she told me everything appears fine.....when I just saw the doc he said there might be a problem from looking at ultrasound....not abnormally low amount of fluid but not as much as they like to see....
My friends mom is a nurse that takes care of premature babies and she told me that this is a common thing that happens in this time frame in pregnancy and not to worry but almost everything that I read relates to poor kidneys/lungs and basically pregnancy failure...I'm worried but want to know from expierance, can any of you give me some insight.....will things be ok or should I prepair for the worst again?

I am 30 weeks pregnant and experiencing almost exactly what I did when I was in my first trimester....morning sickness at varying degrees that comes and goes. I even feel it sometimes when she kicks too hard! Is this odd for the third trimester? I don't have any other health issues other than some lower back pain in what I think is my sciatica,and have had normal weight gain and good exercise/nutrition habits. Any ideas of what could be going on here?

My bf and I haven't been super careful, but we've taken some precautions...I just wonder how it was that I didn't get pregnant. He doesn't waste, if you know what I mean. I've heard some women say it took them months, while others have had a slip one time and got preggers. Humm.

When my boyfriend and I have sex, I let him 'go' in me, because I want to have a baby. I am just over a month late for my period. My last period was Sept 3,2006. I have taken 2 pregnancy test since then and they both came back negative. I talked to a few different gyno's and they all said that it could be because my HCG level is low. But my stomach is starting to poke out a little as well as getting hard. I have almost all symptoms except for breat tenderness and vomiting, but my breast did hurt for a good few weeks before my last period, andmy last period though didn't feel like a normal period for me. So I have estimated from my last period how far along that I might be and I came to the number of 7 weeks. But I think that I might be farther along than that. Does anyone have any advice that might help me out?

My two years old nephew have some issues with computers. He wants to use it all day long to hear some music and he jumps in to a very bad mood if you try to take him away. I thinks this is not normal and I tried to talk to my sister (his mom) and my mom (his grandma) but they dont hear me. Please tell me if this is negative so I can tell them and help him.

I am scheduled to return to work after almost 12 weeks maternity leave. I am contemplating staying home to raise my own baby rather than put him in a childcare situation. Here is the facts:

if I return to work...
after childcare, gasoline and payroll deductions I would take home approx. $300.00 every 2 weeks. Do you think it is worth it?

I have these two best friends, one is a girl and the other is a boy, they were dating for over 2 years, (Lets say there names are Ashley and Aaron) and now Ashelys pregnant and Aaron is FREAKING OUT!!!! This was the most quiet kid I have ever known, he never said anything, never really did anything, he is devilishly handsome...anyway, as nice as he was, he is absolutely refusing to help raise her child, he wont even talk to her. I confronted him about it and he is avoiding eye contact telling me to mind my own buisness, I heard his best friend telling him in class that he would drive him to California. I was so pissed I pushed him halfway down the stairs after school. I've tried everything possible to make him change his mind, and I've come to the fact that if he leaves, I'm gonna help Ashley raise her baby, from diapers to college, is this a good idea? Is it to much responsibilty for me? cuz she doesn't have anyone else, whats the right thing to do? were both 16 going on 17.

I haven't really had cravings throughout my pregnancy, or felt that insatiable appetite that some women say they have. But, I've gained the appropriate amount of weight so far, just in the last couple of weeks my appetite's not very strong??? And don't feel like eating a lot at once? Anyone else experience this?

Hi all,

When did you, or are you, planning to buy things for baby? I am 16wks pregnant with my first baby and have already started buying (and receiving as gifts from family) things such as nappies/clothes/blankets/baby monitors/bouncer etc - some people are telling me i am starting way to early because something "could happen" and i would have all of this stuff for nothing.

The reason i started buying at this stage was because i worried alot in the first few months that something "would happen" so in order to make a conscious effort to have a "positive" attitude i started preparing myself with baby items.

Is it too soon? Or is it good to be thinking this positively? Thoughts anyone?
