Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 October 2006

Thanks for all the answers to the pacificer question (I had tried a few of the ideas already with no luck). My problem is when he's had a full feeding and I know he wants to sleep he gets really angry at not getting to get more breast. I've tried letting him cry it out but he gets so worked up at crying and screaming it's hard not to just give in.

Are there any OTC vitamins that I can give my 6 month old?

I was just wondering if by this time my uterus should already have reached my ribs? Because it's still about 1 1/2 inces or so below my ribs. I do have a longer torso, but it seems like my uterus hasn't moved for 1-2 weeks. Is that possible or is it harder for me to tell compared to my doctor? Thanks, 1st pregnancy!!

Hello, I have been on the pill for 2 years. I had my last pill on 14/09/06 and my last period on the 18/09. I heard it is advisable to occasinaly have a break from your pill therefore i have.
I was due on over a week a go (9 days to be exact) and i have not yet come on.

I have been having unprotective intercourse with my partner though out the last month atleast 4 times a week therefore there was a possibility of pregnancy. I also had sore breasts and abdominal cramps (NOT PERIOD PAINS) I did 2 tests last tuesday which showed a negative result therefore I jumped straight back on my pill even though I've not yet come on.

PLEASE ADVISE As I'm querying weather or not I should of gone back on the pill.

I am 5 1/2 weeks along and went to the E.R. this weekend because of cramping. They ordered an ultrasound, and she didnt see any blood inside. I am hope that is a good thing, but do you think that it is possible to still have a miscarriage? I just had one right before I got pregnant this time around. As you can tell, I am terrified to have another one. Let me know what you think. Thank you!

He is 4 years old, and in preschool he is learning about calling the police. Now, whenever he sees a phone, he tries to call 911. I don't want to scare him into not calling, but this morning the cops knocked on my door, because he called while I was getting ready for work. How do I stop this, and still let him know the right time and the wrong time for the police?

i have tried for YEARS to treat everyone equally in our home. we to promote doing things as a family and supporting one another BUT, the 15 year old is driving me painfully insane. the 15 year old purposely hurts the 7 year olds feelings. it is VERY obvious that she is jealous... how do i make this stop... how do i make her understand how badly she is hurting her little sister's feelings? i've explained it 100 times (or so it feels) but it doesn't stop!

I have a 2 1/2 year old and when he was 2 we put him in daycare so I could go back to work. We really want another baby but I would have to put the new baby in daycare from the start because we can not afford for me to be a stay at home mom right now. The thought of putting my new baby in daycare breaks my heart. My husband does not think that is a good reason not to have a baby. So I'm just wondering is not wanting to put a new baby in daycare a good reason not to have a baby or should I have the baby and deal with the dare care issue? Thanks for the help and advice!

Ok, So Im trying to deal with my daughter and her 11th month old baby, which I love to death. Her boyfriend does not pay for anything and has every excuse under the sun as to why he does not have any money to buy diapers or formual or what ever, So I pay for things. My daughter has started working full time and is now paying for things for the baby. Which I am very proud of her. She has started studying to take her G.E.D. and has been excepted to a local tech school.

My problem now is. How do I stop her from giving him money, She pays for what ever the baby needs or what ever she needs and saves money but is still giving him money and it just drives me nutz. He works but she makes more then he does. She not helping him out with his bills cause he has none, just gas and smokes and stuff. Two. How do I get him to stop being at my house all the time. Hes not a bad guy I just dont like seeing him with his feet on my couch.

If have an unplanned pregnancy with a short term relationship, and the father was there the entire time emotoinally and made sure you had everything for not only you and your other child that wasn't his and wanted to be with you, would you treat him like crap to try to get him to leave you since you wasn't really into him like that, or would you keep him around to try and make it work, or even just because it was financially better for you and the kids, Please HONEST answers

I have a 4yr old who has a 'winky' (sometimes he says he has a big winky)! He does poopoos and wee wees but doesn't use anything for 'passing wind' to put it politely.
