Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 October 2006

im also asking for a husbands/partners point of view as my husband psychologically is not willing to risk what we went through with the miscarriage again,im told that physically the body can be ready after having the first period post-miscarriage
that is when i would like to try,my husband isstill traumatised by watching me physically suffer though-should i just wait and see if he comes round?

I just finished my first trimester and now am at the beginning of my 13th week. I have been lucky to steer away from morning sickness, however, lately I have been getting these terrible headaches. In the past week I have taken tylenol 3 days out of the 7. I am wondering if this is too much tylenol? Nothing else seems to work though. Is it okay to take Tylenol so often or am I hurting the baby?

She falls asleep on my lap at about 9ish and i take her to bed. She has started to wake up crying for me at least 2 or 3 times a night. It's beginning to annoy me as i'm 33 weeks pregnant and getting really tired.She won't have her dad see to her. Sometimes all i have to do is tuck her in again and she's fine, other times she just won't stay in her cot, she gets up as soon as i put her down to lie. Sometimes i'm up for 2 hours with her, always between the hours of 3am and 5am. I've tried cutting down her nap time at lunchtime, and giving her extra milk before bed. I'm running out of ideas what i should do next. She always used to go to bed from 9 until 8 for me, but all of a sudden this waking up in the night has started. Any tips or ideas would be really appreciated as with another baby on the way i want to sort this out asap.

Hi! Am pretty regular with periods. Every 24-28 days. Last month, September was pretty normal. This month however, I wasn't expecting it until the later part of this week but instead started to spot on Sunday. So Sunday and Monday there have just been a few spots. No period, not much cramping. What is going on? I am not on the pill and haven't been in several months. While not trying for a baby, it certainly would be welcomed. In a good relationship. Any thoughts?

I am pregnant with twins. We are naming them Hannah Grace and Timothy Jon Jr. I call my significant other Tim but a lot of his friends call him Timmy. We are having a hard time deciding what to call our son so that he is differenciated from his father.

My son, Whom is 18 months old, WIll NOT stop spitting!!!! It is driving both his father and I absolutely NUTS! Anytime we give him something to drink, He takes a BIG drink and spits it back out at us!! He makes a mess of himself and everything around him. What can I do to stop this NASTY behaviour?!?!?

We take the sippy away from him when he does it, But it doesn't phase him, He just goes on about his business, And it's not like we can just quit giving him drinks all together?! We also firmly tell him no, and explain why we're taking the sippy, And as a very last resort, we have lightly tapped his mouth, telling him 'NO!!! spitting is NASTY'...to no avail.

Any suggestions as to what we can do????

If you don't get your period while on the "sugar pills" in the birth control pack (the pills where you're supposed to be getting your period), should you start another pack or keep waiting for your period?

After a year in a relationship I became pregnant and decided to keep the baby. I found out during my 7th month that the father was cheating, he is a womanizer, a manipulator, a big fat liar, a dead beat dad, a user, a control freak and mentally unstable. Most of this information I recieved from his mother, his sister and the mother of his 2 older children.
Since my son's birth the father has turned his family against me by telling them that I have talked negative about them, all because he has not been financially supportive and I told him that I would take him to court. The woman that he was cheating with took him in after I put him out and it turns out she is a lunatic. In the past 9 mnths that they have been together, she has run him down with a car, slept with his friends and the two of them have plotted, in front of his other children, how they were going to take my son and raise him as their own.
Now, he wants me to allow my son to be apart of his life.

The terrible twos, really it starts much earlier than that like as soon as they can crawl ... The best method of handling them is everytime they act up like are being difficult why not run over and give them a T spoon of choclate ice cream??? It works they are so much better and it trains them too... I have tried this with my daughter Mara everytime she squeaks I run over with a T spoon of ice cream... Try it but give it like at least a week and you will see the results for yourself....

my sister in law told everyone she is pregnant! she is only 2 days late from getting her period. and has told everyone when she hasn't even confirmed it by the doctor. i on the other hand am 6 weeks pregnant and havent told anyone apart from my husband. we were waiting to i was at least 8 - 12 weeks before we told anyone. now i feel like an idiot. should i have said something straight away when she announced it to me that she was pregnant? how is going to look now when i tell people! what do i do? do i tell people ASAP or just wait a bit longer. i am further along than her. the way she told me she was pregnant was by saying to me; so are you pregnant yet? i said no, and then she goes i am! everytime she would see me she ask me if i was pregnant yet and i tell her that i wasn't trying. cause i knew that if i told her we were trying that she would. i do however recall telling her last year that i would like to have another late this year. what should i do now?

I went for my level 2 ultrasound when I was 20 weeks and my sons kidneys were dilated a little so they sent me to a specialist to look at them and they were still dilated at 25 weeks to 4.5 mm. He said 4mm or under is normal range but didn't tell me what was high range. The doctor was not too informing but said not always but this sometimes is a sign of down syndrome. They didn't mention that anything else looked different about him but I also didn't ask because I was so shocked to hear this news for the first time. He wants to see me back when I am 33 weeks to check them again but I am so worried now! Has anyone else ever experienced this? I know I love him no matter what but this is something I know nothing about and would not be prepared for!
