Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 October 2006

My wife and I are trying to conceive. We've been tyring since July with no luck. When she feels it's time we have sex twice a day every day like crazy. Should we wait and build up or keep trying the sex marathons? What is the best way to conceive?

I am breastfeeding my 4 day old baby boy. My milk has come in great. I am not sure if I should be avoiding certain foods. Mothers can you help me? What foods, if any do I avoid when breastfeeding? Is some caffeine okay? I can't go a day without my diet coke.

My son is a week &1/2 old and he has trouble latching onto my breast. Sometimes I spend up to 20 mins trying to latch him on properly. We use the "football hold", I have tried the lap hold, that only works once in a while. Once he latches on he feeds just fine, but then he falls asleep, and I don't want to wake him to swich breasts because I spent so much time trying to get him on the first one. I do end up waking him and swiching him, but I feel like I am doing something wrong that he won't latch on nicely, it fustrates both of us and I don't want feeding time to be stressful. Will it ever get better/easier?

I know from personal experience! There is this old man he sexually abused his 4 daughters for many years, he claims to be a christian and he was physically abusive as well. well, as the story goes on his children had children and now he's a grandfather and one of his teenage grand daughter came to live with him and their grand mother. To make a long story short, he was having sex with his grand daughter and his mentally disabled daughter, he was heavily medicating them so they will be zombies and under his control, antway, the mother let her daughter go to stay with him, assuming he has changed, eventhough nothing legally was done to him in the past. His grand daughter took him to court and found him guilty and he spent 5 years in prison, anyway, he is out and have to register as a sex offender. He might have got help, but, his mentally ill daughter still lives with them and the grand mother's in denial. he has grand children now! I want to know if a sex offender can change. Ithinknot!

My son saw the commercials for the FisherPrice digital camera and MP3 player over the weekend. I would love to get him one of these for Christmas. Does your little one have one? What is your opinion? Are they worth the money?

I volunteered to take a friend's children trick-or-treating with me and suddenly have found myself taking SEVEN children all under the age of 4. I am going to Wal-mart today to buy glow necklaces and was thinking I might get a jump roap and make them all hold onto it so they don't get seperated.. Good Idea??? Any other suggestions??

because the links arent working for some reason... But I understand where he (and most of you) are coming from.. We dont tolerate any attitude or rudeness in our house because its just not right to talk to people that way.. Especially a child to an adult... The way these kids acts drives me insane too, but when I say something to my neice about her attitude, she tells my sister I was mean to her... And if my husband says anything to any of the other kids, they do basicly the same thing, and we look like these evil strict people because their parents wont discipline them. Like for example, my little brother (who is 7... my mom did that late in life thing) was kicking the couch with his heels, and my husband asked him to stop.. He asked him like 4 times, and my mom just stood there looking at him. Finally he got so upset he raised his voice and said "EXCUSE ME BUT I ASKED YOU TO STOP!!" My whole family looked at me like I was the devil and he and I wound up in an argument.....

My husband and I want to try for a baby but he is worried about our financial situation. He is a soldier in the Army so we don't make very much, but every type of doctor bill will be covered. I'm not working right now because we are moving to Japan in a month, but I am a CNA so my pay isn't that great either. I also buy almost everything off brand. I am just wondering if we didn't have a baby shower, (because we are going to be in another country) how much a set up would be before the baby is born.

Thanks

First question, I've been getting lower back aches right around my tail bone area. Its been uncofmortable lately, but Im only 5 weeks pregnant. Is this normal? No bleeding, nothing abnormal otherwise. Anything I can do to alleviate the pressure?
Second question, I have really bad gas sometimes. What foods should I try to avoid or limit that may cause gas?

I took a hpt last night and when i peed on the stick it took forever for the pee to absorb. i followed the instructions to a tee. now i took the same test out the same pack last week and had no issues. every hpt i have ever taken you can see the absorbpation take place quickly (i mean the little window starts to show results). The result was to be two vertical lines if postive. i got a vertical line and a very faint horizontal line.

I am going to retest with a different brand i just wanted to know has this happened to anyone else before?

I may be offered a job in another country. However this may means that I will have to leave my 1 year old behind.Part of me is willing to go and give it a shot since im still young (26) and it may boost my career.

I dont know if I should accept this offer should it come along?

If it were you, would you go?

my son is going to be 21 months old in a couple of days. and i was womdering about potty training him. the thing is i'm not sure if he is ready. see he doesn't do to much talking because he is so active he just doesn't stop moving and is always trying the figure stuff out. but here in the last month he follows me and my husband in the bathroom and watches what we do. he can flush the toliet and put toliet paper in there. but hasn't really wanted to us it. but in the past two weeks everytime he has a dirty diaper he taked it off and throws it in the trash. and has a fit when we try to put a new one on. but i never know when he is going pee because he doesn't give me any idea that he is. i find out after he runs to me bare butt. so my question is should we try to potty train him and what is a good way to start. thanks for all your help.

Last 2 periods have been short, light, and bright in color. Urine & blood tests have come back negative. Also, had a "clear" ultrasound. So, my question is if not pregnant, what? Have all the symptoms.... they are getting worse, not lessoning. Pains in the stomach/ovaries. Even got the belly. Medication for menstrual cramps (Ibuprofen, Tylonel 3, Mefenamic Acid) and even Zelnorm for IBS, not helping. Seems as though I'm getting no answers. Anyone experience the same thing?

I am 25 years old and I'm 3 days late for my cycle. Usually when I'm late it's only two days. I'm showing no signs of my normal menstruation symptoms (swollen breasts, acne... mood swings - none of the normal). I'm beginning to get worried.

Sometimes I have spotting when I ovulate... this month that was also late. My husband and I had protected sex just 3 days before I showed the signs of ovulating. I asked him when the spotting happened if he noticed anything wrong, his answer "No."

My husband and I don't believe it birth control drugs or implants. In fact it's the risks involved that he refuses to let me take the pill... so the only contraceptive we use are condoms. Which I also know can have it's, how should I say, accidents.

I'm just a bit panicked... I'm on day three of waiting for my period, and there's nothing...

Okay, back to the question. How long must I wait to take a pregnancy test? Usually when I'm late it's only by 2 days... it's now been 3.
