I had my 2nd daughter, in 15 months, by c-section 6 weeks and two days ago. I still have my lochia (spotting after birth), though it is really light. And occasionally every couple of days it is bright red. Did anyone else have this after this long?

Your 8 yr. old is on a basketball team. There's another child on his team that is the epitemy of a ball-hog. He'll dribble forever as long as he doesn't have to pass the ball. When one of his team mates is throwing the ball in, he gets an extremely disappointed look on his face. When he shoots and misss he has the same look on his face. Because he is such a ball-hog, the other kids on the team have become ball-hogs over time as well because they know if they give it to him--they'll never get it back!

I don't believe it's this boy's fault though. It's his parents'. They are at the school every day eating lunch with him. They almost are at the school more than the teachers are! I believe they are causing him to be this way because of the way they treat him.

How do you deal with parents like this?

About 9wks ago I went to a party at a friends house. It was only my 3rd time getting drunk, so I got there REALLY fast, and it hit me HARD. I ended up blacking out, and the next day I find out that someone who was supposidly my friend had taken advantage of me. I consider it as this, bc i have no recolection of what happened. The others that were there just told me that he helpd me up bc i was on the floor and was gonna lay me down but he didnt come back to the party for awhile. then he told me that we were both drunk and that it was an accident. i ended up missing my next period and I dont ***** unless im in a relationship and i wasnt, so i knew it was his. He told me if i didnt kill it wed stop b n friends. I told him abortions wrong woo woo woo. and i didnt care if we stopd b n friends bc friends dont do what he did to me. So now we dont talk. Its gonna cost money to take him to court for child support rite? i need advice. ANY KIND. words of wisdom...whatever. im only 18 and im very

-Cries so bad when she is having a bowel movement
-Strains until her lil face turns actually purple(she is a light-skinned african american)and even after all that strainig she may not have anything in her diaper or she may just let out a lil gas
-Her bowel movements when i was breast feeding her they were really watery but since the switch they are thicker, green & stink!!
-Her face, ears, chin, and neck broke out wit a lot of lil red bumps i dunno what they are but my in-laws say its from ppl kissing her?!...i dunno...i feel like i cant help my baby she isnt comfortable and i cant help her i tried medicine for gas(when she'll swallow it) and she still does the same thing my sis-in-law says to add a drop of table syrup to her milk but i dont think i should would that help?!?!

When the doorbell rang. I answered the door and while I was bending down to get some candy for the children my towel slipped opened. A few of the girls giggled, but one went home and told her mom. Her mom called the police. Because she was a minor the cop turned the information over to someone else. The cop said he couldn't charge me tonight, but was sure he'd be seeing me again. How can it be illegal if I'm in my own house?

My son is addicted to candy. He smuggles it home from school, and steals from friends, teachers, and everyone he can at school. Is this an early sign of drug use? Should I lock him up in his room while I can? I don't give him candy so it is not like I can cut it off. I went to that web site where you learn ways to help your kids from smoking that gives you ways to start conversations, and used those with candy as the main idea. Nothing works though. I am hoping I can get some help. Thanks you.

I went to that Dr to get the morning after pill after my husband came back from overseas. I was on Depo up to a week before he came home. When I get there, she tells me she cant give it to me because Im pregnant.
There was no way, I told her this. She kept asking if there was something I wasnt telling her. (yes, it pissed me off) I dont cheat.
I go home with the dual pack ept I brought on the way home. I explained what happened to me. I didnt want my hubby to think I was cheating. I took the first one, and it said+. I waited a week and took the second one. It said +.
I just say O well, Im pregnant, but I dont know how. I go to my first prenatal appt. 3 weeks after the first test, and they tell me the test said -. So I just knew it was wrong, so they took blood. Behold, I wasnt pregnant. Anyone been through this? What does this mean. The Dr say its weird, but they have no explanation.

Regardless whether it was problems with school, or health problems or whatever problems..
I've felt this more than once.
Even though the blame is much more sublte these days.. some of the questions they ask are so....something..
my daughter had problems in school and every single time, they would ask me what age she was toilet trained! Assumming of course that if I had toilet trained her too early, then I was the root of all her problems...

I'm in my 12th week of my 3rd pregnancy and I think I may already be having Braxton Hick's contractions. I know that this sounds strange, but I don't know what else it could be. They have been pretty often today and I'm starting to get concerned. Anyone hear of this before? what could it mean?

I have been breastfeeding my son for 6 1/2 months. Recently I have been thinking about switching to formula because my son is irritable most of the time, and I am not sure he is getting full. He is wanting to eat about every 2-2 1/2 hours which he should be past this stage. I feel like if I stop nursing now, I will be a failure one because most people do it for at least 9-10 months, and 2 my mom keeps encouraging me to continue. I am starting to work next week 3 days a week, and can't decide what to do. Will my child resent me for stopping to nurse? Please help!!!

i had an abusive ex bf....emotionally, physically, sexually, every way of abuse...he did it. he raped me more times than i can count, everytime i tried to get out of the relationship he would beat me. i was basically stuck till he was done. he got me pregnant, and i told him, if he would let me keep it, i wouldnt make him have anythin to do with it. he wouldnt except that, he didnt want to get in trouble for what hed been doin to me. so he paid his cousin to give me a black market abortion in May. I fought both of them, he choked me untill i passed out. then the next week, he broke up with me. My parents dont know about it at all. my sister does. my question is how can i get over this? it really hurts and i need help
