Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 November 2006

My baby (10 days old) gets really red around the diaper area (anywhere the diaper touches his skin). I change him every2-3 hours and i'm using aquaphor and destin. I just changed the brand of diapers today to see if that changes anything. Has anyone experienced the same thing?

The last time I had sex was in mid to late August. A day after that I got my period which was its regular time and there was nothing abnormal about it. I got my period again in September on a day late but otherwise regular. However I was supposed to get my period on the or around the 21st of October but I still haven't gotten it. Its been almost two weeks now, however I do not have any of the pregnancy symptoms like nausea, breast soreness cravings, weight gain, etc. Proir to this summer I used to regularly get my period on the 7th. However when i had sex for the first time in June it came on the 19th of July. After that it has been pretty regular until now. Could i be almost 3 months pregnant and not know it? Are there any other more subtle symptoms? I do not want to try the pregnancy test. I had a gyno exam about a month ago and he checked to see if I has any tenderness in my ovaries and he said everything was fine. If I am pregnant would he have noticed? Please help!!!

A couple months ago I went to the ob/gyn and she put me on BCP without giving me a pregnancy test first. We use condoms but that can't always be a guarentee. I started taking the pills and in a couple days I stopped because i had bad nausea (it was really low dose BCP) and vomiting. I ended up having 4 periods in the 2 months after I stopped taking them. Last month I sorta got back on track. In October my AF was really late and I have had bad cramping the last couple weeks. It rarely occurs and it seems to be if I wear low-rise jeans. They feel the same as when I had ovarian cysts (which I no longer have).
So here are my questions: I have had strange sinus drainage in one nostral for 2 weeks (the same amount of time I have been cramping). I have been really tired lately and could sleep all day if I was allowed. I do get nauseaus but that could be pseudo. I have read women in early pregnancy may get stuffed up but can it happen the other way? Its weird and hasn't happened before.Ideas?

I just want to know because my daughter is seven and loves those things. This morning before she woke up I threw 3 away. She hasn't noticed yet. I'm planning on doing the same thing tomorrow but before I do I wanted to ask ya'll. Thanks. And please don't give no stupid answers like " she's in second grade, leave her alone " or " she'll grow out of them, give her some time ". I don't want to hear that bullsh*t. She's addicted to them, and I'm not going to accept that. She plays with them in the middle of the night, as soon as she gets home from school, and in the bathroom. I'm loosing it with her! Even my 5 year old doesn't play with them.

I'm 6 mths pregnant, and my OB told me I should be drinking a liter and a half of water every hour. Doesn't that seem a bit excessive? I already have to pee too much as it is, I don't want to have to camp out in the bathroom. Were any other pregnant ladies told this?

We have two boys, Zachary and Benjamin (Zac and Ben) and are expecting a girl this time. You'd think that we would have no problem picking a girl name but my husband and I can't agree! We want a good strong name that goes with her brothers names and a last name ending in "a." DH likes older names and I like the more trendy popular names. Please help name our baby!

I know that it is possible to die during childbirth, but I never knew why or what causes this. I know that there is more than one reason. Please shed some light on this topic. I'm a mother of 2 but never had any complications.Send links if possible.

My son has been waking up during the night and my partner and I thought he was just attention seeking (he wanted to sleep with Mummy and Daddy). But I put him in with me in the night, he woke up screaming and even though I tried to comfort him all he wanted to do was pull away from me, and he did the same to his Dad. He really scares me when he does that, and I feel so sorry for him. My mum suggested that it might be night terrors, I'm just wondering if this is it, it's as if he's asleep and doesn't even realise that I am there, I am worried about him, I asked the doctor, but they had nothing to suggest how to cope with it, if anyone has any ideas please let me know, it would be much appreciated :)

When my siblings and I argued, my mom would intervene, only when things reached a certain point...otherwise, she let us settle our differences amongst ourselves. What about you? For those that don't interfere, how do you prevent yourself from forcing your children to get along? My brothers and I get along fine now, and we have a close relationship...but I know some siblings, whose fights with one another during childhood, carried on into adulthood. Which method works better?

my due date is nov 30th... i'm currently 36 weeks... my doctor said the the baby's head is down and that she has dropped.. i just wanted to know about how long after the baby has dropped does it takes to go into active labor? or does this really have much to do with it?? i've been having bh for about 3 weeks and most of them are pretty painful and then others just uncomfortable... but nothing i do seems to ease any of them.. they just go away on their own and they are still irregular... this is my second child and with my first, he never dropped down even in labor.. so i had a c-section with him... just wondering and thanks in advance

My daughter is in her first trimester and teaches where there has been recent outbreaks of chickenpox. She had chickenpox herself at the age of 4 and also has had all her immunizations. Should we be concerned for the health of her unborn child?

When my daughter was small she used to call weeping willow trees "spagetti" trees. My other daughter used to call her Flintstone vitamens "Yabby Dooby Onions". Let's hear yours.
