My son has recently become a big brother so I would like his day to be extra special. I'm not sure what to do for is 4th birthday party...last year we did Chuck E Cheese, I was thinking about the Playstation (it's a big indoor playground) but EVERYONE does this around here so he's been to several of those parties. We are in Iowa and his birthday is in December so it's too cold to do an outside party...SO does anyone have any ideas how we can make this party extra fun for him and his friends? We are only inviting about 8 kids. HELP PLEASE!

OK, I've been reading and answering alot of questions on here. I've noticed that the pregnancy section is filled with alot of judgment and rudeness. why are you all judging people for getting their kids circumcised? for breast feeding, not breast feeding? for whatever? why do some of you think you know everything about children? just because you have a couple doesn't make you pediatricians!!! people are on here for advice, not to be ridiculed for their choices. it's like a MOMMY WAR. "I'm a better mother than you!!!!!!" it's kind of ridiculous. so i guess my question is, why so judgmental? you must realize that you guys don't know everything.

Im nearly 12 weeks pregnant, and apart from a few cramps very early in the pregnancy, Ive been fine up till now. However, i was just laying in the bath and had 3 or 4 strong cramps in my lower abdomen, not excruciating, but strong enough to make me say ouch! I have had no more and there is no blood or anything like that. I know its probably just the aches and pains of pregnancy, but has / did anyone else experience this ? im probably being a little parinoid, I know but thought Id ask.
thanks

I have never understood why some mothers are so worried about the color of their childrens poop. I know if it is black then they are getting too much iron, but other then that I really don't know.

I'm not pregnant, but my husband and I are trying. I was wondering the stories ya'll had about how you told your partner. Or if you can think of any creative ideas. I had a miscarriage in September and my hubby was heart broken. Now that we are trying again I want to make it as special as possible.

Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

My son is just three months old and for these past 3 months his father has not been around at all and has only given $40 bucks to help out with taking care of him. I am 17 and am a senior in High School. I make about $200 every two weeks. What should I do? It's getting too hard to do it all by myself.

I'll be 16 weeks pregnant on Thursday the 9th and I’ve heard from so many expectamt moms and new mommies that you can tell the sex of the baby as early as 15 weeks. Why is that my doctor won’t do an US on me until im at 20 weeks? Is there any way to get her to do so?

My son is almost a year old and has terrible allergies. He's constantly rubbing his nose on things and he won't let me use the nasal aspirator on him. I'm not sure what's causing his allergies. We don't have any pets and I live in Reno so there's not exactly a whole lot of vegetation here. If anyone has any home remedies or any ideas about this it would be greatly appreciated!

Some of my guests have told me that the mother is NEVER supposed to throw their own shower. Because of the variety of friends and family coming and their locations, the only other person "capable" of throwing the shower would be my husband. (and even then, I would be doing it anyway) Also, no one stepped forward to volenteer. I wanted this to be special because it's our first, but now it seems i've stepped over the invisible guidelines. What should I do?

We just had our first, a very healthy baby boy (a bit small, but healthy none-the-less). Anyway, he's only 4 days old now, momma is making milk, but he seems to have zero interest in latching on. Every now and again, he'll latch on right away, I think it's happened twice. But for the most part, it's a major struggle that goes on for about an hour at a time until we decide to end it and just pump it out. As soon as the bottle hits his mouth, he's off to the races.

The questions are: How normal is this? Are there babies that just won't take to the breast? and What are some things we could do to expedite the learning curve to latching on to the breast?

We are not going to give up breast milk, but it would be much more convenient to eliminate the middle steps. Any advice and real world anecdotes would be greatly appreciated. I'm not interested in breast vs formula debates, if that's what you want, there are plenty of other questions for you to piss on.

--Thanks.

I am currently 9 weeks and 4 days. I will be having my first trimester screening in a week and a half. I am very nervous about this for some reason. Do they always come back and say your child has a chance of downs? Is an ultrasound performed?

My Daughter doctor says my baby maybe to strong for her age because she likes to stand up instead of sitting. She will sit but she can already push up to stand. She not standing on her own but she's very stable. She said her"Tone" is very high for her age so she would like to do an ultrasound of her brain to make sure her muscles are developing on track. I'm not to sure about that I didn't want to expose her to to much because she is only three months but I must get this done before 6months because then her soft spot will then harden. What do you think?

I have been very tired, more than usual, the past week. I have also been sick to my stomach, have had pains around my hip bones, I've been constpated, have had mood swings, and back pains. I had a period 3-4 weeks ago. Am I pregnant, or could it be my head messing with me. I have thought I was pregnant before.

My daughter has some of the Trix yogurt cups and really wants to take one in her lunch to school tomorrow. I am very picky about expiration dates, how long things have been in or out of the frig etc.... I pack her lunch ar 7:30am and she eats at 10:30am so it would be out of the frig for 3 hours. It doesn't sound like a good idea to me, but seems to be very important to her so I thought I would ask for advice from "the experts" lol. Everyone have a great day and thanks for taking the time to help me out!!!!!

This is a serious questions, please answer honestly. If I were to tell you I was on two different gov't assistant programs, unable to work, pregnant and the father of the baby was not in a position to support the child and I needed further got't support to raise the child, how would you answer: 1: give me information for gov't help 2= congratulation on being pregnant 3-ask me if I ever heard of birth control 4-tell the father to get two jobs, its his responsibility not the gov't 5-tell me if I can't afford the baby don't have one 6-tell me if I can't afford the baby to put it up for adoption Keep in mind I am disable, unable to work, the father for whatever reason doesn't, and the gov't assistance comes from the taxes of those who work. Thank you.
