im suppose to be 11wks pregnant. i went to the dr 2day to hear the heartbeat, but they couldnt find it. they ran an ultrasound but couldnt hear it, and i didnt have a full bladder, so they did a transvaginal ultrasound. They couldnt see or hear the heartbeat and said that the baby is dead. that it stopped growing at 8wks. my last period was around august 28th, and both of my parents say that should put me around 8wks (my parents have 5kids, so they know their stuff). Mom says at 8wks you cant even hear a heartbeat, so i may just be earlier than expected. i mite b 8wks instead of 11. thats what the doctor first thought when she couldnt hear the heartbeat. thats y they did the sonogram in the first place. im 18. my moms calling a different dr 2maro so i can get a 2nd opinion. the dr i have rite now said to wait a wk, but if i dont miscarry on my own that i need to have a surgery or take these pills that will make me miscarry. Do u think theres a chance the baby is just not 11wks along?

i want to change peditricians as now my peditrician is suggesting my son at 9 months old go to speech therapy and when i told her today, he eats 3-8 ounce bottles a day and 2 jars of jar food, she told me i need to give him more. i told her if i give him more, he throws up. i am his mother i know what is best!!! she did the same thing with my daughter when she was an infant and she is now 8 yrs old. she's not very friendly and does not say hi to my daughter or play with the baby. how can i change peditricians and find a good one? do i have to go to the old doctor and get the recors for the new doctor or does the new doctor do that?

My 18 month old son is going to give me a heart attack one day, if I feed him and give him the plate or bowl he will shove handfuls in his mouth, I watch him, like tonight he started off good, and then started taking handfuls of food but then dropping them back on his plate, figuring he was playing, until about the fourth time he tricked me and instead of dropping it shoved it all in his mouth. I try taking the stuff away and then he cries with a mouth full of food. I've tried only giving him one item at a time, but then he screams for the whole plate, I've tried hiding the plate-he's not fooled. I taught him "bite", which does no good, because then he just bites until it's all in his mouth. I taught him "one" and he puts one after another in his mouth. I've tried everything, and I just can't seem to get him to eat right, he wants to shove everything in his mouth, and when it gets bad is when he screams, because he usually has something in his mouth at that time. Any ideas? Thanks

I don't have any children and have a very close friend who has a baby boy about to turn 1! I want to buy a SUPER present that isn't a plastic toy that he won't look at in 2 hours. I won't say money is no object but not the first consideration. Any ideas for me?

My husband and I are still very affectionate with eachother after 15 yr of marriage. My teenager of course thinks its "uhhhh".
AS a kind of right of passage he has recently had his bedtime extended to 9.15. We all get up early so my husband and I usually turn in at around 10.30.
My son won't allow us even sit together on the suite while he is in the room. Originally we cooled off I mean all we do his have a little kiss and a hug occasionally and we cosy up beside eachother,nothing major.
My husband didn't like him calling the shots so told him he could go to his room if he likes as he is not allowed watch t.v in another room at that time of night.
He would go to his room and thencome back down,making things very awkward. We have now puched his bedtime back to eight thirty and he goes to bed at the same time as his12yr old sister.
He is naturally upset about this so do you have any other suggestions?Please help restore my relationship with my little guy.

After getting stitched up three days ago, I FINALLY pooped (I was so scared to!) What's the best way to wipe? I know that sounds gross... I kind of just dabbed at it with a wet paper towel. Help!

I just wanted to send some baby dust to all those having trouble conceiving. I never knew until I started trying(14 months ago) how emotionally difficult and heartbreaking it is. I wish everyone the best and I will cross my fingers for all of you. As you've noticed I'm not trying to ask a question , just trying to send some good luck out there to all of you.

All I ask is that you "sign" below with how long you've been trying and I'll send some baby dust your way!!!

Best of luck to everyone TTC!

I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra and was wondering what kind of Convertible car seat will fit in my car. I really want to get a Fisher Price Car Seat (which is made by Britax), but if I can't get that one is there a cheaper one that I can get to fit my car.

I don't understand. why do people ignore the potential of food allergies having to do with a child's behavior when it is prooven to have a HUGE impact on their behavior. my nephew has food allergies and I can see what a difference the treatment of simple drops can make in his life. he goes from a terror to a sweet, loving child.

is there some sort of huge issue of debate surrounding food allergies that i am unaware of? if so, please fill me in.
