Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 November 2006

I was wondering if there is a website or a book that I can check daily to see what (approximatley of course) is happening with my baby?

I knew a girl who was pregnant in high school, everyday she came to class shed share with me wat was happening with her baby that day. I thought it would be something for me to look foward to instead of the once a week reading.

My sister said she had a book when she was pregnant (5 years ago) that told her what was happening each day, but cannot remember the name of it. She does remember that it had a spiral edge (if that helps at all). Does anyone know?

Ultrasound says he's measuring 1wk 6days bigger, they said he was 4pnds 6oz. but I definatly don't look like I could have something that size in me. Anyone have an ultrasound done around then? How accurate was it for you when you finally delivered?!

Every time I go in, a nurse takes my blood pressure, weighs me, listens to heart beat, and takes a urine sample. Then when the doctor comes in he says hi how're you doing, has me lay down, presses on my tummy (has never measured with a tape measure) and then says "you're doing great" then says he'll see me in another 2 weeks? How does he know when he's not taking measurements? He doesn't ask about symptoms or check for swelling, or anything else. Could this just be because I'm doing so good, or could he be missing something. I've also made him aware that I was a little worried about my size being too small for a baby that far along. But he says my measurements and ultrasoun (done at 31wks, he measured 1wk 6days bigger) were just fine and not to worry. But I certainly DON'T look like an 8 month pregnant woman. I look like 6 months. It is my 1st am I just worrying too much? Thanks!!!

I have been looking and cannot find any info on this. What I am wondering is can I use an Eddie Bauer convertable car seat on the plane? Also can I have one of the little umbrella strollers as a carry on? Any info would help. Thanks!

my best friend found out she is pregnant, and she is 19, going to college part time, and working 3 part time jobs, well, she told her parents about it yesterday... her mother asked her when she could get an abortion, and her father broke a guitar, but this is really the clencher, when she said that she was keeping the baby, they told her she should be ashamed to be pregnant, and that she shouldn't tell anyone, we live in a small town, where you just can't hide things like this for very long, are they wrong for telling her she should be ashamed?

I'm going to the Dr. on Friday, but wanted to see if any other pregnant woman experienced this shortness of breath while going up stairs or even having a spirited conversation.

Please don't report me. I am not trying to make money or anything... I just want to help out other new moms who are having the same trouble as me with formula and baby food stains.

I tried EVERYTHING to get stains out... the worst one was sweet potato. I tried WISK, Shout, Zout, Baby OxyClean, believe me I tried IT ALL.

Finally I found something that really works - my husband and I had a box of ALCONOX that we used to use to clean breeding equipment used w/ our horses. It is an industrial detergent that is completely free of dyes, perfumes and additives. It leaves glass squeaky clean and a lot of dairies use it to clean milk equipment. It can even improve the quality of glass when used over time.

Anyway, I figured why not? I'd been washing baby bottles in it prior to sterilizing them. I mixed up a batch - 1 tablespoon to a gallon of warm water. I soaked my baby's stained bibs and burp clothes in it for 30 minutes - the stains were all GONE!

Hope this helps someone! www.alconox.com

My daughter is 7 months now ... I knew that babies this age start teething. She has a little flu and also she feels frustrated now and then. I bought a teething gel at guardian to soothe her gums. Is it so that when they started teething... they will have flu and tempermental moods? Her appetite is okay..

My son has adhd and started taking Iron tablets once a day because I heard that iron defficiency is sometimes a reason for the cause of ADHD. My son tried a low dose and swears it helps him focus better in school.

My son is 22 months.. whenever we tried to discipline him when he is naughty, he will then bang his head against the sofa or hit his head with his hand. I knew that he is trying to get our attention. We tried many ways from stopping him.. like distracting him with something else.. not looking at him when he does that and many.. sometimes he also hit his head without any particular reason. I find it hard to discipline him as he really doesn't listen to me. What should I do???

We have been together 3 years. I am 29. He is 28. We both work full time. We spend about an hour together a night watching tv after the kids go down. But our sex life is pretty sparce. May be only twice a week. I would like it more but he seems perfectly happy. I want to hear if this sounds normal. Thanks

Did anyone see Oprah on Monday where she had a lady on there that unlocked the secret to baby language? It was incredible to watch this woman calm down 10 crying babies in a matter of minutes because she understood what they were saying. What do you think?

Ever since my boyfriend found out I was pregnant, he wanted me to terminate, but he accepted, that I wasn't. About three days ago, we got into an argument, like always do , about dumb stuff, and he told me to go back to my mom's house, so I did. I haven't heard from him, he hasn't called me, not even to see how I'm doing, not even his mom, who I have support from , has called me. I think were really through this time? I need advice to stay strong.

What can I do? I am afraid her teeth are going to rot! Her teeth don't look bad now but they can get bad if she keeps being like this. And when I do try, she bites me!

i have been mostly breastfeeding my 2 week old baby, now i am getting back to my normal routine and responsibilities and could use the extra time to get stuff done or nap if someone else could feed her. problem is when i pump out my milk, there is only like 2 ounces coming out and when we feed it from the bottle, it only takes her like 5 or 10 minutes to finish it off, compared to the 30 or more that it takes me to breastfeed her. does this mean she isn't getting enough when i pump, or is it just easier to get out of the bottle? how do u find out how much she is getting while i feed her so i know how much of what i pump to measure into her bottle?

I am 16 weeks pregnant and have felt the baby moving for about a week now. The doctor said that this was normal given that I am very thin. Just recently I have felt sharp pains close to my belly button. Nothing extremely painful but a little and bothersome. I do not know if this is the baby kicking or if this is something else. Help!
