I would like to know is it ok or healthy to boil water then store it in a water bottle and use that water, to make formula milk, the water lasts me 1 day, then i make fresh water again and store it ,is this ok, or is it dangerous for my 3 month old baby, or do i have to just boil the water that same minute i make formula ????? cuz i just save time by just heating up the boiled water in the microwave and add the formula. is this ok to do this? ive been doing this since i started to feed him at 2 1/2 months of age and he's been gaining weight and is very healthy (thank god). should i continue?

How long do you usually have to be pregnant before the first symptoms starts to show. Like for instance morning sickness ect...

This is not really an "advice" question, more of a survey I guess. I'm 20 years old and very excited to be reaching the period in my life when I can begin to make my family. My boyfriend is older than me (34) but we are very much in love and very happy together. What I am interested in knowing is when other people had their first children and what their situation was, plus how they feel about it now.
1) How old were you and your partner when you first conceived? Married, dating, one time thing?
2) What was your financial situation at the time? Were you confident that you could provide adequate support?
3) Was it planned or unplanned?
4) In general, how do you feel about it? Do you regret not waiting longer, or was it everything you wanted and more?

I'm not looking for judgements or advice for myself, I just want to begin to formulate my own plan for raising a family. Thanks to anyone who responds!!!

My daughter is 10 years old... she came home from work the other day and told me that her boss was touching her inappropriately... she says that he grabs at her chest and her bum, and she has to tell him to stop every day.

how can i explain to her that she shouldnt be lying about things like this? she could lose her job over it.

The reason I think I may be having implantatiom cramps is because I normally have light cramps only 1 or 2 days before my mense.
During my expected ovulation period my husband and I had unprotected sex 5 of the 7 days including on the the day of my expected ovulation. Also if I am ovulating now instead of then chances are I could still get pregnant because we made love this morning.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

My daughter will be 2 on the 7th of Dec. She has been interested in the potty for about 3 or 4 months now. She likes to sit on it, but doesn't try to do anything. We've talked about what the potty is for and I think she is starting to understand, but she still seems to think it is just a game. Considering her interest, I know she will be trained soon, but what are some tips I could follow to get her to move on to the next step? She is stubborn, so I cannot just put her on the potty if she doesn't want to. Besides, I don't want her to feel like it is a punishment or anything.

Me and my partner have just had sexual intercourse, she is late for her period and is very due for it now. Without protection, I ejaculated in her as she is due on, thinking that it wont affect anything. Do we have anything to worry about?

I was quite a few days late for my period while having numerous pregnancy symptoms. i started bleeding yesterday morning and only lasted for a few hours and then went to spotting and then just stopped and then a few hours later it started again but it is really really light no clotting which isnt normal for me the blood started out as a dark dark brownish blood and then went to a dark dark red and then the spotting was pinkish with some mucus in it, now the bleeding that started back up is still dark dark red and there is still some mucus in it it is not heavy i am now not having anymore cramps i am still having a bit of lower back pain, and still having the same pregnancy symptoms that i was having before all of this started. my period has always been regular maybe a day or two early but the flow is always the same very heavy the first 1-3 days and bright red blood with alot of clotting and tons of cramps, so i am not sure if this is a period, implantation bleeding, or a miscarriage

I like to get informations from anyone who experienced with copper IUD as birth control. I just decided to have one. I am 26 and I have 4 small children. I think now is the time for me to start going on birth control before getting pregnant again and I choose this method which I think is the most effective.

My question is:
-Do I really have to check the strings every month as required?

-What if I didn`t take it out after it is expired? Will that harm my body or will I get pregnant?

- Does inserting or taking out the IUD really hurt ?

pls help.

I was just wondering because to be an OB/GYN (especially an OB) it seems like such a 'pro-life' sort of field and if abortion was part of the training, I wonder how they feel about themselves ethically or if they view it as just part of the job.

I've always wanted to ask my OB, but I never wanted to cross the boundary of being too personal with her.

We have a Cosco Car Seat and I just don't like it. It doesn't feel safe to me. Any other brands are welcome. I would also like a car seat the recline in the rear facing position if at all possible.
