Or even going there to play during the day without you.
What ages do you think are ok for a sleepover at their friends house?
But what I really want to know is; how much do you want to know about the people before you let you kids go home with them? And do you then relax? Or do you still worry something may happen to your child? Or am I paranoid?????????

I have a two month old, who has recently not wanted to nurse. SO instead, I give him a bottle of pumped milk and he takes that just fine.
At his bottle before bed, we give him formula to help him sleep better. I just pump to make up for the missed feeding.
What I am wondering is, if he starts to sleep thru the night, will my milk dry up? Or will my body just stop making so much milk at night, but be ok during the day, so I can continue to pump and make him bottles?
Thanks!! :)

My 5 year old daughter cries almost every day when I leave her at school. She says she misses me. It's very hard for me to leave her knowing that she is so upset. I recently learned that on occassion she cries during her day at school. She is doing very well in class but I wish she was happier. Should I worry or is this common amoung young children? Thanks.

I had my c-section 3 years ago. After many infections on the external (tummy) scar and alot of trouble with irregular heavy periods I had an internal ultrasound which found that the scar on my uterus is open (called dehisence). Gyno cant tell from the u/s if it wasnt sealed properly, if it has burst or if an infection has caused the wound to not heal properly. He has referred me on to an obstetrics surgeon and has said I will probably need the c-section to be re-opened, cleaned out then re-stitched up. He is unsure at this stage if the uterus can be saved or not.
Anyone else had this problem or something similar??

My boyfriend and I are still together. He is attending college, in Pre-med. He has a job at a clinic making 12.00 and hour and right before she is born he is getting a 1.50 raise. He wants this baby for sure, and says he will take it if I don't want to keep her. But I'm scared he wont let me see her. I'm 30 weeks pregnant at 15 years old. I am now at a school where I can graduate early and I am going to graduate in fall of 08' and year and half early. My dad got me scared that I'm going to regret keeping her because I'm going to look back on High school and regret everything.. But I do want her, that is what my heart wants. I guess I'm scared I will be like my real mom.. Crappy.. I do love her but she was more of a best friend than a mom.. I'm scared I wont give her everything she wants.. If i do give her up it will be to sombody I know.. And can see her whenever.. But I'm mixed up.. I love her so much..
Agian.. My heart tells me to keep.. My mind tells me no.. Help?

I have been in this field for a little over 8 years now. I have been having a little bit of bleeding with this pregnancy, I am 10 weeks along. My doctor examined me and said my cervix looks closed and feels firm, but he has scheduled an ultrasound for me to check the length of the cervix and also make sure baby is doing fine. My question pertains more to work, I have to do alot of lifting and transferring of clients, as they have cerebral palsy. One is much easier to help then the other and I have the go ahead to work with him as much as needed, but I do not want to make other employees feel as though I am shirking duty, however I also do not feel like informing every employee of what exactly is going on in my uterus. Any suggestions on how to handle that, or have you been in the same sort of situation? What did you do to sort of make up for the harder work that you were unable to do?

I'm totally against abortion, and this question doesn't refer to me... Just FYI.

I am curious, though, about how a mother could handle going through a pregnancy to deliver a baby who may die within the first year, or be born a parapelegic, or some of the other more severe birth defects out there.

I know that my question sounds terrible, but I've had friends who have terminated pregnancies late for this same reason... I'm pregnant right now, and I don't think that I could do that.

I've had late periods before, but this is ... not late. It's about a week early!

Not much blood. Maybe a spoonful. And mostly dark dark brown, save for some pink. The cramps appeared on one side for a little, and then... nothing. No usual PMS symptoms or anything.

Hoping this could be the implantation bleeding I've heard and read so much about in my two years of TTC! *cross fingers*

I am pregnant at 19 with my b/f's kid. We have been together for four years. He agreed to stay by me. I am really scared and worried. He's calm and reassuring. Is he not worried?? Why?? Is it wrong to be worried?? WHY ISN'T HE WORRIED????????
Why doesn't he just say he's worried?? He knows what I'm going thru. He's there each morning with me. Why can't he just say how he feels?? Our friend died in child birth. Is he trying to be strong for me??
We are engaged. It happened b4 the baby.
Is he truly scared or just indifferent??
We are both very rich-both have rich families supporting us thru this. We have a house. He was the one who wanted to keep the baby. I was unsure and he said to keep it.
Will he accept the child or feel like I ruined his life??
