Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 December 2006

because the baby was on her belly,such as the spine,etc. He did mention that the babies nuchal fold measured 6mm when it should hae been more like 4-5mm.This is a measurement on the back of the neck they do to predict the chances of down syndrome. I'm very worried. He said they will do another ultrasound in about 6 weeks.All other test have come out normal. I just hate this waiting, has any one else ever dealt with this.

The spotting started on Mon, Nov 27 so I went to the ER room. They did 2 vaginal u/s and found nothing. They told me it was either because it was too early or that I had a m/c. However, I've had no pain whatsoever and it's been very light spotting. The next day I went to my OB and she did another u/s and said that I was in the process of a m/c and that I would start bleeding heavily. This has yet to happen. The next day I had my first bout with morning sickness so I called another OB and he saw me. He did an u/s and saw the baby along with a heartbeat. I went to the first OB today and she said again she couldn't see the baby and that the sac had grown but was not in the round shape it was supposed to be. She also said that I was hemorrhaging and that she still felt like I was miscarrying. My next appointment is next week to see how things are and to see if she will do a D&C. I'm against this right now. I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this and what i should do?

I have had to pick him up from preschool at least twice a week for hitting and kicking. His preschool is fed up, bout to kick him out. He doesnt do this at home as much as at school. I have tried stricter rules, and disiplinary actions. Nothing seems to work. I have spanked his bottom, took all his toys away, grounded to his room, no tv, sent to bed eairly. He doesnt seem to even understand what he is doing wrong, or what he is in trouble for. Is it something I am not doing right, or wrong? I have been so stressed out over this, cause everything I do seems like one step forward and two steps back.

I know this 22 year old and she said she always wanted to be a mom, so she went to the sperm bank and recieved two artificial inseminations. She doesn't have a partner in her life.

I didn't go into it with her, but why at 22 would someone do this? She has plenty of time to find a partner to be a father (or even a mother, if she is gay) to her child. Maybe she wants to be a single mother, but is that fair to her future child. The only thing I could come up with is that she has problems with men, or she is a lesbian. (I know I sound like a jerk!)

I felt kind of sad for her because she is going into motherhood alone.

Why would a 22 year old get artificial inseminated?

I just recently got pregnant about 2.5 months and my interest in sex has been very low. I guess it dosen't help to be sick most days. But my husband is very offended by this he thinks I am not interested in him. With our first child I was way more interested but with this one I have no drive at all. Any suggestions???
Is this a normal occurence???

Obviously, you should never use a TV as a "babysitter" for your young child. But what if the TV is on a couple hours throughout the day, and your baby watches a little bit of it (like a half an hour or so). Can that cause ADD problems when they are older?

The questions is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,What do you do if you think your teen is gay? And you think morally and religiously it's wrong. And you have raised them it's wrong. Especially when their too young to know what love is any ways. How would you deal with your child?
