Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 December 2006

My daughter is 1 month and 2 weeks old, I believe she is constipated, she looks as if she is straining, and she is real cranky. What can I get over the counter, or any home remedies? I heard of prune juice, could I give that to her?

I'm going back to work full time in a week. My 19 year old sister is moving in this weekend and will be our nanny for 6 months. I'm worried that my 12 week old daughter will think her auntie is her mommy. I don't want my baby to develop a stronger bond with her auntie than with me.

I recently miscarried (my baby was 6 weeks and 6 days) and had a D&C on November 27. Although it's only been a little over a week since my surgery, I feel like the healing process has been going well! I lightly spotted for 6 days and had no problems with cramping or pain. I even started working out at the gym again! I just took a First Response pregnancy test, just for kicks (I am NOT testing for another pregnancy), and it was clearly negative. I've read that some women will still get positive pregnancy test results for up to six weeks after a D&C. Does anyone know if this means that my hormones are getting close to being back to normal?

How common are evaporation lines in E.P.T. pregnancy tests? Would they be the same color as the control line or would they be greyish?

My daughter is 7mos. along, I have gotten all the "needed" baby stuff for her, stroller, bassinet, swing, bouncer etc. Want to get just "her" something for xmas that isn't a maternity shirt. Since she can't fit into her size 3 pants at the moment, buying clothes isn't practical right now. Does anyone have any suggestions for gifts, I would really appreciate ideas....I have none......

And who gets to decide that (mom, dad, or both of you)?
Would you ever compromise on the amount of time you nurse, or is it something you feel strongly about?

something...half the time he ignores me.
If I say no, he will just do what he wants.
When we are in public, he acts up, by either crying,screaming,whining or kicking.
Since I cant beat his *** in public without someone thinking its child abuse...what do I do?
I dont want to have to leave the store either, time is not on my side.
Ideas???

Assuming the parents are exhaustively well-read on the subject. They seem oddly basic.

Are there any other sorts of classes I should look into? Or avoid? I mean of a particular type, of course, not "the one at the (Your Town) community centre" -- I just want an idea of what to search for...

First, I have PCOS (poly-cystic ovaries syndrome). Because of this, my hormones are usually very imbalanced and my periods are awkward. However its been 4, almost 5 months since my last period and I'm never this late, not even close.

I am experiencing most of the classical symptoms as well, food craving, frequent thirst and urination, sickness, major mood swings, massive weight gain (gained about 45 lbs in 4 months), etc

I took 1 home pregnancy test 2 weeks after my first missed period. It came out negative. I tried again about 3 weeks after that, same thing. I then decided to go to a clinic and did the other type of urine test there about a month after my 2nd failed home pregnancy test, however the result also came in negative.

I want to know if there is a chance all the tests were wrong and I am in fact pregnant because I'm experiencing several symptoms and although my hormone has been out of whacked, its never been this late and obviously I've never gained that much weight. HELP!

My last period was on October 17th. I was sexually active with the withdraw method from 4th-25th of Nov. I still haven't gotten my period and I'm usually on a regular, irregular schedule if that makes any sense (going around the normal 28 days, then the next month much longer, then repeating), but I don't think I've gone this long before. Today I had a tiny bit light brown spotting and a bit of cramping. I was expecting to start my period but it didn't happen. I've taken two pregnancy tests and both were negative. I've had some symptoms (feeling sick but not throwing up, faint, fatigue, bloating, constipation, stomach pains) but these could be from other issues. I have been under a little stress also, and just moved. So my question is, could this spotting be implantion bleeding and could I have conceived this late into my cycle? Could I have conceived earlier and it's just not (+) yet? Is 7 weeks normal to go w/o a period? Thanks so much, I'm just starting to worry a bit!

My sister is about to have twin boys (33 wks) and is stuggling to come up with perfect names.

Preferably, she wants both boy's names to begin with the same letter, T. (This is tradition in our family)

However, she wants the names to sound completely unique, either by using names from different backgrounds or time periods, or by simple using soft-hard vowels and syllables.

For middle names, she has several selected from the family history:

Samuel, Reginold, Duane, Qadan & Bade

I know there are ladies out there who love putting together baby names!! Please help us out!

Thanks in advance1
