this bubbley, gugling noise (much like a stomach growling sound) coming from my stomach. I just passed it off as my stomach growling, but it even happens after i eat- and it feels a little bit different too. Could this be the baby or something else making this noise? has anyone else felt or heard the same thing?

I'm thinking Meadow Skye or Meadow Breeze, but I'm so indecisive! Can anyone think of anything else? Thanks!

I don't know what to do, I really don't want to let them do it.. but everyone says it's for the better and that he needs it done. A couple years ago I was with someone who hadn't been circumcised, and it wasn't weird or anything.. so what's the big deal? I just don't want my child to be in pain the first hours he's welcomed into the world.. and I definetly don't want him to have it later than that either. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Advice about our 14 year old daughter please.

She has a habit of breaking curfews and not calling when she is running late. Last weekend, she came home over an hour late, no call. I told her she was grounded for a month, no phone, internet or TV. She cried and begged us for anything else saying how one of friends gets never gets grounded but still gets spanked, hinting that was more fair. We told her she is too old for that, but then she started mouthing off so her mom spanked her! It was nothing major, probably a little more than a dozen smacks with a wooden spoon over her jeans in privacy. She thought she was off the hook, but I told she is still grounded two weeks. This past week took the cake! she writes us a long letter saying how embarrassed she was by the spanking, asking us to promise to never ever do that to her again and then saying we lied to her by giving her both punishments. All I want her to do is just respect her curfew and be safe!.. .without the drama

im 34 weeks pregnant with my first son. I had a doc appointment friday, nd my doctor told me i was not effaced or dilated at all. She said that her guess was id carry to term but if for some reason i went into labor that night she wouldnt stop it because i was at 34 weeks and the baby was a healthy size. Sure enough around 2 sat morning i was admitted with strong contractions every 1 1/2 mins. Within an hour of being at the hospital i dilated 1 cen. and was 80% effaced. the doctor on call tried 2 diffferent meds to stop the contractions but nothing worked. evenutally then comepletly stoped on there own, but the doc that was on call sed she exspected me to be back within a 2 weeks. Im just wondering if anyone else had a similar exsperiance? how long after your preterm labor was stoped, did u actually deliver?

He has periods of being a bit better but at present soils his pants up to 3 times a day unless we literally force him onto the toilet. He says he is not scared of the toilet. We attend an enurisis clinic and have tried star charts, sweets & money as bribes, punishing by no tv, toy bribes etc. He sits on the toilet with a book, legs on a stool etc. He is not constipated, we have been down the whole laxative route as well. It's possible it's just a power struggle but I want it to end!! He also wears a pull-up in bed and is soaking in the morning. We have tried desmo-melts to no effect. Dr says must fix soiling before getting a bed wetting alarm. I see no light at the end of the tunnel. Any advice? I know I shouldn't punish/shout - we try not to but it is difficult not to get annoyed when he's screamed that he doesn't need it and then half hour later has dirty pants!

My son can't seem to decide if he is left-handed or right-handed. He uses both from time to time. At kindergarden the teacher says he's right-handed. But he writes certain letters in the left-handed way. And, his writing and drawing skill is behind his peers. Surely there must be ways of finding out. Help!

My daughter is 8yrs now but since she's been little everytime she gets wound up or over excited she's vomits and it can last for up to 7 days. We've had her at the hospital but they said she will grow out of it. Any ideas.

Is there anyway to get rid of the zyote besides going to a abortion center? I heard of people pulling them out, of beating their stomach but is there actually any sane ways to do it?

Hello, just writing to get some opinions from other people on my situation. This is not something me and my fiance want right now.

I am on birth control but also meds that may lessen the effectivness of the pill. Me and my fiance also use to pull out method 95% of the time. I missed my period about 3 and a half weeks ago and have taken 5 First Response pregnancy tests since then, one this morning. All have been negative. I also have been having no pregnancy symptoms.

What do you think?

I sponsored my husband’s 14 yo son from a 1st marriage to come to the USA from an impoverished African country due to both his parent’s request that I do so "to give him a much better life”. 1st week here stepson was hateful and contemptuous towards me, openly mocked me in his language and English and told me “Most Americans are stupid and greedy people.” SS's father either accused me of lying or just did nothing! He refuses to give letters to us from his teachers and vice versa saying it’s “not your business what I do in school”. Last night I asked him to go to his room b/c he was mocking me repeatedly. He said, “You want to make me?!” I grab him, he pushed me, I put him out. His father, yelled at him for a minute, telling me later that we will "probably need to divorce" due to this. No one has the $$ to leave for 3 mo. Today SS is same. Glaring at me contemptuously, talking over me when I speak, etc. can I have him removed by a child-protection agency...? Law Enfocement? It's my apt.

My daughter is almost 4 months old. She was born with a nice thick, full head of black, extra-curly hair, but for the past month or so, her hair has gradually been falling out in the back & on the sides--so that now it kinda looks like a patchy high-top fade or mohawk, lol. She doesn't lay on any one side more than usual, and I try to keep her hair from rubbing out too much by laying her under a piece of satin fabric.

Anywhoo, to the other moms--is this a common thing you've experienced w/ your babies? How long did it take for your baby's hair to grow back, and was it a different texture/thickness? Thanks!

Every year my mom asks me what I want for the holidays, and I make her a wishlist. This year I made one, and got pictures and made a link to it with my size, etc..., and put a little note telling her to only get a few of the items(aka like half), and then I added the cost up, and it's *gulp* almost $400, (I only asked for clothes and books).Now I feel like a horrible, selfish little brat-child, and don't want to give it to her. what should I do?

My son turned 2 in September. We got him a potty chair on his birthday and he sits on it with his clothes on. This was suggested by the manufacturer as a way to get them used to sitting on the chair. He doesn't tell me when he has to pee or poop yet and maybe I'm jumping the gun to want to start now. Just wondering if the parents want to share their potty training experiences, stories and suggestions.

To open your mouth to say something to your child who is miss behaving and have your mom or dad's voice and words come out?
My son was playing with his oatmeal this morning when I opened my mouth to tell him to stop I swear I sounded just like my mom.
