Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 December 2006

My ex husband and I took a paternity test almost 2 years ago when we were going through a divorce. The results said he was not the father of my son. I know the test results are wrong. My son was born Janurary 6, 1999. Which meant that I got pregnant in April 1998. I was with My ex all through the month of April and May of that year. We split up and I was with someone else in the end of June that year. Which means if the other guy was the father my son would have been born in March? Has anyone ever heard of a paternity test being wrong before? What sould I do? My due date was Jan 15th. And my son weighed 7lbs 10 oz.

I have a 4-year-old going on 15! I love my son, but he's been driving me and my husband nutts the last few months. He memics me, talks back, delibrately does things he knows he's not supposed to do, and most importantly, doesn't listen most of the time. He refused to take time outs, and even though I'm not a fan of spanking, I have done it a few times, but that doesn't even help. Even taking away privileges, like watching TV doesn't do it. How can I get him to understand that I'm the boss, not him? I find myself constantly disciplining him or telling him "no", instead of enjoying our time together. I know he's probably acting like a typical 4-year-old, but what can I do to make life more pleasant for all of us? Any tips on how to keep my patience?

I think he thinks it's unethical or something, he shows his disagreeing and it kinda takes some of my excitement away... he is so relaxed and just want to be excited...

So I was expecting a baby. She was due 12/31/06 ...on 12/12 There was no movement ... After approx 4-5 hrs. at the hospital we were back at home. The next day a different hospital visit was made where labor was induced and my little girl was gone. How does umbilical cord strangulation happen? How can it be prevented? and Why didn't they take my baby when she was alive?

My period came on the 27th of November and started Clomid 5- days, Started the 1st of Dec, and ended the 5th. This month just like last and ovulated, I had horrible cramping, but this time it started on Dec 9 and went thru till the 12th was this too early to ovulate? Last month I felt it on the left side this month it was on both sides, felt it all over what I think was my ovaries. Anyone else experience this and could I of started to ovulate 4 days after taking my last pill? I would say the cramping got the worst on the 10-11. Please help!

I have a 2 year old daughter and I'm on a limited budget. What are some inexpensive ways to make her room cuter? Right now it's just a crib and a dresser. She really likes Elmo, so I'd like to include him in the decorations.

My fiancee has 2 kids, ages 7 and 9 from a previous marraige. We have them every other weekend and almost all the time over summer break. Well, the thing is, is that they are sooooo troublesome. They contsantly fight, not normal sibling rivalry but punching each other, kicking, and so on. They are also destructive too! They pull paint off of walls in our home, have torn the curtains in their room off the wall, broke their light, and broken other things by fighting. They don't listen at all and nothing seems to help. His 9yr old will cry and pout when she doesn't get her way or she isn't allowed more food when she's had more than enough. His 7yr old just laughs when she gets punished like its a joke and will continue her actions. Also, his 9yr old has been caught by us stealing things from our home and at stores and no matter what we try, she doesn't realize that it's wrong. The sad thing is, is that their mother doesnt care and my fiancee really wont try to fix it. Any help!

my 7 week old son takes 40 mins (sometimes 90 mins) to finish 4 oz of milk. Is this okay?

In how much time does a baby normally finishes 4 oz of milk? Any tips on how to make him drink faster. I have already switched to level 2 nipple.

Is this behavior normal, or is the baby being overly attention seeking?

My 18 month old is getting his very back teeth in all at one. I have tried those teething tablets and he gags on those and then throws up. Tylonol and motrin don't seem to be helping much at all since he is still screaming. I have more teething toys and other safe things that he can chew on, but nothing seems to be helping. What can I do?

I know this little girl, she is 8. She has 3 little brothers, one that is 7,2 & 10mos. Now i took this little girl shopping once, and i got her some gloves and some boots, (along with a lot of other things). And now, not even three whole months later i saw the gloves on the 7 year old's hands and the strings from her boots on his shoes! Her mother also always has her taking care of her other little brothers. Like she is always changing the 10mos old's diapers and her mom is always telling her to "look after ___(the 2 year old)" like it's her child. Also, the girl told me when we were shopping, that she has to sleep in the living room on the couch! apparently they only have a two bedroom house and her parents have one of the rooms and her brothers have the other one. But i always thought that in a case like that the parents would be the ones with the living room, right? Because of this, this little girl has become incredibly responsible, do mothers usually do things like this?

Ok i'm a week late with my period.. but just as i got home from work today (at 11:30pm) i have a touch of blood on my panty liner, so i'm wondering if i'm going to start (heavy) tomorrow in the morning. here's the thing, if it's just blotchy, i have a gyno app. on monday anyway, which i was waiting for to take a preg. test. i just have 2 questions, 1. if it's blotchy, is that still a sign of pregnancy? and 2. if it does start my regular period in the morning, is it ok to stil go to my gyno app. on monday, or should i call them first thing and reschedual it when i know i wont be on my period? THANKS! :)

I have often debated this in my own mind. Is it wrong to tell children the "worlds greatest lie" of Santa Claus? or it is a part of childhood that you should let your kids have fun with? Eventually you WILL have to explain that it was all a huge farce, so what do you think?

My boyfriend and I regularly do dry sex. Sometimes with just my panties on and his boxers on. On my panties, I always have a thin sanitary pad or a panty liner, but my panties would still sometimes get wet. My bf and I never *** by doing dry sex but both of us would get wet. If worst comes to worst, his precum might have soaked into my panties, but I really dont think that he had that much 'cause I would usually ask him to stop when I feel it I usually have my period start on the 21st but last month it started early. I can't remember when my last period started but it ended around the 17th or 18th of November. Since we do dry sex regularly, I was never really worried about getting pregnant before or getting my period soon, but when I looked up that there might be a possibility that you may get pregnant from doing it just two weeks ago. I just became quite paranoid about it. I'm just worried. I've been having stress lately from all the schoolwork, but now I just want to have my period.
