today was my daughters 6 month checkup the doctor said she is 14 pounds but is good since she was only 5 when she was born. she also said that my baby is ahead deveolpement wise as she can crawl sit w/o support, stand(holding onto things) and can say 3 words my only problem is the doc seemed kind of rushed and not very friendly should i get a second opinion about her weight or does she seem fine?

the courts have been taking almost a year and a half to get everything settled and i just do not wanna wait no more..

my daughter, as well as my husband and I are very picky eaters and my youngest(6) will eat only limited fruit(apples grapes raw carrots), bread and cereal, peanut butter sandwichs and no meat at all. She also hates milk but occassionally I can talk her into yogurt. Before her only meat eaten was sausages(Brown&Serve! which noone else in our house ate) We cant go out for dinner unless it's IHOP! Now she informs us she will only eat Eggos for dinner-now 2 weeks. Should I worry? Shes already too small(5%ile weight and 2%height) for her age but I cant make her eat. If I give her a good vitamin for her age and weight, should I just let her eat what she wants? There is definately an aversion with all of us in the household to eat things other than bland tasting foods but she is even more picky. She has been around people who eat a variety of foods(grandmas, etc) and that made no impact at all. What to do, where is there help?

Hello-first of all im 27 weeks and i appreciate you taking the time to help :) I think most of it has to be my pregnancy hormones but the other half my personality...i have that once you do something horrible to me or if you cant stop being a drama queen i wont have anything to do with you. My In laws are the problem here...they said some really HORRIBLE stuff about me that wasnt even true...they apologized to me after my hubby yelled at them but they never went back to any of the ppl they said the nasty things about me to and told them it was a lie...They got mad when i said only my husband would be in the delivery room and that no his Mother could not be in there with me...I already dont want them to have anything to do with me, and definatly dont want them holding our baby...BUT i understand they are his family....any ideas on what could help in this situation? I have to live with these ppl the rest of my life and all it dose is stress me out to be around them...HELP!! Thanks!

I am 27 years old with a 5 year old son. He was a planned pregnancy. Anyhow i cannot make up my mind if i want to have another kid or not. I have not been on birth control in atleast 6-7 years and yes i have been pregnant since my son but i miscarried it at 5 weeks.
Sometimes i feel like i am just not meant to have anymore because why haven't i had another baby in this many years when my husband and i just use the "Pull & Pray method"?

Do you really believe it is really needed to have another kid? Will my son be missing out on a sibling?
Do any of you believe that you are meant to just have one kid? Wonder how i can make up my mind as to if i want another one or not cause if i did have another baby i would like to be i turn 30 and that will be in 3 years.
Thanks

I am 30 weeks and recently moved. I have Medicaid and once I moved, had to find a new doctor who accepts Medicaid. Contacted Madicaid and had them send me a provider list for OB/GYN's in this area. I have called the places close to me and I am having a problem with either a) They no longer accept Medicaid insurance, b)The doctor is gone until after the first of the year and won't be accepting new patients till then (if at all), or c) They tell me that they will not accept me because I am "Too far along" nor can they refer me to anyone who can help. One idiot actually had the nerve to say "O-well, just go to the hospital" I can see me sitting in the emergency room for a baby checkup. Ha!! Are they really allowed to deny me because I'm "too far along"?? I even had one place tell me to sign a release form and send it to my old hospital so they could transfer my records-which I did- before they told me they couldn't accept me. Now what do I do?? Anyone?

I am 15 weeks pregnant and a dr. who I ussually don't see prescribed me tylenol with codine for brocitis (Not spelled right). To me it does not seem safe for the baby for me to take it. Has anyone else been prescribed tylenol with codine while pregnant.

After knowing at least one person (I worked with over the summer) having a baby, or two now that I can remember. LOL And after reading in some internet forums, and noting that so many celebs seemed to have babies this year. Who on this forum was pregnant/had a baby this year, or is pregnant and now expecting in a few days?!!!! Or in the next year? Or had a spouse/girlfriend who was?

It seems like a huge baby boom came along this year. Are there any stats out there that have recorded how many babies were born this year?

I went to my doctor on Monday and he took me off the meds to make the contractions stop since they started at 7 months and I've been on bedrest since. I lost the majority of my plug last Friday and since then small amounts have been coming out. My doc said I'm 2 cm dilated and shorter and effaced (didn't tell me exact #). Today since about 3 hours ago I've been having what *I* think are contractions (top of belly pushing down, even down my back pushing down) they come every 5 or 6 mins and make me catch my breath. What should I do should I go to the hospital?? Or wait to see blood or WHAT!!

I was unsuccessful breast feeding my first daughter. I'm giving it a go with my second she is 5 days old.
I know she is getting milk cause I can hear her swallowing but sometimes even when I can hear her swallowing it hurts a little.
She always falls asleep before 15 minutes is done. Should I maybe only keep her on each side for 10 minutes instead.
She does have lots of yellow poopy diapers which the doctor said is right but I'm not sure how much she is peeing cause they may be in with the poopy diapers.
And it seems like she always want to feed it seems like between eating and falling asleep and burping it takes about 2 hours to feed and then she's ready to eat again.
I really feel as if we are on the verge of having this down but if anyone could give me some pointers or advice I would appreciate it. Easiest ways to get her to latch properly would be nice.

I am 24 years old and my husband is 25 we have been trying now for 6 months with no sucsess. I do have ulcerative colitis and I was told this would not hinder my efforts to concieve. Many of my girlfriends around the same age have gotten pregnant right away, my doctor says I should continue trying and only return after one year has passed. Any suggestions or tips about how to speed up the process? Any advise would help. I have used ovulation kits and nothing has happend yet..should I be worried?
