Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 December 2006

I am 37 weeks pregnant. I have had the worst pregnancy ever! Gestational Diabetes, morning sickness the whole time, etc... The doctor said he would take her early (up to 2 weeks). I'm only 1 cm dialated. Should I try Castol Oil? If not, what are good ideas to try?

Me and my husband are expecting another baby in a few months and I would like to have my daughter sleeping in her own room by the time my new baby arrives. I know it's my fault that I can't get her out of my bed but she was my first child. Believe me I learned my lesson. Never again. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

-I had unprotected sex last friday. Later that day my stromach was huring really bad. He did not *** inside of me. (I have heard storys about percum...idk if they are true)
-I should have gotten my period the 18th and I have not. I had unprotected sex that night, also.
-Usually I get my period in the morning...so the way I look at it I'm 3 days late.

I just thought since I was close to getting my period the chances slim down from getting pregnant. And friday I had really bad cramps..I was in tears. I have yet to get anymore. I usually get little cramps a day before my period.

When should I take a test? and what are my chances. THANK YOU!!!

ok Dec. 7 i started my Depo shots, Dec. 13 i had unprotected sex( i know im very fertile being that my period just went off) but i want to know how long does it take for the shots to actually work? I ask because yesterday(Dec. 19) i bled a little it was like a blood clot and the doctor said i would have those on the shot, but would it be during my period or any time is what i dont know. So if you could clarify any part for me that would be helpful. before going to a doctor to see if im pregnant already.which i dont think so. Thanks so much.

The RN asked me to go back for another blood test. Has anyone has this experience and did you have a healthy pregnacy? I have been trying to conceive for over a year and I am very stressed out for keep trying.

every day i read questions about your kids mis behaving and asking questions on how to deal with it! WHEN are you going to take a stand and and tell the government to butt the **** out and raise you kids like they need to be raised.dont give them a time out or take there stuff from the give them a good old fashon spanking. it teaches them respect and right from wrong
lack of disapline is the main cause of your kids acting up.

Ok, I am not kidding here. I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter. I was raised in foster care so I was never really disciplined any way accept "groundings" which werent that big a deal. My pastor as well as my pediatrician have given me some suggestions on discipline with her and spanking her was one of them. Well I have tried the whole time out and taking toys away stuff and its not helping. I was never spanked and honestly dont really know how to do it safely. Any advice? ( please do not respond if your just gonna say DONT SPANK)

I am 5 days late for my period. I have never been late for a period before except when I was pregnant with my son. I have not been using birthcontrol or condoms. I seen a nurse practicioner today, and she gave me a perscription for provera. Provera is suppose to start your period for you, but it is extremely important that you not take it during pregnancy. It can cause severe birthdefects. I feel so uncomfortable taking it, because I feel pregnant. I have been sick and tired. Not the same as with my first child. I am not ready for another child, but I don't want to risk hurting my child if I am. I took a negative pregnancy test today my 5 th day of being late. Should I take the medication, or should I see a different doctor willing to give me a blood test?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant, dilated to a 2 (almost a 3), and 80% effaced. I've had no contractions, just a lot of pressure and the doctor said the head is really low. Any mom's have any idea on how much longer it might be? I know sex helps labor, but are there any other ways to kick start labor?

My daughter is almost a year( on the 30) I put her on whole milk about a week ago...before that she has been on nutramigen ( a hypoalergenic formula that has no cows milk in in.) I thought by now she would be grown out of the allergy. Well anyways when I put her on the milk she got very fussy and diarea. (I kept her on it for about 4 days) she kept the diarea and fussyness. I then switched her to a lactos free milk and she has been still fussy and diarea and she has started throwing up. I need to know what else is there for her to try and if there is anyone who has had a similar problem?? I am going to see the doc today but I just need your advice.

I don't want people jumping on here critisizing me for letting my son cry it out, I don't need to explain myself to you people, so I won't. Basically my question is when I put my son down for a nap and he only sleeps for like 20 minutes and wakes up crying, do I only comfort him and then leave him to go back to sleep, or do I get him up and try for a nap again at a later time? He did this yesterday, I got him up and he was still tired, when I tried to give him a nap later it was HELL trying to get him to go to sleep.

My daughter is almost 4 months old and I am trying to give her medicine that the doctor gave me for her ear infection. Everytime I try and give it to her she spits it all up and I'm concerned that she's not getting any of her medicine! I have tried several different ways, I'll put it in her mouth and close her jaws but she won't swallow. I have also tried putting it all the way back by her throat and she still won't swallow. She also congested really bad due to a cold and I'm trying to give her that medicine from the doctor too! It all ends up on the front of her shirt! What should I do?! I do not give her any other food besides breast milk and formula so putting it in baby food is not an option, and I can't figure out what to do.....

My mom is 50, I am 26.

My wife and I are having our baby after being together for 5 years. My mom hated my wife since she "stole" me away from her, and was very unhappy that I got married and "left" her. Now she finally has her first boyfriend in 8 years and my wife is 2 months pregnant with our first child. My mother doesn't know yet.

My mom has told me many times that she is too young to be a grandma, and that she can't put her life on hold for a grandbaby. She is so wrapped up with her boyfriend of 2 months that I think she will think being a grandma will ruin her life or take time away from her boyfriend.

I am expecting her to be very unhappy when we announce the pregnancy at Christmas dinner. I know everyone else will be happy, but how do I deal with my mom? My father is dead, so its hard not to have a parent who is happy for me.

Yesterday I woke up and I had some brownish spotting (no cramps or pain). So I called my doctor and she scheduled an ultrasound for this morning. I went there thinking that I was 7 weeks pregnant but the doctor told me that according to the ultrasound I was only 51/2 weeks. There couldn't hear any heart beats yet. They asked me to get a second ultrasound in 10 days to make sure that the baby is growing. Is this possible even when I have regular period cycles of 28 days? Has anyone else experienced this before? Can the baby just stop growing at week 5 1/2 and stay in my uterus? Thanks much!!

I found out this last week that my baby died six weeks ago. I have yet to miscarry it. Will i expell it? Or is it possible for my body to just absorb it? And are there any known herbs that can induce a miscarriage? I'm trying to avoid a D&C because i don't want to wait 6 months to a year to try again. And also don't necessarily want the medical bill. And please no comments on how it would be best for me to just go ahead with the D&C. Thank you

My wife kind of hinted that she wanted a present after our first baby is born. She mentioned wanting a ring with the baby's birthstone in it so one day she can pass it along to the baby when he or she is older. I wanted to give her something else too.

Do you know any other gifts from a husband to give his wife after having a baby?
