I've tried massage, warm bath, moving his legs in circular movements, giving water, putting on his stomach - nothing seems to help. He cries while straining, but in a while he's fine again. Then, when he finally pops, it's not hard, very liquidy. Although I'm concerned that it's so infrequent. I have a doctor appointment in a month, though I probably should see him earlier with this problem. Maybe somebody has same issues and knows how to resolve it?

I have tried drinking lots of water, nursing more often, drinking "Mother's milk tea" and taking and herbal supplement called Fenugreek. Is there anything else I can do? My son is only 2 1/2 months old, and wanted to keep breastfeeding as long as I possibly can. Is there a prescription medicine that I can take?

I just came back from my doctors appointment and am scheduled to be induced on 12/27 (my due date is xmas) because my cervix hasnt even started to even efface....the doctor was telling me that she would start by inserting cytotek into my cervix to get it to ripen. Has anyone used this to be induced? Is it safe?

Child support is supposed to be for the benefit of the children, not to support ex-wives lifestyles. So many women fleece their ex-husbands for all the money they can get and treat it as an income source for themselves. Sure there are many fathers out there who shun their financial support for their kids, but there are also many who pay their fair amount for child support. It's a sorry man who will not support his kids, and it's a sorry woman who will use the money for her own benefit.

On visitation, women cannot withhold visitation in order to control the financial issue. Even if a father is not paying child support or is not paying enough, he has the legal right to see the children and any court will uphold this. Financial support and visitation are two different issues. It's plain sorry for a mother to withhold visitation to get money...it's the kids that suffer. Too many wome think this way.

I'm three months pregnant and for about three weeks now I have been getting terrible headaches. Tylenol doesn't help, Sudafed Sinus doesn't help. What can I do? I think it's sinuses.

Ok, we have two boys. Both were born naturally ON the due date. Now we are having a girl and she is already causing drama. 1&1/2 weeks overdue. Things have are getting kind of stressed out at our house. Everyone is ready and sitting around just waiting on something to happen is getting tough. So we have decided to get some suggestions or wives tales and try them tonight. The boys and I have been given the task of collecting ideas. My boys are 3 and 5 so their ideas have been entertaining if nothing else. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

I like soft colors like pastels for baby room, but lately I have been seeing dark colors like jewel tones. I really like disney characters, but they are dark colors and I don't like that. Can anyone tell me if there are some baby bedding over the internet with soft colors?

Well we talked about having another baby and decided that would would take it in three month spurts like try for three months and then take a break for a month or so we are in no big hurry to have another baby right now, but we would like to have another one. Well this month would make the marker for the last month of actively trying and then January would be our breaking period well we talked yesterday and he is seeming real down about alot of things, the house we were going to get he has now changed his mind about it and has decided he wants to wait longer to have another baby. I am very supportive on the whole house and waiting to have another baby thing b/c i feel when it is time we will have another one, but the thing is I think I might be pregnant this month and I don't know how he will take it if I am pregnant. It would have happened very quickly and honestly I am now thinking I wished I would have waited until we got our house (which we are still talking about getting this one

What age is it appropriate for kids to understand? I just want to inform my child the right way before hearing it from the kids at school.

Thanks.

My doctor referred me to an ob/gyn, but he is so booked up that he cannot see me until I am 12 weeks along. I tried calling to ask questions and they blew me off. This is my first pregnancy and I need some guidance. My husband is worrying I may be put on the back burner by the ob/gyn during my pregnancy.

My friend has two children and she said she suggested to look for a new ob/gyn that handles new patients with more care. I cannot go to her ob/gyn since he moved away. I don’t have any other friends that have babies other than my boss who is a good friend. But I don’t want her to refer me to someone since I don’t want her to know I am pregnant as I am only 6 weeks.

Any advice?

How do I find a good ob/gyn?!

We dont know what to do. He doesnt show any kind of love or anything towards the girl and its hurting her i feel really bad about it but theres nothing i can do. His family and ex are all forcing the child on us and blaming me for him not wanting her. But it was long before me that he didnt want her. Im pregnant and we are both happy and thats causing a lot of problems with his family. He wants to try to sign off all rights i heard he couldnt but he doesnt see her or pay for her anyway. Anyone have any advise?

2006-12-21 05:54:09 · 7 answers · asked by lisa c 1 in Pregnancy

my first day of last period was the week of 13th(either 14th or 15th i think.). I had three positive preg tests the month before that. Then started my period (or bleeding at least) on oct 18th. I went to ER and they said i hadnt been pregnant(the pos tests were done like 2days before that at home. ) Well i an never REAL regular on my period but close enough. SO I should have started this passed weekend. I didnt. Instead i have had cold/runny nose/flu like symptoms since last weekend. I have been REAL drowsy, I have have severe muscle aches (like when u have the flu) headaches off and on. I feel bloated and my boobs hurt. I have taken a few tests and they have all turned out neg this time around. Maybe it ws too early. i dont know. Other then going to the clinic or doctor right now what should I do. We want another baby. I was devastated to find out i had miscarried 2 mo ago. I am SOOO depressed right now. I just want to find out. Thanks.

My LMP says that I should be 27 weeks along. I've had several u/s one @ 7wks, 8.5wks,14wks, 16wks, and 20wks. The baby has never measured accurate to my LMP, but does match from the date of the last u/s. Is there any reason in my case to not trust the dr. About how far along I am. I'm currently 21 wks and from 22 to 27 is a pretty big jump. what do you think , oh yeah the baby was weighing in at 11 oz on my 20 wk u/s so I don't think he's a small baby

I've been really sick for about 2 weeks. Nausea, food aversions, feeling like I'm starting my period, but nothing. I'm extremely tired all the time, my breasts are sensitive, I get heart burn frequently. A couple months ago.. I went through the same thing.. One day I could eat meat another I could only eat sweets. Same thing now. What scares me.. One day these symptoms stopped.. and I bled really hard for about a week, blood clots etc. then I miscarried. So... any ideas on whether or not I sound pregnant.. and how I can keep this pregnancy? I am planning on going to the doctor, but wanted to get some advice before hand. :) Thanks!

My period was due yesterday, been feeling abit queezy, bloated, breasts achey and nipples sore,really tired and eating abit more than usual. I did a First Response early pregnancy test Mon 18th which showed a very faint line so repeated test last night. the line was slightly darker but still lighter than the line that shows the test was done correctly. I thought it may show up abit more if I did another one this morning but the line was about the same the same as last night. Im hoping Im pregnant but dont want to get too excited at this stage cos Ive read about chemical pregnancies.Do you think I am definately pregnant and do you think Im right to worry at this stage and not get too excited?Thank you all in advance for your answers.
