O.k., my baby was on my breastmilk for the 1st 5 weeks of her life exclusively, but I have since went back to work and due to stress, I am unable to pump out that much breastmilk and I am not sure if she is getting any milk when she goes to breast (which is mostly at night cuz I work during the day.) Anyways, my supply is almost gone completely. I am only pumping out like an ounce at a time and that is every 4 hours. Sometimes, I don't pump out any at all. She has basically been eating formula for the last week. When she poops, it is in the morning and it is dark forest green. I called the Dr. and they said that it could be the change in giving her more formula. My mother in law said it is usually green when baby is sick. Dr. office told me to wait another week and call if it hasn't changed. When she poops more than once in the day, it is normal color like that orangy color. When I was breast feeding, it was yellow seedy looking. My question is, has anyone out there gone through this?

Have 1 kindergartener, a 3 yr old and a 4 month old. My sister in law lives with us, watches the kids while we work. Need to figure out a reasonable rate to pay her. She's lived with us since 3/06, she had a bed in our kids playroom and paid $300 rent. We moved, she has her own room. She started watching our kids 10/06. Our house bills (rent, pg&e, water, cable, etc) total $2665. I say since she has her own room, her rent should be 1/4 of the cost, let's say $650. We've been paying her $400 cash. So I say we've been paying her $1050 per month. She's on SSI, $850 a month, which she keeps because it's under the table. If she worked, SSI would take 1/2 of her check so I think she should count that $425 into what we pay her since she gets to keep it all. And she can't hold a job. We want to put the 3 yr old in part time daycare to get some social skills, she keeps him in the playroom, no interaction, same with baby. Daycare for all 3 is $1800, part time is $360. We can't afford daycare.

About two weeks ago I had unprotected sex. Five days later I had my period. Could I still be pregnant? I have been having headaches where even my ears hurt for the past three days as well as a really light head feeling. Would it be too early to have symptoms.
Thanks

She is 4 years old, very smart and talks very well. Sometimes she will say "Huh" when you talk to her,sometimes she will not acknowledge you at all. But sometimes she will answer or talk to you.

My beautiful baby boy was born in September via a c-section. During the procedure he received a spiral fracture to his left humerus and a haematoma (bruising mass) to his scrotum. I am angry that this has happened and have been informed that there is no avenue to sue the doctors repsonsible as I can't prove pain and suffering because he was a newborn baby at the time these injuries occured. I am not a money grubber and do not want to sue for monetary benefit. I just want the doctor to be held accountable. It is extemely rare for a baby to sustain a fracture during and c section and it is rare for a baby to receive a bruised scrotum so I imagine it must be exceptionally rare for a baby to receive both!!! My friend is a vet and has said that they pull calves out with tractors and they don't break limbs, so how rough did the doctor have to be for this to happen??? This happened in Australia and is more of a rant than a question but feed back from anywhere is very welcome.

So I thought I was pregnant last month, had a week late period with light bleeding and no BFP. It's about time for me to ovulate and I"m getting Egwhite cm, but my cervix is low firm and closed. My bbt's have all been like, in preovulation stage range, but consistant, within one degree, which is odd for me. normally they're a little on the erratic side. I"m just wondering what's going on here because I"ve been having like a ton of mucus but, I"m closed up like fort knox. Has anyone had this before?

When do you tell people that you are expecting? I'm only 8 weeks...I'd rather wait until I start showing but I'm having such a hard first trimester. I was thinking of telling my boss to explain my different-than-usual behavior (being extremely tired, snacking, frequent trips to the restroom). I feel like it's really noticeable because our office is so small-only three people.

Last night my GF and had sex, and I came in the condom inside of her. After I came, she thought that the condom had broke. To assure her that it didnt, I took the condom into the bathroom and poured water into it: there was no leak or tear as no water had come out of the condom. My question is, is have any of you thought the condom had broke but it ended up not breaking? and, is there a possibility she may become pregnant, even though I came in the condom which did not seem to be broken when I poured water into it and no water had come out? And another question would be, have any women tried to become pregnant while they were ovulating but did not become pregnant? Sorry if this seemed like a long question, just need some help! Thanks everyone!

This is my first pregnancy. I had a large stomach and lower abdomen before I got pregnant. My stomach/abdomen is still not really hard. Is this normal??? My doctor said I was fine a few weeks ago, but I thought your stomach was supppose to get really hard.

I gave birth 14 months ago. I try to have healthy meals more than three times a day or wherever I feel hungry. The thing that I am skinny, 3 kg less than before giving birth; I also look tired and my skin is not firm. A few years ago when I was a student my weight was similar to that but I did not look that tired. Is it because of hormonal change or what could it be? Should I take any supplements like evening primrose? I am still breastfeeding as my baby does not want to have a formular milk instead. Some people told me that it could be due to breastfeeding.

My son will turn 3 end of this year. He can identify more than 700 objects. He can even add and subtract in single digits. He can speak in sentences. However he still uses a lot of gibberish. He will say "The whale is in trouble"..then lapse into babble...then back to "let's rescue whale".My doctor says that a 3 year old should not be exhibiting *any* babble and asked me to see a Speech Therapist immediately.

We are a multiracial family. I speak english with a British accent and my husband is American and speaks like a mid westerner. We don't baby talk. We read to him daily. We thought our kid was doing great, but now wonder. Does anyone else have experience or advice?

I remember that with my first, once I felt him move, it never stopped. This one, however, I feel it only a couple of times a day, and that's it.

Has anyone else had this happen? I mean, as it is, this pregnancy is already the polar opposite of my first pregnancy.
