Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 December 2006

I dont know what to do. I thought I had a yeast infection, but it has been really itchy and red and swolen for over a month. i do have a discharge, but it isnt all that stinky, however, it kind of smells like infection. it doesnt hurt when i pee unless i've "itched it" and made it raw. i dont know what to do. it just wont go away and it is literally driving me INSANE.

My toddler of 21 mths has a very bad gum infection along with a fever. I can understand about the fever cause all toddlers get fevers at some stage, but i was horrified when the doctor told me about the gum infection, because my child is always spotless and so is my house and she also uses her own toothbrush and toothpaste! So how did she get a gum infection?

I have a little girl who just turned 2. She is still in diapers. We recently moved from Texas to Georgia. She started getting a diaper rash. We havent changed any of her normal foods or drinks. She hasnt been introduced to anything out of the norm. Same soaps and everything. I have tried Dr. Smiths RashN'All (which always worked in the past).

And when that didnt worked I tried another very expensive OTC rash ointment. (cant remember the name of it)

I see no improvment. It doesnt look like normal diaper rash either. They are red bumps that have space between them. Some have white heads and some look like they are sores. It covers both of her little butt cheeks only, however I started see one or two of the red bumps on her back, side, stomach, and vagina.

It doesnt seem to bother her or effect her going to the bathroom. She doesnt act like it is painful or anything. She isnt running fever and she had her chickenpox shot.

Does it sound like its time for a trip to the pedi?

My last period started Nov. 1 and i took a pregnancy test on dec. 13 and is came up postitive. I started bleeding on christmas morning and i am still bleeding and its friday. It kind of heavy like a period. I had a miscarriage before and i crampped all day and a lot of clots come out. This time it isn't like that. I went to the doctor and the did an ultrasound and they didn't see a baby sac. they said that it might be to early to see anything or that i had miscarried already. they did blood work and my pregnancy hormone is still high and they are going to do blood work again next week to see if it is still high or not. I am still peeing a lot and feeling sick in the mornings and late at night. Is there a chance that i still might be pregnant? I'm really worried. I was so happy when i found out i was pregnant. I really wanted this baby.

I came across the name Cosette while watching the movie version of Les Miserable. It has never been commonly used in the US, but I'm wondering if it strikes you in a positive way or just sounds odd? My family and friends are of mixed opinions.

We have 3 boys 13, 8 and 4. Our oldest hasn't been spanked in a long time, but lately he has been out of control. Last month it was so bad that we threatened him with a spanking and believe it or not his behavior was much improved for about 3 weeks.

However, here we are again it is going down hill. We've tried grounding and taking away his toys but nothing seems to be working. We tried reasoning with him and he usually back talks. The only thing that phased him was the threat of a spanking. He is still just a little kid.

Should we follow through with our threats?

I used it 4 years ago with my first son and preferred it to Johnsons, I am pregnant and want to use it with my new baby as well, the problem is, I can't find it anywhere, Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens nor BabysRUs carries it. Does anyone use it and like it or was there some kind of recall that I don't know about? Just wondering why it's not out there...
