Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 January 2007

Ok I have a two year old and since she was born I've never had any problems with her waking up in the night for milk or for anything. Now for the past month, she wakes up every night at least once for some milk. What can I do to get her to stop waking up. I've never had this problem. I've tried just letting her cry for a bit but it doesn't work. She'll just keep crying until I get her some milk. Also since she has been drinking alot of milk during the night she wakes up in the morning soaked with pee. I MEAN SOAKED!! I currently use Pampers Cruisers and have since birth. What other diapers are good to protect against leaks in the night?

I was wondering how long you could, or should do it, when to stop, obviosuly it shouldn't be very rough at all, but any advice for a couple (who before this had sex everyday) to prepare for the months ahead?

Last night my hubby and I had sex without protection, we did not think anything of it because we have heard that it is hard (not impossible) to become prego while in the menstrual cycle. what are my chances?

Has anyone ever experienced any anxiety, nervousness and just a feeling of "Oh my goodness what have i gotten myself into"? when they first got pregnant? I'm excited, and then i get nervous and panic, is this normal?

Adoption --
Expensive, long procedure, may or may not get approved.
May help with overpopulation.
Natural conception --
Contributes to overpopulation.
Warm fuzzy feelings of having your "own" child, less legal hassle.

I don't really know. I'm not a mother, so feel free to correct any of the above and state your own opinions of pros and cons of either.

This past holiday we went to visit my husbands family. I hadn't met his brothers, but I'd met his sister once.

The first thing his mother did when his sister got to their house was call me over and hand me the baby. After, awhile I put the baby down. Then when the brothers got their with the wives and kids. They started doing the exact same thing.

This went on for a few hours, until I started to walk around.

I felt really uncomfortable, because they didn't really talk to me. Just handed me the kids.

Then his mother said that they wanted to send of the 3 year olds, to us to visit. Well, we live 3000 miles away and we both work.

Is this what inlaws do? We just got married and aren't thinking about a family. We are both young and work.

Is this what I should expect everytime we visit?

My husband and I have been trying on and off for about 2 + years to have a baby. I was that someone could give me some tips? I am pretty healthy. I dont smoke, I work out, eat well...I was wondering if you know of any natural herbs or whatever that ACTUALLY work? I was going to order a natural fertility drug off of the internet, has anyone used anything like that? And did it actually work? I have read the website testimonials but am not sure....Also, is there anything food or drink wise, that can help with fertility? I am getting pretty down that I havent become pregnant yet...I always figured it would be SUPER easy to get pregnant, but now I see that isnt true.

When i found out i was pregnant it came as a shock. I thought about keeping the baby but what kind of life i would lead. I suffer depression and anxiety and the thought of staying at home with a screaming baby scared me. The father is a ex drug addict loser who doesnt work and he's just into violence(not with him anymore). I went through with the abortion and it was a horrible experience but i was relieved when it was over. You may think i'm a bad person but now i know it was the best decision.

I found one by Two Hearts at Sears. It is a knit material. It does tie, but it is very long and hangs well which compliments my figure. Know where I can get more like this?

I'm thinking of quiting bf because my baby is 3 months and not gaining much wieght but still eats every hour. I've been going to a consultant for the 3 months and am taking domperidon (which makes me very sick). The lactation consulatant can't help me anymore and my supply is getting lower and lower. I can't stand to see my baby hungry all the time. When I give her formula she doesn't need to eat for at least 3 hours. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I have read all over the place about birth plans. This may sound stupid but, what is a birth plan? Like what does that mean? I'm only 30 weeks and yes, I am starting to pack for the hospital.. well, I will very very soon but, other than that. People are saying to include the birthing plan. I need some help! Thanks!

Im 20 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and up until a few days ago, i felt him move around at night. However, ive not felt him really since N.Y.Eve and I am a bit worried. Is it still too early to feel him move about reguarly, or should i be worried? I know after a certain point they move around alot and u feel them everyday, but not sure when this is?

Same goes for bed time.
My baby's 8 months old. From the day she was born, she didn't require any special "method" do fall asleep, she'd pretty much just fall asleep in my arms (or my husband's) and I'd put her in her crib. At 2 months of age, she would let me hold her til she'd start gettting drowsy, and then when she'd close her eyes, I'd put her down, and no problems. About 3 months ago, though, she started to change, she'd just let me hold her for a little while, and then she'd start wiggling and turning, trying to get out of my arms... She just wants me to put her in her crib and leave her alone, and she'll fall asleep! I feel a bit ... unwanted... Is it normal for her to do this? Or is she upset with me?...

Thanks very much!

I last had sex about 10 weeks ago, I am on the pill and during my 2 "Pill free" weeks I have had slight bleeding, but not as heavy as my usual period. I have taken 4 home pregnancy tests over the last 6 weeks and all have been negative. However I have been feeling sick and dizzy for a few weeks and am worried I may be pregnant. I know that home tests are supposed to be 99% accurate, and surely 4 cannot all be wrong. Am I just paranoid?

my dad took the key to my bedroom :( thats my only key!

how do i get him to give it back to me? i hate the thought of him being able to go into my room at any time.

he says that it is because my dog locks my bedroom door, and he needs the key so he can take the dog out for a walk.

i dont have anything to hide in my bedroom i just hate the thought of my parents going through my bedroom.

how do i get him to give it back???

I just turned 21 in October and we found out I was pregnant on December 13. I am very excited, but every at home test i have taken has shown very faint positive results. I even went to the local health department and took one and they had trouble confirming it. After they decided that i was in fact pregnant, i took 4 more tests during the following 2 weeks ( Since the hCG levels increase, i was expecting the results to be clear as day by now). Those other 4 tests were still very faint, even the one i took today at 7 weeks and 2 days! Im so nervous because I dont know weather to be excited or prepare for a dissapointment. I have a prenatal appt. on the 10th of Jan, but i wish they could get me in sooner. One day i feel very pregnant, then the next day i dont. has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any words of encouragement?
