Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 January 2007

A girl I have been friends with for years told me an embellished account of something that happened with my daughter at school. I questioned my child and she repeatedly denied the story, so I spoke with the teacher. The teacher did some investigating and determined that what I had been told was somewhat true, but expanded to seem much worse than it actually was. This same "friend" is know as a town gossip and is always comparing material things and the success of her children in comparison to others. She also made me promise not to say a word, but, hello? I am a concerned and involved mother so I just could not let it go without doing some questioning of my own. So, I saw this same lady at school when dropping of my daughter and she put on her sunglasses and turned her head. I know that eventually we will confront one another. Do I call her now and call her out on her lie or should I wait or perhaps just let it die? What do you think?

My husband and I are trying to get pregnant... I have been trying to think of a really good way to tell him if I get pregnant. I know he is going to be happy and I don't want to just tell him I want to do something.... got any ideas? Oh yeah it will be our first child... thanks.

When I was in Junior High, I had a teacher that really made me feel weird--there was just something about him that I never liked from day one. This is going to be lengthy, but I want to give all the details so that you can make a fair judgement here.

I went to a private (Christian) school, and all my teachers were wonderful. Of course, they had their moments like all teachers, but for the most part they were really great--except for one teacher. It was his first time teaching at a school, but he had worked alot with youth in the past. He was the husband of one of the other teachers at my school (she was my 4th grade teacher). Since my classmates and I really liked his wife, we figured we'd really like him too. He was fun and made class interesting, but as time went on I felt more and more uncomfortable around him. He did things that would either creep me out, scare me, or just make you go "What the heck?"

This is my second missed period, but I have taken a pregnancy test and it wasys that I wasn’t pregnant. I know those things can sometimes be wrong. I’m on a lot of medications encluding birth control. If I am pregnant wouldn’t that harm the baby in any way?

I feel so bad when I have to bring my 3.5 months old son for a vaccine.
I hate seeing him cry, so when the date for the appointment approaches, I litteraly can't stop thinking and worriing about it.
I know that he better have the vaccine for a few seconds than the illness,and I would never say "No" for the vaccines, but I want somehow manage not to freak out so much for such a small thing.

Okay... I had unprotected sex Nov. 30 and Dec. 19 and missed my period in December. For the last past couple days I've been feeling really weird and nauseous. I haven't threw up but just really sick and feels like I have too. Does anybody think I could be pregnant? And should I go ahead and take a pregnancy test or wait a little longer?

I knwo that children at this age dont really listen to well. He is very advanced for his ago and gets into more "trouble i guess". I am not the best at disapling him, and every time i do i feel awful, i hate hearing him cry, it kills me. My husband is better with it. But n matter what we do he still insists on doing these things. He will even make sure we are watching him when he does. Is it for attention? I am a stay at home mom and am also 5 months preg, and my emotions maybe a bit worse cause that, lol, but i really dont knwo what to do. He is just very hard to keep in lie, from things we have said NOT to do, i am scared for the "terrible twos" if hes liek this already, lol. Then i feel like a horrible mother because i get so fustrated with him, and feel even worse any time i disaplin him, if i smack his hand he will try an smack me back. as far as i knwo alot of young children do things like this......i hope... :) if i could please get any advice that would be great, thank you

I have not had any testing done except the first ob visit at 6 weeks. Shouldn't I be having the AFP test or something? Please help! Also do you think we could find out the sex this time? We have ultrasounds at every visit so if at all possible we want to go ahead and find out. I kinda want to wait but am too excited to start buying little things.

I leave my toddler with a friend whilst i work part time a couple of times a week, we have been close friends for the past 3 years or so. Yesterday another friend of ours saw my friend hit my son whilst in the street. He was crying and she walked off and left him to go into a shop. My husband and i are both very upset and will not be leaving him in her care again. What would you do? I feel its my fault, i should have known.

I had an ultrasound done at 34 weeks 5 days pregnant. The radiologist said the baby's head is measuring closer to 38 weeks gestation, and his abdomen is measuring at 34w 3.5d gestation. There is a large discrepancy between these measurements which suggests placenta failure and or deterioration. I have to be monitored closely now and have weekly ultrasound apointments. My question is, has anybody else ever had this and went on to delivering a healthy baby? I can't find any notes or web pages on this in any search engine. If you can post any resources that would be very helpful as well.

A week ago I found out that I was pregnant. YEAH! Then I found out yesterday that my sister-in-law is also pregnant, and we are only 2 days apart! So I was thinking about having some shirts printed up with a cute/catchy phrase or "club" name about us being pregnant together. I was also thinking of doing the no. 1 on the back of the shirts with our names since this is both our first time!

having the contractions I thought was normal however, after about an hour I started having them every 3 minutes exactly for another hour. It finally stopped after an hour of contractions at 3 minutes apart but I'm still a little worried could this be a sign of pre term labor. the contractions were all in the stomach (tightening) but still was a little scary to last that long. should i be paying attention to any other symptoms

Have read conflicting reports about ginseng supplements during pregnancy, so avoiding those. Thought the much weaker tea version might be okay. Can't find info either way.

I want to get a tattoo once the baby is born, but I also intend to breast feed. Has anyone hurt of it being unsafe for the baby? Or know if the ink gets into the blood stream and potentially the breast milk???

My g/f has been doing 50 -100 situps everyday. Are situps OK to do when you are pregnant? She is only 12 weeks along and only has a little pouch so far.
