I had an ultrasound done yesterday I was 12 weeks. The doctor said there was a sack but no baby had formed inside so I would miscarry or get a dnc. Does anyone know info on a blighted ovulum? Did it affect your chance of getting pregnant again? How soon after this were you able to try to get pregnant again? thanks.

For those of us who do intend to start the weaning process at one year, why are we villified? If you want to be an extended breastfeeder, then more power to you. But it seems as if something is missed here - the AAP says, as long as it is "mutually" enjoyed by both mother and child. If one member of the team would like to have out - for whatever reason - at that age, they can and the child we be just fine. In fact, I really don't see the correlation between breast milk and intelligence. Health benefits, yes..fewer ear infections being one of them. But my husband was formula fed and he went to UT-Austin (and not on an athletic scholarship), and I was breastfed for six months and I went to NYU. Point being, we both did well and it wasn't because of how we were fed. I am nursing my daughter because that's my choice and I think she is getting optimal nutrition. For those who formula feed, they are doing what they can. I consider myself a moderate, respectful of all.

I have a an 11 year old daughter and a 12 year old son. They fight ALL the time. It seems to be some sort of power struggle. I am a single mom and don't know how to best handle it. Do I stay out of it and let them handle it? Being a referee gets very emotionally exhausting. They yell at eachother and call eachother names quite frequently. What do I do? they are supposed to love eachother, not hate.

I am looking for a new booster for my daughter. She weighs 24 lbs so she can be in the booster seat now. She is taller for her age around 34inches. I am looking for one that we will beable to use for quite a while and will grow with her. The last one I had was kind of difficult to use and it wasnt a tall back one so her head was coming close to the top of it. Any advice or site would be helpful.

I'm almost 7 months pregnant now. My 9 yr old daughter and I were at the book store. We sat down to look at the books that caught our attention. Of course I was looking at a pregnancy book and she asked me where does the baby come out. She's never seen an actual childbirth on TV or in person for that matter, so in the most simplest of terms I told her that a baby comes out of the woman's "privates". She didn't believe me, then she asked where exactly down there. I explained where vaginal canal was located and attempted to decribe it unsuccessfully. She thought I was referring to where #2 comes out.
After that I promised that I would find a good book that would assist me in explaining all of this to her, because I wasn't doing a very good job obviously and I did not want to confuse her any further. This is is the reason I've come here today to ask you, how do you explain all of this in a way a child can understand it?

Isn't it time to worry more about you and whats good for YOUR families health and wellbeing then being concerned about what sally jo thinks of the way you are raising your kids? Of course everybody is going to have an opinion, who doesn't...but who says you have to tailor your parenting skills around what others think, isn't that a waste of time?

My baby has such a hard problem making a bowel movement. Pretty much every time he has to go, he strains so much and he crys and is so stiff and his belly is real hard. I don't know if it's the formula or what but is this normal or should he go to the doctor?

My daughter is 7 years old and all she does is watch tv. She seems to be Obsessed with it. In the morning if she wakes up before me or her dad she asks to put it on. I am pregnant at the moment and I don't want this baby to follow in my daughter's footsteps, we have tried to get her to do other things like play games with us or reading and drawing but after a while she wants her tv back on. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

I went to a party on new year's eve to new years day, and this woman had 3 children a 7 yr old girl a 3 yr old girl and a 5 month old boy. When I went there at 8 the baby boy was on the couch sitting in his carseat. Dangerous of course. From 8 to about 1am I was taking care/playing with her children including mines. When they would ask her something they would distance themselves away from her, and if they did something wrong like not throw their cup away or bring a barbie to the living room they would get beaten..severly. The children don't even have bed sheets. With my children I nutured them and when they sleep I take them to bed and tuck them in, like a mother should! When my 2yr old was standing by the front door he got hit by it when someone opened the door, I gave him a hug and the mother said I shouldn't do that, Tough love she said. Aren't we suppose to nuture and give love to the children? Why show tough love?

I am a single mother, I have been recieving daycare assistance from the state of michigan while I work part time, but recently found out that after 3 years I am approved for social security due to a mental illness I have, my social worker has told me that childcare assitance is only available for working, and not school? I am no longer working but starting school next week, and will be attending one day a week for now, I am wondering if I qualify for any kind of childcare assistance while just attending school? if not I'll have to pay $35 a week, for just the one day, and even more when I decide to take more classes... Thanks for any info!

If you were to go back to college, what would you major in and why? I plan on going back this fall to finish my degree in nursing. I've always wanted to be a nurse specializing in labor and delivery.

My daughter in the past week has started hitting me, the dog, the highchair, the couch, etc. She doesn't seem angry it's more like she's testing me but I don't want her to think that this behaviour is ok. She has also knocked several people in the head by throwing her toys. What's the best way to correct her behaviour?

hey guys my husband and i are trying to conceive but i am not having periods, not sure why..had everything checked out and things were perfect..Have not had a real period in over a year and i'm only 20..maybe my size is the reason i'm 5'3 110lbs, i am not stressed or anything. I do drink(on the weekends) and i smoke regularly. I have been pregant befor but sadly i lost them due to abuse(not by my husband)...I have tried ovulex which obviously was worthless and a waist of time! have tried vitex, dong quai, red clover once, female toner which had chamomile, red raspberry ect and had a extremely light period, i did not have to use anything it was so light..want clomid but dont have money to go to gyno right now, could i ask my regular doctor at first choice to prescribe them for me or anything else that would work wonders????please help
