Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 January 2007

Just curious as to if you are a stay at home or working mom. Why you made this choice, and if you are happy with it.


I'm a stay at home , work at home , single mom. I truly love being able to stay home and be with my daughter, and don't even consdier going back to my old professional job and leaving my kid. But, it seems like 1/2 the people I know praise me for my decision, and the other 1/2 think it's better to go to work and take the child to daycare.

Just curious as to what decisions others have made.

I think this is such a stupid question !!!! They don't make pregnatcy test so ppl can just ponder and twiddle there thumbs asking themselves and everyone else if there pregnant . IF YOU THINK YOUR PREGNANT GO TAKE A PREGNACTY TEST OR GO TO THE CLINIC SO THEY CAN DO A BLOOD TEST . THEN NEXT TIME BE CAREFUL !!!!!

I am frustrated. I have had some contractions, but none close enough together to go to the hospital. My hands are a little swollen today and vision a bit blurry. Anything else I should walk out for?

My husband and I took our 27 month old son to a developmental specialist today. She diagnosed him as "at risk" for having autism. Now we have to follow up with a autism specialist. He was born 6 weeks early and had a vsd(hole in the heart) repaired when he was 8 months old. He can draw a circle, say draw, this and dada. He's a good listener when i say "no" or "don't touch" or "bring that to mommy", he knows where to go when I tell him he needs a diaper change. He plays with toys like a normal child. He seems bright. He's not exposed to other children. He also has it pacifer alot of the day and when he sleeps. The things that concern me are, he flaps his hands and arms like he's trying to fly which is an autistic trait, and he has very limited speech. The specialist said that he did not make eye contact with her or turn around and look at her when she called his name. Most of the time he looks me in the eye when i talk and he responds when i call him. Am i freaking out over nothing?

Or, is it normal for them to want to eat so often. The pediatrician said to try and get him to eat more at his feedings....but he always falls asleep or doesn't want to feed for longer than 10-15 minutes total, usually just on one breast at a feeding?? Do they usually outgrow this, and should I just stick it out and feed him when he's hungry, or let him scream.....which is REALLY hard for me to do!

My son was born on this past Thursday via c-section 2 months early and is in the NICU. I started using a breast pump on the 6th and my milk supply still hasn't come in; I only get a few drops. Has anyone experienced this? How long did it take for your milk to come in? I'm pumping every 2 hours for 15 minutes.

I had a half shot of vodka in a glass of orange juice. I set it down to go do something and my 13 month old took a sip of it when I wasn't looking. I turned around just in time to see her set the cup down. She doesn't seem intoxicated and she didn't drink a lot. Her Pediatrition's office is closed already.. what should I do?

How late can someone have an abortion??? Not that I am thinking about it, but my husband and I are talking about Downs Syndrome and the tests that go along with it, but they don't do it until the 20th week. If the baby does have it, can I still have an abortion or not? Don't think I am evil, just wondering????
