My 4 month old always has her hands in her mouth, she has a pacifier, but once thats out she is always sucking on her hands. Is that normal? I don't like her having the pacifier all the time but I don't like her sucking her hands either. What do I do?

Im 14 years old and im having a baby i am 6 months pregnant and i really need advice. I just found out 4 days ago so this means for this whole 6 months i thought i was just fat. But dont call me stupied because 6 months ago i went to my mom to tell her i might be pregnant and so she took me to go get me a pregnacy test at the planned parenthood center and we took a test and it said negative. So then she put me one the birh control shot. And when your on birth control you dont get your period so i was herer thinking i cant get my period so i didnt get it but i had the sythoms and i thought they were normal then i broke up with the guy cause he went for another girl. So i was dating other guys then i dated this guy for about 4 months and so we had unprotected sex cause i was on birth control i told him i thought i was pregnant so we took 2 test they said positive so i waited a month to tell my mom cause and i wenty to the doctor and i was 6 months pregnant. Is my baby going to be healthy

My baby just turned 1, and he goes down fine at bedtime, but then he wakes up at 12 or 12:30 and stays up for 1-2 hours. This is probably 3 nights a week. I am exhausted. Yes, I check his diaper and rock him and hold him and nurse him (probably part of the problem itself), and nothing helps. We have a dr. appointment on Tuesday for the 1-year check-up and I'll bring it up there, but I was wondering if anybody else survived this.

I just picked up a FP soothing ocean toy for his crib. It soothed him at lunchtime--a mac and cheese eating cherub was he!--and I hope it will help him at night too.

I really need some constructive ideas, particularly what to do besides going into his room and doing what seems natural (comfort him, or try to). Thanks so much.

I am in my early 20's and live with my boyfriend, we have babysat his niece (4mo) about 7 or 8 times since she was born, the youngest she was when we had her was probably at 1.5 months. I was curious at what age other mothers left their child with a sitter, I love her so much and enjoy the time I get to spend with her, I just think it's a bit strange that we have her for long hours and she is so young. Not that im complaining at all! We have her for usually 4/5 to as much as 10hrs at a time.

I understand mommies need time off, just wanted to make sure this doesnt seem out of the ordinary or that something is wrong.

Thanks for your repsonses!

Has anyone ever, or know of someone, who was pregnant with twins and lost one. I am 2 months pregnant with twins. I just lost one this morning. I was spotting a week before. The doctor told me that everything was ok, and now this. The doctor said that the other is ok, but I don't know. What is the likelihood of the other baby surviving? 2 months is early to miscarry. What should I expect. I just don't have much trust in the doctor word that things are ok with the other baby. Also the pregnancy was done by IVF.

My son is able to say words he just will not he even signs some words but still we have to ask over and over and over again before he will say what he wants. He would reather just point and wine and hope he gets what he wants. Should I be worried about that or is this normal for first children?

Hi ladies,
I'm about 9 days past ovulation (provided that I ovulated according to my normal 28 day cycle).
I took a test with 25/mlU with first morning urine, and about 7 minutes into the test it showed an extremly faint line in the test window. By faint, I mean that you have to hold it up to the window to even see it.
I, of course, didn't pay any attention to it past the 10 minute mark so I wouldn't confuse it with an evaporation line.
The reason I took it is because my breasts REALLY do hurt today. I'm sleepy, but didn't sleep well last night either.
I have another test and will take it either tomorrow or sunday, but I ws wondering your thoughts.
Do you think it could really be a possitive result?
Of course i'm not going to go telling my husband, hey we're pregnant" just yet, but I was just wondering your thoughts.
Thanks so much in advance. : )

I'm 23 weeks along, and just last week i started to notice pains at the very bottom of my stomach and sides (inside and outside of my hips). it sorta feels like i'm expanding, then again i dunno. i especially experience this when i'm turning from side to side at night ( can only lay on one side for about 45 min to hour at a time). what could this be a result of? am i laying wrong or could something be wrong with the pregnancy? I am gonna call my doc and explain the situation, however i did wanna get feedback from other moms as well. Thanks So much!

He was suspended from school, again.This time he was mad and yelled in class that he was going to kill the MF that stole his pencil. This is the last chance school. He is 17 and will be 18 on 3 months. He is already grounded till Jan 20th for being late. Grounded means no computer, tv, phone, company, leaving, electronic games. What more can I do to help him see he HAS to grow up and behave? The only thing I can think of is to give him kitchen duty, cooking,and cleaning, till he is no longer suspended. He HATES kitchen duty. Please help with any ideas. He does admit what he did was wrong but he can't seem to stop himself!
