Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 January 2007

I was supposed to start my period on sunday ( this sunday the 14) I started early this morning ( which is weird) I am usually VERY on time and if anything I will be a day late. It is not heavy but it is not light ( no clots) I have also had diarrea really bad( sorry if TMI ) and by back hurts a ton. Could this be my real period or do I have a chance I might be preg? I had sex a few times around the time I ovulated but my husband pulled out. ( I know it is not a good method) We also had sex last night could that have anything to do with it? I have heard about implantation bleeding but how common it that and I thought it was only light bleeding? Thanks tons!!

PS. I have not taken a test yet because I do not want to waist my money incase it is to early to test or if everyone thinks this is a normal period!!

IT'S A GIRL!! I stopped asking my relatives about what they think of names because the feedback is rarely positive. I am being induced on 1/16/07 if I don't go into labor first and we STILL can't find a name!!! Here is the list of names we like so far...


Matea (my husband's favorite - not sure what I think of it)

Callie/Caleigh

Maya

Kori

Addie/Adi/Adie (probably my least favorite. We liked Addison until I found out how ridiculously popular it is. So, we tried shortening it.)

Hayden (I LOVE this, but I know it's a pretty popular name for boys right now!)


We want an "M" name for either 1st or middle name because of a family member who recently passed. I am open to suggestions. I like names that are different and a little rare, but don't sound like you're trying too hard.

I have 3 children so I know to move them up a size in diapers if they have blow-outs, but the watery breastfed baby poop leaks out anyway depending on how the baby is positioned when the BM happens. I do the cold water rinse on the excess and a pre-wash in the washing machine in cold water with detergent but I still seem to end up with the faint yellow stain on baby's clothes. I'm sure there is a product that will get it out if I treat it right away, I just don't want to buy everything I see to try to find the right one. HELP!!!!!

I'm not sure if it's morning sickness as it happens throughout the day. And hot flashes! Extreme dizziness, to the point where I almost fell off the couch! Is this normal or should I go and see my OB? I'm concerned mainly about the dizziness. It happens all the time. The nausea mainly happens after a dizzy spell. I'm getting really nervous to even have a shower unless my husband is home. I'm terrified of falling and hurting the baby or myself.

The big sister is Zaharah so something that kind of goes with that.

I asked this before and didn't really get many answers to the actual question. What makes a sensible woman go from 'I don't ever want kids' to having one? Could it happen to me?

Hi all, he's turning 19 months. It has happened twice now where he wakes up and cries uncontrollably for no reason. He used to wake up in a good mood all the time. Could this be the start of the "temper tantrum" stage?

I had a baby 4 months ago, tried to breast feed for 2 days, didn't work so went to the bottle/formula. I dried up and now I have noticed that I am starting to leak again. Has this happened to anyone before? Is it normal?

My son is 19 months old and I catch him crying in his sleep quite often. Like last night he must have done it 3 different times. He isnt actually awake because I go in and check but he will be tossing and turning and almost like letting out one big cry in pain and then its over. But the one time last night he cried a few times so i went in and picked him up to hug him for a few minutes and as soon as I did he was ok but I heard his stomach bubbling and then he let out gas. I guess that it is a possibility he had gas pains but this happens a few times a week. Does it seem weird? I asked the DOC and she said thats normal....? But I have never heard other parents talking about it.

This is mainly for my5yr old who gets into everything and anything.However only myself&my husband know the password.We told our14yr old before&he ended up telling his sister,leaving it on&generally being careless,so now only we know it.The other evening when my 14yr old had finished his homework he wanted to go online.I was out&my husband was on the phone so he asked him to wait5mis,the phone conversation went on longer then expected&my son kept interrupting.After20mins of waiting he through a tantrum BABY STYLE screaming and shouting the he was too old for this s*it blah blah blah.My husband spanked him and sent him to bed,he has been going to bed@7w/the baby since but he does not realise

I had sex about a month ago on December 10th. My period was due that thursday (14th). It did not come. On that friday(15th) i had nausea and sore breasts. The nausea lasted 2 days and the sore breasts for 5 days (they did grow and are still that size). I took a pregnancy test 2-3 days late and came up negative(17th). 9 days after intercourse i felt a pain in my lower left abdomen that lasted 6 or 7 hours and never felt again. After 5 days of having sore breasts and nausea, my symptoms went away completely and that next thursday (1 week late for my period/11 days after intercourse) i bled on the heavier side for 2 days and the period or implantation bleeding stopped after 5 maybe 6 days. It has now been over 4 weeks... i have no pregnancy symptoms, i am not tired.. only when i work and the only thing i have are headaches which i have always had even before now and my legs and feet get sore after workin for 2-3 hours. i know the best thing is to take a test.. i just want an opinion.

My 16yr old son is a busy boy. He works till 6, comes home and doesn't want dinner, then goes out till curfew, then comes home and thinks he can eat. I think he should stay home at least 2 nights a week (to hang with the fam and his lil bro). So is this to much to ask? My hubby thinks I should just let him go and be a teenager.


HELP!!!!!!

Do you think new mums should be given more financial support after having a baby so that they can stay at home longer? Most mums go back to work because they have bills to pay.

Ok I've made the mistake of laying with her to put her to sleep since she was born. She just turned 3 two weeks ago. How can I break her of this? She's on a pretty good schedule, usually asleep between 8:30 and 9:30 every night. I have tried slowly one step at a time leaving but it's just not working. Like, for the first week I laid on the floor beside her bed, the next week I'll lay in the middle of the room, and so on until I'm finally out of her room.. It's just not working, she thinks I'm playing a game and she wants to play too. She has a night light and is very comfortable sleeping in her room. She just wont go to sleep by herself.. What do I do?? Should I worry about this now or wait until she is just a little bit older? If I should wait then when is enough, enough? She'll be starting preschool this September and I want her to be broke of this before then..
