Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 January 2007

I take her to the doctor regularly about this problem! I am breastfeeding and all she wants is my breastmilk. I'm on a high fat diet to try to get her to gain weight that way. But the doctor wants me to try to force her to eat! She just gets mad and frustrated and throws the food back at me! It's always been this way We try to sweeten her food up, we try to let her feed herself, we try to let her sit near her sister and copy her sister, we try everything! Every few days she will eat what would be equivalent to what she should eat per meal. Other than that she eats a few green beans, or one french fry, or just a few pieces of corn, or one bite of banana. PER DAY! We have tried everything and she jsut will not eat food or drink from a sippy cup. She only wants to nurse. It's starting to harm her, she hasn't gained an ounce since October. I am only 4ft 8, Husbands only 5ft 3. so it's in her genes to be small, but the doctors are concerned. Other than that she's healthy, Please Help ME

I experienced something that seemed like implantation bleeding on the day of my period, which only lasted 3 days, and was nothing more than some brownish spotting on the toilet paper when I wiped. It wasn't a flow or anything more than that. My periods are heavy and last 7 days. Well, this spotting ended on day 3.

So on day 6, I took a test. It was one of those types that have two windows. One window is called the control window and it always has a line to show the test has absorbed the proper amount of urine for testing.. The other window determines if you are pregnant or not. The window shows a horizontal line for negative, and a plus sign for pregnant.

Well, a slightly faint horizontal line showed after a few minutes. It was lighter than the line in the control window, but still indicated not pregnant. There was a tiny, tiny little white line through the horizontal line, but more to the left, instead of straight-thru the middle as it would have been if it were a positive sign. Plus if it was a plus sign, it would have been pink, not white. I think that was an evaporation line, and it dissapeared in a few mins anyway. I was wondering if it is still possible for this to have been a false negative?? Should I retest now that a few days have passed and the HCG in my urine might have built up, if I am pregnant?

When my father passed away, I was just a year old and wore a pretty pink jacket and hat to his funeral. When my aunt had her first girl, my mother gave it to her, to borrow, for her little one, and she then used it for her other two children. Then my cousin, my aunts daughter, gave birth to a girl and my aunt gave it to her, and now her sister has had a girl, and she has gotten the coat. Well I recently had a girl, and shes 4 months. I really want the coat back, and my mother has asked for it but she said once her daugther is outgrown it she will give it to me, but the problem is, my little girl and her little girl are the same size, her daugther was premature, so when her daughter outgrows it my little one will probably be to big for it, and I won't get a chance to wear it. It has so much meaning to me, and I really want it. What can say to her so I can get it back, and not be rude about it?

My first baby I delivered at 37 weeks. I had NO contractions to tell me I was in labor. I just woke up one morning with a VERY slight backache and went in to see my doctor. I knew I had already been thinned out and had been dilated to a 2 the week before. When she checked me that day I was 5-6 cm and I was told to walk over to L&D. I was hooked up to the monitors and was having some good contractions but didnt feel them at all. Three hours later my daughter was born. I am 35 weeks and 2 days pg with my second and curious if you guys think that things will happen similar to the way they did before. I am just worried that I will be in labor and have NO IDEA AGAIN...i would have never known with the first if i hadnt gone into my doctor that day!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby together. We don't know the sex of the baby yet. But for a boy we have decided on a name (Hunter) but we are debating on the girls name. Grace or Rylie. Please tell me which you like better.

I have two toddlers--18 months old and nearly 3 years old--and we just moved to a new place that has a stone fireplace with a hearth that's raised about 4 - 6 inches. They are both fascinated with it, and won't stay away from it. My husband zip-banded the screen together so they won't climb in it (lol) but we can't keep them off the hearth. They both run over to it at 90 mph and step up on it and walk the length of it. A) it's very dirty and needs to be cleaned (apt. complex is going to do that later this week) and B) more importantly, I'm afraid one of them is going to run and trip and take a header into the corner of the stone. Does any company make some type of fire place padding or corner padding for this type of situation?

What is the proper way to administer it to my 2 girls-who are 5 and 10 years of age? Should my husband and I use the same approach? Should we only use our hands or is a belt okay when they are very naughty?

It's a complicated situation. My mother asked my if her boss of 15 years could borrow my 7 year old son's old baby crib and changing table that I had stored in the basement. My fiance and I weren't planning on having more children, so I told my mom her boss could borrow the crib for his grandchild and give it back when finished. Then a year and a half later I fall pregnant. When I asked my mom to get the crib back from her boss she said she couldn't ask him that b/c they still use it for their grandchild and she said her boss does so much for her she just can't ask him for it right now and that she will buy me a new one. Problem is I don't want a new one, I have the matching dresser and toybox at home, I want mine back before my new baby gets here!!! How can I ask for the crib back without pissing anyone off (mom or her boss) ? or should I allow her to buy me a new crib?

Hi. My cycle is 28 days. My period was due January 7th (Day 1 of the cycle). On that day, nothing occurred, but later on that night, I experienced brownish spotting when I went to the bathroom, but nothing else. Day 2 and 3 was virtually the same, nothing but a bit of brownish discharge and spotting. Not even enough to wear a pad, let alone a panty liner. It wasn't even enough to consider it a 'light' period

On Day 4, it stopped completely. I usually have a full 7 day period and it's always heavy! It's like I barely even had a period at all. I On days 5 and 6 I kept checking to see if it started back up, but there was nothing at all. It had completely stopped. Day 6 I took a pregnancy test and it said negative. But, I've been having headaches and yesterday (day 9 of my cycle) I had some pretty bad cramps in my lower abdominal region. Today's Day 10 of my cycle, should I try to retest again? Does it seem like it could have been implantation bleeding, and it is possible for it to occur on the day your period is supposed to start?

It happened to my sister, she had the same spotting/brownish fluid occur, that lasted on a couple of days. And it turned out she was pregnant with her 2nd child.

At 16 weeks pregnant my belly has really started to show and became harder. For the past few days though I have started to feel stretching and have felt the baby move quite a bit but my stomach doesn't look as big as it was and feels not quite as solid I dont think. Other than that I still feel great and am glowing, have developed sciatica again though over the past few days. I know it may sound silly but I am quite worried, would I know this far on if something was wrong?
