Does anybody know how to change into and out of a swimming suit for gym class discreetly? Like under a towel? or how do you do it? I'm afraid that when we start swimming, the stalls will be full and I will have to change in front of everybody. Any help?

Thanks.

My 3 year old son is really constipated. He needs to have more fiber in his diet. He drinks prune juice on a daily basis, but it does not seem to keep him regular. Is Benefiber strictly for adults or would it be ok to give it to him?

Is it possible to put a newborn on a schedule??? My son is almost 2 weeks old and I seriously think he has his days and nights mixed up. He has taken one good nap today and the rest of the time he is either wide awake which is fine, but when it comes time for bed he doesnt want to sleep. He will start to fall asleep and when I lay him in his crib he wakes up and cries. The only way I can get a little sleep is if I lay him on my chest. I know I cant keep doing that though. Is it ok to lay him in his crib and let him cry himself to sleep? I dont know what to do. I feel like I am going crazy! I just want to do things the right way. This is my first baby, and I am lost. Please help!!!

have anything to do with him not talking yet? He says just a fews words. He is not in daycare. He isn't around any other children at all. Just his father and myself. What can we do to get him to talk? I have tried not giving him his cup till he says cup or juice or something. But, I have been told that is not a good idea. That the child would rebel. What else can I do? Please help.

How harmful to your baby is it in the early stages of pregnancy when you have smoked and drunk before knowing you are pregnant? I know that some woman don't even know they are pregnant for about 3 months and they have done all these things without knowing!

i am 35 weeks and 3 days. My baby dropped yesterday, and he hasn't been moving much at all. I was wondering how long after your baby dropped was it before you delivered your baby. My baby is expected to come early.

It's a bit tougher to get pregnant after 30 I heard. I've been off the pill for 5 months now but haven't been trying to get pregnant. How do I know when I'm ovulating? Do certain positions work best? Does laying down for a half an hour or propping yourself up with a pillow help? Any other suggestions?

I know there is a point, where it becomes basically impossible, but I am wondering how long it is ok. Is there a point where the baby is big enough for it to be harmful for you to sleep on your stomach?

I had a tubal ligation almost 8 years ago. This month, I had started menstruating Jan 1st to the 3rd. I started feeling pregnancy symptoms around the 12th. Now, I awoke this morning and am, bleeding again. After much research I have learned that after a tubal-the sperm and egg aren't even supposed to meet, but somehow they are. The ovum is either too large, or my tubes are too damaged for the fertilized egg to make it to the uterus. So, my body is recognizing the fertilized egg, but starts a menstruation cycle when it doesn't reach the uterus. I'm afraid of an ectopic pregnancy-but I do regret having a tubal ligation, and now wish to have another child. Now I am wondering if there are natural steps I can take-like vitamins, or sleeping a certain way-losing a lot of weight? something that might help naturally-without having surgery or in-vitro fertilization. This happened to me once in 2004, and has happened 3-4 times now in the past year and a half.

I had sex with a condom 23 days ago on the 27 of december. I had a period the day I was supposed to the 8 of jan. It lasted the amount of days it usually does until the 12.and was no lighter then usual. No symptoms of pregnany at all so far. I did use a condom and am almost positive it did not rip. I took a pregnancy test that detects pregnancy 5 days early. I took the pregnancy test 20 days after I had sex and it was negative. I feel like a heartbeat in my stomach. My mom said there is no way I am and so did my husband. They said I had a normal period, took a test, used a condom, and he even pulled out before ejaculating. And my mom said you can not actually feel the babys heartbeat you can only hear it. Especially only 6 days after your period.
Do you think I am, Or am I just worrying myself.?

My 3-year-old daughter says that she is scared of her room. So, I went through and asked her which toys were scary and we took all of those out of her room. She still says she is scared of it. Any ideas of what I can do to help her get over this? Oh, she says she is scared of her time-out chair as well.

Months before my 3rd child was born, I decided to end my marriage. Due to the divorce & other stuff I decided I was going to tie my tubes after the birth of my 3rd child 4 years ago. Since then I have remarried to a guy who has no children. Now I'm regretting what I have done. We both hope someday we can become pregnant. I know some tubals can be reversed. But can they repair fallopian tubes that have been cut & tied? I do know that they removed 2.0 x 0.6 cm of one & the other 1.2 x 0.4 cm. Would anyone know if these would be able to be repaired?? Please help if you can. Thank You

To those who are experienced only? My last normal cycle was on Dec. 11,2006(lasted 5 days,normal) Started spotting on Jan. 1,2007(came on early,stayed for 2 to 3 days, very light, pinkish when wiped, not normal) Now backaches,headaches, stomach pains and constipation.

I took a test 3 times since after the spotting. Got 3 faint positive. One an equate, baby pregnancy test, and for sure. Each day you can see it better than the day before. What do you all think? I am preparing to go to the doctor. Need second best opinion! ;-)

I have had horrible insomnia since becoming pregnant, and I have not been able to go to work. I work two twelve hour shifts a week and I really need something to help me fall asleep just those two nights prior. Also, I have tried teas, reading, no caffine, etc., but nothing works. I'm up until 3 or 4 AM and I'm supposed to work from 6:30AM to 7PM. My boss is getting mad and I'm worried that I won't be able to work this entire pregnancy.
