I'd like to set up a schedule for my son when he gets home instead of just watching cartoons. He's 7 yrs old.

If your on the pill then presumably your body thinks your already pregnant so a pregnancy test would come up positive. Or am I wrong? I am very worried about this and would like to know if there are any big signs to look out for.

me and my partner are both profoundly deaf, and we have a 16month old son who is hearing. we cope very well looking after our son and he is a very happy child.
however there is not much support for us...there are lots of support groups for hearing parents with deaf children but cant seem to find any for deaf parents with hearing children.
i really want the best for my child and dont want him missing out on anything,although being deaf its hard to know exactly what i can do for him. i have bought him music cds so he can listen as he loves music and we have a dance with him even though we cant hear it lol, we also take him to playgroups etc... to help his speech and mix with other hearing children. he is growing and developing well.
i would love to hear from other parents/people in the same situation and would love some tips and advice about what you have done or ay support groups you may know of (i live in south wales UK)

thanks!

I have two sons who are named Andrew Scott and Joseph Raymond. My wife is pregnant again and we are at a loss for a name if it is another boy. If it is a girl, she will be named Evelyn Belle. We like strong well known names. Not interested in anything unique or a fad name. Can you help? Would like suggestions for first and middle name. Last name is Gibson.

My mother-in-law hasn't liked me since Day 1, possibly because my husband and I eloped. That hasn't bothered me as much as the way she favors my sister-in-law over my husband; when visiting, she'll stay at her daughter's house if she has to sleep on the couch, but she'll go to a hotel rather than stay in our guest room. She constantly gives my husband the cold shoulder, but the daughter's probably her best friend.
We had the first grandkid, and my sister-in-law had her son eight months later. I thought things were going better with my husband's family till our last visit: my mother-in-law kind of sneered at my son while smiling at his cousin; the cousin pulled my son down and hurt him and no one apologized, etc.
I really feel like my husband should take action here, but I don't think he will. Is there anything I can do to keep my almost-two-year-old son from feeling hurt by the preferential treatment? I'm afraid that things will get even colder if I say anything to his grandma.

I am planning on taking the full term of maternity leave however would like to quit completely. One income is not an option for us so I would have to work some time. Can anyone suggest part-time options for new parents? Daycare is not an option, makes me sick to think about it so, I need some suggestions for ways to have some sort of income to contribute. Thanks much!!

My son is 15 months old, and he is extremelly active, he is always on the go, he won't listen and obey commands, he climbs on whatever he can put his feets on, he is the most restless kid I've ever seen. You tell him not to do something and he still does it, and loves to do the oppsite of what you tell him to do. Also he loves to be loud and very, very, very noisy either yelling or playing with toys that he can bang around. I was wondering if anybody has this problem ?. How can I deal with this? what can I do to improve his behavior? Is it normal for some kids to behave this way? I seriously need help, because I have no clue of what to do.

Please give websites and the name of the surgery if you can. My friend has had 4 miscarriages total and 3 in the last year. She can hold the baby for about 6-10 weeks and she loses it. The husband and her both have had tests done and they are both normal. My mom told me about a surgery that can be done once the baby is in place and shows no sign of deformity. But mom doesn't know the name of the surgery. The baby will stay until full term.

I'm only 8weeks pregnant, my eating habits have changed
I want fruits and vegetables all the time. And the most craziest crave is WATER, I want a cold rain storm to come and i want to stand in it bucket naked. When I see water on tv like commercials with waterfalls, or those face cleansing commercials when they're splashing there faces with water I just drewl over them, or drops of rain, I take longer in the shower because I would stand there switching the water cold to hot then hot to cold and let the water run all over me. When I wash my hands in cold water I get a high when the water turns extremely freezing cold. I thought I was dehydrated or something but I drink water now with no problem. is that a sign of a BOY or GIRL.

YESTERDAY I WROTE: My doc swiped my membranes at 11am. I'm feeling lower back pains and now uppper back pains, and more pressure down there. I'm 40 weeks, 3 cm dilated and 50% efaced, my due date is 1/19/07 (this friday). I've had a few contractions about 8 mins apart. As of 11:48 am Thursday morning NOTHING. I did spend all night with sharp pains and even some pains running down my hips with additional pressure down there but not enough to go to the hospital. I called the doc and she said to wait till contractions are full blown (5 mins apart). She said it could still be another 48 hours till I'm ready to come in.

I have a 3 month old daughter who has not had a bowel movement since early tuesday morning. I called her doctors office to ask how long I should let her go etc. They suggested using Karo syrup mixed with water. Has anyone else done this to ease their babys constipation? If so did it work? How long did it take?

I just love to give my 11-month old daughter hugs and kisses, but she seems to dislike/get frustrated at the affection. (It seems like she's been this way in the past too, generally.) Is this normal?
