Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 January 2007

I had a leep done several years ago. I was told then that I have a "small" cervix and my dr. was careful not to remove too many cells. Which is still my current OB who did the procedure. However, Im wondering how often LEEP procedures contribute to incompentent cervix's and carrying babies to term. I will be sure to ask at my next appt. but any info would be great. Thanks!

hi,
i am 5 months, and when i was 2 1/2 i started showing already. This is my first full pregnancy, (my first one ending in miscarriage) so it was really a shock to everyone. We all thought i was either longer than i thought or having more than one. When i was 4 months,i got an ultrasound done and its as far along as i thought at first and only one baby, but said the placenta was really high in my abdomin. Does anyone else have this? is there a reason for it? and is it more in having boys or girls?? just curious..thanks!

When I came home from work he was past out on the floor with 2 bottles of vodka just sitting there. When he woke up I told him he should never drink unless he has some left for me. Then we got high sniffing glue. The end

Hello, well heres the short story- Im 31 weeks pregnant, and my husband accepted a job with the State police last year. It is a 6 month training process he started in Oct. and ends in March, right when the baby is due (4 days difference)
He is gone all week even at night and now they arent letting them come home on the weekends....he tries to call as much as he can.....i know what hes doing is his life long dream and will be a good job when the training is done
BUt i cant help feeling abandoned during a time i need him most and i feel so alone. I have some days where i feel like im not even needed or important...are these just my hormones?
Am i wrong or selfish to feel that way??

I'm 38 weeks and i've definintely hit the nesting stage, and I'm really anticipating the birth of my first daughter so much. I've packed her bag for the hospital. I have clothes to bring her home in, some wipes, and diapers, just in case, and a blankie and the car seat of course. But as for me what do I take? I'm planning on breastfeeding so should I take a breast pump so that I can pump while at the hospital? will they let me keep her in my room to feed her during the night or will she have to stay in the nursery for observation and stuff??

I'm a 20 year old new mom. I'm trying so hard to do my beast to be a good mom. My baby is only 4 weeks so I have not had to do much but I still feel like I can be doing better. My mother told me to get the baby out of my best and stop picking her up when she cries. When people tell me things like this it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. I know it sounds crazy but I'm trying my damnest to be the best mother ever. One reason is because I'm a young mother, my baby's father is not around, I use to get into alot when I was younger and I'm trying to get my life together. I don't know what I'm going to do!!!!!!! Can anyone help me!??!?! Or will I just feel like this at first and then I will go away when my baby get's older.

I am now 12 3/4. When I was younger, I'd go on tons of porn sites just to look/get horny/satisfy my curiousity. I stopped because we kept on getting viruses. We got a BRAND NEW computer. My mom AND dad both knew I used to go to porn sites. I told them I won't again. And I told the truth. I never went on a porn site the day we got our new computer. Now, we keep on getting e-mails from SUPPOSEDLY recent sites that were visited and they were porno websites. I never went to a porn site with this new computer, and once my dad even hit me because I went on one when when I was little. So, who keeps on going to porn sites now? I live with my mom and dad. My mom doesn't even KNOW how to use the computer and my dad is a computer expert. After he got off the Internet one day, I checked the history out of curiousity only to find a bunch of 'xxx' sites. My dad keeps on telling my mom that I went to those sites and I keep getting punished for something I didn't do. My dad keeps doing this (CONT'D)

I basically have to change him while he is standing up as he hates his nappy being changed. This morning he managed to kick my glasses off my face.

He must sound like a real horror, especially if you also read my question on teeth cleaning.

I assure you he is a very loving and happy boy, except when it comes to these two things.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I sould be disciplining him when he plays up?

I put a question on a few minutes ago about weather miscarriages can be caused by not being able to carry girls. Some answers were harsh one saying it was insane and gender has nothing to do with miscarriages. I would like to clafify a few points. Two of my babies were scanned at 11 weeks which showed they were both normal with strong heartbeats and normal size. However at 12 weeks their hearts stopped beating and I had to have an operation to have them removed. After this the babies were tested at the hospital and no abnormalties were found. So please dont tell me miscarriages are because they are not viable or due to abnormalties. The hospital suggested it was more to do with my body treating the pregancy as a foreign body. I do know of cases personally of women not being able to carry boys, but have never heard of it about girls. But thankyou to those who anwsered wishing us luck.

She really loves this toy that we play with when I babysit. It's really annoying because it takes a lot of effort to play. What should I do to get her to stop playing the toy?

Parents use the excuse the kid is only 4,so taking the helpless kittens life cat is all right if you are 4 year, Are we underestimating 4 year old and teaching the child to believe they are not capable of much at this age?.
By the time you are 4 you should know better ,and be capable of going through life with out committing murder before
kindergarden.
Here is a wake up call, that Countries out side the US are ahead with their children.Their children are more Superior mentally and genetically.
ADD the most poor excuse used by simple parents for their bad behavior in their kid ...ADD is unheard of in other countries.

Okay I am 27 and because of a snafu I live at home with my mom and dad. My sister dropped her kids off 10 years ago so that she could go and keep doing her drugs. She has called them maybe 10 times in the last ten years if that. Their dad cared about them more in my opinion but he is dead from a flesh eating virus due to drug use as well. He was trying to get off. Anyways My nephew has been stealing my food for a very long time every time he does it I call him on it. Well this time he got all bent out of shape and threatened to cut my face up. He drinks in his room in a seperate house, if I call the cops I will get thrown out. Last night was it and now my dad is angry with me because my nephew threatened to cut my face up. He thinks I instigated it by telling him not to eat my stuff. He is 18 and know right from wrong. He is underage to drink and he smokes pot, he has no diploma and the only reason he is going back to the GED program is to get money and to beat up some kid posting more

My son is generally a very good boy, except all of a sudden he refuses to clean is teeth. I was given some advice which was to not let him off the seat until he has let me clean them. I have tried this everyday since I was told this (which still doesn't result in his teeth getting clean any only resulting in him crying and screaming and it has now become an event which we both do not look forward to. I am putting his behaviour down to the terrible twos as I am pretty sure he is not teething.
