Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 January 2007

I had a tooth infection and the doctor gave me clindamycin, he said and I checked that it was safe for babies while I was breastfeeding. Now it seems since I started the medicine my baby can't move her bowles. Should I stop my medication, or give her some kind of suppository?

I was wondering what color eyes do the parents of violet eyed children tend to have? Such as... does one parent have brown and the other blue? Or both blue or one green and one blue? etc.. Wondering if there are any violet eyed people out there with some interesting answers!:)

age of 14 or 15 ?
DO you NOT understand consequences ? DO your parents not tell YOU it's wrong at that age to have sex ? ARe you easily led like a sheep to beleive at the age of 14 or 15 he REALLY LOVES YOU ?

Im not trying to be ugly, but damn people, what are you thinking having sex that young ?
SEX is a serious thing and I think todays youth doesnt understand that, I mean YOU all have sexed in your schools and the internet to learn about sex and how to protect yourselves to STILL TO MANY OF YOU are becoming mothers to young

JUST FED UP WITH THESE QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE TO YOUNG TO BE HAVING SEX AND BABIES

what do you think would be a good middle name for a baby boy named Peyton, the last name is going to be Sparks.
I'm trying for something not too unusual but something you don't hear that often.

I am a FTM (first time mom almost 33 weeks) and I am taking an all day long prepared childbirth class tomorrow at my hospital. For those of you who have taken these type of classes did they help and did you learn a lot of helpful information? Any input would be appreciated!

Help!!!!!!!!!!
We have moved to a larger property that has a down stais toilet. My son 2 and daughter 1 are obsessed with it. I lock the door all the time, but when someone goes to the toilet they dash in as they are leaving throw, toilet rolls. toys, batteries etc in there and flush the chain. I have disciplined them, explained to them why it is wrong, shouted, distracted them but nothing works they're addicted!!!!
The main problem is when vistors are leaving the toilet as I cant stand outside to stop them entering as it would make people feel uncomfortable, and its not their place to stop them.
Any tips?

i'm still a teenager. when i get older i want to adopt older kids , you know the teenage throw away kids that have been through a lot and nobody wants. and also the kids that are in a family(like a brother and a sister) so they won't have to be separated. but everybody is telling me that the older kids come with problems and emotional issues and to go with babies and toddlers instead. i still have lots of time to decide, but what do you think i should to?

I have a best friend who lives in St. Louis and I live in DC. We've known each other for over 20 years. We talk on the phone 3 times a week and visit every other year. For some reason, our cycles tend to coincide.

Okay, so here's where it gets creepy. I started feeling nauseated, my breasts were tender. Then I found out that she was pregnant. But it's only gotten worse. I've gained 5 lbs (I lost 20 2 years ago and have kept it off until now. Even after doing the elliptical trainer 3 times a week for an hour) and I lost my period for two months. I've gotten 2 yeast infections (I only got these while pregnant), my breasts are spilling out of their cups, the fatigue! and all I want is peanut butter & jelly and fruit.

My husband thinks it's funny, but I think it's annoying. I am definitely not pregnant, because my husband had a vasectomy over 3 years ago and I am not hitting anything on the side :o). Plus, just to be sure, I took a pregnancy test.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Two test with E.P.T both had the same line that was but wasn't there. (possitive line was very very faint and much skinnier than the broad negative line)

my friends a little more then a week late with her period i went with her today to take a pregnacy test but it turned up negitive. shes felt nausua almost non stop and shes been extremly tired and her breats are very tender. She has frequent head aches and i am wondering wat other reasons could she be having all these symptoms. is there anything that could cause you to miss your period besides stress and pregnancy? What are the chances that she is still indeed pregnant?

We have to buy the store brand diapers for budget reasons, but they smell terrible out of the box. Is there any way I could add a little scent to them without irritating my daughter's skin? She'll be 2 in a few months, so she's no longer a newborn. She's also not ready yet for potty training, so we have to live with the diapers for a few more months. Any suggestions?

he wears a scarf and hat that i made (crocheted) for him. He loves the scarf set and tells all his friends that his mom made it.
i think it is still okay for him to love things his mom does for him...i dont think he is a momma's boy...he just understands the love that was put into his stuff...is he going to get teased and beat up for this???

Every time I take my family to the beach, I get lectures from my wife on how sun exposure causes AIDS and how I need to be more careful with sunscreen... I usually have my kids wear SPF 50, but I'm still concerned. If SPF 50 can't protect kids from AIDS, what can?

There is a theory that says if you have sex several days before ovulation, your baby will most likely be a girl. This is because the little girl sperm swim slower and live longer than the boy sperm, so at the time of ovulation the only sperm that is left is female. If you have sex the day before, the day of, and the day after ovulation, your baby will be a boy. This is because the boy sperm swim quicker and will reach the egg before the girl sperm.

Is what I was wondering, is how correct is this theory? Has anyone else ever heard of it? Has anyone tried it to prove if it is correct? Did this theory work for you?

Sometimes when a child is small and you have to teach him when things are dangerous a swat on the butt is in need. How can the government tell me how to handle this?
