Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 January 2007

i have panic disorder and i take klodipin, cymbalta, and trazodone.
trazadone is for sleep and cymbalta for depression and balancing my seritonin. klodipin is and anti anxiety and calms my panic attacks. these medications work for me and i belive in the past i never got pregnant was because the stress my body indured from panic attacks everyday. now that my chimicals are balanced i feel maybe i will also become more firtile. is that true or could these medications cause infirtililty? are they safe to take during pregnancy? and now that im and happy and back on track will cause me to be able to get pregnant on theses medications? what should i watch for while trying to conceive on meds?

Hello everyone! Im going to be having 2 showers as ALL of my family is in another state. But that shower is going to be AFTER the baby is born so everyone can see her. But i have a friend here where i live that asked to throw me one for my friends here before the baby comes (yes im very lucky)
Here is my problem tho.....
My husbands sisters (5 of them) and Mother do not speak to me. We had huge blow up arguments over me not wanting his mother in the delivery room with me and many other horrible things they have said to me. So my question is do i have put them on the invite list? It would be really akward if they came...
would it be horrible to just have the shower and not tell them?

What did you feel like at 5 weeks? I feel like I'm about to get my period...my stomach feels bloated, my breasts are sensitive, and it just fels a bit tight down there... and I'm scared to have sex and find out I'm not truly pregnant (fear of actually getting my period). Has anyone else ever had this fear?

My 5 yr old boy goes absolutely wild after ingesting candies. When he visits his grandmother, besides being fed well, is also fed lots of candies. When I go to pick him up, my mom says, "I can't control him anymore", I'm sure its the sugar rush, because he doesn't do that for me. He runs around with no motive, talks gibberish, and literally cannot sit still, he even begins hitting and biting his sisters for no reason. My girls don't seem to have this behaviour after eating candies. Is it the candies or could my son have ADHD?

I had just got done with my Progesterone challenge I was on 10mg for 7 days however it's only been 3 days since my last pill and i still have not had any withdraw bleeding and to my understanding it's not a good thing if you don't have withdraw bleeding after taking this hormone. I have had my pituitary gland, thyroid, prolactin levels, liver/kidney function, white/red blood cell count and everything was perfect, i went in today and had my LH and FSH levels tested but i have to wait for the results. I am 20 years old have been married for a year and possibly thinking about conceiving. I have not had a period in over a year and i do not have PCOS. What is wrong with me, anybody ever had this happen to them. my doctor said something might be wrong with my brain but all the most likely causes have been ruled out due to my blood tests, I do not take medication nor drugs am very clean...I do smoke cigaretts..I have tried ovulex, female toner, vitex, rep raspberry ect nothing worked..help

a quick sharp pain in my abdomen. Now, I know, I know everyone says it is just stretching ligaments, but it wasnt the same pain as that, it was just a sharp jab, then another, then another. I was curious if anyone has had their baby kick, and it felt like that. other wise i dont know what it could be since i wasnt moving or changing positions, i was just sitting still, so it couldnt have been ligiment pain, right?

I need to clerify that they have been living with him for 2 years. I live 6 blocks away. they chose to live with him as I am with my own mother and her home was not big enough for all of us. I don't know how to let their feelings out. They seem depressed and angry, also at their father. Especially my 14 yr old daughter. There was a time she never wanted top leave his side, now she is angry that he is sick and is tired of caring for him.

I cannot get my 2 year old to pick up his toys. He goes to a daycare and doesn't seem to have a problem with it there. I end up having to pick them up myself. I try picking them up with him, taking them away if he doesn't pick them up, and making a game out of it. I'm a single mom who needs help with a whining boy.

We are going on a family vacation and I need to know how to keep my kids safe from the sun when we are on the beach. I have a 4 year old and a will be 3 month old. It's not going to be really hot but warm enough to get in the water. What else other than sunblock can I do to keep them protected? Where can I get one of those huge unbrella's for shade?

I put him to bed every night in his own room but almost every night he ends up sneaking into my room. He knows he is not allowed to sleep in bed with me and my husband so he just sleeps on the floor. It is not the biggest problem but i just don't know why he doesn't sleep throught the night in his own bed. Any advice?

i live with my b/f and his pararents . they are hateful people
they hate black people use racial slurs they hate gay/lesbians and call them freaks they belive all gay/lesbians are child molesters they use the word fag as if it hi.
other then this they are wonderful with my son. they took us in when i had no where to go.
but i was not raised this way. my mom never says theses things so i did't .
i don't want my son to think this is ok behavior as he is growing up. he is onlly 11 months but i wondered if he could be picking up this
so i try and aalways say mikey mommy dosent care if you are gay or straight as long as you are happy and i always tell him that there is bad and good in everyone and color has no say in who is good or bad
my b/f thinks this is non sense and that our son will be fine.
so i wonder if anyone else has any suggestions on how to teah a child not to judge others or maybe a web site that helps to teah tollernce

I have daughter who will be 3 months on the 25th of this month. I currently wash her bottles and nipples in the dishwasher on the sanitize cycle (doc said this was fine). This cycle takes 2 hours to finish.

I was just wondering when it is safe to switch to using just the normal cycle?

Should I rip her a new one? I called CPS about a month ago on her ex fiance's mother. Their house is trashed. They cleaned it up and then the children were allowed back supposedly. Today the CPS had a suprise visit and told my sister to pick up her children ( two of them ) and they were never allowed back. They also had to rush my 18 month old nephew to the emergency room because he had a temperature of 103 and it was down for 104. Should I give her a piece of my mind for not listening to me when I told her that her children were not safe there? She is an IDIOT! What should I do or say? I know to be there for my niece who is 4 and my nephew.

You hear so many articles about women who are really overweight and their periods are irregular, so they dont' ovulate regular or even at all. I am really overweight (and in the process of losing weight) but my periods are regular every month. I maybe be off by a couple of days but it always shows every month. does this mean I am ovulating? I can't tell because when I take my temperature it never spikes when it should.

Alright so my parents are education orienated (sp). They made me take advanced classes through high school that I would pull a C+ or B- in, I was always a year or sometimes even 2 years ahead of everybody class wise. Im not the smartest guy around though, and I cant even imagine another 4 years of school after high school.

Ive talked to my counselar at school (ex-Marine), an Army Recruiter, and a Marine Recruiter. I WANT to enlist in the Marines and get an associates degree in Criminal Justice (I already have 12 of the 60 credits I need) while Im enlisted, but have no idea how to break it to my parents.

Im in good shape and can easily do the IST at the recruiting office and have good ASVAB scores, I want to enlist as Machine Gunner. Im sure you know the kind of parents Im talking about; all pro-college and my mom is totally anti-me going to the Military but my dad always supported ROTC or the Academies. But I WANT to enlist and get an associates degree from there, REALISICALLY,

I want a unique baby name.. but it seems everyones going for 'unique' all of a sudden. I am trying to stay away from Aiden or Jayden, even though I like these names... because they are so overly used! one name I came across is 'Draegon" it means 'dragon hearted' or 'fire hearted' ... pronounced Dray-ghen... one of the same ways you will pronounce jay-dhen.. i want the truth.. but kep your mind open. say the name out loud once or twice... and understand im not ever going to name my kid bob or jim (not that those are bad names! :) ! thank you for your help. I also will take some suggestions, besides your ideas on the name ive picked. :)

is this normal? Some days i feel like i have a lot of energy and i want to clean my whole house and get everything done, other days like today i feel so drained and dont want to leave my couch. I think part of this is im home alone all day and about sick of the boredom but i was just wondering if this happens to anyone else? Could this be beginning stages of nesting or have anything to do with the fact that im 8 months pregnant? Thanks.
