Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 January 2007

I know that the hormones are all unbalanced and you can't have sex for at least 1 week and be "protected" but what does it do to the rest of you? I forgot to take mine 2 nights in a row though but am not going to be having sex for at least a month so I'm not worried about that.. just wondering. Thanks!

my 4 month old son has a cold and a fever. His normal feeding is about 4 oz of formula every 2-3 hours. Now that he has a cold, he wont eat at all maybe every now and then he will drink, but not enough. Not sure how what to do to keep him nourished and hydrated. Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks

my baby is 4 months old, he is breastfeed and he won't sleep through the nite. he wakes up 4-5 times between 9pm and 9am sometimes he refuses to go back to sleep. he wants to play at 4am in the morning. i let him sleep in my bed because it's easier to nurse him that way. any suggestions

My 2 month old sometimes sleeps more than 4 hours during the day. During the night, he only sleeps 6 hours the first stretch and then 3 or 4 the next. He is breastfed, but I thought he would sleep more. I try to keep him up until 9 or 10pm but he conks out around 7 or 8 lately. If I put him to bed at 8 or 9 he wakes up at 2 or 3, then again at 5 or 6. Is this normal?

I was threatning a miscarriage very early in the pregnancy. I started my next due period on time while being pregnant. I went to the OB the day it started and he did blood worked which showed my levels to be 28 and 2 days later i went back and that bloodwork showed the hcg levels a 21. They want to see me again to do more bloodwork and I am not sure why. Is it possible that my period being on could have messed with my levels? Or could I have miscarried during my period. And if this is the case, when is a good time to start trying again?

My son is a year and a half, I tried homoginized milk at 1 year and he took to it, except for the fact that it is much thinner than formula, it was not filling him up, which caused him to be up twice a night. So being a new parent thinking that he was not getting enough to eat I switched back to formula! Now I am trying desperately to get him back on to milk. Any suggestion as to how I would do this. I have heard from some that mixing is okay and then I have also heard that you are never to do this. Thanks

My Fiance and I are trying to have a baby since October. We use no protection and are sexually active just about everyday. On dec. 31, 06 i thought my period came(it would have been a week early) but it only lasted for half a day. Also it was only when i wiped. Jan. 6. 07 i got my period when it was supposed to but it was light. I would still use a tampon just in case but there would only be a little bit and it was brown. This lasted for 5 days when i am always 7. My periods are always regular, until now. I took a HPT just in case, a few days after my period stopped and it came out NEG. For a few weeks now I've been waking up feeling like I want to throw up, I can barely hold my urine anymore, i'm constantly using the bathroom but when i do go, its like i have to push it out and its only a few dripples. One night last week, I couldn't sleep b/c I had this pain around my left hip and a little below that, it felt like a stitch, and it was painful. I dont know whats going on in me! Help!

and selfish method of letting a baby "cry-it-out" ?
I consider it child abuse, ignorance and lazy parenting..

My Ultrasound tech has changed the due date twice, only by 2 days and then 4. What makes him change it, what is he looking at? weight, height, the size of the bone structure?

She's fine if I'm holding her but if I put her down she immediately starts bawling. I know she's only a week and six days but she just ... won't stop crying if I put her down. it's nearly impossible to get any sleep.

Lost a lot of weight during the first trimester and half of the second from being so sick, and then lost some recently because of stress and depression. Not trying to lose weight or stay at this weight, I know that's not healthy for the baby. Even if i gain a pound a week for the rest, i will still only just reach my original weight. (I am 33 weeks now). I haven't gained any weight, but i realize that the weight that I am now is still not all me, there's still all the other components to it like baby and placenta, etc... Like the information that i have below:
Where Does the Extra Weight Go?

Baby
8 pounds
Placenta
2-3 pounds
Amniotic fluid
2-3 pounds
Breast tissue
2-3 pounds
Blood supply
4 pounds
Fat stores for delivery and breastfeeding
5-9 pounds
Uterus increase
2-5 pounds
Total
25 to 35 pounds

Realistically, how much should i expect to lose for sure during the first 6 weeks? As in- what did you/people you know lose in the first weeks?

I saw someone had asked that question and was told no identical means just that it is identical. Yet when watching the discovery channel it stated that identical twins could be opposite sex because at conception there was an extra "X" chromosone and then they split apart and caused a set of identical opposite sex twins.
Yet at the same time this show also stated that it is beleived most left handed people are results of their mirror image twin vanishing during the preganancy.
Has anyone else ever heard that before?
I always considered prior to watching that show that identicals were same sex.

Hey, I have been under stress from college recently, so that could be the reason. But i have missed my period and i sort of feel naseated at times, but there is no vomiting. Should i start a new package of the pill tonight or not?
I am presently without a car as it is in the shop. I know i should test soon, but i was thinking of waiting until i missed another period. But im just really worried about taking the pill while being possibly pregnant. Any advice? Will it harm the baby if there is one?
