Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 January 2007

Ok I am 11 weeks pregnant and had morning sickness since day one pretty much. Its horrible cuz it lasts all day and I have been admitted to the hospital for dehydration and tried everything to get rid of it. I just keep losing weight which isn't healthy cuz it means I don't eat. But nothing stays down. This is what I have tried: Sea Bands-Ginger-Vitamin B6-The ER doc gave me a prescription but it puts me to sleep I can't take that and work 40 hours a week! I've tried crackers toast nibbling food everything in the stinkin book. Nothin helps. My doc gave me a prescription for Zophryn but its really spending. Has anyone used it is it worth it?? Or does anyone have another idea?? I just want to be normal again. HELP

Some days she moves more than others, but the past 2 days she hasn't had as many movements and when she does, they are more suttle movements, not anything vigorous. Even after I eat a meal she doesn't seem to move a whole lot. Should I be concerned? Or is this normal towards the end of pregnancy since there is less room to move around?

For parents who both have jobs, what do you do with your kids, when they're not legally to stay home alone, and yet you can't take kids to work.( Hospital) What do you do then?

I don't have the actual numbers, as it varies, but on average people who rob a bank (without a weapon) spend much more time in prison than do child molesters and kidnappers. Do you remember the California case of Steven Stayner? The man kept Steven from the time he was 7 until he was 14. He also abducted Timmy. They were rescued after Timmy's abduction. The man accused of the crime only spent 5 years in jail. He's back in prison for trying to buy a 4 year old boy for $500 This tells me that our laws protect our money more than our children. Recently, Shawn Hornbeck was found in the apartment of Michael Devlin. Michael has been accused of abducting Shawn over 4 years ago. They found Shawn after Michael had kidnapped Ben Ownby. Authorities believe there have been other children abducted by Devlin -still missing Attorneys are currently working on the case. How long will he spend in jail? My answer -Not Long Enough!
Something needs to be done to get these predators off the street. Please do something about this problem. Use your emotions, your heart, and your voice to put these thoughts in the minds of others who are in position to change the law. Put sexual predators and abductors behind bars for life. What is more important to you? Money or Children?

even after I had my breakfast I still feel this funny feeling inside - I have no pressure and the baby is moving around but I was just wondering if anyone has ever felt this funny feeling so late in the pregnancy. At first I thought maybe that meant that the baby was hungry but I still feel it even after I ate - I know it is stupid, but I was just wondering.

My son will be 3 years old when his little brother or sister is born. We will also be moving into a new home a few months after the birth of the new baby, so I am a little worried how these big changes will affect him. Any suggestions on how to prepare him?

Everytime my kids go to visit their dad they come home with lice. He is living with his sister and father. Now his sister has a 3 yr old. He also has a 1 yr old from another woman. I have told him about this problem, but I get the impression that he doesn't get it. The school keeps sending my son home. I keep treating everyone and everything. I just don't know what to do. I am frustrated.

We are expecting our first baby, May 1, and we are choosing a crib. We have seen several models that convert to a toddler bed and then a full-size adult bed with headboard and footboard.

The drawback is that these convertible cribs do not have a "drop" side. In other words, the side of the drib does not move and cannot be raised or lowered to take the baby in and out. The saleswoman didn't think this was a problem, but I have no idea? There are three matress settings so the matress height on the crib is adjustable.

I like the idea of the convertible crib. Will it be hard to take baby in and out? what do you think?

PS we plan on using a basinette for the first three months anyway.

I live in texas and I have a 9 month old son with my Exbf. He did not sign the acknowledgement of paternity papers at the hospital so there for I am the legal guardian. We were going to make arrangements for him to keep him this past weekend but he could not stop and talk civil to me. All he was doing was calling me name and hanging up.No arrangements were set in stone. He ended up calling the police on me and telling them I was keping his son from him. The police and him came over to my house and I was scared out of my mind. I am the legal guardian and I wanted him off my property so the police had him leave and explained with out a court order I dont have to give him the child. (its not that I didnt want him to see him, his tone and the names he called me scared me) I have started the process for child support but have decided to retain a lawyer given the circumstances. I dont have my appointment till 1/30 though. I am so scared of what he will do in the mean time. Any advice???

Okay, my mom and I always get into fights about what I am allowed to do and what I'm not allowed to do.

I am 14 years old. Please tell me if its just me or if she is over protective.

1. If I want a cell phone, I have to pay for it and the bills.
2. I have to be homeschooled through highschool, which I DO NOT want to be.
3. I'm not allowed to go to a sleepaway camp for one week with my good friend because it's 6 hrs away. (Its a christian camp. My friend has been going there for 3 years)
4. My mom has to read the lyrics to every song I download. An example of a song that I'm not allowed to listen to "Sk8r Boi" by Avril Lavinge because there is a part in the song when it mentions a girl wanting a guy or something.
5. I'm not allowd to watch and PG-13 movie, any awards show or American Idol.

I'm feeling really pent up inside. One day I'm just going to snap. Please tell me if I'm over reacting!

I want a 3rd child, my fiance wants to wait about 4 years. I really don't like the idea of having a huge gap in age with my 3rd. I'm not on any form of birth control (I want to be pregnant) but he insists on the pull out method to avoid pregnancy. A few months ago I thought I was pregnant and so I told him, he wasn't upset, nor was he jumping up and down with excitement but he was happy. So my question is this: What are my chances of becoming pregnant by manually inserting his semen (around the time of ovulation) while he runs to grab a towel? I know its bizzare but real answers only please! Any other suggestions to become pregnant?
