My nephew is 3 months old. All he does is wave his arms and legs around, laughing and sticking his tongue out. Why does he do this. Is he just getting used to his body or something (at least he's not crying!)

I was at a gymnastics meet and I broke my ankle. My b/f ended up carrying me to the trainer, but he felt bad b/c I was crying.
Why do guys hate to see girls cry??
Even his friend felt bad. He said he felt bad especially when I came out on crutches, and ended us with third place(out of 60)
He thought I did good but I told him I didn't think so.
Why does he think I did good when I think I did bad??
Why do all the guys get excited when a gymnast does a cool trick and go "oooooh" when she falls?? Don't they know it makes it worse??

I had a miscarriage last Thursday. I was about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant (did not need a D&C). I am absolutely devastated. I wanted this baby so badly. I just don't understand why this happened to me (or to so many good people in this world). I am a good person, eat very well, very healthy, don't drink/smoke, and exercise (in moderation). The physical pain of the miscarriage was great, but not in comparison to the emotional one. This was my first pregnancy. It is hard not to blame yourself or think that this is a punishment of some kind for something you've done. I will be so scared in my next pregnancy. I don't know if I could deal with this again. My doctor said I could wait until I get one period and try that month. I think the bleeding will stop today. But I read that sometimes you should wait 2-3 months. Which one is it? But most importantly, how did you get through this? Sorry for the long email, but I really need all the support I can get. Thank you.

The new law against spanking in California. Was it Anold that proposed bringing this into force?

If not who was it?

What limitations are there, or is it a complete ban?
What is the punishment for breaching this regulation?

I hv two daughters, my elder one can talk when she is only 7 mths old but her little sis is so slow and till now still refuse to talk. Although she is quiet but she is intelligent as whatever i taught her she learnt very fast infact her learning speed is better than her elder. Now the only words she can say is 'Ma' mean mother and immitate a few animal sounds but without opening her mouth or ask her example to say "elephant" she will Hmm..Hmm..hmm.. or "bird" she will say hmm like that. i mean she can hum the syallubas of the sound. She also can recongnise certain words already. So should I need to worry? should I let her see doctor or wait.

I am only 9 weeks so far, but there was only about 2 weeks that I wasn't feeling good. And all I was experiencing was light nausea (no vomiting) and being really tired. But now I don't even feel pregnant. Is that normal? Is anyone else having it pretty easy so far? I am just hoping that it doesn't mean anything is wrong.

My child will be celebrating her birthday this week, and I'm trying to think of a snack that we can bring into her preschool that's not too messy or sugary. Most kids bring in cookies, donut holes, cupcakes. If we brought stickers or coloring books instead of a snack, would that be so bad? There are 13 kids in the class. Thanks for any ideas!

A friend of mine is getting me a test and says the test will be able to determine if I am or not THIS early. I had unprotected sex the 18th and today is the 22nd. My period is due this weekend but I always have signs of my period, but haven't had any signs of my period at all. I've had cramps, but not in the right places, they are on my sides, mostly my left and are sharp. I've had a lot more discharge than normal. My real question is will taking the test this early determine if I am pregnant or not? And if I take one now, should I take another later in the game if I miss my period? All answers are appreciated. Thank you!!!

Both of my kids (8 month old and three year old) have been really sick with colds and ear infections for the past week and a half. My son has missed almost two weeks of preschool. Both kids are much better now and are sleeping at the moment. Should I wake them both up so that I can take my son to school this morning or let them both sleep and skip it again?

Ok, i know people ask this question frequently.. but i kinda just wanted my own answers from you.

I'm 14 almost 15 weeks pregnant.. and I am still not showing. I'm 5'5" and about.. 153 pounds. So, I'm not heavy and I'm not tiny.

When did you start showing.. or when is it more normal to start showing (this obviously being my first pregnancy)

Just wondering.

My son has a ear infection and the doctor wrote him out Omnicef (100ML bottle) and do you know how much i had to pay for it?

$202.00
Can you believe this and how is it pharmacies can charge this much when you know good and well that they don't give that much for it.

My friend just had her baby this morning, she was only a little over 27 weeks along. His breathing is fine, but he weighs only 2 pounds 6 oz. Does anyone have any advice I can give her? She is just so worried. She also doesn’t have anything for him, like a crib and stuff because her mother wanted her to hold off in case she lost him. (She has had miscarriages before.) I don't care what the advice is, just as long as it isn't mean. If anyone has been through this before, I would love to hear your stories too. Thanks in advance.

I live with my step-father only(dead bio parents).A year ago,when I was 13,I made something bad and my step-father was mad at me.He didnt punish or spank me.He raped me.It was the worst thing ever happened to me.I was sooo embarrased and I could tell anyone.When I found I was pregnant he didnt let me continue school.Locked me in my room and didnt let me use phone and computer.9 months later I gave birth(at home - he didnt let me go to hospital and we haven't neighbours who could hear my screaming) to my son.I had already forgiven him for the raping and he apologized.We kept the baby with me.3 months later(last week) he was mad again because the baby was crying.He raped me again and this time it was horrible.I feel like a doormat.He lets me use computer but no phone and Im locked in my room(I cant run from the window).I looked for online police or something but didnt find.If I call the police they will take me to orphanage and SEPARATE me and my son who I LOVE.What can I do?I'm 14

Is it normal for a guy to do this??
After my gymnastics meet I went to my b/f's house and we were watching tv. I ended up falling asleep in his arms and he placed his hand on my stomach.(it didn't wander too far) He knew I wasn't fully asleep otherwise he wouldn't have done it. Is it normal??
He is the first guy I have trusted since I was raped. My friend says this isn't normal. Is it??
My friend also says it is odd for a guy to put his arms around you and pick you up and spin you when he hasn't seen you in a while or when I win.
Is my friend seeing something I don't or is she paranoid??

Can someone please give me some direction? I just have 1.5 months of pregnancy but I need to start taking medical care and assistance. I don´t have a private insurance and I don´t have the money to pay private doctors and hospitals. Thank you very much for answering as soon as possible.

Hi,

My last period was December 9th 2006 and now being January 22nd 2007 I am really worried. I have done 4 Home Pregnancy Tests and all negative.

Even though I have:

Really sore breasts (they've changed shape and got bigger)
Going to the toilet more often
bloated tummy
Sick feelings in the evening
Feeling hot
Mood swings (crying over silly adverts on telly, cartoons etc).
Slight brown spotting (tinged discharge(that I never usually have)

I went to my Doctors last week and he said to give it 2 weeks until I go back for a Blood Test. Even though this is now only next week I really want some advice and reassurance.

I already have a daughter who is 7 and we have been trying for about 2 years for another.

Has this ever happened to anyone else and if so were they pregnant or what was their problem. I have heard that some women just dont show positive results until they are further gone.

Please help as this is starting to annoy me with the not knowing.

A bill was recently introduced in California that makes spanking your child a misdemeanor, punishable by 1 year in jail and up to $1000 fine. Do you agree or disagree? What are your thoughts about it?

My 3 year old is old enough to know how to wash herself. She is tall enough to reach the faucets and knows the right temperature to put the water on. She refuses to do this. She will walk around stank and nasty waiting for me to wash her stankin butt but I refuse to do it. She will entering preschool soon and needs to learn some responsibility of how to wash her own butt. Why should I have to bathe her? That is not my problem its hers.!!
