I'm thinking it would be fun for my daughter to have a tea party at our home, but I don't know the first thing about putting it together...any ideas to make it fun? My daughter is six, and her friends would all be in the same age range. It's a 'just because' party....

I was confirmed/diagnosed with pcos last week by the doctor office. They called over the phone and gave me my results...So, then we set up a appointment for today "tues"...My question was for other patients who have been diagnosed with this...DID you get put on meds right away or do you have to wait...I don't just mean fertility drugs either...I hear alot of people go on metformin for weight, help wit insulin, slow of hair growth.....then people usualy take clomind wit it...anyways so i was wondering when you went back to the doctor did you get meds right away to help wit the other parts besides the fertility right away or is there more steps to go through...any advice or help would be great...yes i go to the doctor in three hours....but i can't wait!

thanks

We have a 3 year old toddler who has been diagnosed with ADHD, although, technically, he is too young to be actually diagnosed yet. Our mental health professional stated we should try an 8 week behavioral program, and then if that fails, then we will go ahead and have the testing done so that we can try a low dose of medication to try to control him. The three year old has severe issues with defiance, hyperactivity, and focusing. He was kicked out of his first daycare (pre-school) within the first six hours, and told he was never allowed back. He is very hyper and will run in circles, do backflips off the couch, run into doors...etc. He also has excessive talking and constantly repeats himself. Has the appearance as if his mind is going 90mph. He can't even sit through a meal for more then 2 minutes without jumping off the chair and running around. Has not responded to any type of discipline, time-outs, corporal punishment, negative and positive reinforcement. What to do???????

It was suggested to me to help my 3 month old soften her stools a little bit. She is not constipated just has firmer stools. If so how much did you give and how old were your kids when you used it?

I have all my days and stuff out of wack and its another 2 weeks before my first DR appointment. They said they are just gathering my paperwork so I do not think they will do a doppler on me

My question is for 2nd pregnancy ladies, how long did it take for you to start feeling unusually tired, have lower back pain, start feeling cravings and get hungry all the time?

How far along were you?

This is my first pregnancy, and my first Dr. visit is today at 1:30pm. I've never had a pap smear before, and so I know they will do one today.
Is there any other woman out there who never had one until pregnant? If so, how do u deal with that? I'm very shy about anyone doing things like that.

I'm a bit concerned, that my little Girl eats too much for her age.
She is NOT fat at all, but I'm worried that if she carries on eating as much as she does we will have a problem on our hands.
This is what shes had so far today (It's 4.30pm)

BREAKFAST- A bowl of cereal, 1 Apple
SNACK (at school) fruit.
LUNCH- 3 Fishfingers, 2 Boiled Potatos, Broccoli

SNACKS-
Hoummus on 1 toast, Nutri grain bar, 1 pear, 5 (small chocolate) mini eggs.

For Dinner she will have Tuna Pasta, Ice cream for pudding.

She is very active, cycles her bike wherever we go, but is CONSTANTLY telling me she's hungry. (She doesn't have worms!!) Am I feeding her too much?

Hi,
I am 14 weeks pregnant this week and since 5 weeks into my pregnancy I have been suffering from bleeding, The bleeding is not continual but has happened 4 times now.
The first 3 times it happened it was as a brownish red discharge but the 4th time it was very heavy like a full blown period.

I have been to the Dr one one occasion and found her really rude, she commented that she doubted she would be able to hear the heartbeat as there was ' a lot of me' (I am size 20). The heart beat was found and was strong

On the other 3 times I have been to the hospital and had scans which have shown that baby seems to be oblivios to all the goings on.

I have asked time and again what could be causing this but I have been told each time that it is something that happens.

I am sick with worry and I dread going to the toilet and seeing more blood. I have tried over and over again to get help but no one seems to be willing to do anything more for me what do I do now?

I am 20 weeks pregnant, this is my first pregnancy to make it this far, I have 2 step daughters who are very excited and can't wait to feel the baby move, when can I expect this to happen. I am overweight does this effect the timing.
