Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 January 2007

Hello all!! My daughter is 2 yrs old and she gets sick alot. She once had an upper respiratory infection. Well everytime she gets sick, she gets ear infections. I mean I just took her to the doctors 2wks ago and they prescribed her antiobiotics for an ear infection. We live in Florida so the weather is very ify. Some days its 70 degrees and some days its 45 to 50 degrees. Well guess what she is sick again and complaining about her ear.

To get to the point, does anyone recommend the plugs to prevent ear infections? I dont know the medical terminology!!!

Well we've all heard that giving birth is extremely painful. But I was wondering if having the second baby is more painful than having the first. Like for example, when you get a shot, it's better be relaxed than to clench your muscles and teeth because then the needle will have a harder time going through you skin (well that's what I've heard). Is it the same in this case? You've already experienced how horribly painful it was the first time, will you spend months dreading the second? Or will the baby come out quicker than the first (I heard that a lot also).

My middle son turned four in October. I have noticed that the older he gets, the worse his behavior gets. He is also VERY restless. I can't get him to sit still for two-seconds. He also won't stay on task. He is constantly getting into trouble at school. At home, he is always wide open. I would guess that could all be explained away as a typical four-year-old. However, he is also always fidgiting. He is picking at his nails, he constantly picks the plastic tips off of his shoe laces, he picks at the designs on his shirts, he picks at bug bites/cuts/scabs/etc. He is a picker! Would that be considered a symptom? I don't want to take him to the doctor to get on some type of treatment if that isn't what this is. Also, if this is ADD/ADHD, are there any alternatives to treatment? I have heard about using St. John's Wort? Any ideas?

Hello everybody =)

I was due on January 19th but still no baby! I know that it is common to go to 42 weeks, especially with a first baby, but my Dr. offered to induce me on January 30th, so I gladly accepted!

I have to go in Monday at 4 pm to have medication applied to my cervix to soften it (since I am not dilated at all!!), then I will be induced on Tuesday morning.

Has anybody else gone through this? What can I expect?
I am a first timer and very nervous! I just want to be as prepared as possible. Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance! =)

My friend called me at around 5 in the morning, crying. She was telling me that she was scared of coming out pregnant. Being under ecstasy... She didnt really bother to think of protection, just the urge of pleasure. Now she said that.. She took a whole pill, had sex and then took half of another pill.
It just made me wonder... Contraceptive pills prevents unwanted pregnancy. Now I know that when you're pregnant if can affect the baby, any drugs can..... but she isnt pregnant. Can ecstasy, just ecstasy itself... In her condition... Can she still come out pregnant?

To all the mothers out there: In the early stages of pregnancy, did you feel light cramping and fluttering? I am about 5 days late with my period, and I have been feeling this for the last few days.

Also, is there a certain time of day that is best when using a hpt? (i.e. early in the morning??)

(I am posting this again because I didn't get many answers last time).

I am 32 weeks pregnant and smelled the smell for about ten min before leaving she used it in her bathroom which was up stairs and I was down. DO you think it could harm the baby?

have you read the story on the front page of yahoo yet?? this poor couple cant afford to bring their child into this world. I know they should've been more thoughtful about their money before they had kids but don't you think it's morally wrong to keep your child in the hospital because you can't afford to pay for the delivery right away. and what do you think would happen if the couple couldn't afford to pay it in the end?? any insight is greatly appreciated.

People say rude comments like "then don't open your legs"
Why degrade a person because they just don't know. That is why the general population is too embarrassed to ask anything, because of arrogant people like that. !!!!!!!!!

im so annoyed i put in a leave for absence for june for 3 days so my son can see his relatives in wales. they turned it down because he only has 58% atendance. now im not one of these mums who cant be bothered to send their child to school, he is honestly not well when he has days off. i mean hes just come back from3 weeks off due to a hospital stay. he always has some sort of cough, tummy ache etc etc. i have never taken him out for a holiday or anything, and he is only four he's five in may. whats the law on the age they must be in school by. am i within my rights to take him out or do i really need their permisison. underatnd they fine people for taking their kids out of school all the time but this is ridiculous. its 3days that he was looking forward to. The only way he gets to go now is if he had a 100% attendance until easter, which is unlikly to happen. They're own school rule is if you child is ill in the night keep them at home the next day! anyone any advice on where i stand

My 15 month old son shakes his arms and legs and stares blankly, the shaking can last up to a couple of minutes and the staring longer. He does the shaking worse when he first wakes up from sleeping and when he gets excited. Plus he startles EASILY! Also he has very mottled skin and seems to always have cold hands and feet...what does this mean?

I have an issue with this kid in my sons daycare he is 9 years old an my little boy is 7. This 9 year old boy went up to my son saying he thinks strippers are hot and telling my 7 year old what a blwjob is and how good it feels. My 7 year old was devistated and Ive talked to the child care teacher and says they had a talk with the kid but yet he still continued to talk filth to my son and even told my son he wants to lick his mom. Where does a 9 year old leanr this and should I report this to child protective services? I have removed my child out of that day care ( it was during the winter break) but it seems everything this 9 year old has said to him really has him botherd what would you do as a parent who had to deal with something like this???

I'm 9 weeks postpartum with my second child, I stopped having lochia 6 weeks ago so I know this is my period. After my first child was born my cramps nearly disappeared and my periods were much shorter. A couple days ago I started having debilitating cramps, my period started yesterday and is really heavy (I went through 3 pads just overnight). Has anyone else experienced their period changing so dramatically after childbirth, and did it return to normal? Oh, and my birth was a second c-section.
