I have 2 sons, 4 & 2. My 4yo is good kid & was an easy baby, slept all night, never cried, etc. Then came baby #2. He never slept longer than 2-3 hrs & when he woke up he would scream at the top of his lungs (every single night for 18 months straight). He was so loud my neighbor commented on it, so I developed a bad habit of rushing in to soothe him back to sleep. Now at 2yo, he has terrible tantrums - he hurts himself, his brother, other kids at daycare. I tried ignoring him, but he wouldn't stop. He can yell for hours! I thought b/c he's speech delayed that maybe he was frustrated. I thought maybe he was partially deaf, but the hearing test was fine. It's starting to affect my relationship with my husband - our sanity is slipping and our patience is completely gone. I can really use some advice from other parents that have gone through this before. What did you do that worked for your family? Thanks!

We are driving 2000 miles next week with our 1yr. old son. Any advice on keeping him happy?? YIKES! We have a DVD player to play some Elmo and other videos for him. We'll try to stop every couple hours and keep our hours down to 6-8/day. Any other advice from road trip experienced parents? THANKS!

Everytime I eat I feel nauseous afterwards. I've been having unprotected sex for about a month now. It's almost time for my period so I'm very curious to see how that comes about.


So could I be pregnant, and could that cause me to feel sick after I eat?

Have any of you ever had this happen? Was it the same as your period? Is it normal to have a little bit of clotting? How long does it last? Serious answers please! I need some advice or past experiences!!!

He's roughly 36 lbs and a little over 3 ft and he's recently learned how to unbuckle the chest buckle in his car seat. And when he wears a bulky coat he can barely fit in there. However he occasionaly undoes the seat belt buckle that straps the car seat to the car (just to annoy me), he knows its not safe to unbuckle when the car's movin. His brother (3 1/2) went into a booster at 3 (they're about the same size). Would it be ok to have a 2 year old in one?

My 5 year old has had a very hard first year at school!
When school first started he didn't want to go and it took us about 3 months to get him to love going and then in December his teacher resigned. The school had his teachers aid take over until they hired a new teacher. Well my son doesn't know if he likes this new teacher and I have my own problems with her too. (I do not to talk about it in front of my son)I will try to talk to her about how my son is doing in school and she will just walk away without even saying a hello. Or if my son is throwing a fit in the hallway before school she won't come out and help me talk to him and calm him down. She's NEVER smiling or laughing with the children in her class. The teachers aid use to help out alot and was always smiling and playing with the children and now the teachers aid has been replaced and that was the one reasons why my son was wanting to go. and now he has a bully in the classroom and he's scared to go to school now. He wants to go to a new school.
Has anyone gone through this before? Please I need any ideas on how to handle this!

I am 41 and 6/7 weeks pregnant... so tomorrow will be 42 weeks pregnant. I am beyond frustrated. had my stress test, had an ultrasound because they are afraid the baby is getting too big..well isn't that just a sherlock holmes moment. Two weeks ago monday, the baby weighed 8 lbs 10 oz, by their best guess. My induction is scheduled to "start" on Feb. 5th and be completed on the 6th. I know that baby gains approximately 1/2 lb or more per week at the end. So that being said, what are the chances that I could still deliver this child vaginally if he starts to hit upwards of 10-11 lbs. My two previous were 9lbs 4oz and 8lbs 3oz. both 41 weeks overdue. I am afraid that they have screwed around for so long that i will end up with a c-section.
Any thoughts or comments or anything at this point is welcomed. And i'm looking to hear that moms have delivered babies that were over the 10 lb. mark. Thanks so much ladies.

I've always been scared about having a miscarriage and I cant figure out why. I think I watch too many tv shows with bad stuff to say and that may be what scares me. I am 27 weeks now, I feel baby move ALOT, my doctor says he is just fine. But......the scared feelings in my mind make me still alittle scared. If he was born now- what are his chances of surviving at 27 weeks? Also am I in the clearing for miscarriage or a stillborn baby? That scares me too. Please help me try to learn more about where I sit (safe wise) at 27 weeks.
