Pregnancy & Parenting - 31 January 2007

I am 39 weeks pregnant and I am off work right now. My husband and I both worked full time shared the household chores before I got pregnant. Since the later months of my pregnancy I have had a hard time doing the chores that I did before. Not always but sometimes my back gets really sore when I do certain chores. Sometimes standing in the kitchen cooking for too long hurts my back too. Is it unfair to ask my husband to do more chores to help me while I am pregnant?
After I have the baby should I be expected to keep up with the same chore load as before?

Lillian Rae or Lilliana Rae?
Yes, the middle name must be Rae for both. It's important to the story. Like my last name thread, could you rate them each from 1-10.

How would you respond to a man in his mid-twenties who insists he has "no relationship" with a girlfriend of a few years who he recently impregnated?

The two broke things off primarily because she would not abort the child.

Do you believe that he ought to feel obligation to such a woman and her child beyond paying child support and a few brief visits per year?

Do you believe he should consider such a woman a part of his family?

What degree of respect, if any, does she deserve despite going against his wishes?

AF isn't due for another week and a half but I'm having symptoms of pregnancy.. sick to my stomach, heightened senses, tender breasts, ect. When I look at the ovulation calander it tells me I didn't ovulate until the END of Jan. yet I haven't had sex during the estimated ovulation date nor during the month before. Basically, my question is, is it possible that I'm pregnant even though I have normal cycles and didn't have sex during my "ovulation days"?

According to the World Health Organization, mothers should breastfeed their children until they are 2 years of age. Obviously this isn't possible for all couples (painful breastfeeding, adoption etc), but are North American couples wrong for stopping breastfeeding earlier for convenience (to go back to work, because it is hard to work around the schedule etc)? I am not asking this for personal reasons, just more curiousity, because up until recently, I thought you were supposed to wean your child at 9 months - 12 months. (see links: http://www.kathydettwyler.org/detwean.html , http://www.lalecheleague.org/ )

My little one is fine but I want to be prepared.

How high should the fever be before you bring them to the ER for immediate observation?

Can anyone explain the rotating of motrin to tylenol? Its every 4 hrs for tylenol and every 8 for motrin? If you give them motrin its a long time before you can rotate.

Thanks

I've always heard that more births happen on a full moon. My cousin was early 9 days on January 1st and she delivered her son. It was a full moon. I'm due on Feb 18, due to be induced on the 14th, but scared I won't make it past this weekend because it is going to be a full moon. I'm actually ready to have the baby, but scared I'll have to go in on the weekend and use an alternate doctor. Had a bad experience for my first pregnancy with an alternate.

What are your thoughts about the moon and delivery? Has this happened to you?
