I am currently living outside the country and would like to find Mr yuk stickers or some sort of poison stickers appropriate for a 3 and 2 year old. I have an american mailing address if that helps any.

My son is about a week to week and a half overdue. There are concerns in that he is getting fairly large. While they can't be exact we are looking to be approaching at least the 10 lb mark. I am very apprehensive about having a c-section. I have done my research but that has done nothing to alleviate the fear.
Which in the healing process would be more agonizing, the recovery from the delivery of a 10lb or more baby, or the c-section? Could some moms just share a little about their c-sections please?

This is not my first child, this is my third child and my first son was 9lbs 4 oz. But like they say you forget all the misery and only remember the joy. Thank you in advance.

If my blood test is normal, what could be wrong with me, I feel dizzy even when sitting down.

My daughter is 2 years old. Very stubborn. Her last nanny had to leave to become a sangoma and in her absence I have employed her daughter. My daughter is not entirely familiar with this new nanny and refuses to get along with her. She screams and pulls at me. Bath time is a crying game. I can't handle it. I am pregnant again and am having a tough time doing everything around the house. I can't bend anymore hence the nanny baths her. I gave the nanny instruction to just play with her more. But this is too difficult to get across. I am so frustrated, since it is already week three and no improvement.

The scanning report of my 32 week old fetus shows that the respiratory organs, cardiac, lungs, etc are normal. But doctor says it could be delivered at any moment by c-section due to certain complications in the uterus. There is a chance for it to reduce its weight.

At present the baby is 1000 gms, that is 1 Kg ( 2.2 Lbs). Will they place the baby in the incubator or ventilator ? ( I just want to know).

Please provide answers only if u know something about it. Tks a lot in advance.

My daughter is almost 5 months old and is still waking in the night for food. She's on 2 solids and one bottle a day, along with breastmilk. She has been through the night twice recently but won't do it now. We've tried letting her cry, comforting her, giving her water to put her off waking; it seems like we've tried everything but nothing will work.

hi, im new on here and would like some advice. My husband and i have been trying for a baby for a couple of months now and my periods since i came off the pill have been regular. I am now 4 days late and i took a test before i was due as i am very impatient and also i have taken 3 more tests which have all been negative but im not sure of the quality of these tests as someone got them from their place of work for me. Anyone have any knowledge of clearview tests? and how early they can be used? Anyway surely if i was pregnant it would be showing positive by now, wouldnt it?

I just found out that my baby is going to be another girl. My first daughters name is Tabitha Mae. What should the 2nd one be? We really like Marie or Maria as the middle name, so something that goes with either of those.

Umm, my little four month old girl, does at times put her hand to her ear( the right one) but doesn't seem to be in any pain- well as far as I can tell, she seems normal, she does get a redness in there (just on the outside of the hole) is this related to teething or do they get red when it flaps over sometimes.

How does this process work?

Finallly tested positive after numerous tests. Go to GP today only to be told that because I came off the pill it is too early to be sure. I'm confused now cos I think I am overdue by 3 days and many tests are very sensitive. Now I have to buy yet another test and go back in a week if it's still positive. I had major complications with my last child and this is very stressful.
Anyone else had similar experiences?

I never thought my son would be a whiner, but for the past 4 months, he is constantly whining about everything. He whines if he dont get his way, he whines if his little cousin is bothering him, he whines and gets mad if he is drinking a sippy cup and no juice is coming out of it.
I was hoping this whining and temper would wear off but he is still doing it. I know they go through different stages where thats all they do but it seems like my son is constantly doing that unless he is entertained by something or watching tv. Anyone have any advice please!!!??
