Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 February 2007

Last Monday, I started spotting, went to the Dr. and it stopped.
The doctor ordered an ultrasound the next day, wanted my cervix measured to make sure it wasn't thinning and I had an FFN (a test that checks for preterm labor). I wasn't spotting then.
The ultrasound showed the baby was okay and there was no internal bleeding.
My cervix looked normal and wasn't thinning or opening.
The FFN test said that I am not at risk for preterm labor.
The baby is moving as normal.
So why have I been spotting off and on since?
I'm not talking lots of blood. It's about a spot in the morning and then nothing else for hours or even a day.
I'm not sure what I should do.
I feel normal and the tests say I should I be okay.
Advice?

My 6 year old son is smart, strong, and confidant but when he's around his friends he doesn't always make the wisest decisions. The latest things have led to them playing with a kitchen firebottle that they found at a neighbooring house and having a hibachi grill in a little clubhouse that they have. He knows better than to play with both but he still did it. He has no problem telling us "no" and telling his brother "no" but he just can't seem to tell one of his friends "no." I know that it is peer pressure and we have tried everything from grounding him to the house/backyard or even from his friends but doesn't help. It is dificult forbiding him from his friends because we live in an area where there is only a few kids his age to play with and it is a tight-knit comunity. We have yet to figure out a solution to this as grounding always seems to change his attitude for a short time and then he's back to his regular behavior. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I am going crazy. The doctor says I'm dilated to 2cm and that my cervix is soft and ripe like a peach. what can i do to speed up the process of putting myself into labor? I tried castor oil like 3 weekd ago but i guess i wasn't ready because it didn't work. will it work now? what can i do, let me know.........

I had an epidural with my son because labour was slow and VERY painful. Once i had my epidural my contractions became more regular and things sped up as i was more relaxed. My total labour in hospital was 12 hours (although i had painful contractions 6 hours before getting to the hospital). My first midwife said it was likely that i would be able to have another epidural second time round (if i desperately need it!!) but my second midwife says that cos my first baby was big and this one is average that it is unlikely i will be able to get to the hospital in time as second labours tend to be a lot quicker.

I was wondering how many people have had epidurals with their first baby but not got to the hospital in time for subsequent labours???

By the way, some hospitals won't give epidurals if you are past 6 or 7 cm dilated, although this varies from hospital to hospital...

I have missed 2 periods and I have been regular since I started menstruating. Have alot of signs of pregnancy, sore breasts, nausea, gas, bloating, strange dreams, mood swings and I'm running to the bathroom every 2 hours. I took a hpt about 2 weeks ago, which was negative, and took a urine test at the doctor's 3 days ago. Could I be pregnant? Should I go back to the doctor and ask for a blood test? If I am not pregnant, can you think of anything that might me causing these symptoms?

I'm 23(working) and I live with my 13-year-old sister(parents passed a year ago).She is usually alone at home for the whole day if she is not at school or out with friends.Two days ago I found a condom in her wardrobe.I asked her kindly why does she have this condom and she told me she likes having sex when she is at parties(her older friends organise parties and invite her and they have sex there so does she).I explained her she shouldn't be abusing herself and doing something because her friend do and she told me she was having sex rarely and only with nice boys and only whe she wants to.She is mature for her age and we respect each-other and she always talks with me about problems.I want to explain her about drugs and other things which could happen at a party and make her have sex without her agreement.Where do I find information about drugs,sex,etc?
Don't offer me not to allow her to go or to punish her-we respect each other and this is her life.I want to help her with info.

As a single mom of a 12 year old son, where we live its extremely hot during the summer. To all you moms out there how do you feel about applying sunscreen and protecting your child in the sun?

Even if he is 12 when we go to the beaches, or swimming pools, it will be ME who will be slathering sunscreen on him because I think that If I do it my self, I will feel more satisfied and that my son will be protected much more.

I dont believe that "oh mommy is putting sunscreen on me" becasue its out jobs. I use 1 tablespoon of sunscreen per arm and 2 per leg and 4 for back and front, so I know he is protected.

what do you do to keep your children safe in the sun and at what age?
