Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 February 2007

I' am 37 weeks and will be 38 on the the 7th
I know this sounds funny but thats my grandpas b-day (10) my brothers (9) and I would like them to share the same b-day. On thursday (the 1st) I was 1cm dilated and I would like to know what can I do at home that you have tried and it works to help me dilate more or for my contractions to be stronger and closer then what they are. This is my first and the first son in my family (expect for cousions baby).

I have 6 months old baby daughter, and I would like to know whether you use boiled tap water (or filtered tap water) or bottled water for your baby. So far, my husband and I have decided to use bottled water for our baby. Thanks!

I have a question.
Alright,
I am 17 years old
and on Friday evening I was hanging out with who I thought was my friend, and we would always spend the night at my house with a few other friends, well this night at 3am he decides he wants to have sex and he attempts to do so i did not realize that he was actually going to do so. He knew I was not on birth control nor did he use a condom and no im not stupid i know thats bad. Im not on birth control because i havent had sex with anyone until this happend. He did this for under 5 minutes, I stopped it. I am still very afraid that i might somehow be pregnant so saturday night i went and got the day after pill just in case "plan b" took the doses as i was suppose to one a 10pm and the other at 10am 12 hours apart as said. I took the pill within 24 hours when it said you have up to 72 hours to do so. I am still going to take a pregnancy test because I am very nervous still. I know this is all crazy do you think I am going to be alright??

What names that you liked as a kid do you still like? Would you ever use any? How many people have been keeping a name list for a very long time? How long? Do you frequently find yourself crossing some of the top ones off because your tastes have changed?

Sorry to ask so many questions in one. I'm just curious.

I have a 9 year old at school who doesn't stop eating, and a 5 year old about to start who eats like a bird. School lunches will be tricky. What do your kids take?

It's already been a month since the baby was born, but my nephew doesn't seem to adapt. He's unbearable at home, pushes his parents to their limits, and has stopped working at school. Any advice, other than what she's been told already (reassure him that you still love him, and involve him with taking care of the baby - she's been doing it but with no results)?

I had my period from the 17-19th, and it was light, meaning I didn't need tampons, just pantiliners. BUT it wasn't really really light; it was still noticeable and seemed like a period. It was brown. Can you tell the difference? If I bled then and now I am having symptoms, does that match up with the time line? What I mean to say is, is it possible to have symptoms this soon?

As of right now, my daughter has three meals each day. She gets breakfast around 7am, lunch around noon, and dinner around 5. She eats all table food or Gerber Graduates if we are eating something not appropirate for a baby. She gets her drinks (water, diluted juice, or milk) from sippy cups with her meals and does great.
She gets two 8oz bottles during the day as snacks. one around 10 and the other around 2:30. Then she has an 8oz bottle at 7:30pm and goes to bed at 8.
My question is how exactly do I cut back on bottles from here? Her doc already allows her to have whole milk, which she usually just has with dinner. So do I eliminate one bottle completley and replace it with a snack/milk sippy? Or cut both bottles down to 4oz and give small snacks with each? And when should her daytime bottles be replaced with sippy cups?
I am okay with her night bottle and have decided that will be the last to go, but what about the others?

A lot of my friends' doctors told them to switch to instant formula from the powder because if you mixed the powder form incoreectly (too thick or two thin) it can cause babies to have trouble with their bowel movements. Regardless of the price or how each works out for your usage, which do you perfer with it being safer on the baby's stomach?

My baby started using a pacifier when she was 4 months old. Now she is 11 months old. I know that if its used for a long time then it will mess up the teeth. But what about when they use it when they are under 1. Does it still have any effects? Another bad thing that ive done that i didnt know about was that i SHOULDN'T leave the pacifier in her mouth while she sleeps. usually when she takes naps i jus let her leave it in her mouth. Sometimes ut stays on for 30 min. I feel bad that i didnt know. Will it make her baby teeth grow out Bad?

I had a light period on January 17-19th. In the past couple of weeks, I've been really tired and in the last couple of days I've been having cramping feelings and a sore lower back (it feels like I'm going to get my period!), but my period isn't due for another week and a half. I guess I should also mention that last month I forgot to take about 4 of my pills, and so I ended up taking two per day a few times. Do you think I need to take a test or not? How likely is it that I am pregnant considering that I'm on birth control pills?

Ever since my baby started teething, she wakes up like every 2 hours of the night. She use to sleep through the night. Now everytime she waked up she wont go back to sleep unless i give her a bottle to drink. She wont even take her pacifier. Only A bottle will make her fall asleep. So now shes already in the bad habit of needing a bottle to sleep. What do i do to break her off it? Will this make her teeth go bad?

I've been on the pill for about a year and recently I had a very random premonition that I was going to have a baby within the year. It was fleeting and left me feeling very upset and confused. Since then I realized I've missed about 5 pills, ( i dropped two (they rolled and couldnt find them) and forgot to take three- then I remembered that if you miss more than one? or two? you are supposed to start the pack over or something?) idk. I just ended my period before I missed those pills so will I have to wait until the end of the month to determine if I'm pregnant? Should I continue to take my remaining pills in hopes that they will work? I *am* sexually active with my boyfriend of over five years, and I havent yet told him about the premonition or the fact that I've missed pills because I dont want to worry him for nothing. I don't *feel* pregnant but I dont really know what to think. I'm definately stressed. Can anyone answer my questions? Thank you in advance!

Our 12yr old daughter thinks we hate her and wants to run away. All because we took her stuffed dog away for a day or less. she was told to leave her stuff in her room while she watched TV in the living room.

now we "are mean and we hate her." all this because we took her toy away. every time we tell her NOT to do something and she does it anyways,...she is shocked when she gets in trouble. we are not overly stricked. however we expect her to do as she is told and except the trouble she gets in if she chooses to ignor us.

now we "dont care about her." she is always freaking out about everything. everything is a tragity and she acts like she will fall down and die from it all.

nothing is ever good enough. no matter what we do for her...theres always something else she wants.
