I am 31 weeks pregnant and I have dropped a little is this too soon? Everything I read says labor usually happens 2-4 weeks after you drop. Just a little nervous and wondering what happened to other people who dropped around this time?

My friend got her membranes scraped and is so uncomfortable that she has resorted to going to the store and getting castor oil. A friend said she should take 4 ounces but the back of the bottle says no 4 teaspoons! has anyone tried this before, and if so how much did you take

I have finally broken down and started using a Clearblue Easy ovulation predictor kit. Tonight I got 2 blue lines! I am excited, but curious to know if any other people have had good luck with conceiving after seeing the 2 lines.

Hubby and I don't particularly like the name Jacob, but we love the name Jake. Problem is, since Jake has only one syllable, it doesn't sound too great with the middle name we have in mind, which is Charles, a family name we'd really like to use.

Do you know of any names, other than Jacob, from which Jake is derived, and would match well with the middle name of Charles? Thanks!

My 3 and a half yr old daughter does not want to sleep by herself in her own bed. She crys when it is bed time, and when she does fall asleep, she wakes up every two to four hours. She tries to take a nap around 6pm on a nightly basis. But I do not let her because then she won't fall asleep until 1am, after the nap. I have tried everything from movies, to bathtime, and nightlights, nothing works. I used let her sleep with me every night, until recently. Now I cannot get her to make the separation. She is very attached, and now I don't know what to do.

She is being breastfed exclusively, around 7-8 times/24 hours. The middle of the night feeds are usually comfort sucking. I want to gradually introduce the bottle and wean her off the breast milk but whenever i give her the bottle she cries her lungs out and wants my breast. If i give the cup she will just drink just 10ml from it. I do not want that once i stop breast feeding, her milk intake will drop down considerably since she has very little from the cup. How can i sucessfully introduce the bottle?

I need to know if I am the only one... I have been worrying so bad this time around... This is my second pregnancy.. and with the first I worried a little, but this time I am more concerned and it isn't about a few things... It is about everything.... I worry about the baby being healthy, and I worry about early labor...(I have to have a c-section again) and I worry about every freaking pain and etc... It is driving me crazy!!! Please tell me that I am not the only one that worried worse after the first pregnancy!!! I dont drink, smoke, or do any drugs... and I only take tylenol maybe once a month if even that much... but I keep forgetting my prenantals.. ( I did with my first pregnancy too, but everything was fine..) but my blood work comes back fine.... ARRGGHHH!!!! I don't understand why I feel like this..... I do this everyday....

I've been thinking maybe one reason teenagers -normal ones- clash with their parents is because suddenly the parent isn't a god anymore.

Think about it. For the last ten years, you had all the answers. You could make it all go away with chocolate milk and a hug. Now, quite suddenly, you're an insufferable moron in your offspring's eyes. Not only that, but even on a good day, s/he honestly just doesn't need you as much. S/He can and will walk to school, for example. S/He can just go out to a movie, and doesn't need you to be there. S/He would honestly just rather go hang out with his/her friends than play catch or Monopoly with you.

My second theory is that it's also largely concern for romantic areas, as well as possibly a little defensiveness. Your kid is falling in love. You've been in love before, and you've been rejected. You see your kid moving in that place and you want to protect him. You also maybe see it as something of an invasion.

Is this a really popular name? My second child is named Connor, which ended up being one of the most popular names that year and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Is Landon too popular?

I'm trying to get some healthy ideas for feeding my two year old daughter. I'm not much of a cook and it seems all the "convienent" kid-friendly foods in the supermarket are so unhealthy (big suprise). I find myself feeding her a lot of the same things. I know she must be bored with her lunches. Just wondering if anyone knows some simple recipes that will give her some variety and are a little more nutritious.

So for I like Brooke, Sabrina, Ava, Jade - they're not especially unique but they're not too common. I can't stand Stephanie, Tiffany, Amber, John, Michael; uncreative, boring names we see EVERYWHERE. Any suggestions on male and female names?

My daughter is 6 weeks old and i am breastfeeding her. Im just wondering how many times a day should she be eating. She only wants to eat every 3-4 hours during the day and she goes about 8 hours without eating at night. When she was born she weighed 7lb 8 oz. and she is now 10 lb 4 oz so she is gaining weight fine but im still worried she is not eating often enough. Is 5-6 times a day ok???
