my son....no matter what will not take any meds....if i try and give it to him....he will throw up....if i manage to get a little bit in him....he throws up

right now he has a sinus infection....and i got some antibiotics...liquid kind....and i cannot what-so-ever get him to take it....he just throws up

i have tried to mix it in drinks....jello...tried to get him to chase it with his fav drink....nothing will work....he needs this stuff and i am just getting more stressed out just trying to convince him that he needs it....

i feel like i have tried everything....but someone out there must have a secret...please share that secret with me....

I heard that abdominal pain is ok but I dont know the pain I have is ok. last week it did not go away at all. but this week it comes and goes. Now the thing that worries me is that it hurts in one side way more than the other side is that normal? and I think it is to early to have pain because the baby has not even grown that much yet..
Please I would like to read your answers
thank you

I have 4 boys all by c-section..thats alot I know. I havent (thank god) havent had any complications or problems with any of them. We are planning to have another baby. We want a baby girl to complete the family. I am just curious to see how many c-sections one women can have because the doctor doesnt recomend more than 3...I am well past that number. Ive heard stories of women having 7 c-sections. I am going to have another one when we manage to concieve again (just coming off the shot) Thank you all for your information and advice!

That is the only name that my husband wants to name our son. He really won't budge on it. He said for short we can call him Van (makes me think of Van Wilder) I think it's kind of cute, but not sure, plus I don't think I can change his mind. The middle name will probably be Lee. Thanks!

child had disabilites, i see that there are sooo many different views personally i basically said hell no i would love my child no matter what, i go quite a few thumbs up and almost just as many thumbs down, for those of you with the thumbs down tell me your views and why you would consider abortion. i'm very interested in this now.

I bought her the Nuby sippy cup. She loves it, and drink as much as she would out of a bottle. She takes it at night time too. Is this bad?

I have two sisters who have recently given birth and they said they had their sonograms at 20 weeks, is it abnormal for my doctor to not give me one

Will a doctor/midwife only preform this if the woman is overdue? I'm 38 weeks and have been in labor off and on for two weeks now. I'm dialted to 2 centimeters and 50% effaced. My son is doing fine and I can only complain about things that are normal discomforts at this time in my pregnancy. I have an appoitment in two hours to see my midwife and I know there's a chance of her asking me if I'd like to be stripped. Does it hurt? Can there be complications if this is done since I am positive to group b sterp? Thanks for the answers in advance.

im 7 months pregnant and i was wondering when is the best time to have a babyshower

2007-02-08 04:09:19 · 11 answers · asked by Whitney H 1 in Pregnancy

'Ideal' here is:

-- all cotton
-- long enough to cover the hideous tops of maternity trousers. For heavens' sakes, manufacturers...
-- available in a variety of tasteful colours
-- available in a variety of sleeve lengths; I don't like ultra-short, too
-- not low-necked

In a perfect world, this item is available in, or shipped to, Canada, but -- if it's worth it, I can have a friend or relative in the US, possibly UK, forward a parcel on to me.

Ones I've found at Motherhood are annoyingly spandexed & v-necked; ones I've found at Thyme, not bad, but too short; they're going to be pretty unattractive when I'm larger. One from the Gap is too styled, so to speak; I want plain...

Had the irritation of being in a Wal-Mart last night; saw an extremely pregnant woman there in a too-short, too-tight maternity t-shirt, and thought "Yikes. Yuk. I don't want that to be me," so I'd like to get on this. Help! If you have a decent t-shirt, give me a description and store name!

i am planning to change my son's last name on his birth certificate, since his father left us already, and my son was using his last name though we're not married. i will not include him anymore and would like to declare as to an unknown father. is this a right thing to do? would it affect my son if ever he grows up without knowing the name of his father?

This question is for the moms ..will be..newly or have had more than one child. I have not actually taken a test yet. Im only a week and two days late. I heard its best to wait 3 weeks to make sure you don’t get a false negative. Anywho my question is did any of you woman have symptoms that told you ..you were pregnant before you took the test. A few of mine is really bad gas (sorry if that was too much info) Using the bathroom at least once an hour..hard for me to go number 2( didn’t want to go into to much detail) stomach pain feel like cramps but no period, and im having some other female discharge once again sorry..oh and bloted..But not sick to my stomach or feel like im going to throw up I heard that’s a man symptom but I don’t have that. I know sometime woman say there minds play tricks on them and it just period symptoms that are mistaken as pregnancy symptoms. But if anyone could help and give me some advise I would appreciate even if its just a list of some of your symptoms and when I should take a home test. Thanks in advance

Do you believe in abortion? I have mixed views on it.
I am overweight, poor, and have an 8 year old son. I am now 1 1/2 months pregnant. We are not yet married. Can't afford much at all right now. I do want a kid with my fiancee, but wasnt planning it until later on down the road. I do not want to make the wrong decision....can anyone relate to me, and please give some advice......I am scared, and do not want to make the wrong decision!

He eats what ever I give him to eat and it seems as though he does not get full. I try to make him stop but he just gets mad at me. I try to feed him 3 times a day but that want work because he comes to me and tell me he's ready to eat or he's hungry. So I give him carrots and bannans, basiclly a lot of fruits and vegetables but he still always wants to eat. As long as I let him he will and it's not like he sits and eats he has to hurry up and finish eating to try to get more. I really don't understand and it makes me upset sometimes because I hate going places where there will be food because I know as long as it there he is going to want to eat so I'm always telling him no or taking him snacks so that he can be satisfied but when it's all gone it's back to "no you can't have anything else and don't ask". He will ask a stranger for there food, I mean people I have never seen before if they are eating he wants some I really don't understand.

I was wondering about this implantation cramp alot of you are saying. Now does this hurt or is it just like the cramps a woman would get when her period is coming?

Now I have also seen people use this TTC what does it mean?
