Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 February 2007

Our 2 1/2 yr old boy screams when he has to get his hair cut. But trimming it at home , isnt the cure. How can we get him to sit still without using the computer like we do at home? I have even tried to sit him on my lap while he's getting it cut. Help !!!!!!!!!

In most cases, sanitation has taken care of the risk factors for many of these rare and many times,not fatal diseases.

But how heavily weighed are the side effects and odds of getting any number of permanent disability from so many vaccines introduced to infants at such an early age?

Are corporations really setting the standards and forcing the laws, being more of a case for money and not proven health benefits?

And where is there protection for the children for the hundreds of other diseases and conditions children can contract?
Where will it reach a point of ridiculous when hundreds of vaccines are forced on children before they enter school, effectively making the certain vaccines more likely a hazard than the uncertain illness?

today I threw up, I did nothing out of the ordinary although I am a bit more stressed over this conception thing. I take a prenatal every day and it has not made me sick before, I am not expecting my period for a week still. HELP

I have tried several different diapers for night-time with my 8 month old daughter. She wakes up every morning with her pajamas wet because the diaper leaked. The most recent was Huggies Supreme Gentle Care. I've also tried Pampers Swaddlers. Does anyone use a diaper that can withstand going 9-10 hours without leaking???

I'm 15 years old, and have to deal with an immature boy in 6 out of 9 of my classes. He steals my papers, unties my shoes, calls me ugly and fat ( when I'm not fat) and likes to just be plain annoying. He can sometimes be a normal human and have conversations. Sometimes he is even nice! I hate him when hes a jerk. Sometimes when I look around the classroom it looks like he is staring at me. Why would he? Joey says he tolerates me when he likes to make me miserable. I try ignoring him but he likes to be a pain. Are all boys this immature or just him?

My two and a half year old daughter has recently begun blinking her eyes about 3 weeks ago. We noticed that it was involuntary and thought that she might not be getting enough sleep but that is not the case. She blinks about 3-4 times every 5 min or so and its not normal blinking as the blink comes with an effort and the face also twiches a little.. The doctor says it could be allergy and gave some eye drops which didn't help - we are surely going back to the doc but did any of you face a situation like this and what did you do.. We are worried as the blinking/twitching has been increasing.. Pls advise, Thanks

I am a working mom of seven, the two eldest are away at school so we have five living at home-14,12,5,3&18months. All the kids are in bed by nine fifteen and I turn my 14yr old's light out at 9.45pm. He is always complaining that his bed time is too early but generally my husband and I are in bed by 10 or 10.30pm, I tell him I like to shut the whole house down before I go to bed. Aside from this he is a kid who really needs his sleep.
Both my 12&14yr old say its weird we go to bed so early and cliam it is just for sex(which makes me cringe although it is partly true). I am a working mom&he stays at home so we dont tend to get too much time to ourselves during the day.Is it weird that we are in bed this early?I am now pregnant with triplets so I really only go to bed to sleep as I am exhausted but in general, is it strange to want to go to bed with your husband so early.We are up at 6 and its go go go all day.How can I stop my kids' thinking of it the way they do?

I was just wondering about something. If you had three kids and they all turned out the same gender, would you rather have all sons or all daughters? I'm just wondering because I'm a female and the oldest of three girls and my mom always said she wished she had a boy, even though I tried my best to be a good kid.

My husband and I are trying to concieve, according to my calculations I ovulated yesterday and hopefully I get pregnant this month. My question is, if I did conceive is it safe to exercise, before implantation, and then after implantation, how hard can I safely work out? I normally exercise 3 to 4 times a week, so this is not like I am trying to get a new exercise routine going. I normally walk at 3 miles per hour for 1 mile then do some light weight lifting, in the arms, squats stuff like that. Can I safely continue working out in early pregnancy without risk of miscarriage. By the way this is the first month that my husband and I have actually tried to conceive and this will be our first child.

How soon would a test show you as positive? A few days? weeks? after you're period is due?
If I get a pregnancy testing kit when I can I do it to show a positive reading if I am pregnant?
Cheers.

I want something totally unique and original. Don't give me names like, Kaighlee and Megan or something like that. People often gives those as "Orignial and Unique" names, so their becoming more popular. I need something that isn't really used at all. Oh, and it has to be a girl name. Or it can be a name that works for both a boy and a girl. Thanks.
