She drinks milk and juice just fine in a sippie cup. She will not drink water. Side note: Is water such as Propel ok for a toddler? (Maybe the flavor will get her to drink some water???)

I was wondering how a woman who gives birth who still has a long time to serve find adoptive parents for her baby.That is if she dosent have family to take the baby.Would social service in that county just come and take the baby or does the mother have the ablity to choose adoptive parents just as with outher adoptions.Is this diffrent or regulated the same?

I even went to a walk in clinic and she did a pregnancy test and it was negative, and i told her everything.. and she examined me down there.

I have read the milestone charts for two years. They say that my son who just turned two should be dressing and undressing himself. Using the potty,Draws a vertical line Draws a circle, washing his own hair. come on
Oh and my 10 month old should • Wave goodbye
Says "mama" and "dada" to the correct parent
• Indicates wants with gestures • Stands alone for a couple of seconds
• Puts objects into a container
come on. I think it is too much pressure on parents to make their children keep up with the Jones' My son does many things a three year old can do, but can't dress himself. It's like telling a goose to lay a golden egg. What do you think?

my babies moving has decreased a lot lately. They say its normal towards the end of the pregnancy, but usually around which week? And today baby has moved only like 3 or 4 times all day. I drank a lot of water and layed on my left side. Not to much is happenning.. Right now he has the hiccups. I can feel them :-) Is it normal for him not to move this much?

I was just re-hired to a company that I previously worked for, for 4 years, however it is in a different location. I am 21 weeks pregnant and I haven't told them. I have heard that you don't need to tell upon hiring because they may discriminate.I know that I probably should have told them, but obviously who is going to hire someone in my situation. I really needed the job and altho it is illegal to not hire someone because they are pregnant, obviously they would have come up with some other reason not to hire me. I don't know how to go about telling them or when I should? Does anyone know the rules for Canada? I have looked but its been very hard to find any information on this.
Thanks in advance!

When your wife/girlfriend/whatever was pregnant, how did you feel about it? Did you find her more, equally, or less attractive? Were you creeped out by the baby in there, and didnt want to have sex, or did it matter to you? AFTER baby, did you still find her as attractive as before? Do you see her differently than you did before the baby came along? What ways?

Just curious...
I'm a mama, and I know how my man feels. Just wondering how OTHER men feel about their significant other during and after pregnancy. Thanks guys! :)

My period is always on time, and I never have weird spotting or anything. For the past week or so I've had really tender breasts. According to my calendar, I'm not supposed to get my period for another four days. Yesterday, all day, I had really light pink discharge... at the time I thought it might be implantation bleeding. This morning I woke up with worse cramps than I've ever experienced, going around my whole front and back. I went to the bathroom, and the pink discharge was still there, but about a half an hour later I had really really heavy bleeding, but a different color than usual. It was brown/pink instead of bright red. It bled like that for several hours, and then went to the normal red color, but is still really heavy. Am I having/did I have a miscarriage?

I am about 8 weeks pregnanat and for the past 3 or 4 weeks i have had abdominal cramping. I know you feel some sort of cramping during early pregnancy due to your body adjusting to the baby and every woman is different, but is it normal to have cramping for that long? It happens everyday, periodically through out the day, some times its quite mild, sometimes its a little painful/uncomfortable, and sometimes i get sharp pains. I also noticed what I think is brownish spotting on my underwear today and yesterday (only happened on one occasion each time). Im going to the doctor soon, but it just confuses me and I would like to know what other people think it maybe.

Just curious. Tell me about it. My son has been pretty healthy. When he was a week old he started vomiting real bad, took him to the ER and they found out he had pyloric stenosis and he had surgery. A few minor colds and an intestinal virus that gave him diarrhea every 30 mins.

If I tested today and it was neg or tomorrow and it is negative, is it most likely I am not pregnant? I am suppose to start my period on the 16th. I also know exactly when I ovulated, on the 3rd of Feb. and we had intercourse the three days before and on that day, unprotected. So should a test show positive by tomorrow?
