I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. I have HARD pregnancies (preeclampsia, preterm labor, low lying placenta, etc.) I called my doctors office last week to talk about how the baby wasn't moving like she had been. The nurse told me not to worry because I didn't know what I was feeling. (Did I mention this is my 4th baby?) I called this morning at 11 to see about some itching, pains in my rib cage, watery discharge, etc. Just some concerns I had. The nurse said she would talk with the doctor and get back to me. I waited 3 1/2 hours and called back. Left a message for the nurse. Missed her call back 4 hours after the original call and she left a message stating that she didn't know why I was calling again and that the doctor didn't have a chance to look at my chart yet because "when she is in the office she is working." I thought part of her job was to take care of the patients with problems? What would you do? I don't want to see another doctor. How would you handle it? Thanks

I'm a mom of two. There is four of us. We have two dogs, that I dislike a lot. They are big and I am allergic to the dogs. Ever since my husband and I moved in with each other the dogs got jealous and destroyed our house, but my husband refuses to let one of them leave, because he has had one of them for 6 years. One is 8 and the other is a 10 month old. These dogs have destroyed carpets, couches, chairs, shoes, floor, and pooped and peed all over the place. We can't leave the dogs out so we lock one in the bathroom and the other in the laundry room. If we left the 8 yr old one out she would climb all over our son's bed getting it dirty and sucking on the comforter. I have caught her at night destroying the bathroom door, and pooping all over our things. The other one, destroyed our laundry room floor and chewed our gas line to the hot water heater. It's horrible. I am highly allergic to the new dog. I have tiny scabs on my body from stratching and benadryl doesn't work. What to do?

ok, i recently got off of the depo shot in Mid-November. Me and hubby have been preforming ("unprotected"), since november i HAVE had light-spotting thru-out the months. I have never had a full-blown period. Well, I know HGC in ur urine has to build up...so... i took the midstream-test(the one you hold under urine stream) well its accue-clear Home test from walgreens and as i tinkled on the strip the dye went across the test well it had a line when it went over the positive window before it got to the other result window (and then when the dye finally cleared), there was only one line. I feel preggy and I since it. Do u think it was to early to test? and I do not know when i am ovulating bc i havent had period since dec-05' after my daughter was born I got right on the depo-shot before i even left the hospital to take my daughter home! WHATS GOING ON THIS IS MAKING ME CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZY!!!! PLEASE HELP LADIES

Pro choicer’s have made the case that because it’s legal, it’s not wrong to do so. That's great. I think I'll go cheat on my girlfriend now. It's legal, correct? So that makes it right? you're confusing legality with morality. There are lots of things that are legal that aren't really moral. It's perfectly legal for corporate america to ship your job overseas to save money on labor, but does that make it right? It was perfectly legal for the oil industry to continue to raise oil prices while also reaping record profits, but I bet you were one of those that screamed bloody murder and claimed a lack of ethics and moral sensibility was being practiced (all the while you went and filled up at the nearest gas station). It is immoral of business owners to legally oppose the rasing of minimum wage. And yet, it's moral for you to go ahead and kill human life because the Courts said it was legal. That's an interesting contradiction. It's even more interesting that science says biological life begins during prophase, the initial stage of mitosis. But the kicker is how the pro choicers scream that the pro lifers base their definition of life on their faith. Yet, many pro lifers cite the scientific argument of mitosis, just as I have. Pro choicers say that life begins at birth. Based on what? Faith? It certainly isn't science. Look, I'm not here to argue if you do or don't have the legal right to have an abortion. The Courts have ruled that you do. What I'm saying is that you don't have the moral right to do so, just as I don't have the moral authority to cheat on my girlfriend. To believe otherwise is only placating your own state of moral unconsciousness.

I just had a baby 3 weeks ago. On a drunken mistake, i slept with my ex (and father of my kids) two days ago. I am pretty sure, unfortunately, he came in me, is it possible to get pregnant again so soon? My period is ending, so i believe it is possible. Anyone know?

My five year old has always had an interest in gymnastics. He could do a cartwheel at three 1/2, and has just always had a natural talent in that type of thing. My husband even home made some equipment for him to play on, and he does constantly. We recently enrolled him in gymnastics classes, and he really enjoyed it. He has only gone twice, and the second time he went, the teacher was showing him how to do a handstand on the parallel bars and he slipped while coming down and bumped his head. Now he doesn't want to go back at all. We haven't paid for the class yet since it was a free trial, but we'll have to next time he goes. He doesn't want to go back no matter how much encouragement I give him, and I don't know what I should do. He has never done well with defeat, and I know this is the problem, but I know he would still love it. The problem is I don't want to force him to do something he says he doesn't want to do, and spend alot of money on it for that matter. What should I do?

Hi My best friend has a 12 year old daughter who is over weight. asahe is a friendly girl and very polite but has a weight problem. My friend has tried all sorts of diets and fitness routines but nothing seems to work.She only has one friend at school and even she calls her names. Alot of the children at the school are very unkind to her and constantly pick on her.My friend has had a chat with her teacher but theres not much she can do. As a result she doesnt want to go to school even though she is quite bright and gets very upset as under normal cercumstances she would like school. Is there anything else she can do or does anyone know of a good diet (that works) for a 12 year old.
