Assuming you can't leave your house or send your kids to grandma's..... What is a good way to de-stress? For example, do you lock yourself in the bathroom and have a bubble bath? My boys (5 and 7) can make me crazy. Boys are so rough and noisy even when they're just playing - not fighting. What are some good suggestions for a 15 minute chill-out? I'm a responsible adult so no alcohol while watching the kids... sigh...

I am beyond frustrated. i have been diagnosed pre-eclamptic but my doctors (military) seem to want to test my blood pressure (6 high readings in a row) and protein in urine regularly versus induction at 38 weeks. Today I went to my appointment and the baby had no amniotic fluid at all. Several hours later fluid had returned. My blood pressure was normal at this time so they sent me back home. I'm supposed to be "taking it easy" so I haven't done anything strenous to help baby make its way out but I'm beyond frustrated. Why so late in the game are we still doing tests, now they want to do another 24 hour protein urine test and a fetal non stress test. From what I have read when you are pre-eclamptic doctor's usually don't have a problem inducing you at term and I'm told I have a nice size baby.

I don't know if I can switch plans this late, but any feedback or suggestions to convince these doctors to see I'm concerned about my health & baby rather than just trying to get induced?

It doesn't make any difference wether its formula or breastmilk, she just won't take the bottle and well i can't breastfeed her anymore, my hair is starting to fall out and it makes it very hard to look after my one yr old.

She's only 15. We've moved her into a new school, talked to his parents and made sure she is on birth control. She continues to try to see him against our wishes. (we have good reason to not allow him near her. ) He threatens her, says she "needs to have his baby" and has broken into our home and stolen from us. His mom actually smoked pot with them - which she admits. Law enforcement seems unable to help. We're doing counseling and have an active family life, but she seems unable and unwilling to break things off with him. She thinks they are going to marry someday and getting pregnant would force that issue. So scared for her!

My son started solids at 5 months old and was really happy with them at first. But lately he's been refusing anything that I try to give to him. I was thinking of trying some potatoes mashed with some breastmilk to see if he might be interested in that? Anyone tried that at around this age or have this same problem with their baby refusing solids after a while? All he wants lately is Mama's milk :). Thanks so much!

Hi all..I just went for a check up today. My gynae said that my baby is small and my due date increase upward. Means like the baby is small than his due date..My baby is now 33 weeks but it looked like it just 29 weeks..I feel down for a moment. His head is normal, it is just his body is small..Anyway, my gynae asked to eat my daily supplements and other vitamins given double..Should be like obimin taken once per day..but now I got to take twice per day and also for other vitamins. Other parts, everything is ok with the baby..it is just he slowly grow and as advised by him, he asked me to eat a lot but accordingly. I think this happened maybe I eat less recently, only eat breakfast, lunch & dinner..no additional food. I was so worried with my baby.My gynae also said that, on my next check up that is another 2 weeks from now, if the baby condition still remain like this, caesarean will be proceed to avoid pressure to the baby..What do u think of this guys..:-(

I propose that the Social Service department of Child Welfare start offering classes on spanking to any parents who want them, and that abusive parents be forced to take them. The point of the classes would be to educate parents as to what is and is not acceptable physical punishment, legally speaking.

I beleive that physical punishment can be a good thing for children. I also beleive that many abusive parents honestly think that they are not being excessive.

What do you think?

I am 2 months and three weeks pregnant, I am sure I felt the baby today it felt like an octopus moving, only a couple of seconds then it came back, it wasn't air, or collic or cramps it was a swish like tickling sensation.. Do you think it is possible to feel the baby so early?

My son, who is 5, is the biological son of my husband. Although he is not my biological son, he thinks he is because I have been in his life since he was 2 and his biological mother is not a part of his life. I also have a biological daughter who is 6. For some reason, I find that I am harder on him. He will do certain things that will set me off, but when my daughter does the very same thing in a different circumstance, I don't get angry with her at all. I do try to be fair and all rules apply to both children, but it seems as though I must have some sort of biological attachment to my daughter and not with him. I do think that he may be able to sense my emotional distance. I don't readily take hugs and kisses from him than I do from my daughter. I don't want him growing up feeling like his mother never loved him. The psychological effects can really affect his life when he is older. What about other people who have adopted children??
