Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 February 2007

My daughter is getting to be impossible to live with. She will 5 in april and seems to be getting worse. She gets into EVERYTHING. You literally have to be watching her every second. She empties spices all over the cupboards,ketchup,barbecue sauce,ANYTHING. She even put the dirty cat litter in my closet. She sreams and whines about every little thing. She doesn't seem to listen,she even says "i don't care what I've been told...."
I am at my wits end. We just last night discussed ritalin use for her. She runs away in stores saying she'll be good. If you can manage getting her in a cart she kicks her shoes off and of course everone is looking.

She throws tantrums all the time which I try to ignore and not give in. Even her teacher said she demands all of his time.

I can't see this being normal behaviour for a 4 almost 5 year old.If her brother or sister say something her answer is just the same but she expects you to listen to only her.

can someone help with some suggestions?

I am taking prenatal vitamins because my husband and I are TTC, my question is...can prenatals make your period heavier because of the high amount of iron in them (since iron works as a blood thinner)?? Has anyone else experianced heavier periods while taking prenatals? Thanks!

Ok well I ma pregnant for the second time and very very cranky. One of my irks right now is pre-natal vitamins. I know going in how horrible they make me feel during the first trimester and how half the time I yack them up. I know they are supposed be too be good for the baby so do not judge me or say I dont care but I have had a problem bringing myself to take them everyday. Last week I took them a few times. This week I haven't even started and I have been feeling so sick for 4 days now. I keep staring at the bottle and dreading it. I have known I am pregnant for about a month now

Did anyone have problems getting into a routine with pre-natals?? I feel like a bad person but at the same time they make me feel crappy. And yes I have done the "take them with meals", "take them at night". As I said second time around. Did anyone use alternative methods, a different vitamin, skip it all together??

And yes I know about the folic acid thing too......

Do I NEED breast pump? Last time I found they didn't work worth a darn and they are so expensive, I was thinking of not getting one this time.... It has been years since my last baby and so I wanted your opinion... are they necessary?

Also, where can you get cheaper nursing bras then the brand name ones from maternity stores? Not online.. I need to fit them properly in person.

SO i went to the doctor yesterday I am 39 weeks pregnant and my doctor checked me and said that i have not dialated and my cervix is still long or whatever she said then she said I was measuring a bit smaller which is odd because I have been measuring normally at ever visit. What could this mean I have not been seeing my regualr doctor because my regular doctor wants me to rotate around towards the last few weeks of pregnancy so i have never seen this doctor before and now she wants me to do an ultrasound. I dont get it

Everytime I went to my white friend's house when we were kids they were always disrespectful to their parents and would call them names like "bitc*" and "wank3r" all the time. What brought this all back was a documentary I saw last night where these kids were cussing at their parents and slamming doors in their faces...why?

I wanted to know if during the discharge, and pain and I had sex that day and the next day there was still a clear stretchy discharge, does that mean I could have a good chance that I will get pregnant?

I have a pic that resemble that clear discharge.

I am 4 months and one week pregnant. I am experiencing major lower lower abdominal pain and lower back pain. It hurts the most when i fully extend my body (standing up straight/laying on my back with my legs down. It isnt really a cramping, its more of a VERY harsh pressure. I haven't had any spotting. I had a pain further up in my abdomen and was told by my doctor and u guys that it was more than likely "round ligament pain" well this feels completely different. I have already contacted my doctor but it will be 30 mins to a hour before i get an answer from her. Do any of you know what this might be? Have you experienced it? Should i go to the hospital? All of your answers will be very much so appreciated.

Other than the "fishy smell" what are the symptoms of BV? I'm 25 weeks and have (and had for awhile) a very strong odor (sometimes I can smell it even after I get out of the shower!), although not necessarily fishy...but I started reading about BV and it scared me! I was supposed to go to the DR today but due to inclement weather, their office is closed and I have to reschedule...so for now I'm waiting and worried.

I never thought it was abnormal because I thought during pregnancy you have more discharge, etc....I never even knew about BV until now.

Well I have a six year old niece. Since she learned how to walk, she has been pretty active and wild and you just cannot do anything with her! She doesn't stop dancing, jumping around, singing or moving around. She'll do it around the clock! Even if you tell her to calm down or sit down for a minute, she doesn't do it and she's always looking for something to do. The problem is she gets bored very easily and she has to be doing something or do anything to get people's attention. She loves to be the center of attention all the time. My niece can't be quiet for a minute or stop moving around so much. My sister has put her into dancing, gymnastics and basketball and keeps pulling her out either because she can't take her there anymore or because my niece gets bored or is too overactive. Weird thing is none of her teachers complain. She's quiet and fine in school but anywhere else, she's completely uncontrollable and she doesn't care for time-outs. Time-outs doesn't calm her down and sometimes she doesn’t do what she’s supposed to do during time-outs when we look away. She sits down when she’s supposed to be standing up and facing the wall. Then my sister decides that when time-outs didn’t work, she would spank her but I thought you stop spanking before a child is six. Now since her younger brother was born, she’s been worst. She disobeys more, overly active and makes distracting noises with her throat. Her doctor says that her throat looks fine but she keeps making the noises. We’ve down just about everything. What else is there to do? What is the problem? How do we treat the problem?

Can a paternity test be done without the mother being present? (Just swab the father and the baby) Or Does the mother have to be swabbed to? What if its done without the mothers consent can she sue?
