Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 February 2007

I find that I just love showing off my pregnant belly! When I chose sweaters or knit tops that really hug my bump, I feel so much more confident and sexy than when I wear "traditional" lose maternity clothes. Plus I like the added support it gives me in the belly area. What do you prefer, and why?

I just had our second baby 3 months ago and I am breastfeeding so I am on this birth control pill that is really picky and I have to take it at the exact same time everyday or it don't work. While I have been taking as I am supposed to I am still worried about getting pregnant again. We are not ready for another child yet, if ever, but he does not want to use condoms. He just keeps telling me it will be ok and don't worry. Is there anything else I can do to keep from getting pregnant?

We are having a lot of trouble deciding on a name for our unborn son. Well, I shouldn't say "WE'RE" having the trouble... it's my husband who's having it.

Actually, I have come up with NUMEROUS suggestions for boy names over the past several months -- ALL OF WHICH have been shot down on the spot by my husband. Even ones which I feel very strongly about, he says no way!

I know it's his son too, so I wouldn't have a problem with him shooting down my suggestions if he was coming up with suggestions of his own, but he hasn't given me ONE THING YET.

So, here I am doing all of the work trying to pull these names out of nowhere while he just sits back and rejects every single one I come up with. How can I get him to help me out here??? We are running out of time and options! Anyone else have this problem with the baby's father???

My 7 week old son is very attached to me. I love it except every now and then I need a break. I try to get out of the house for a hour or so and come back to screaming. Dad says this happens every time. As soon as I leave he will wake up and scream no matter what dad does to help him. It really hurts his feelings that his child doesn't yet except him. What can we do to make my son more comfortable around his dad? He is a great dad I have seen him with him he does everything just right our son just likes me Help.

I would suggest a ban on it for anyone not of high school age, but I think it would be easier to police if it were a ban for anyone under 18. We don't let 13 year oldes drive how can we trust them to know how to handle the negative attention they can get from showing of their body like that?

It seems to have dropped off so much that I am having to thaw frozen breastmilk and feed to my baby. I know I am not drinking enough water. I have started drinking more now. Is there anything else I can do? I have been nursing my baby often, but she gets frustrated and crys because I don't have enough milk for her.

Ok I got married Jan 20 i stopped taking my birth control at the end of December. I stopped then had my peroid for a week. I had to be on birth control since i was probably about 15 because i had irregular peroids. Well I have no had one yet but probably because i stopped. I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate of how long birth control usually takes to wear off. My husband and I already have a daughter from his last marriage and she is 29 months we would really like to go ahead and start a bigger family!

My son is 2.5yrs old. He is completely potty trained..day and night. My question is this....during the day, when he goes to the bathroom to go potty, he has to get COMPLETELY naked. I have recently been able to convince him to leave his shirt on, but the pants, underwear, shoes, socks....everything else comes off. Do other kids his age to this? He even has to take them off just to go pee.

I listen to my 2-year-old daughter's music a lot during the day. She loves it and it's helping her learn new words, and how to sing and dance, so I don't want to start turning it off.

But when playtime is over and I finally find the house peaceful and quiet, I can't get the stupid songs out of my head!!!! Especially when I'm trying to fall asleep, they just play over and over and it drive me batty. How can I stop this?
