I have a 3 yr. old who has the attitude of a 13 yr. iold & I can't get her to stop being so hateful & smart with me, she even does it to my husband sometimes. But mostly me & I can't understand why. We don't talk to her like that. Could this be a result of sibling jealousy? We also have a 3 month old daughter.

I am not drinking it but I am a little confused over this, and yes I will ask my doc at my next appointment. My doc said about 2-3 cups of coffee a day is ok. I only have about a 1/2 a cup in the morning. Since Red Bull is egual to 1 cup of coffee, can you drink one or is it a big no?? Thanks a lot...

My son is 8 yrs old. I have always known that he has attention and behavioral problems. Lately it has been constant. We have TSS and MT and BSC for him, but is that enough? His father and I are at odds over this. I feel medication may help as we have exhausted all other options known to us. Any suggestions will help

From the day of ovulation until your estimated next period, there is usually a two week wait. I want to know as SOON as it happens.

I am scared my body will freak out when I go into labor. I really don't want to have a C-section but I am VERY bad on pain as well. If there are any insulin dependant diabetics who were diabetic BEFORE pregnancy, please give me some words to help me through this.

Will this bring bad luck to the baby and do you think the name in general is just wrong for a kid to grow up with?

Should I tell her not to? What are your opinions?

My daughter is only 2 but she uses her left hand alot. I try to remove something and put it in her right hand but she puts it back in her left hand. So I assume she will be a lefty. Are there any disadvantages for toddlers that are lefties?

I'm starting off with I am NOT on any type of birth control...Anyways for some unknown reason I stopped having a period and went without for little over a year, Had several and some blood tests done and all were perfect nor do i have PCOS! Anyways my doctor wanted to try a progesterone challenge on me 10mg for 7days to see if that would induce a period. It did i finally had a period jan 20-25th. 2 weeks after my period stopped i had spotting for two days then it stopped well 7 days after that i started spotting again as the time went by the brown discharge got heavier and started turning pink then dark red. It seemed as if i started my period the only thing is, it wasnt coming out i wore panty liners the first two days and nothing got on it but when i went pee blood seemed to have poured out and soaked the toiley paper when i wiped..I started wearing tampons and those get soaked as well..I passed 3 clots bigger than quarter size and had bad stomach pains last night feb 19th.

My youngest daughter is 6 months old today and she is still colic. The only advice that I was given to me from my Dr was to hold her and cuddle because thats what colic babies like. I have tried Gripe water (doesnt work) running a vaccumm(works) but i cant keep the vacum running all day long.....lol. I've tried colic tablets from the health food store. I have tried everything. I even changed her formula.
Some days I just cry cause I dont know whats wrong with her and she cries for hours on end 4-6 hrs straight. I am so tired, I dont remember the last time i had 4 hrs sleep straight. Could there maybe be something eternally wrong with her? maybe she isnt colic. My Dr said Colic usually goes away after the 3rd month.
I feel so helpless that I can't help my daughter. I want her be be comfortable and not in any pain, I feel that she is cramping alot cause she pushing her little legs up to her belly. My Dr isnt much help.

I'm about to hit 16 weeks tomorrow, and still no sign of visible pregnancy through my belly. My belly is still flat. There are times I thought I was showing but I guess it's all gas cause it goes down the next morning. When do you really start to show. I'm too excited and can't really wait. Oh yeah, my nausea went down, i don't feel sick anymore. Is that a good sign? My breast are still sensitive though.

I am desperate, I have no clue how to write it. I have a three weeks old baby and I need to write affidavit of proof of his identity. Could somebody give me a link to a website or give me an example of what exactly their should be written? I am not american, English is my second language, so I am really having a hard time figuring those things out.

I'm not meaning to be nasty at all but when people ask on here what they can do to improve their chances of getting preggers they keep getting advised to take folic acid. That's not stictly correct.

Folic acid is important to take to help prevent birth defects but, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't actually improve your chances of conceiving. I've had ivf treatment and you obviously get lots of advice and Dr's expert opinions and I was advised to take it but NOT to help me conceive but for the reasons I've mentioned (which are highlighted below).

At 10 weeks pregnancy I had a middle ear infection. I was prescribed: Cefalexin, as I am allergic to Penicillin. Unfortunately, I also reacted very allergic to Cefalexin. Nausea, headache, breathing problems, very tired, couldn't move my arms and legs anymore, the works.
At 13 weeks pregnancy I miscarry, which shows a foetus of 10 weeks pregnancy in size.
Could this be linked? Or absolutly not?

I have a 4 month old little boy who smiles all the time but he still hasn't laughed out loud, at least not for me. His sitter says he has but I haven't heard anything yet. I can't wait for the moment that he giggles for the first time. Also, when I pick him up at the sitters I am expecting a big smile like he is happy to see me, but I hardly ever get one. It it starting to discourage me like maybe he doesn't care to see me? I know it sounds crazy, but I was just wondering if anyone else out there ever felt the same way? I feel like he likes is babysitter more than he likes me!
