Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 February 2007

I just got over my period but I'm wondering, can you still get your period if you're pregnant? I had my period a week early and for 2 and 1/2 days. The first day it was not extremely heavy as it typically is for me. The first day was almost like the middle day for me. And the last day and a half were as though I did not have it at all--barely bleeding (brownish icky color). Is it possible that I could be pregnant still since I received this a week early and it was not a typical period for me?

Is there a stage, like where it gets really messy, or is it pretty much the same as always right up until the last minute. I'm assuming I'll have to be careful regarding where I put my weight and how hard to go at it, etc. But is it generally ok or does it feel a bit weird?

What does the mucus plug look like? Can you just lose it but have no other bleeding? Also how long after you lost yours did labor start? I heard it can be weeks.

I think the washing machine or the dryer is eating my 6 month olds socks. Every time I wash, I end up with one sock missing. Has anyone seen like a mesh bag or something similar to put baby socks in when your washing and drying them? If so where did you buy it from? Thanx

I had a miscarriage in December of last year and my doctor said that it was okay to start trying again and now we are pregnant, we don't know how far along because of irregular periods. I am so afraid that I will have another miscarriage. I know I shouldn't stress because it isn't healthy but I am so scared.
Has anyone else had a miscarriage then a healthy baby?

We have an appointment with a personal management firm that provides children/babies for print advertising and television commercials. Is there anything we should know so we can be prepared and not be ripped off. How do we know if it's the real deal? What kinds of things should we expect to pay for and what things shouldn't we pay for? I've never done anything like this before and I want to go in there informed so I can make the best decisions for my baby and keep him safe.

I have read differnt things about implation bleeding
sites say so many differnt things and so do ppl on here when responding to implation bleeding
I bled for one day like gush 9 days after sex and got a postive pregnancy test 5 days after my implation bleeding
so I found I was pregnant before I even missed my period I wasnt due for my period for 3 days
so does this sound normal cuz this is how it went down with me does that equal up to what u have read about implation bleeding?

I know you can take Tylenol when you are pregnant. Can you take Tylenol Rapid Release Gels? My husband got them by mistake when I sent him to the store to get me Tylenol. Are they the same? Would it be bad if I took it?

We thought it was dry skin, than when we took him to the doc, she said it was eczema. She told us to get this cream ( hydrocrotisone cream). The eczema went away and came back,a couple of times now. We are unsure of what this is, or if the doc was right. I was wondering if anyone knew what to do about this, and do you think it could be an allergic reaction. ( I was told he was to young to have an allergy test. Thank you.

My six week old daughter has suddenly become more interested in her mobile than in interacting with my husband and I. Sometimes I think it's adorable...she has a mobile with bears on it and she coos and smiles at them....but many times during the day she prefers them to us! She'll cry if we pick her up out of her pack and play to try to engage her, and she'll calm down if we put her down in there. I know this might sound like a great thing, and it IS in a way, considering up until this week she cried non-stop and refused to be put down even for naps. I'm just wondering if this is normal? I guess you can tell I'm a first time parent by this question :) Thank you!

I have recipes for fresh peaches, but since they are out of season, I had to buy organic frozen peaches that are already peeled and sliced. I'd love a recipe that would keep the most nutrients in.
Also, if you have any suggestions for good books for making baby food or great websites (other than wholesomebabyfood.com...I already use that site) I love to know.

yes, i know that difference..

I am sick and tired of all of these ads on t.v. that have these sickly and dieing children, that what you to send money to a foreign country.

OUR COUNTRY (USA) NEEDS TO PROTECT AND SAVE OUR OWN CHILDREN!

I know that people are going to disagree with me...bring it on.

Is there not some way to sterialize the mothers of these baby's??

Dont get me wrong...i have 2 kids of my own. i'm just saying....IF YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS......THEN DONT HAVE THEM!!!!!!

STERIALIZE ANY WOMAN IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN.

wouldn't our world be a better place if we did??



THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY OPINIONS
