Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 February 2007

my hours have changed and i would no longer need for my mother inlaw to watch my son (12mo) she doesnt respect my wishes when i ask her not to walk with my son after dark and he has had a cold every since he's been staying the nights at her house. anyways im very picky on who's watching my baby and i just wanted to know what are some things you would ask or look for in a caregiver?

First let me say when I got pregnant, life was great. Things happen and now we have moved back to parents for a few months to get on our feet and also live in the same city so I can use grandma for daycare. Now I was going to school where I used to live. Only a semester tho. Now I want to start school again in May..the baby is due in August. I haven't found work I guess bc of my belly and boyfriend is making good money this is just a high area. We are saving up to rent a home. Anyway Im having doubts, I think I could find a job if I was available in the day but I need to be a full time student for financial aid and full time has to go in the day.Should I continue on with school and leave it to him to somehow get us on our feet or should I forget school and work full time?The school Im going to can get me my associates in a little over a year and my plan was to have the high paying career before my little one even turned one.What should I do...what's best for now or best for later

they say during the later stages of pregnancy the mother will be able to recognize her baby's sleep/wake patterns....but mine is always moving....does that mean the baby is going to turn out to be the kind that hardly sleeps?

we have decided to name our girl Haylee Anne Marie. we arent sure how we should do the middle name tho. we arent sure how we feel about the four name thing......so what do you think, that it looks better spelled Anne Marie, annemarie, Anne-Marie, or AnneMarie? and do you think that the one with the hyphen would be to much trouble (like always having to tell people it has a hyphen!)

Hello. I am a 36 year old trying to conceive. I do BBT charting and use ovulation predictor kits to follow my cycle. Today is cycle day 33, 13 days post ovulation. My husband and I were initmate a few days before and day of ovulation (ovulation estimated at CD 20 by OPK and temp spike on BBT chart). My luteal phase ranges from 12-14 days. Yesterday I had mild menstrual type cramps but no flow. Today, as 13 days past ovulation, I had some pink to red spotting a few times, but then it stops for a few hours.I had terrible menstrual cramps, too. I have never spotted before. Normally my period comes on full force. My temp was still high this morning at 98.2 F, which is above my BBT coverline. Now my cramps are gone and the spotting seems to have stopped. Could this be a peri-menopause thing or could this be late implantation? HPT are negative, but I know it takes a few days for HCG to rise after implantation. I will restest in a few days if regular menstruation doesn't resume. Any thoughts?

A teacher brings a 6 yr old into the emergency department after he fell over and injured his wrist. There is minimal swelling and no deformity of the wrist. The child is dressed in a shabby t-shirt and shorts, in the middle of winter. His skin is dirty and his hair is knotty and tangled. The child's mother arrives soon afterwards and from the conversation with her it is identified that she is a single parent on a low income. She tells staff that she works 3 venings per wk and leaves her child at home with his 12yr old cousin. The mother looks very young. is dressed nicely and wearing jewellery

What is up with all these brats on here? I've read some questions and answers from some of the most brattiest girls. I would pay a million dollars to see the "real world" hit these girls. Especially Lori and EmaWeeE, I cant believe they are proud to be spoiled brats!

My daughter just turned one. She has very light brown hair, and she doesn't have a whole lot of, more around her ears and neck though. I recently noticed her hair above her ears, almost temple area, is WHITE, I have noticed before it was lighter, but I thought only because it is sparser in that area. I have 2 explanations, one is that it is a "hair birthmark" where there is no pigment, but it is the same exact spots on both sides of her hair, coincedence? My second theory is that it is from the anesthesia, she had surgery a month ago. Any ideas?
