A family friend has recommended a nap routine. Up two down two. Basically your child is awake for 2 hours and then naps 2 hours. Her daughter sleeps 12 hours through the night.

Right now my 4 month old son sleeps 5 hours max straight through (from 3am-8am). The rest of the day it is anywhere from 20mins-2 hours.

I am trying this to see if it helps him sleep better at night. It was an extreme battle to put him to sleep. Start at 9pm...and he wouldn't sleep more than twenty minutes until about 3am. I do believe he was overtired.

He has yet to sleep more than 5 hours straight through and it is easier to get him to sleep by doing up two down two. However, I feel as though I hardly spend anytime with him now.

Opinions...experiences...?!

Thx

Should I have a baby girl, I have the name Katelynn Elizabeth chosen... I've had this name chosen since I was pregnant with my 2 1/2 years ago. My question is, should I spell it Katelynn with two Ns, or just the common spelling as Katelyn with one. I really like the way Katelynn looks for some reason, but I'm also all about keeping names as simple as possible... how should I spell it?

Katelyn or Katelynn

Thanks!

OK, first off - know you're not all doctors :)

I was on BC pills for 3 months - three full packs. I never had a period the whole time I was taking them, but I took a preg test and it was negative.

OK, so - seeing as how I have not had a period in three months, when do you all think I should expect normal ovulation (hubby and I are now TTC so of course I'm anxious).

Any insight or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

What the heck!
I am 29 weeks pregnant and my starting weight with this pregnancy was 164lbs (i had a baby 6 months prior) Now I weigh in at 190. I know I will hit the 200 mark before this shindig is over. But holy cow (that me what I look like)
Has anyone else had close births?
Was is harder to get the wieght off?
Are the any tricks for not putting on anymore excess weight?
I eat VERY healthy 5 small meals a day!!
My husband tells me to relax and enjoy this time. but I feel added pressure becuase he is a fitness junkie and I look like the blimp floating around the arena during the big game!

ok so i have been ttc for 9 months, my periods are usually dead on time, this month i have had bleeding 1 day before my period is due,

can you tell me if this sounds like a regular period or implantation bleeding...

first thing in the morning had a gush of blood (not too much but enough to fill say 1/4 or a pad) and then changed my pad (sorry this is so detailed) and since then i have used only 1 more pad and it was 1/2 covered in blood!

now it's about 17 hours after the first gush....but the blood has been bright, not sure if it's more bright red or pink but have also had brownish blood, i wouldn't call it spotting as is slightly heavier than that but def not like my usual period as i usually have very heavy periods lasting around 7-8 days!

i would usually go through around 5 pads in a day!

so what do you think? the only other symptoms i have had is cramping period pains this morning for about 3 hours and sore boobs all day!

please help..... thanks x

it's an accident (forgot to take pills )
women feel empty inside
women are not financially ready to have kids but yet they do
is today trends and is accepted...
even if is not the child best interest?
women have the right to do so..even if it's the baby that pays the price?
because women can claim ignorance?
because women don't like to take responsibility?
because women want babies?
