Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 June 2007

This is my third pregnancy. I have two boys from my previous marriage. This is my first pregnancy with my husband and I can't stop thinking about having sex with him. lol
I am about six weeks pregnant and I am having to take prometrium. I took this with my other pregnancies too, but I have never spent this much time thinking about being intimate with my husband. The other day he was hitting the steering wheel, like he was playing the guitar, while listening to Ozzy and I had to ask him to quit because it was really turning me on.
Did/does anyone else have this reaction during pregnancy? I don't want to call it a "problem", because I think it is actually funny. Was it different with every pregnancy?
I forgot to mention that I look 4 months even though I am only 6 weeks and my doctor has advised me not to have sex for a few weeks.

I'm 4 days away from the due date and found out yesterday that the beautiful name I had picked out for my baby, has been taken by someone (kind of) in the family. First off, we don't know if its a boy or a girl and we have a boys name picked out. But the girl name was Zoe Nikole. Found out that my brothers' dads' girlfriend (they've been together for a long time now) has a 2 yr old granddaughter named Zoey Nicole. I'm so upset! I want a really rare name, and I know the older ones aren't used much anymore. So, help me out please!!!

Has anyone here ever had a child misdiagnosed for Autism? What made them initially think it was Autism and turned out not to be?

My son is almost 6 months old. I have been having a lot of issues with breastfeeding the last few weeks. My son has been acting hungry after feedings for about 3 months. I started him on some Rice cereal and some veggies. Well here is the issue: My SIL has been very successful with breastfeeding her baby (who is now 15 months old) She called me today to "encourage" me. She never calls me. She said something negative to my husband about me starting him on solids. Her daughter will not wean, she doesn't like food (except junk food) I feel I am doing what is right for my son, without creating major problems later on. He still nurses, but my supply has been down since before I started him on solids. I have done EVERYTHING the books say to increase supply: Not working for me. I am planning on letting him nurse as long as he wants, but supplementing solids in as well. He will not take formula. Im going to the Dr this week.

I was at a gas station and saw a young woman slapping her 3 year-old across the face with the backside of her shoe over and over again...
I think the kid wasn't climbing into the car fast enough for her.

I told her to stop and she started chasing me with the shoe and cussing at me to "mind my own f'ing business"... Her friends held her back.

Was I right to call the police and report it as Child abuse?

I realize it would be hard to do, but does anyone else find themselves being nosy about what the person did after reading all our answers? Were they pregnant, was is a false alarm, did they dye their hair, did they put it up for adoption or abort? I wish people would let us know how our answers helped. I realize we only have a few characters to work with if we choose a best answer but I really feel they should let us know what happened...it kinda feels like a cliffhanger at the end of a tv season. Anyone else feel this way????

My three year old is kind of cruel to our kittens. She carries them upside down, by their necks, pulls their tails, pokes their eyes, throws them, hits them and screams bloody murder when someone tries to correct her behavior, is this normal or do I have a future Ted Bundy on my hands ?? Yet, no matter how she treats them, those darn kittens snuggle her when she is asleep....maybe the kittens have physcological problems , too ?

I am 12 years old and I am tired of being bullied about my boobs. I am am a size 34C and everytime I am in the hallway guys try to bump into me, and then they tell their friends about it. They are always like I just touched Rianna boob. I can't tell my dad because he wouldn't understand and I don't want to talk to him about this. My best friends are there for me but they tell me that I am lucky to have big boobs. When I go to the doctors they always tell me I am not full grown yet. I ask them before how large they think my breast will get and they told me to a size 34D or maybe larger. I hate have big breast I can't wear tight cloths, or cloths that don't fit properly because boys always try to peek. What can I do to look like I have smaller brest, what can I do about the boys at school? How can I try to tell my dad since my mom died a few days after I was born? I want a mom to talk to but since I don't have one I come to answers and I hope you can help. So please answer.

I'm not married, and currently we aren't seeing each other, but I want to get a paternity test to 1) make sure it is mine. 2) make sure that I establish rights as the father. I heard unless married, I have no rights. So what do I need to do to make sure it gets done and makes things legal?

He feeds, sleeps and craps well enough but my wife is worried that he is not putting on much weight. He was born 10 days ago, 2 weeks late and weighing 4.1kg and now is 3.8kg, what will happen if he does gain weight quickly enough?

I have been tracking my temp and one morning it was 97.1, the next it was 96.6 and the next 96.0. I just ended my period so i know its not the lowering due to my period starting, but i wanted to know if your temperature can be messed up if you are really cold in the morning. I slept with the window open the past two nights and woke up and took my temperature when i was freezing! Could that effect my temperature making it inaccurate? Thanks :)

I am wondering if any other moms don't mind if their baby wakes up to eat, have a change, or snuggle in the night... I actually look forward to him waking, I like to see him scoot towards me and start pulling on my shirt, or waking up so he can snuggle in for a cuddle. But the main question everyone asks me when the first see my baby is "Is he sleeping through yet??" as if it is a very important thing. (he's 6 months, breastfed, and co-sleeps)

Is it important for the baby's development, or is it more based on the parents getting a night of uninterrupted sleep?

Do you mind if your child doesn't sleep through?

And, how long exactly is it considered sleeping through? Four hours? Six? Shorter, longer? Just curious, thanks for looking.

I'm still 13yrs old but I already feel bad everytime i hear somebody saying that
she will have abortion. It's like murdering if I'm right?
What's your opinion about this method?

Thinking about getting one as it works out cheaper having the car seat included in the price. Unsure as the safeness of baby being in car seat for long periods of time.

I was just wondering at what age do you think is the right age to have a baby?

I know it depends on the circumstances, money, the realationship..etc. But all that put aside, just purely what would be the best age in your opinion?

My opinion is around early 20s, as my mum and dad were in thier 30s when they had me, and i wish they had of been younger!

(Asking this here because the smartest ladies are always peruzing this section :)

OK, so I was on BCP for 3 months - no period the whole time (but neg preg tests). I'm now off my pills (my husband and I are going to try for another baby), and today I had, well, what I thought was going to be a period, but it has turned out to be nothing more than spotting (old blood). Could this be a period? Since it's been so long since I'v had one, will it start off so light?

Oh, and also I should add that I had a hormonal IUD for 2 1/2 years prior to the BC pills, and this gave me no real periods, just light spotting like I had today about once every 1-2 months.
