Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 June 2007

Okay, I'm not sure if I'm having a boy or girl yet (nearly 19 wks!!!). I'll find out in about 2 wks. We have a boys name picked out. The girls name, we are still having trouble with. So, here is what I was thinking about - Halle Alexandra (or) Shiloh ????? (not sure on middle name for that one) . What do you think about those names?

Hello, I'm 10 weeks pregnant and I don't drink enough water. I take my prenatal vitimans daily, but I'm worried that I could harm my baby if I'm not drinking enough water. I'm lucky if I drink 20oz. I feel like I'm going to gag when I drink water. I do drink OJ and milk with my cereal, but those are about the only other liquids I drink. Can anybody reccomend something to help me out. Thanks

I was just curious as to what type of symptoms you have had?...I know that every woman is different and therefore it would help me understand my situation a little bit better if I was aware of different type of symptoms other women have had..and not just go by the standard symptoms online. Thank you so much!

I've tried everything and nothing works. Especially at night and while he's nursing I end up falling to sleep along with him. I'm so drained and I don't know how to keep him awake to eat. The main problem I'm having is at night. He eats a little bit and then he falls asleep and I lay him back down and he starts crying because he's still hungry!!! I'm going crazy and I don't know what to do anymore!! He's 8 days old!!

About a week ago I posted a question asking advice on baby girl names. We got a ton a great responses and my husband and I decided on a name we would love to use, but now my grandmother is begging me NOT to name her that. My mom likes it and everyone else we have asked say they like it too but she is just stuck on the fact that she thinks kids will tease her about it. Was wondering what you all thought.


Brooklyn Nichole Rennie.

Lastname pronounced Ren-Knee.

She says all she can think about when she says it is the Brooklyn Bridge, I don't understand why, it's not like we want to name her Brooklyn Bridgette Rennie. lol

Thanks!!!

My son is 33 months and we are starting to worry if he may have autism. He has a speech delay, although he speaks over 50 maybe 75 words but most of them are not clear .Also he has a behavioral problem - when we praise him for something he did , he gets mad , or also when we buy him a new toy , he throws it (but then he likes it) ,he opens and closes doors all the time,turns off and on the light,lines up in a perfect line about 30 cars, plays with the piano most of the day,likes to play or read books by himself instead with me or his 4 yr old brother , he throws tantrums ...are these autism symptoms or is normal...other parents experience this with their child? Or also can it be that he feels somehow less or left behind than his older brother that can talk,do puzzles,knows alphabet ,etc ?

A friend of mine just read messages from MySpace that her 14 yr old step-daughter sent on my friends home computer last night. Her step-daughter said she had drunk, faded and had sex with a 19yr old homeless boy in the bushes at some party in the woods. She said in the messages, that she didn't give a F--K and has recently been kicked out of HS. I want to give some good advice, but I am a single woman... with no kids. I say tell the parents and give tough love. But both the biological parents are "head in the sand" kind of people. And my friend is going crazy thrying to help. She feels out of control and doesn't want to be the one to step in. But I think she has to.
What can they do with this young lady? Where can they send her?

She makes these references every other day – sometimes in a jokingly manor and sometimes it sounds like she’s serious. I often see medicine or other items on the ground that she lets our 7-month old play with. My other son is 2 and a half. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t know if anybody would believe me – on the outside, she seems like the sweetest woman, she’s an accomplished school teacher, she’s very religious, and the list goes on. I live in San Mateo county of California. Also, she breast-feeds, so no meds. I would love some advice and some specifics on what I can do. Thanks.

My god son's mother is way behind on her rent. The normal rent is $680 but she has had to pay $720 for over a year because she is always late on paying. She told me that she is over $2000 behind in all of her bills and that her gas is cut off because its summer and she couldn't afford to pay it.
She has to pay her May's rent (yes May) today which she is still $95 short on or else it will go into collections.
She calls me and tell me all of this because she feels that I should give her the money. She actually had to audacity to say that I need to GIVE her the money so that she can be back on track. Who does she think I am and why should I have to be responsible for her?
She has a 6 year old and a baby on the way. Why bring a newborn into this madness?? She doesn't get support from the fathers and doesn't want to file for any. I have bought food and assisted financially in the past but not anymore. Am I wrong?? I have my own bills to worry about.

When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter Cassi I was 2 months along. I secretly hoped my first baby was a girl. Then when she was 18 months I got pregnant with my son Jack. Before I found out he was a boy I wanted a boy. So yes I'm ecstatic that my secret hopes came true, but truth be told I would've been happier either way (I think most people would).

My question is...

Did anyone else have a preference during pregnancy?

My sister in-law sent me a e-mail on this six month old baby who has shaken baby syndrome which he got from his daycare. I don't understand why people do this. And while I'm on the subject I notice a lot of kids being hurt while in a at home daycare. Who gives people there license in the first place. I mean this lady shakes this baby and get's out on a 5000 bond dui's are more then that. Why do people do this!

I am 15 weeks pregnant and at my midwife appointment yesterday she couldnt find the heartbeat. At first we assumed the baby was "hiding" and laughed about it and she kept trying. After 20 minutes (we timed it) still no heartbeat. I could tell my midwife was getting nervous and all talking stopped about halfway through her searching for it. I have had 4 miscarriages before and am very scared about this pregnancy. She ordered an emergency ultrasound to be done this afternoon. She said it was unusual because I have lost weight (i wasnt big to begin with) and they found the heartbeat wth ease at 8 weeks and at 12 weeks. I have been cramping a lot for about 2 weeks and they have been monitoring me and calling me regularly to keep track of my progress. I just want to know if anyone else has had this problem and what it meant for them?
