Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 June 2007

i never really keep track of the specific date that my period starts i always have my "sign" and then the next day or so i start. well i had my sign about 8 days ago but i havent started since and i noticed that my nipples were a little sore. but then 2 days ago i was in a car accident on the seat belt burned my pelvic area a little and left me with many bruises across there. on one side it even left a blood clot. when the doctors did my x-rays they sheided me to protect the embryo in case i was. but they never did a test. they gave me perscriptions but i havent taken them b/c i dont know if i am pregnant. what i wanted to know is if in fact i am pregnant could the bruises be a sigh that the seat belt might have hurt the embryo even though it would only be a week or two old?

I have an evenflo comfort select Dual electric breast pump. i tried using it this morning but it's not sucking. The noise that it makes when it does suck is there, but it's not doing the sucking thing. I don't know what's wrong with it. It's not that old. It was purchased in december of last year and was only used once before I got it. It worked perfectly each time i used it. The last time I used it was about 2 weeks ago when I was on a trip. Brought it out for the first time since then, put all the parts together, and turned it on... and the noise is there but the sucking isn't. I'm frustrated because I know how expensive these pumps are and I really need it. Don't really want to go out and get a new one when this one is still brand new. And i don't want a manual one. Has anyone experienced this before and can you help me? thanks...

I wont let my 12 year old daughter go anywhere by herself. I'm afraid something will happen to her. We live four houses away from a school that has a park, and i wont let her go by herself, but when we went on a vacation to Greece, she was free to go anywhere. I was against it but her father was like, let her go. It was safe there, but who knows what kind of hoolagins are out there right? Should she have more freedom, along with her little 9 yr old brother?

My boy's 11 months old, and getting tired of his baby cereal and oatmeal ( porridge) for breakfast. Toast is an obvious alternative. He has not shown any food allergies so far, hence I think spreading unsalted butter is OK? Today, I fed him toast that was "softer" than what I'd normally eat, with butter and yeast extract spread ( just a scrape of it). Snipped up the toast into baby- bite size...he ate a few pieces before losing interest. Should I have toasted my bread longer and served the "harder" version? What else can i serve with toast? He seems to be very keen on food, always staring at our plates when we have our meals. I think he could be adventurous when it comes to food.
I realise this is hardly rocket science, but I would like to do this right. Thanks everyone.

A friend of the family offered to throw my babyshower. About a month ago she told me it would be on June 17th, at which time I'd only be almost 6 months, not to mention it's Father's Day. I just mentioned these facts but didn't complain, because hey...someone's throwing me a party!

A week and a half later I had all the addresses for invites emailed to her, and I didn't hear back fom her for a few days, so I called to make sure she'd gotten them...and she hadn't checked her email yet. But she said she would and then send out invites ASAP.

Now it's a week before the shower and she STILL hasn't sent invites. I could call everyone and tell them, but she hasn't even told me all the details (such as time) and it would take a LONG time to call the whole list.

I don't want to be rude since she's throwing me a party, but would it be out of line for me to ask her if MAYBE it would be better if we rescheduled for a later date, so the guests would have more notice?

My son is 3, and since we recently had a newborn baby he has started playing up bigtime and I can't control him. My wife remains clam at all times but I can't, I get really angry and roar and shout and this makes him worse, he gives as good as he gets.

I smack him if he does something wrong but it does no good whatsoever, he will go straight back and do it again or he'll also hit you back.

He is causing arguements between me and the wife, I'm at the end of my teather, I don't know how to control him.

Any advice?

My husband and I are both in the Air Force, I just got back in January and he left in March for Qatar. He's there until September, I'm due in November. I'm trying not to freak out about furniture and baby stuff and finances and I'm trying not to stress him out even more, because I know how much stress you are under over there. Any suggestions?

After much discussion, my best friend (who happens to be gay) and I have decided to have a child. Which would be the best and safest alternative method for conceiving other than natural.

A bunch of us were talking over on the vegan and vegetarian board, and we were wondering. With all the problems with child obesity today and the obvious cruelty of all forms of meat eating. Why would any responsible parent allow their child to eat meat?

I have been using provera for 3 days. The reason why my doctor gave me Provera was because I haven't had my period for 3 months. She wanted to induce my menstral cycle. I have PCOS, I had unprotected sex twice on my 3rd day of Provera. Is there a possiblity of me getting pregnant? Thanks.

I am a single mom, never married his father but have always provided for my son. He has always been a great kid and pretty much still is but he is my one and only child and Im so frustrated with the attitude and behavior. He is already showing signs of puberty and maturity so I'm thinking he's "In that stage" right now. Dealing w/his dad is frustrating enough but to deal with your child who's acting like a clone of him is more aggravating. Im pretty laid back and was a" no problem child" for my mom but he's different. I will admit that schedules and tight structure have not been always a part of the routine but for the most part I have instilled disipline, Is it too late to make structure a part of his life & become a more disiplined parent even though hes gotten used to to things this far in his life. I need advise as to what i can do as a parent to change and make a difference in my sons future as an adult.

Will I be pregnant FOREVER.. cause I already thought I was... I hate that 'oh the baby will come when he's ready!!!'.... that is SO patronizing and not validating AT all. Not really a question... just frustrated.
