my daughter is 2, she has had the chicken pox vaccine...but she has areas of small red rashes on her body. she has three on her right leg, two on her left leg, and a couple on each arm, and a couple on her stomach. a couple of the spots have what looks like a bug bite, with a little raised bump. she's not scratching them, but when i touch them she jerks away like its painful. could this be the start of chicken pox or something else? any answers are appreciated! thanks! oh yeah, and she's got diarreah and she threw up her oatmeal this morning.

I'm in a bit of a situation. I have just left my current employer to seek new employement. I was in sales, but needed more stability and growth potiential so I decided to go back into accounting were my college degree is in. I know it's already going to be challenging entering this field once again, but I just found out today I am about 2 and a half weeks pregnant. Health insurance is not an issue since I can be put on my husbands, but how do I tell a prospective employer I'm pregnant? What's the best way to address this? I obviously need to be working and need the income but will be out after the baby is born. I plan on returning to work, but how is that going to affect a prospect employers decision to hire me, or should I not say anything until I am hired and say I just found out then? I prefer to be upfront and honest, but really need a good stable job.

Any Advice?

Thanks so much, and God Bless!

My children love listening to music and we only have a few CD's (including Raffi, which I like, but am getting fed up of.) They are 1 1/2 and nearly 3. Are the "They Might be Giants" CD's suitable for children this young. They don't really watch TV, so will not recognise anything from Disney etc.

I want to get my pierced tongue today, but alot of people have negitive things to say about why I shouldn't get it but they really never give me a reason regarding my baby. I am 6 months pregnant I know all the risk regarding infection and pain towards me and what not but Is there really a risk just to my unborn child

I'm roughly 35 weeks pregnant or so. I've gone through all the prenatal testing needed up to this point with the exception of Amnio since the doctor said it's unnecessary for me. I've stated in another question in the past that I've had a huge amount of weight gain - near 60 pounds now.

I'm going to the doctor in a couple hours but real curious about this thirst.... The last few days, no matter what I drink, I cannot quench my thirst. I keep trying to drink more and more but all it's doing is sending me to the bathroom even more. My mouth feels so dry and icky!

I've heard that between my weight gain and the thirst problem there is a possibility of diabetes. Has anyone had their gestational diabetes tests come up negative but still had it?

I have plenty of concerns I'll be talking to my doctor about today - this as well as other issues. I just want to know what others have experienced.

My daughter goes to the Boys and Girls Club for summer care. She really enjoys it. However, she told me yesterday that the kids were being too rowdy, so for punishment, they were made to sit outside on the bleachers for an hour in the blazing sun. It was 103 degrees in our area yesterday. Actually broke the temperature record. She was nauseas and listless all night because of this. Needless to say, I am furious! That is child endangerment! I have called and left a message for the director to call me back. I have a serious issue with this method of punishment. One of those kids could have had a heat stroke! What would you do and do you think this "punishment" was completely out of line? The kids ranged in age from 6-12. My daughter is 11.

I'm 25 weeks pregnant and so far haven't had any stretchmarks. However, I'm a UK size 6 and my bump is getting pretty big compared to the rest of me. When do stretchmarks usually develop and where?

This was our first cycle ttc.i just took a test and the second line showed up but it is very light. i know they say any line, no matter how faint is positive but it's hard to believe. What are evaporation lines that i've heard about? could it be an evaporation line? This is just crazy i figured it would take a least a couple months.

We have 5 cats!
and a baby on the way.
My mother and father in law are insisting that we get rid of them! (they hate cats) We are definitely not going to give our cats away. They insist that since both my husband and i WERE allergic to cats that baby is going to get really sick.. We have a big house so its not like there is tons of cat hair everywhere and i am a neat freak so i'm cleaning constantly. I talked to my doctor about this and she said that having your baby around the cats will help strengthen her immune system so he/she will be less likely to have allergies later in life! What are your opinions/expierience with cats/dogs and your babies?

P.S. I know liter boxes are bad to clean if you are preg!
