Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 June 2007

I usually start every 33 days but the past two months I have been early. Two months ago I started on day 28 and last month I started on day 21. Today would make day 28 and I've been spotting for the past three days now. I took a test and it was negative. What's the deal?

I want to do natural and I have no problem with dealing with the regular pain of laybor. The things I am worried about when not having an epidural is if there are complications, the cutting before I deliver, and the sewing up after I deliver. I can imagine that those things will be easier with an epidural. But there is also a lot of complications that can arise with the needle and after birth. Help?

I have tried a scrub brush while shampooing her hair, and also tried putting olive oil through it and brushing it out ( I heard about doing that from a book) Both of those didnt work. Any suggestions?

My daughter is 14 months old. I conceived her while I was legally separated from my husband. Yeah, that happens..

The guy I used to date has disappeared. I have no clue where he could be etc. He left the country and went to Asia when I was 5 months pregnant. We were in a relationship for almost one year. The last thing he said was that he never wants to see me again or even meet the child. I now think he has some mental cause all of a sudden he treated me like the worst crap. He left no address.

I'm back together with my hubby and we cancelled the divorce before it was final!

The bc is blank so far, stating that I "refuse information on husband".

Can I just put him there?
What are our options?
Do I HAVE to try to contact that guy?
We don't need nor want child support.

Wouldn't they have to wait until you had the baby anyway? Why do they need to do them when you're pregnant? Ugh. Can I refuse one?

I am 10 1/2 weeks pregnant. I have been breaking out with welts all over for the past 3 days. I take a benadryl and it goes away for a little while. I had changed shampoo and bar soap so I thought it was that but I switched back to something that I have used before and I am still breaking out. So I guess that it isn'-t the change. The welts itch really bad. I also started putting baby oil on after shower but I stopped and I am still breaking out. I did change laundry detergent but I have been using it for a few months now, so that shouldn'-t be it. My mom told be that some women get a rash during pregnancy but this seems more like an allergic reaction. I am calling my doctor. But I just want to know if this has happened to anyone. This morning my lower back started itching and then before I knew it there was a big welt. The welts appear on my neck, arms, stomach, and back. And also my face oh and the palms of my hands.. Please help!!!!!!!

My husband and I have two biological children, aged 3 and 5. We are able to concieve, but have chosen to adopt our 3rd child. We have recieved a few comments off people that since we are able to concieve, we shouldn't be adopting (think of how it would feel knowing it is the only adopted child? Shouldn't you allow those who cannot conceive to have this child?) those sorts of comments.

How do you all feel about this?

I came off the pill a month ago to try for a baby. Going by my last period i should be due on today. I have done a test and it is negative. I feel really tired and irritable but dont have any of the usual period type pains that I usually get. Could I be pregnant or is it wishful thinking??

Her diapers are being changes as soon as she "goes". My daughter is 6 month old and is teething (she cut two teeth a few days apart). Could that be it? Could it be her food (she is on formula and solids. Any suggestions?

We are worried that she will crawl around in the residue, then stick her hands in her mouth and ingest it....there has to be a safe way to protect our home without endangering our infant!

Do you ladies think that your baby knows when he/she is being watched? Like when we have ultrasounds done, do they know they are on TV? My last appointment I was hysterical because the baby was flipping and moving around like crazy. He looked like he/she was waving; his little hand was going back and forth and everything. The doctor had to print like 6 different pictures because he was moving so much that none were clear enough. I know it's silly but are they aware? My mom said that because I had a vaginal ultrasound that maybe the baby felt threatened and that’s why he was moving around so much. What do you ladies think?

OK- Here's the thing: I am 32 weeks pregnant, and I still haven't decided what kind of medications I want to use during labor and delivery. I kinda want to use just a "local" anesthetic, but people have told me that isn't strong enough. Should I use an epidural??? HELP!

I would just like someone elses opinion on this matter................

My bf/husband whatever you want to call him insists I do not do anything. I stay at home with our daughter who is 19 months old. I also babysit a 3 and a 8 year old, which I get paid to do. So contributing financially is out of the question. I make enough to pay all the utilities, and for some other extras. I don't get to keep any of what I earn. I cook, clean, run errands, make his phone calls, do his invoices, take care of all maintenance around the house, anything that needs to be done in or around the home I DO. I have dinner cooked and ready when he arrives home, I have to remember where all his things are on top of trying to remember everything else. He doesn't help out with our daughter when he gets home, so I can do something for myself. I haven't had a hot meal in over a year. I am just tired of hearing I don't do anything. How do you deal with this???

Would you name your child after a character in a movie/book/play? If so, what would you name them and in which movie/book/play would we see it?

First off, I'm not asking this for myself. I am happily married and also not pregnant. Now that that's out of the way, my best friend is pregnant. Her ex was very controlling as well as verbally abusive. She doesn't want her child to be around what she dealt with for the two years they were together. I wasn't sure how to help her with this so I wanted some options to give to her. Do any of you know ways to keep him off the birth certificate? I thought maybe she could say she doesn't know who the father is but I'm not sure if it will work.
