Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 June 2007

Just more things to take into consideration with trying to conceive. I have taken a flu injection in March to prevent me from getting it, like I always do each year and I never get the flu. I have been having a runny nose, backache. Stuffy head, while I am at work I feel like sleeping the whole time and my eyes feel like they are not quite focusing. The sleeping part may be because I am not feeling well. So could this be part of pregnancy symptoms? According to one of my charts the latest ovulation date was the 20th of June, which makes me 8dpo! Next cycle to only start next Monday!

When children leave their toys on the floor they get thrown away?
Lets say the kids destroy their playroom, not by playing but by being destructive, strewing about board games, puzzles, legos etcetera.... so you dump everything haphazardly in bins and put it away telling the kids that you "threw it all away" Right or wrong was to go about it? Lets also say that you gave them ample warning to clean up as they went, and to clean up the huge whole mess or else.

I had pitocin with my daughter because I wasn't dialating. Up until that point, labor was painful, but bearable. Next time around I would like to try to go natural (which won't be for a few more years). If you have gone through both, was pitocin induced labor a lot different than natural labor? I'm guessing prior to the pitocin wasn't as bad as it could have been because they weren't dialating me, but what is the difference? Please only answer if you've experienced both. I'm just curious. Thanks!!

a. a cell phone
b. her own tv (in her room)
c. her own computer (also out of my sight)
According to my 11 year old, we are the only parents in the world who supervise tv, computer usage, and are not considering a cell phone for her at the moment. She is smart and well behaved. What's your philosophy?

We have 5 children and love them all immensely. We chose to get 'fixed' after our last was born and now we are somewhat regretting it. We would both like one more. She says she feels pregnant, but is worried it is wishful thinking and somewhat depressed - doesn't want to take a test. What would you recommend? Make her take a test? Look into adoption? Look into a ligation reversal? Chalk it all up to wishful thinking, deal with the disappointment and stay with a family of 7? Just looking for more opinions.

The first morning home from hospital I started crying. It lasted for a few months, I was miserable and anxious and restless. I constantly worried about what I had gotten myself into and fantasized about adoption. I didnt want to hold her or anything. I said I would never have another child and went on prozac. It helped me and I've been back to normal for the last 4 years. My husband and I decided to have another baby but the depression has come back, this time during pregnancy. I orignally went of my meds but went back 3 weeks ago on 10mg of Prozac. Its not helping and my relationship with my first born is already beginning to suffer. I have trouble eating, sleeping, concentrating, and have no interest in playing with her anymore. I have to force myself to hug her and pretend to be happy and I dont even sit at the table to eat lunch with her. I find myself wishing I never got pregnant and ruined everything for her and my husband. is it just my hormones? has anybody else felt this

I find myself purging and using "morning sickness" as an excuse when I know that's not always the case. I need to stop and want to talk to someone about it but don't want everyone to think I'm weak and stupid....I don't know what to do.

Does anyone know at what age you are considered too old to adopt in England? I'm 34, and ttc, but have been trying for over a year with no success, so we've thought about the possibility of adoption, but I'm worried that they might think I'm too old if I wait much longer. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm due in 4 days and we've narrowed it down to either Tanner or Brandon, but we just can't decide. Logan used to be in the running, but now I'm hearing that its becoming popular as a girls name. The baby boy will be joining big sister Avery. Does anyone have any opinions on these two names?

He has no accidents during the day, and sometimes he can go the whole night without an accident, but sometimes he can't. I cut out any drinks/food after 7, I've given him showers in the morning when he does pee (war, showers just to wash the smell off of him, he hates showers and will usually do better for the next few days). I don't know what else to do, the dr said that most kids are potty trained by 5 yrs, and that's coming up in December.

I weighed 162 to start. I can't believe I just told my weight. I keep asking the doctor is this okay and he doesn't really say. I was measuring right on until my last appt. now I am 32 weeks and only measuring at 30 weeks. Is this weight gain okay? I thought I was supposed to gain at least 20 by now.

Hello! My 18 month old daughter cries rivers when I hold another baby.

(1) what do I do to get her to let me...do I dicipline her for the outburst or do I cuddle her? I have tried to let her sit on my lap at the same time and she still wales. I dont want a spoiled child...and I dont want her to think I am going to replace her with the baby I am holding...what do I do?

(2) what happens when I have another baby? Is there a way to prepare her for this? I dont want her crying while I am already exhausted with a newborn. I also dont want her to feel left out.
