Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 July 2007

I cant get my 2month old to sleep without rocking her, putting her in her vibrating bouncer and bouncing it with my foot. The minute I set her in her crib no matter how long shes been asleep she wakes up and screams. I have tried the cry it out method but she could scream for hours! Everytime shes awake shes crying unless she is held. PLus she isnt at all on a schedule and she never sleeps at night. Help me I am desperate. What do I do? Not to mention she has colic and she's on gripe water too!

She's driving me crazy with this! We raised a great kid who up and disapeared on me when puberty hit. Now she feels like a depressed loser if she doesn't have a boyfriend.

This guy was ok at first, but I had that 'mom' feeling and I was leary but cordial to him. They dated for 7 months then he dumped her and dated a few of her friends. It's been 5 months since the break-up and she hasn't dated anyone else and has been hung up on him the entire time and now he's back to paying attention to her... I really don't want her to get her heart broken again. She was just starting to be her old self again and now I'm afraid she's going to be on a temporary high becuuse he's into her again, but what happens in a few weeks when he decides that he's bored with her again and one of her friends is more interesting? Unfortunately I know she won't listen to me because this is what she's been hoping for for the last 5 months... I have high hopes for my daughter and they don't include him. Advice?

Im 21 years old. My boyfriend is 25. We just found out we are expecting. This was not planned, but it happened. I am in college and he is an apprentice in the union. My parents, especially my dad, aren't the most understanding people. My boyfriend does not want to be a part time dad and wants to live with his kid. So therefore we looked into buying a house, but we dont make enough money yet to qualify for a loan. We also rather not waste our money on an apartment. Any sugguestions?

Do you get more cramps when it should have been the time due for you period.If so, how long did it last for.Was it the same amount of painfulness as if you had your period? Thank you.

I am starting to lightly bleed and it would have been the time for when my period was due. I am 9 weeks now and I saw my doc today which said it's ok to bleed as long as it doesn't get heavy. But the cramps are getting very painful. I use to get terrible period pain before I was pregnant.Do you think this pain will pass like period pain does? I have had the pain for the last 4 hours but the bleeding is still light. Please help.

My son Andre sleeps through the night. Our problem is that he first has to fall asleep in our arms and then put him in his crib. I would like to let him cry it out but am not really sure of how the method works. The last two nights I put him in his crib sleepy and then the crying starts we let him cry for 10 minutes and then my husband has gone ina taken him out and he falls asleeop instantly. How long do you let them cry and when is it time to pick them out. He gets so upset and starts to gag and breathe as though choking. Doesn't this crying make it harder for him to fall asleep? His daytime naps are easier. I put him dowm today sleepy and just rubbed his bottom and he did fall asleep. The thing is that even in our arms he throws a hissy and it takes him a bit to calm down

I need some help guys. My girlfriend and i are 17 . We have been sexually active the last couple of months.I have always used a condom. and im pretty sure ive pulled out most of the time.this week she had her period while we were having sex. her period lasted the rest of the day but stopped the next day. Is this a sign of pregnancy =/ ? or is this just her hormones changing with her body as she gets older? her period is usually at the beginning of the month...thanks for the help

My 2 1/2 year old loves shoes. It was cute at first when he was like a year but now it's getting a litte weird. He won't leave the house without shoes, which is fine, but he will actually cry if you try to make him go anywhere without shoes. Also my boyfriend noticed a pair of shoes he bought me were missing. I didnt think much of it until this morning when my son was in his little electric car that he likes and he had hidden my shoes in there and was wearing them. It's not that he likes specific shoes he loves all shoes to the point when he will sit on the floor sometimes and look in the closet and remind us whose shoes are whose "daddy shoes" "mama shoes". We bought him some little flip flops as well and if he's sitting in the car and kicks them off by mistake he will actually cry to the point where he's almost hyperventilating until someone puts them back on. What unusual things can your kids not seem to live without?

I used Nuvaring for 2 years. I've always had trouble with mood swings (PMDD) while on estrogen-based pills so I don't know why I thought the ring would be any different. I switched to the minipill about 5 months ago (I took it for about a year after I had my daughter so I knew what to expect) and had no problems until about 3 months ago. Since then I have a period every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks with bad cramping. What's more, I've been on the current period for 2 weeks (bleeding the whole time) with bad cramps that come and go. About 3 weeks ago my boobs started hurting pretty bad too. I've been moody too (pretty much wanting to kill anyone who talks to me. I never miss pills and take them the same time every day. My new insurance kicks in August 9th so I really want to hold out going to the doctor until then. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?
Please keep in mind, until this point in my life I've never had anything but perfectly spaced, 28 day long cycles since I was 11. I'm 22.

my 3 oldest sons (ages 17, 14, and 13) all have a profile, but my husband and i know the passwords and we check them often. the second we see something we don't approve, bye-bye-myspace. i have heard parents say that it's a harmless website, and i have heard parents say that it's nothing but trouble. i feel that it is both. it can be a lot of fun for teenagers if they stick to their friends and people they know, but once they go out and try to meet new people, then it is a very dangerous website. what are your opinions on it, do your kids have one?

We live in a duplex and have for about 5 years now. New neighbors moved in about a year ago and we have never had problems with them until recently. At the end of the spring We tore down an old swing set that was out there and dangerous for our children. The neighbor asked (all of her children are teens but she has a young grandchild) if we would pitch in and help clean up the yard and build a sandbox, we did. The sand box is covered with a tarp and my children use it frequently. Someone is always outside with my children and I usually double check at night that it is still covered. Yesterday she was yelling at my kids (ages 7 and 3 and my hubby was outside with them) accusing them of leaving the sandbox opened twice the day before. I know for a fact that her DD had been over and uncovered it for her child (I watched her do it and we were not home all afternoon until 9 PM). I want to say something to her but am wondering if I should just let it go. Any opinions?

I am 18 years old,and a senior in high school. I was adopted out of my family when I was about a year old.I love both my adoptive parents,and biological parents so much.I see my biological parents a lot and they have said that they aren't the most proud of me for getting pregnant so young but they will help me out,and if I want I can move in with them.I also have a lot of great friends too.I have aunts,cousins,friends,moms,sisters,and sister-in-laws and no one has yet offered to pay for my baby shower.I am alright with it because this baby is my responsibility and I don't mind paying for things on my own.I have a couple jobs too.

So here I am 6 months along and have made mention to everyone several times how I much I would like to have one and still no offers.I am afraid that if I put one on by myself everyone will ask why I never asked them to put one on for me,but I don't want to be rude,or slight anyone.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
(:

ps-please no criticism.

if there ever was a male oral contraception made would you trust that your man had taken it regularly or would you use extra protection anyway?
