Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 July 2007

OK So we have been trying to get pregnant for 7 months now, no luck. We already have one child so Im sure there is no issue involved with not being able to..........its just not happening. I have a few questions.......

1. What day(s) would be best for trying?
2. Besides 'relax', any ideas ?

My 3 mo old son has basically stopped eating.

It started gradually about 1-1/2 mo ago. I mentioned it at the 2mo check-up. He is only wetting 1 - 2 diapers a day. The nurse I spoke with didn't think it was a big deal. The lactation consultant says there is nothing physically wrong - that it is an emotional problem. The pediatrician is out of town until Thursday.

His birth weight was 7lb 2oz. At 2mo he was 10lb 7oz. He is almost 4 mo old and 11lb 5oz.

He is visibily thinner than a week ago.

I have no problem with using formula and have been doing that. He isn't taking bottles anymore.

All he wants to do is suck on his thumb and when we try to feed him he has a kicking, screaming angry fit.

Me and my mum were talking about immigrant rights, and my stepdad is black, and my mum was saying that my stepdad is more English than she is (she's white and English, see). Then my six-year-old little brother piped up and said "Is Dad more Englisher than me?" I thought it was really cute. Has any of your kids/little siblings ever said something adorable like that?

At first I told her It was a girl (which i shouldnt have) but she didnt beleive me and knew it was a guy and wanted to know the name. I wouldnt tell her though because I know she will make fun of me. Shes done it before. Now she is really mad. Should I have told her?

What things can I do with my two year old. I am 37 weeks pregnant and really can't leave the house. I need ideas of thing to do. I just feel really bad just letting her sit around the house. Coloring and Play Dough only last for about ten minuets. It is really to hot to go outside for longer than a few minuets. We sing songs and I try to get her to "dance" but what else can we do. I need help I really don't know what else to do with her. I feel really bad because I had to pull her from the daycare center that she was going to because of money. Please please help!!!!!!

I only need it because he can get out of control in a parking lot. I have another son who is only 4 so when I have both of them it makes it hard to keep a hold of my 5 and 4 year old in a parking lot if we have to walk a very long ways. He's almost gotten hit by several cars who back out of spaces without looking... and I would talk to him about it but he doesnt speak so it makes things more difficult.

Do you think I would be able to get a plate for my car and if so how do I go about obtaining one??

And yes he has officially be diagnosed with Autism.

I'm considering an unassisted home birth. Because i've had a c-section and the law in the state I live in (AR), I cant have a midwife, and that is a little nerve racking. Has anyone done it before? Even though a midwife cant be there, could a doula? Any info would be great, thanks!

I babysit my one year old neice during the day. She will not take naps for anything. The only way her mom got her to sleep was with a bottle after she was so tired she couldn't do anything but lay there and cry. Now she is weined from the bottle and that doesn't work. She gets so tired that she just crys and screams and crys. Her mom told me I could lay her in her bed and let her cry it out. But that doesn't seem to be working. She will cry for a hour and then cry for 10 minutes and stop for 2 and so on for another 2 hours until I finally get her to eat. On the occasion when she does fall asleep it's not for more than 30 minutes and wakes up just as tired as when she went to sleep. I have a 5 month old that needs taking care of too and I can't take of both of them with her crying so much out of tiredness. If I spend an hour trying to get her to sleep and then leave her laying right next to me she will sleep. But she wakes up if I move her anywhere or if I get up. Please help!

Me & my husband have three daughters, we are pregnant with a fourth baby, we will find out the sex next month. My main thing is I just hope the baby is healthy, but I really really want a little boy this time, Is that horrible? I will be happy no matter what & would love another daughter just the same but this is going to be our last child & I would love the chance to see how different raising a son would be & to have my mama's boy, lol. we got three daddy's girls & I just want to have a boy so bad. Anyone been in a similar experience? Do we have a greater chance of still having a girl or is it 50-50?

I'm pregnant with my second baby and worried because my first time around went so bad. I had morning sickness all day long until my eight month or so, premature labor, then I went 3 weeks overdue with an aged placenta, and had an entirely preventable 'emergency' c-section. I also had little support and no one listened to me. What are ways to make this one go smoother? I want a natural, drug free pregnancy, I want to use relaxation and meditation techniques, and other then that...I dont know what to do differently this time. Help please!

I think this is insane. A 5 or 6 year old doesn't need sex education at their age. They already have enough stupid classes that they are forced to take that they don't need. There's no reason to throw in sex education. A 5 year old doesn't even know what sex is so why should they learn it? My kids wouldn't be going to school at all if I found out they'd be forced to have sex education. I don't think it's right to force sex education on a bunch of 5 and 6 year olds. Parents and teachers what do you think about this?

Why cant you go into hospital to have your baby and leave as soon as you have had it? If you have a home birth its perfectly fine to be at home but having it in hospital as a precaution and is born perfectly healthy they insist on keeping you there a few days, I hated it, i couldnt sleep as it was too hot and just wanted my own bed, but for my next baby I want a home birth but at the same time im scared in case of anything going wrong but then im held in the hospital. Why cant I have the security of being in a hospital during birth but be allowed to go straight home and rest? Being in hospital I could not rest at all!!
