Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 August 2007

Like changing Emily to Emulea or Emmaleigh. Or Jessica to Jezzikah for example. I understand everyone wants to be different, but I think it's just a phase people are going through right now. I know some names are the same if you give or take a letter like Sara / Sarah. But why misspell the name out of context? Just wondering...

I went to the clinic today turns out i was 9 weeks preg. Thought i should have had things checked out because of a missed period last month, obviously something was going on. This morning i woke up as usual and felt perfectly fine untill i was walking round town with cramps , even thought i thought i was on my period because of bleeding ( was spottin sunday night n monday ) should have known =S . Anyway finally had a urine test done at the clinic which showed positive .. came home later on , went up for a shower but something wasnt right lots of clots and a lump of something i guess came out , not too sure if it is my baby or not

please help im really confused and shocked mums taking me to the docotors tomorrow to get checked out i just hope this isnt the end .

My Daughter is 6. She is my world but boy does she get stroppy when she does'nt get her own way.She does NOT yet know the meaning of NO.She will make a mess in the lounge or her bedroom and when asked to clean it up she'll throw a wobbly and she thinks nothing of crying and going on and on in public either.She is such a beautiful child and I'm sure she only acts up for her Father and I .She is not always naughty but how do I effectivley disapline her and show her whose boss while at the same time keeping my cool.. Help im at my wits end with her..

blames everything on me. If he falls, gets hurt, can't fix something, or can't have something. He hits me like it is all my fault. He only does this when he is frustrated or mad. I tell him no hitting and give him time-outs but he still does it. I won't spank him becasue then that makes no sense. Hitting for hitting, I don't think so.. plus I don't believe in spanking anyway. Sometimes after he does it he hugs me and say"Be nice to momma" and I'm sorry. So I guess it is just an anger control issue. What should I do? Is this normal behavior?

i have two baby girls, shannon and jaycee, and i love both of them very much. shannon is two months old and jaycee is a month old. they are beautiful because they both look like their moms. the girl who had shannon is 15 and her name is shelbi and jaycee's mom is 16 and her name is jaylen. i love both my babies and im going to be a good father because i never had one growing up and i still dont have one so im going to give them everything i never had. i just dont know how to handle their moms. they know about each other and don't like the fact that i have a baby with both of them but they except it. what should i do as we get older??

he knows plenty of words, most of which only i understand. but someone keeps telling me that he should be speaking by now.

otherwise he's a very intelligent kid, recognizes most shapes, most colours, sings the alphabet, can undress himself, feed himself, and is very artistic. but sometimes i just don't understand what the heck he's saying! and he's my only child.

My daughter (5yrs) has had a100.00 fever for the last 2 days, but only in the early morning. The only symtom she has is being hot and tired. No coughing, vomiting etc. We give her meds and within 2 hours or so she feels better, wants to play, eats fine and has no fever for the rest of the day without taking any other meds! We thought she was better, but then this morning she had a fever again, and now its about noon and she's feeling fine. Is it ok to give her some meds and go ahead and send her to school tomorrow morning if she has a fever again? Or should we go with our orginal plan and keep her home but make a doctors appointment?

I had my monthly OB appointment on Monday August 6th. Everything was great. I am 20 weeks today. I have my next appointment on September 5th. The thing is my husband just accepted a new job today and our benefits will not start until November 1st. I thought about paying for the September appointment out of pocket, but no one can give me an answer on how much it is going to cost. I got a range of $99-$300. I can't afford this. I thought about just skipping my September appointment until my new insurance is in effect. Any thoughts?

My husband is trying to contact HR at his current job to see if he can use PTO to extend his insurance benefit time.

my periods are normaly very heavy and last for 6 to 7 days long. But last month instead of my period i had a very very light one and it only lasted for 2 or 3 days. and now its time for my period to come again but nothing. I've been sick i guess so i dont know if that would really have anything to do with it. my boyfriend and i dont use any type of protection and i was on birthcontrol untill i ran out about 2 and a half months ago. i dont have enough money to pay for them any more. I really need your help. thank you.

Does my son have a diaper rash? There are about 10 little red pimple-like looking bumps above his penis. Then yesterday two of the bumps became white, thin, water blisters, the size of half of my pinky nail.... are these blisters part of the diaper rash? is this a diaper rash? or is it something else? i called his doctor and they said its a diaper rash but the doctor wont be in for another 2 weeks..... he doesnt have a fever or anything... he doesnt complain or cry either.. should i keep him out of the sling? how should i treat it? i use california diaper rash cream.. but its very oily and not dry... and i also have desitin creamy... are there any drier diaper rash creams? is it even a diaper rash???? should i take him to the emergency room? he's not complaining about it at all, but im about to breakdown in tears when i seee it!!!! i feel panicky because i dont know what it is and i dont want it to get worse!!!!

I am newly pregnant and I am finding by 1 or 2 pm that I anm almost falling asleep at my desk at work. What are some things that I can do to "perk up" and keep up with my work - FYI - I have not told anyone at work that I am pregnant yet, so it needs to be something that is not going to make me stand out in the crowd.

i've always used the dollar general brand and they have worked for me. I took one this morning and checked it about ten minutes later, it was negative. when i looked at it again about three hours later there is a second thin, pink line. i could'nt have mised it before because it is pretty dark, not faint. could it be an evaporation line even though it is pink??
