Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 August 2007

I do this stuff at work all the time, but now it is MY baby and I get all nervous. With clipping his nails and everything do at the hospital. His foreskin is starting to seperate. Today was the first time I got to roll it back a little bit. Abit of fluid came out and I cleaned all the white stuff from birth in there. But it was a little bit red as it had never been touched before because it hadn't seperated yet. I used a warm cloth and dried it. Should I put vaseline it to lubercate and aborb any moiture I missed in drying it? God, you'd think I'd never done this before.. but I haven't on a baby... just elderly men, that is a little different

Today, I finally got the courage to take a test. My boyfriend was here with me for support. I gve it to him so that he could tell me the results and right when he asked "what does two lines mean?" I broke out in tears. He got it then and tried to comfort me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. I so badly dont want to tell my parents. How are they going to feel about how their only child is about to have a child of her own. How do I break this news to them?

When I was in college I remember reading about an orphanage where the nuns conducted a study group. They studied 2 groups, a group of children who received love and
attention and a group that received little attention. I wanted to read more about this study but I cannot remember the name of orphanage, etc.

i'm having a baby boy in october. he's half white, half hispanic. my family has been making jokes since day one. at first i laughed along and didn't think much about it. now the jokes keep coming and they are starting to get pretty harsh. i've told them that they need to watch what they say b/c i don't want my little boy to feel treated differently than anyone else. some of the comments offend me alot and i've told them that but it doesn't seem to stop. any suggestions? it's starting to stress me out and i have enough things to worry about. help!

How can I tell if my 7 month old son has diarrhea? He usually poops 3 times a day, spread out across the day. For about 3 days he has been going 3-5 times per day. He has gone 3 times already this morning (it is almost noon). It is looser, but only once have I seen what I would call watery. He just got over some congestion.... should I call the doctor?

I wasjust wondering why when someone on Y answers has a serious question, they can only on average get 4-6 answers but you have a troll post a question that is so freekin dumb they get 30 or more answers/ comments. Dont you think our time would be better spent to skip over the trolls and answer those who really have questions? Might also detour the trolls, if they dont get a rise out of people then they dont get their kicks. Just a thought, anyone else?

Its just anoying when you have to waste 5 pts to ask a serious question and you do not get a variatry of answers, I myself like to keep my points and only ask questions when I really need a good answer then I get few answers and its frusterating. Suggestions? I know some of the questions may not be interesting that ppl have but gotta be better than the trolls right?

Ok thanks for leting me vent HAHA!

My 4 week old son has hard lumps under his breast area...I didn't notice it until last night. One breast is larger than the other. I know that I read in my books that it's normal for the breasts to be swollen - but this seems to be different than just swollen. They seem to be like knots or lumps under the his actual breast. I wasn't sure if it has something to do with my hormones still being inside him or what. But I have been really worried about it. Does anyone know if this is normal?

I just entered my 12th week of pregnancy.
I'm either 91 or 92 pounds.
I'm very fit. I have this really small bump that looks like muscle or something.
Why aren't I showing? I looked up on Yahoo! Images and all the 12 week pregnant women on there have pregnant looking bumps.
When am I gonna get one of those??
And I eat good too, and drink lots of water!

she says she has nightmares all the time and her imagination from the bad dreams come to life. She is afraid to be alone, and is practically attached to me by the hip. i cant even go to the laundry room. This concerns me because her grandfather (her father's dad) is schizophrenic. I took her to a psychiatrist a few years back (when she had a similar complaint) and they said it was too early to see signs of that and that she was suffering from anxiety. This all began again after her aunt (her dad's sister) died last month in a car crash, could this be the reason for the recent behavior change?
