i was trying to get my son's Hylands' tablets under his tongue, and as i rubbed his lower gum, i felt something sharp.. Yay first tooth.. So since it's braking skin, is pain going to be over? Or just begun?.. how long untill it's all the way out? And when should i expect the one beside it, and top ones?

he's 5 months =]

I have a 4 year old son. I sleep naked and sometimes he crawls in bed with me at night so i get him a separate blanket.
we sometimes still take baths together. I sometimes walk around naked or get dressed when he is around. when should i stop? should i have already stopped? he never says anything about my body parts or anything. But im so use to being naked whenever i want that im not sure if its wrong. please answer seriously.

if I may be miscarrying. I've taken three HPTs since Friday, (all positive) and just today I have a slight dull achiness in my back. I haven't had ANY spotting or bleeding - breasts are sore, nipples have changed color due to the hormonal increase, vaginal discharge increased..but still no blood or menstrual type cramps. Am I tripping over nothing or could this be the onset of a miscarriage? Attached is my chart..

Any advice would be most helpful. I've called my dr today to schedule a blood test and ultrasound but I just want to know if I need to worry or not.

I have a 3 month old baby. When she was about 1 month and 2 week I had my first regular period since birth. However, the next month I didn't get it. I've been breastfeeding the whole time, and my husband and I have tried to be very careful, although there was one slip up right around the time that i could have ovulated following my period, but I've had 2 pregnancy tests around the time I should have started and both were negative. Aside from the pregnancy and births of my 4 children i've had a fairly regular cycle, so, how common is it to completely miss you period due to breastfeeding? I'm currently on progesterone only pills (for the last three weeks) for birth control, but the information that came with it seemed to indicate that they might make you bleed more, rather than less.

i've been using the answer opk and i started testing the day my last period ended on the 3rd and from the 3rd to the 10th i was getting 2 lines but the test light was slightly lighter than the control line. i lknow that was still a negative but is it normal to always see a test line even if it's lighter? then on the 11th, 12th and 13th i've had a positive opk test and the test line is darker than the control line. is it normal to have a lh surge for 3 days? also my first morning urine show stronger positives. when should i stop testing will the test show negative when i'm done ovulating?

I am on birth control and I had to double up a couple times because I forgot my pill. I use a pill called season ique. So I have a period every 3 months I have been getting sick almost every morning for about 3 weeks I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. Could my pills cause the test to read negative if it is really positive?

I'm 5 months pregnant and for about the last 4 months, I cannot brush my teeth w/o vomiting, it's inevitable. It started w/ brushing my tongue, so I've stopped that, I've changed toothpastes, it's not that. My husband thinks I need to use a children's tooth brush but I'm pretty sure it's not the "size that matters" (no pun intended.) I've already dropped to only brushing once a day and it's all I can do to do that because I puke puke puke... Any tips?!?! Also, I'm not nauseous before brushing, so the anti-nausea tips and tricks are useless... -Thanks Ya'All!

Could you share your experience with taking this drug for morning sickness? Did you take half (12.5 mg) or whole (25 mg) tablets? Any adverse effects you noticed in your child?

My friend is 13 weeks pregnant with her first child. Scan showed up 'abnormalities' which may be Down's Syndrome. She has more tests to do to be sure but is being advised by medical staff not to have the baby. She's in a terrible dilema and I cant help her with the decision. Can any of you offer advice or experiences? She's in her early thirties.

My two and a half year old will not drink from any sort of a cup. Tried everything available even resorted to bribery to no effect. Is there a cup out there that anyone knows off thats similar to a bottle. My heart is broken. She will beg for bottle until you give in. All suggestions greatly received. Thanks.

I am passed my due date! A week ago at my dr's appointment, I was not dilated at all and he expects to have to induce this week. However, all weekend I've had increased pressure on my vaginal area and rectum.. (not a pleasant thing to hear about, I know...)! My lower back and lower stomach has been aching constantly, and it almost feels like cramps. I've also had BH contractions ALL WEEKEND every 5-10 minutes, which makes my back hurt really really bad. Today I can barely walk because my back and lower stomach hurt sooo much. I'm still having the BH contractions too. I have a dr's appointment today, but I just wanted people's opinions on this. What could this mean? Did this happen to anyone else?

Thanks for your help, ladies!!

Mr. and Mrs. Whoever, I realize that the children will be in my care for 5 1/2 hours instead of 12 but I do not feel my duties are decreasing. I will have to feed and ready the children for school in the morning, and I will have to transport them there. I will have to be on call, should one of them get sick, or in trouble and need to be picked up. There will also be half days, and holidays. And you would like me to do their homework with them, correct? I don't feel that a $300 pay cut is fair. I feel that $_____ is a more reasonable number.

Okay-- I watch 3 kids aged 4, 4, and 7. They would like to go from paying me $1000, to paying me $700.
How does what I wrote sound? And what would YOU say is a reasonable number? Thanks for all the input.

My son is 7 and has a kid in his class who first threathened to beat him up at the playground and is now calling him gay. My son had no idea what that word mean, so another kid explained it to him and then two other kids starting chanting gay. My son was mortified and cried when he told me. I fired an e-mail to his teacher whom in turn told the vice principal. They sent the kid to the office and the vice principal addressed all the kids in the classroom about name calling. I told my son to stay away from those kids at all times. I thought that would be the end of it, but it is happening again. I fired up another e-mail to the teacher and waiting to see the result. My thing is, what is the best way to deal with such a thing. My son is nice, happy kid who loves people but I don't want his esteem to go down and start hating school.
