His doctor said to try some baby food, but he is pushing the spoon out with his tongue. Is this a sign that he is just not ready?

I'm really into having a natural home birth, do you have to have a doula or midwive? This may be a dumb question but I'm really unsure about how to go about a home birth, can anyone tell me how it works or any expiriences? Thanks!

I got test results for gestational diabetes and 1 hour sugar test was too high. I have changed my diet and am eating better than ever,more vegitables, and friuts, even whole wheat bread instead of the white bread I used to eat.Now I have to take another test for three hours to where I can not eat after midnight the night before.No problem, but why is this happenig. I read some doctors now days just perform more csections than ever.What for to get more money.If the next test comes back too high i will swicth doctors if they say my baby is too big and might need surgery.I will switch to midwife if I have too!!! I wont be subbjected to surgery or what they did with my first born.The pitocin,vacum,episiatamy, too much invasion.It is not natural.Why is my diet not working do I have to give up the occassional chocolate,and practically starve to get better test results?

Anybody else get really cold sometimes? We're in the middle of an August heatwave here and yet I get freezing cold quite often inside and have to wear a sweater. I noticed this happening since I got pregnant. Any idea what's going on?

I am tired of my family asking me when I am going to start having babies. I haven't thought of one comeback that will stop them from asking. If I say that I am not ready their response is that you are never ready. Please Help!

ok so last Thursday i slept with this one guy, we did use a condom but to tell ya the truth we werent incredibly concerned about safety,like when putting it on and stuff.
i have not missed my period, i usually get it at the end of the month or beginning of the month
i also am going to be honest about me taking several different illegal drugs during my life time and every day, so there was definantly a mixture of drugs in my system but the only thing i have done that day is smoke pot/cigs, and no other drugs.
there are no real symptoms of me being pregnant because i cant really determain symptoms while taking drugs.
if i dont get my period in the next 2-3 weeks then ill get a preg test. Im still gona worry till the day i get my period (or sadly if i dont =[), and i wanted to know if you could name any street drugs that would make it harder to get preg, and i can see if ive done it just to be a lil less worried.
thanx...

I will be having my first baby very soon and my mom is offering to come stay and help us. She can come and stay about a week the day I come home or a few days later... which is most helpful? I don't know if it is best for my husband and I to have some alone time together with the new baby and sort of figure things out for ourselves or have her here to help answer all our questions. I'm also a little worried about feeling smothered and needing some space after spending a few days in the hospital and the up and downs of my emotions.

Which scenario have you mothers found most helpful?

I have chosen a close acquaintance to adopt my baby. I know she will be able to provide the kind of life for this child that I know I cannot at this time.

I am the mother of a two year old and I am 9 weeks into this pregnancy.

So, what do I do now? What challenges am I sure to face?

Her biggest fear is that I will change my mind, like many people do. What can I do to reassure her? Should I wait a while before bringing it up again or should I just state firmly that this is what I have decided and I am sure?

The Emergency section of the hospital are sending sick pregnant women away because they say "THey have not got the facilities" even though the best place for a sick pregnant women is a hospital where they can check blood pressure, temperature, monitor the baby's movements and if there is something wrong bundle them into an ambulance. I see a political issue about to errupt of some woman and her baby dies because this hospital negated its duty of care.
I am going to write to my local paper - whats your views

We thought we were having a baby girl before my ultrasound said we were having a boy. Now my mind is set on the fact that our son will be here soon but even though the ultrasound said BOY my fiance still think we are having a girl. Has anyone been told that they were having a girl/boy and it turned out different?

So I had some brown discharge and minor cramping about 2 weeks ago (I was 6 weeks) and went to the doctor. He did a sonogram...we saw the sac and he told me that he though e everything was okay but that the 1st trimester is difficult so that I needed to just take it easy. I have done that. This morning - I am now 8 weeks - I had more discharge. I was scared but I have an appt tomorrow for another ultrasound to see the baby's heartbeat. I just went to the bathroom and had a bit of discarge but there was also what looked like a bit of lining or something. Nothing that was globby (sorry for details) but it looked like a small piece of brown lining. Do you think I need to go to ER (my doctors office closes at 4pm on Mondays) or just wait for my appt tomorrow afternoon? If it is a miscarriage, there is nothing that can be done, right?

Has anyone else experienced this? I could use some encouraging words right now. Thanks,.

I'm currently almost 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I'm just wondering when you all had your bellies pop out with your first? I'm only 5'3... and my mid-section is short and thin, so I didn't figure the baby will have much room to grow in there before it did pop out. Right now I just have a more pronounce pudge below my belly button.

When did your baby bump become pronounced?

My 3 1/2 year old son is potty trained and has no trouble using the potty, but for the last three weeks he has been peeing and pooping in the same corner of his room. I have asked him why he does it, and he says "because I want to". I have talked about where it is okay to potty with him and have warned him and subsequently punished him in several ways ie taken away privelages, time out, etc. but the problem continues. Does anyone have any ideas??? I am at the end of my rope...

The kids are doing a little 'get to know me' thing, and they have to bring in things they like. My son is VERY into army men, but I wonder if it is OK to let him bring this to school, with the whole 'zero tolerence' thing going on.
