I am watching a friends son to today and have been once a week for a couple of months now. At first he was a well behaved and polite. I guess the more time he is with me the more comfortable he is so his behavior is changing. Anyway I have a two year boy and this other child is almost 4. Well several times now I have heard my two year old crying the real I am hurt cry. I run to the playroom to find my two year old on the floor holding his arm. I asked the other child what happened and he plainly told me he pulled my son out of the chair because it was his seat and when my son started crying the other boy put his hands over my sons mouth to keep me from hearing him cry. Several incidents like this make me not want to let mine out of my sight. I aloso have 8 month old that requires lots of attention.
Time out does not seem to work. If he was mine a couple swats on the butt would do the trick.
Any suggestions as he is not my child so I know I can not spank him.

7/20-7/25th Period. 7/27 Condom broke took Plan B 2 hours after. 8/2 Light spotting. (Side effect of Plan B) That lasted for about four days. 8/10 Took hpt. Negative. That night, I got my period..I think..it was lighter than usual but lasted for 4 days, very heavy at times, filled up tampons. 8/14 Day period ended, took hpt. Negative. I wasn't due for my period till 8/17, but plan B made it come early....I think..unless that wasn't my period. I took another test on 8/17. Negative. Took another test 8/21 and 8/22. Both negative. I know I sound paranoid, but I've heard that tests can be wrong, and that you can have your period when your pregnant. I don't really feel any symptoms, except I have a whitish discharge, normal if I'm ovulating right now, I have a very regular schedule. That blood I had for 4 days was my period right? And these tests are accurate, especially after 4 weeks after conception? I know your not doctors, but I just need advice. Birth control will be MINE a.s.a.p. = ]

Ive heard it all, TTC - should have sex every day, every other, wait until ovulation and then every 48hrs
Ive also read the articles that contradict eachother... if you have intercourse every day I know that there isnt as potent of semen but I would think it wouldnt matter because there would be that much more... Any proof either way is more likely to get you to conceive?

If your neices and nephews were secerely destructive with your childs things would you ask them to bring their own toys when visiting....Assuming in this situation thier parents just say..oh we will replace that...and never do...and assuming your child takes care of her toys and is very upset by the children breakign them for amusement.....this isnt something happening i'm just wondering what others would do in this situation..because I would not have any problem asking the kids to bring their own toys

On my last months period, I had unprotected relations with my bf on the third day of my period. He did finish in me. It was kind of an accident, but I didn't worry because I was on the period. Then my friend said I could still get pregnant.

So I worried all month, until my period came right on schedule ( i am more or less regular) . It was a normal heavyish flow and all that, had cramps and moodyness, but then it ended abruptly on day 4 (sometime yesterday) !! I usually last 6 days or more. Do periods oten tend to cease like that? usually mine tapers off and then ends. Will it pick up again? Is it too soon to tell?

I am so worried now and I am about to take a HPT test tomorrow morning. But I need some avdvice or somsething because I am sooo nervous. Could I be preggers or am I just being over the top ner vous and scared. I cant be a mom. I can hardly afford to feed myself.

I started my pregnancy at 115 lbs. I'm 5'4" and petite. My weight gain has been right on target...between 3-4 pounds a month. I just came back from doctor's office and I gained 11 pounds during the past 4 weeks...11 pounds!!! My scale at home and the scale at the doctor's office match sometimes and sometimes they don't. For example, during my last visit, I weighed 129 at home but I weighed 125 at the doctor's office. But this morning, I weighed 136 at home and 136 at the doctor's office. Anyways...my clothes are not any tigher and it only looks like i'm carrying weight on my belly and boobs. I'm so depressed about the 11 pounds. I'm 26 weeks by the way. Has this ever happened to anyone? I need some encouraging words...Thanks!!!

HOW have you survived?? I can't even think about that. I'm already going insane. I'm driving myself to tears here, just anticipating.....who came up w/ this insane design, to have an entire MONTH b/f we can know?!?!!?
I read all the questions/comments from women/girls who got pregnant when they weren't even trying....why can't I have it? I want it, they don't, it's not fair! I'm just really bummed right now.

This is my second pregnancy and I had suffered from same probem last year during my first baby. I was induced at 36 weeks of pregnancy but my baby could not survive. She has asphyxia ( though docs say it has nothing to do with BP). I am realy scared now. I had some parties at home, maybe I over-exerted and hence have a high BP? Can it get back to normal once it has elevalted? Most important - Can a low salt diet reduce my BP? I am really worried, pls suggest any remedies. I work from home so dont go to office. I am 29 years of age. Want to be really really cautious this time. Anyone facing same problem? Will this harm my baby? Pls help

Have you seen these Pampers size 7 they have now.
They don't look like they are made for babies.
Unless it's a very big baby.
My daughter was small and was in a size 3 when she potty trainned.
I just wondered if anyone actually had a baby big enough to need them?
