Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 August 2007

My sister is having triplets and she wants me to name them all. She wants unique and not common names. There will be 2 girls, and 1 boy. I was thinking of these names

Girl 1: Tanisha Jolene (pronounced Ta-nee-sha)
Girl 2: Nivaney Anne (pronounced Niv-a-nee)
Boy: Haydrien Nicholas (pronounced Hay-dree-en)

what do you think?

When I used to read about ladies during their TWW who couldn't wait, I thought "what's the big deal?" It's JUST two weeks! My gosh was I WRONG!!! (lol) This two week wait is killing me! I keep telling myself to stay away from the internet, Yahoo Answers, other forums/blogs.....but just can't help it! I'm going insane! Is it just me? Is anyone going thru this right now? I'm just 5dpo and can't wait almost 9-10 more days.......

ARRRGHHHHHH!!!

** Sorry, just had to let this all out. :)

I just had my first baby 8 months ago and now am pregnant with the second. I know they recommend like a year before getting pregnant again. We were using the bcp and everything so it wasnt planned but my husband and I are still happy about it. What I wanted to know is does anyone know what the risks are to not only mother but baby as well if there isnt a year buffer between pregnancies? Should I be scared? I am worried that my body wont heal normally this time or something could go really wrong during delivery. My first was healthy and beautiful so there is no history of trouble during labor. By the way I am only 20 so I know I am not at as much of a risk as an older woman would be in my situation. What am I in for?? :S

I have read online that "taking" ginger during pregnancy could be harmful. I assume that they are talking about ginger supplements but I was wondering if there is any kind of caution advised about ginger powder like one would use in cooking. I like to make stirfry often and use quite a bit of ginger powder to season it. Is this safe or should I stop using it. If it is safe is there any amount that is recommended that one should not exceed during pregnancy?? I am about six weeks along if that matters. Thanks so much:)

first off i understand that all babies are blessing but some people make mistakes. but what i want to know, is if you are or were a teenage mom (younger than 18) were you happy when you got pregnant, or were you embarassed.
i ask because my 15 yr old cousin is pregnant and she is braging about it, and i think she should keep quiet about it and she is wanting to marry the babies daddy who is 17, i dont think they should split up but i dont think they should marry just because she is pregnant. what do yall think!

My 4 weeks baby is on Alimentum because she had blood in her stool before... and she's on that formula for 2 weeks already . Today she has blood in stool again . I thought the Alimentum is really light so my baby should not be bleeding. I called the doctor already but I have to wait until tomorrow to get her check up.

I am the mother of five, and due soon for our sixth baby. For four of the five I woke up during the night in labor, and for the fifth it came on slower, throughout the morning while I was doing light housework. I'm just curious how common it is to wake up in labor, as opposed to having it start during the day. My water has always broken at the hospital, hours into labor, but if yours broke without warning, what were you doing when it happened? Thanks for sharing.

Okay, I tried posting this question in the diabetic section but only one guy answered me and I think he was just being a jerk. I had a blood test done simply for insurance purposes. At the time I had no clue I was even pregnant. Actually the test took place about two days after I would have concieved. So I don't think my pregnancy had anything to do with the results. The test said everything was normal but my fasting glucose level was low. It was 50 when the range should have been 60 plus. (the guy told me that meant I would be suffering brain damage but I don't really think that is true because then he made a comment about blondes being stupid) What exactly does this mean? Should I mention it to my obgyn at my next appt.?

My new baby is almost 3 days old and was born about 2 weeks early. She is so sleepy and never wants to wake up. I knew she would be somewhat but not this much. I'm beginning to worry. She only wakes up enough to eat and falls right to sleep after burping. Does this sound normal? We don't even hear a peep out of her the rest of the time.

Just because they are pregnant they have to act like they are handicap! I am seriously! Why would you not be able to heat up left overs while pregnant??!!!??? Why wouldn't you be able to take a bath while 6 weeks pregnant?!??! The only time you can not take a bath is when your water is broken!!!!! Or a very hot one!!!
Why in the world would you not be able to eat a piece of pepperoni pizza??? Why would you not be able to watch fireworks while pregnant?!?? Why wouldn't you be able to drive a car while 6 weeks pregnant??? Why wouldn't someone be able to swim in a pool?

I can see asking what medicines they can or can't take? or if they could eat sushi? But not some of the questions I have seen!
I am sorry for going on and on and I know some of you that have asked these questions will get mad and say rude things, but if you have to ask those questions your opinion doesn't really matter to me! Sorry!
I am 20 weeks pregnant and I don't feel handicap! Why do some of you at 6 weeks?!

I am at my wits end.....my toddler has been especially difficult since turning two (note: he has always been an unusually difficult baby). Lately i cannot do anything with him in public without him throwing major tantrums - screaming, crying, hitting, biting, the whole nine yards. i am a single parent so leaving him at home with a spouse is not an option - i have to go grocery shopping and he has to come along - any tips on how to deal would be very very appreciated

My best friend had sex on Aug. 16, she is now having pain in her right abdomen and in her right ovary, could she be pregnant? She went to the hospital and got a CT scan, could this tell if she is pregnant, she also got her blood and her urine tested. She only had sex about 2 wks ago so is it 2 early for the CT scan to pick it up?

Go to www.seattlechildrens.org This is the link for Seattle Children's Hospital. There is a story on their home page about a study that links a abnormality in the newborn hearing test and babies that die from SIDS. All babies that died from SIDS that were part of this study ALL had the same problem that came up on the test. This could be a major breakthrough in SIDS research. PLEASE read the article and find out what the results of your baby's hearing test is.

I know this vain, but I hate it! My Clothes don't fit. I feel like the 500lbs woman you see at the fair. I'm having triplets. I look like I'm 6 mos, but really only 3 1/2 mos. David my husband told me there is more to love. I used to be a size 0. Now I wear a 12. I feel huge! He is blind and loves me no matter what! Any way I can feel better about myself? We already have triplets from the first pregnancy!

My son, Will was kidnaped years ago. The person who kidnapped him went out for good conduct. Now, we've been recieving phone calls that are threatening to take him again? Also e-mails and other stuff?

Also, how can I tell him that, specially when he hasn't wanted to TALK to us after an incident that happened yesterday? Notified police, but they say its intraceable because it always occurs from a different location?

HELP, PLEASE, I'M GETTING VERY SCARED. CALLS ARE ANY TIME OF THE DAY!

i am a mother of a 7 year old and 10 year old. for the past 5 years they(at least the 10yr old) have been wearing uniforms when attending a catholic school. now my kids will be attending a public school where no uniforms are used. i just found out that kids are thought of as "poor" if they wear uniforms??? why? i dont get it. since when are kids considered poor, different or outcasts because they wear uniforms? ENLIGHTEN ME!!! i think these ideas are bogus and stupid and dumb!! i will make my kids wear the uniforms because they look: sharp, uniformed, and clean cut (and them being boys, it is easier to select their daily clothing. as i write this, i know that my 2 children and i will compromise and reach an agreement. however. i request your ideas, so that i can better understand this issue. thank you.

My husband Tom and i are expecting a boy and we haven't found any names we really like. We have a one year old named john ryan he was named after my father and toms father because they both have the same name. We dont like the adin names for example jayden kaden braiden. We were concidering Jefferson but it sounds like a last name to me. Well any suggestions would be apreciated. Last name is Quinn.
