I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with my first, money has been really tight for my husband and I after I got laid off last year, as soon as I found out I was pregnant I began temping for a large university to pay the bills, for the past eight months it has been pretty lucrative, they just calle dme to ask if i wanted a year long position, but when i told them i was pregnant they said that they would probably have to place me somewhere after I had the baby because they need a temp that wont have any interruptions (Ex:6 weeks maternity leave) I am so frustrated!!! I have an interview today at the university for a fulltime position that i am extremely overqwualified for but I feel like it is just a waste of time because they are going to see the belly and not hire me. I know they cant discriminate but they can say that there were other reasons to not hire me. I am so stressed an d I feellike Im gonna cry I just want to go home and feel sorry for myself. I have some unemployment money left

My one week old daughter has been doing very well sleeping at night, untill last night that is. I held her for a while before she was asleep just stroaking her hair and talking gently to her she fell asleep so I put her in her bed to hopefully sleep the night away. 15 minutes later she was awake screaming so I fed her and burped her and changed her. She was calm untill I left her bedside. I ended up holding her ALL night because it was teh only thing that would keep her from crying. What might I have done wrong? What can I do to prevent this from happening again tonight? Any thoughts?

I had taken a pregnancy test and it was neg, threw it in my purse. When I went to throw it away a few hours later it was faintly pink in the pos area. Thought maybe evap line. Took two more yesterday morning and same exact thing happened. Neg and then a few hours later a light pink line showed up. I was wondering if it sounds like evap lines or maybe it took longer to devleop since my period isn't due for 5 more days. Sorry for all the questions, any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Has anyone used the home pregnancy test strips from the website "EarlyPregnancyTests.com" ? They came free with the stuff I ordered and I was wondering if they were really accurate. On the website they CLAIM to be the most accurate strip and can detect a very low level of HCG. Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this test and if it is worth retesting with something else if i got a negative result.

Do you really let your child poop and pee in public sinks and under trees? Would you want MY child to poop and pee in your sink or on your lawn? Is there any limit to your narcissism?

to feel baby move at 11 weeks pregnant???? I know some people will say that I am imagining it or something or that it is wind/gas but I have had bowel problems for most of my life and know this feeling was not gas/wind. It only lasted a minute or so but was like butterflies although very faint but noticeable. It stopped me mid conversation as it took me by suprise. Is there any other explaination for what it could have been???

Hi! I'm pretty close friends with a couple (in their early 30's) that is expecting their first child in a few weeks. It's a boy (as far as everyone knows). I think it would be better to get something for each of them as opposed to one gift for both of them. I was thinking about getting The Dangerous Book For Boys for him, although it probably won't be immediately useful for him/his son, I think it would see use in the future when the kid's older. From what I've seen of it, it seems like a good book for a traditional/outdoors type like my friend. I'm not really sure what to get his wife though, but I feel I should get her something. It's not that I don't know them well, it's just been a long time since anyone I know has had a baby and I don't want to get them something corny and generic. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

*By the way I'm a 22-year old dude, so please keep the suggestions "hetero." :) Thanks again.

Last week I posted several questions asking for advice concerning pregnancy. I felt certain that I was but took two hpts (both in midafternoon) saying negative. One was digital (the first one) and the second one was a dollar store brand... I've heard those work very good tho. I had extremely sore breasts, fatigue, and mood swings as well as constant hunger and just a feeling. I was over a week late. I doubt very strongly it was hoping because I really don't want a child right now (I'm only 20 and am much to busy to take care of a baby). Well, I talked to my partner's mom Fri and she told me to take asprin for an ongoing headache. I took 2 and 6 hours later 2 more- it didn't go away. Sunday nite I started bleeding very light pink (only on TP). Then Monday morn a brown discharge started (dry). This has continued on into today and is accompanied by severe cramps. My question: I just heard asprin is bad for you when pregnant? Could it have caused an early term miscarriage?

My daughter stopped drinking formula at 11 months old. She started walking well around the same time. Now she is running! She has lost weight during all this. She is not unhealthy thin, but has lost weight to where she actually fits into 12 month old clothes where she was wearing 18 month at times. I am concerned about this. She was a big baby at birth, 8pds. 13 oz. We go to the doctor for a check up in 2 days, but I was just wondering if anyone else's child has done this, lost weight when they started walking/came off formula and began drinking whole milk-eating solid food?

I heard from my teacher that western countries like United States allow parents to apply IUD, which is a temporary contraceptive methods to their daughters as this is to prevent them for getting pregnant if they perform any sexual intercourse.

What do you think about this parents? Is it really good to apply IUD for daughters or to teach them never perform sex intercourse with people? Do you find it bad about this?

My 4 yr old daughter was an only child until her sister was born 6 months ago. We've definitely spoiled her with material things, but I always felt that I was pretty tough on her otherwise. Still, she refuses to do anything that she doesn't want to do. She screams at the top of her lungs and tells me that she is not going to to do whatever I'm asking her to do at the time. We've tried rewarding her for good behavior and punishing her for bad behavior in the form of timeouts, loss of toys, going to bed early, etc. I don't believe in capital punishment for my family and will not budge on that issue, but I'm open to any other suggetions. Do other 4 yr olds act like this? What do I do?

So there are 2 other women at my job that are pregnant and we are all very friendly with each other. We are also all Diet Coke addicts (self-diagnosed, of course!). We all know that soda is not something that you should drink much of at all during pregnancy. Well, the other day, one woman bought a can of Diet Coke and 3 glasses of ice and we were sitting in the cafeteria. We split the can three ways so what is that -- like 3 or 4 gulps per person. As we sat there with our salads and fruit and a completely healthy menu and bottles of water.

An older woman passed by and was appauled. She said that we are going to make our children unhealthy and that if we cannot even sacrifice our desires for 9 months then what kind of parents will we be. We all just sat there with our mouths open that she would have the audacity to say that. I am 9 1/2 weeks and that was my first soda--4 gulps.

Has anyone gone the entire 9 months and not given into one "bad" pleasure? (soda, salt, etc).
