Pregnancy & Parenting - 10 September 2007

My fiance is that best guy in the world but he is also bi-polar. I love him to death. But he scares me sometimes because he will go into his bi-polar mood at he will be pissed at everyone.and he usually takes it all out on me. He has punched me in my face before, and given me a black eye and made my nose bleed. I used to have several bruises on my arms and my body from where he punches me sooo much. He has not done it as much as he used to, cause i think he is starting to realize what he is doing to me and to our relationship. but used to almost every single time he would get angry at me, would be while we were in the car, and i was driving. And he would usually hit me while i was driving...it scares me that one day he will cause us to wreck and kill ourselves. He loves me & i know he does and he has seen several psycologists but none of the medicine helps control his moods and one day he wants to have a family. and i have told him that he needs to control himself. Any1 with advice Hlp

It seems the guidelines are all over the place and they seem different than formula. Some sources say pitch an unfinished bottle, some (like Medela) say it is OK to put a partially used bottle of breast milk back in the fridge. What do you do? How long will you keep a bottle out and in use? When might you put it back in the fridge?

Okay, my five-year-old has started kindergarten and is having a REALLY REALLY REALLY hard time sitting and doing what he's supposed to be doing. His teacher is great, but he's going over to the beanbag chairs while he's supposed to be in circle time and talking out, going "Look at me, I'm in the beanbag chair!" He's not being argumentative, he's not mean to other people, he's not even purposely disrespectful, he just can't seem to stay at one thing for more than four seconds at a time.

After having a meeting with the teacher, the counselor and the principal, I'm okay with putting him on a trial run of ADHD medication, if he's even diagnosed (my friend, a psychologist, thinks he will be) to see if it helps.

I don't like the idea of giving my kid medicine that isn't for an actual medical ailment, but I also don't want him to hate school or fall behind because he can't focus on anything.

Which name would be better as a sister for Maddison?
Maddison is already here, so her name CANNOT be changed... and we call her Maddie...
these are the options for baby 2 name:

Gabrielle (Gabbie) or Abbey (not Abigail)...

some people were saying Maddie rhymes with Gabbie/Abbey but it DOES NOT.

I would just like to know which is better out of Gabrielle (Gabbie) or Abbey.. no other name suggestions please!

How long after your baby's first step did he/she walk? My 9 month old girl just took her first unassisted step and kept her balance! I'm so happy! But how long do I have before I have to put my running shoes on?

I know i asked this already before but I want some more opinions im sooo anxious...
ok this is my first child...my due date is september 22nd, I lost my mucous plug 2 nights ago and some still comes out and since ive been having irregular contractions about 7 minutes apart...is it still to early for me to go into labor or could it be anytime now?

P.S. ....some of you said go to the hospital..I forgot to include that i went there the following day after i lost my mucous plug becuase i had bad cramps not know ing they were contractions and they were 7-8 minutes apart they sent me home and told me to come back when they are 5 minutes apart or if my water breaks...also my contractions i dont really feel all day they are strong at night and in the morning...maybe i dont feel them during the day becuase im moving around or something i dont know

One of my absolute favourite boy names is Sage David (David after my dad). I know some people say Sage is a girl's name but I knew a little boy named Sage a few years ago and it suited him so well.

What do you think of Sage? And do you like the combo Sage David?

my mom was a single mother with 3 children (but that's only because she divorced). My mom's name was Kim, and my name is Klaire, my brother's name is Kyle, and my sister's name is Kristen. But, since I am a single mother right now, and I am about to have a child. I was thinking about going with the letter "K" because that is the first initial of my family. I am having a girl, so I was thinking of either naming her Katrina ,Katelynn, or Kimberly. What do you think. Her middle name will either be Marie or Alison. I will except suggestions with the names that start with "K" and some middle names. Nothing too unusual, but I do want unique. Thank You!

I've been on birth control pills for almost a year now.. but I recently found out I had a bladder infection so the doctor prescribed me antibiotics... My period was a few days late because the antibiotics mess with the pills..I got my period 2 days after I finished my antibiotics and I had sex on the 3rd day of my period, even though it was very very light. The next day I spotted a little bit but not much at all. I know that antibiotics can cancel out the bc pills, but im wondering what are my chances of being pregnant? even if i was on my period..
