Pregnancy & Parenting - 10 September 2007

My lil girl is 5 1/2 months she is cutting two teeth (the both have broken through at the same time) and possibly another is coming in. She has had Diahrrea for 4 days now, It is very watery and kinda orange she is poohing about 6+ times a day, but she is not fussy or crying, as a matter of fact she is still laughing and playing like normal, everyone is telling me it is just normal with teething not to worry about her. But I am worried about her dehiderating, I started giving her Pedia Light yesterday (even though I have not spoken to her Dr. Is this ok too) Did any of your children do this while teething? As long as she is still peeing regularly then she is ok with fluids right? At what point do you think I should take her to her Dr.

Sorry I know there are a lot of questions here, but I am a 1st time mom, and I dont have my mom to ask these types of questions to...

Thanks

I finally got past my chicken-ness and took a pregnancy test on Saturday. BFN, just as I suspected. So, all my spotting is just a strange AF.

Looking forward to trying again next month.

my last period was July 23, 07 I had a transvirgina ultrasound that showed I have pcos on August 31, my dr gave me metformin to take along with provera, he said my uterus linning was thick enough for my period to come so I should be expectin my period real shortly after the last provera pill, today is the 6th day after the last provera, I was wondering could I still ovulate late even if my last period was in July?

The wife decided it was a good idea to look after a couple of kids as shes not working at the min and it would be some money, Anyway I really really hate it, We have 2 kids of our own and they all get on well, One of the kids is a little baby and doesn't give much trouble, the other is a 5 year old and really needs to learn some manners, child or not he's a complete tool, Even the look of him is hilarious, he has big ears like satellite dishes, big buck teeth, the kid was definitely tarred with the ugly brush.

I come in and have my dinner, he just sits in a constant stair looking at you eat which is really off putting, he comes out with smart remarks like my wife offered him a drink of orange juice, his response was "No I don't want your stinking juice" he tries to get my youngest in to trouble, child or not I really detest him, he really needs to learn manners.

My wife just takes his **** where as I be smart back to to him, whats the best way to handle this situation?

Hi there, ive just turned 35 weeks and today i think i have lost part of my mucus plug - it was clear with no colour etc but i'm a bit concerned as i have placenta previa and am booked for a c section in 3weeks time. I know if i have a bleed i have to go into hospital and have been told i will have to stay in. I called the hospital today to let them know whats happened and they said just 'go careful'????
Should i look out for anything else - what usually follows after this happening? when should i get concerned? Please help ive been a nervous wreck throughout this pregnancy!
Thanks in advance x

Ok, we love the name Lily but are afraid it is going to be too popular in 2008. Its still our favorite, but are trying to come up with some alternatives. Madeline is our middle name, as it has family meaning. What do you think of:

Lily Madeline
Avery Madeline
Lucy Madeline
Riley Madeline


I also love the names Zoe and Maya, but our last name is very Gaelic sounding and I don't think they go together well.

This is the line that goes down the middle of your abdomen. Also, does it just appear overnight or gradually?

I am totally confused by rice cereal. We are ready to start solids and I know I am supposed to start with cereal because it is easy to digest and has nearly no allergic potential. How am I supposed to mix the stuff? How long is she supposed to take it before we introduce other solids? Any other tips?

Hi I'm Jonty(Jonathan) Rhodes(not the cricket player). My wife Nathalie and I are expecting our first in a couple weeks. I'm South African and my wife is Australian so we decided not to have an Afrikaans name for the baby so it would be easier for my inlaws to pronounce. Oh yeah we don't live in the US, we live in South Africa.It's a baby boy so we've picked out a list of names. They are:

Brendon Dave
Brent Sebastian
Lleyton Brent
Trenton Jack
Nickolas Robbie
Jaron Trent
Abraham Benjamin (AB)
Damien Harrison
Kevin Peter
Stuart Christopher (Stuey)
Shaun Hayden
Lance Xavier
Simon Adam
Bryan Xavier
Graeme Stephen(after both grandfathers of the child)
Marcus Lleyton (Markie)
Joel Finn (after a really close friend and his baby son who passed away in the South-East Asia Tsunami Disaster)

Please tell us which ones you like. Oh yeah and our last name is Rhodes. Thanks to everyone in advance.

I really would like to continue breasfeeding my baby.. he is now 1 month old.. i was planning to do so until he is 3 or 4 months old... i am stacking up on breastmilk. (freezing it).. for when i decide to stop he will still have breastmilk..
anyways.. i dont have that much milk.. or it seems to me that i dont.. ( i only pump out 2 oz out of one breast and 0 oz out of the other).. i am not sure why this happens
I have been taking fenugreek pills./ drinking lots of water . and it hasnt really done anything.. (atleast i havent noticed any change)..
I am still pumping out the same amount as i did before..
Also .. if i am breast feeding my son and he falls asleep then wakes up and is hungry again isnt that a sighn he isnt getting enough?..
i dont know what to do ..
and i really dont want to stop..
please any advice

I was with a woman for two weeks and one day we had for first time sex and we didnt use a condom... Now she is two months pregnant... I have no problem with this because I really love her and so she does. I think she is my other half and we will soon marry but... since she is pregnant can we still have sex? If not anal what other ways are to pleasure sexually ourselves?

My son really doesnt stay awake very long. I would say about 30 mins at a time. He is breastfeeding and really doesnt cry all that often. I just think he sleeps a whole lot. I try to keep him up before and after he eats. I know that they need a whole lot of sleep but I also know he should be awake a little more than what he is. He doesnt have his days and nights mixed up He will go almost 6 hours at night between feedings. When should I be worried about his amount of sleep?

My friends told me that when she takes off her diaper after going in it that she is ready to be potty trained. She also tells me when she goes poop. Do you think she's ready to be trained or should I wait a while? Also if anyone has any good tips for making this easier I would be grateful.

my friend's baby was born with a large lump on the side of her head, doctor said it's normal, the lump hasn't grown, yet hasn't shrunk (the baby is now 5 weeks old). Did anyone else have or know someone who had a baby who was born with a lump but it later dissappeared? If so, how long did it take to dissappear? I'm trying to find out how often this occurs and is it really "normal/ok" like the doctor said. Serious answers only, I have no problem reporting abuse and stupidity.

I just began charting and I am familiar with Webwomb and Fertility Friend. I brought the BBT and I have started this past Sat. The first time it was 96.9, 98.7 yesterday, and this morning 97.5.My periods are irregular, so I am going from the first day of my last period on Aug 30th. So 14 days would be on Sept 13th. This morning I was laying under the fan and I pulled the covers off before I took my temp but I wasnt thinking! Does that make a difference? Can you only take your temp once a day?On site I read said you can take it again if you have rest for a straight 3 hours with no movement. Is this true? Please advise.
