Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 September 2007

I'm nearly 28 weeks pregnant and had an ultrasound at 12 weeks then one at 21 weeks.

Is there usually another one before the baby is born?
If so what is it they look for most? Can they tell if the cord is around the neck and if the baby is engaged until birth.

My 1st child was born face up why wasn't this picked up until his head came out?

Sorry for so many questions, your answers are appreciated :)

just recently i received a phone call from my doctors office saying that my baby is in a breech position and wants to go over the ultrasound results with me on my next visit. He also ordered another ultrasound. I got really concerned because I mean at 21 weeks babies are still growing, still getting bigger, so its normal for beby to be breeched at 21 wks right? I am still freaked out. Its my first baby so I am freaking out. I called the nurse back and she said everythhing was fine. But its so early in pregnancy, why order another ultrasound to check my babys position? Is there something wrong???? I mean i feel my baby move non-stop...she's always moving. I just need opinions.

do i need to take classes or read books on breastfeeding? will i just automatically know how to do it? my mom keeps telling me that breast feedings easy and they make things too complicated now-a-days. she says it just comes natural and to not worry about it. did you do anything to prepare for breast feeding? did you have trouble with it?

My mom;s good friend did it with her kids, my mom did it with us...so whats the deal with the dark corn syrup in baby bottles? is it just for flavoring? or does it really help with gas, as this is waht I was told by both my mom and my mom's friend

this will be my second one and i'm 14 1/2 weeks... Everyone I tell that i'm having another u;trasound is concerened because this is the second one I will have... does anyone know what would be done or seen in this one? is there anyway to know now if i could find out the sex? Should I be concerened? when the dr said to schedule it he just said it was time for one...
the first one was done in confusion to my conception date. I thought I was further along (9 weeks) the doc thought I was further than that due to how I felt but the ultrasound showed I was only 6 weeks.... the dr said I felt bigger / further along because I am a little heavy set.

I had sex,and he *** while in me.we freaked out so we took paper towels and used them inside me as if they were tampons and pretty much dried my vagina out and then used a suction thing to sqirt water up as far in my vagina as possible and sucked it out as well and repeated the process a couple times.... does that lower my risk of being pregnant??

I'm due in about 7 weeks, I have my mind set on breastfeeding, the only thing is I'm in college, I'm only able to take 2 weeks off from school, I was told that you're supposed to pump every 2 hours or else there's painful soreness in your breasts, the problem is that I have 4 classes, meaning I have 4hours at school and only 10 mins between each class. Someone also told me that my body will regulate when it makes milk/how much it makes, but how long does that take?

Is there any way that I'll be able to breastfeed? Any advice would be helpful and very appreciated!

I'm not to into Mary Kay, Avon, having tupperware parties, etc. I don't like the idea of babysitting or starting up a day care. I would like to work online, if possible- but do not want to waste time taking surveys or getting scammed.
If anybody has some good advice on how to make money while taking care of my 1 year old, please let me know!
What are some of you stay at home moms doing to make money? Thanks!

I have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. Right now I have a double stroller the side by side type but I've come to not really like, I find it hard to shop getting in between the isles sometimes. I don't want a jogging stroller but one for just trips like the mall or zoo that kind of thing.

We have been trying for a little over a year now, and still no luck. I am hoping since it is the first time I have ever had a positive OPK, if it is going to happen. How likely do you think it might happen? Please wish me luck.

I am currently 18 years old & engaged & I'm ready to start a family after marriage. I might be starting college next year to become an R.N.. I figure if I go for L.P.N. first and get pregnant atleast half way through I'll have a job before the baby comes. But there is a problem. My fiancee wants to wait 4 years. I'm ready to have one NOW but I know I should wait until atleast half way through my 1 year of college.But he wants to be able to go out & stuff (so he's not ready). How do I convince him how ready I am & try to help him become ready for fatherhood?

Thank you.

Let me guess I am to young to be tied down? Please don't give me those answers I am not here to hear that I am here with a serious question.
Thank you!

Ah this is driving me crazy. I have yet to lose my mucus plug (been having a ton of mucus pass but no blood stained/pink tinged yet.) Been having vaginal pains as well, but no loss of mucus plug or water breaking. Could I have not noticed that I lost it (is that possible?) . I've also been really nauseous lately and my back has been really sore. Plus my belly is rock hard to the point of soreness as well. Could I deliver soon? What do you think is going on? Any advice would be great help. Sorry for all the silly questions, I'm a first time Mom :)

She is 5 weeks pregnant, and today the doctor said that the past week the baby didn't develop, still the same statistics as before. He said to wait till next week to see what happens.

Can everything be fine, is it normal???What can prevent it??? A natural abortion can cause (gonorrhea) something to my girlfriend???

PLEASE I'm so scared, worried and I want to have a baby, Does anyone knows about this or have any experience???

I want to find out if I am pregnant. Today is the first day of my missed period...with only like a minute of spotting this morning. The first day of my last period was Aug 14th. I had sex on Aug 26th...other than that, there has been no sex. I am supposed to start my period today (Sept 12th)...but no bleeding yet. I am tired, nauseous, and my breasts are very sore. I know I can take a pregnancy test, but I am going to go to a planned parenthood center tommorrow. I am impatient and just want any opinions! :) I am really wanting to be pregnant, and feel that this would be the greatest miracle of my life (if I am, indeed, pregnant)!

Chaya would be pronounced like kayak, not the Jewish pronunciation. My wife and I have agreed on Jean, but is Chaya too far out there. If you don't like it, give me another suggestion. It must start with C (our previous kids are A, then B), and Jean must be the middle name.

my baby is 7 1/2 weeks old. at bith he weighed 8lbs 7oz. when he went to the doctor at 1 month he weighed 13 1/2 lbs and pediatrician said his weight is off the charts.said he is healthy though just big.he is currently eating 4 oz but it doesnt satisfy him so he wants at least 5 every 2 hours. so i was told by doc to put some cereal in the bottle but he still eats every 2-3 hours 4 oz with the cereal. he cant even fit in his 3 month clothing hardly. is this too much? how do i keep him fuller longer? is this too early to introduce cereal on a spoon every once in a while? thanks

My son just ingested some baby lotion. Do not know how much. I was just wondering if he will be okay or if I need to be concerned.
