Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 September 2007

I have heard lots of horror stories about women loosing continence for weeks after giving birth normally whilst having ulcerative colitis, due to the pressure of pushing excessively on the bowel. I am considering asking my consultant for an elective section. Was just wondering had anyone any knowledge of this?

You can just pick the ones you think will be nice. Other children are Eliza Jasmine and Isaac Matthew.

For girls...
Aimée
Ashlee
Camryn/Kamryn
Casey/Kasey
Ebony
Hailey/Haley
Hannah
Jaymee
Jemma
Kara
Kate
Zara
Zarah
Zoe
Zoey

For boys....
Cade
Kade
Jayson
Jackson/Jaxon
Luca
Luka
Lucas
Lukas

Our surname is long so shorter first names work well. And coincedentally mine, hubbys and first 2 kids all have 5 letters in our names. This was not on purpose, just worked out that way but it would be nice to keep to that but not essential.
Also I love Zoe but its my MIL's dogs name, do you think that would be too weird? and one of our friends has a son name Jaxon, do you think its not a good idea to give our child the same name, maybe different spelling (Jackson), or depends on if the other parents care?

Probably want Kate (grandmother thats dying) for a middle name for a girl but unsure of a boys middle name.

Im a mommy of two young boys who are 9 months and almost three years old. Im just curious to know what age most people consider to be inappropriate for a mommy to be naked in front of her sons or for a daddy to be naked in front of his daughters. Most mommies I know tell me that the cut off point is when kids start asking questions about physical gender differences. What do you think and why. No immature answers please.

i've been having a few contractions lately but i have no idea when to call the hospital.

sometimes they can become really close (5 min. apart) yet stop for awhile then continue at different times. it's starting to hurt and i also have back pains, yet because the contractions "wear off" i don't call the hospital or anything.

they say that you should call when the contractions are "too hard to even talk through" and i haven't had ones like that yet but i have had a few that were pretty painful (i'm guessing really strong bh).

i'm posting because i want to know WHEN IS A GOOD TIME TO CALL THE HOSPITAL and WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR FIRST FELT TRUE CONTRACTIONS? this question goes out to the preggo mamas who've already been through it.

39 weeks, 5 days.

My other children are Eliza and Isaac so I kinda like the s-z-c & k sounds. I also like Zara for a girl but am stuck on other girl names and anything for a boy (not zachary for obvious reasons) that sort of fits this mold. Open to other ideas too.

(really don't like Grace, Lily, Rose, Hope, Faith etc..)

Any suggestions?

I think I may be preg. Havent taken the test yet, may just be wishful thinking. But my hubby and I were discussing names. We want to go with an H name. We have a son named Heath and a daughter named Hope. Might as well stick with the theme, right?

For a boy I was thinking Harley Mackenzie (both are family names)

For a girl Holiday Hannah (Hannah is a family name)
What do you think?

I am 12 and I live with my adopted mom, who looked after me since I was 8, she is 29.
I am not allowed to watch r rated movies.

I have to go to bed at 8:30.

My mom lets me shower or bathe my self but after im done she comes and slathers like 100 pumps of lotion on me herself to make my skin smooth and checks to see if my hair is washed.

she wont let me play M rated games and she does not let me go over 4 blocks without her.


Is my mom a little overprotective or is this normal for her to do?
I told her if i can have my privacy and if i can go outside but she said its my job as a mom to do these things.

what do you guys think?

In the later part of the afternoon and the evenings she complains and she even cries because she says it hurts so bad. She has been complaining about this for almost a year, I thought maybe its growing pains. Could this something more serious. oya she is a drama queen so the smallest thing she extremely overdoes the hurting act. She is 9 yrs old.

The major catastrophe of the evening, the cleaning lady was here today. My son has a Noah's ark with five animals for his bath (he is four) and the lion was missing. Mid bath he came out frantically wanting his "Line" (I dis need my line...)
It took me a long time to figure out what a "line" was. "What do you mean a line?" He finally showed me his ark and I realized his "lion" was missing from the bunch. I had to call cleaning lady after looking for five minutes. Found it. Bath continued, added more warm water. Phew. Ever happen to you? Touchy, touchy.

How are you gonna know whether you're pregnant with a baby boy or girl? Some old ppl saying, if you love to eat crackers, then its a baby girl and if you love heavy food, its a baby boy. I find it ridiculous, pls share your thoughts. Thks.

My parents named me Kahli which is prounounced like Carly. I also have a friend whose name is Carly & she is forever spelling it, as am I. Why is there not one traditional way to spell this name? I always thought Carly was the traditional way, but according to my friend, she always gets "C or K?" "Ey or Y" etc.
Do you know of any other name have this many variations to spelling?...
Carly, Carley, Carli, Carlie, Carlee
Karly, Karley, Karli, Karlie, Karlee, Kahli, Kahlie?

I know this sounds funny. It is not a joke. She just complained to me about how flat she is tonight. She is 5'7, 130lbs, 38b. I have expressed to her that she is not done growing. I don't know what else to say to her other than that and to be patient. I told her that she can't compare herself to other girls because everyone is different.
I guess I am asking the mom's out there that have teen daughters, would you say the same? How else would you have handled this?
Serious answers please, I don't have time for stupid answers.
Thanks!
