My 2.5 year old go into ex-lax yesterday while the babysitter was here. After process of elimination I determined she ate about 6 pieces. Called poison control and they said she might have nausea and vomitting, but deffinently diarrhea. Well she was fine when we put her to bed, then this morning she woke up and in the middle of the night without waking up she has diarrhea all over herself, her bed and in her hair. It was so gross.
question is anyone know how long she will have the diarrhea?

Oh BTW the babysitter was let go, because she was obviously not watching the child, as the child had to get through a child lock that would have taken her a long time to get through. The sitter was on the phone to boyfriend.

On the 8th, the first day after intercourse on the 7th, I spotted very, very little. I also had a very light pinkish discharge that lasted the 8th and 9th. My body just feels different. I know it's early, but I know my body and things just aren't right. I'm peeing a lot. I'm getting stretch marks on my breasts and my actual nipples are a bright pink and my areolas are a dark brown and I'm getting bumps on them. My boobs tingle. My lower abdomen also has a tingling sensation. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the past few days I have found tiny blood particles in my urine after I wipe. Very little. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms when they were pregnant and I need all the information I can get. Some women say that they have had similar symptoms 2-3 weeks after conception and others don't get them until they are much further along. Please, I am 18 years old and I just would like a second opinion or anyone who knows or has been here before. Thanks.

After school the other day, my 11 year old daughter and I immediately went to a local YMCA to swim. As we changed into our swimsuits I noticed she was not wearing underwear. I was alarmed by this and asked her why. She said that she was just in a big rush in the morning, very tired, and just forgot to put them on. I accepted her answer and told her that she needs to wear underwear when out in public, but I am concerned that these troubled celebrity girls (Lindsay Lohan, Brittney Spears, and Paris Hilton) are somehow making it "cool" to just flash your private parts around. It is a big fear that this somehow is "trendy" and I don't want to even imagine that this is happening on the schoolbus or elsewear. When young girls are making themselves look prepubescent "down there" as a fashion, it is just concerning that girls may also think showing their vaginas is a way to "be cool" and get attention. Please tell me this is not going on.

I have 2 children and am trying for our 3rd and last baby now. I have always waited for a missed period before I tested but this time I am very anxious. My period is supposed to start in 4 days and is very regular. This morning I had what I believe was implantation bleeding( had it with both prior pregnancies). So how soon can I test and get accurate results?

Yes it is very funny and we moved the 'targets' to a less accessible place but he now gets a chair to get to them. I usually get him in time.

By the way it is not just soap. Also liquid soap (for washing hands not laundry) and shampoo are favorite.

We tried to distract him by buying 'bath paint' It is body paint for use when bathing. BIG success but it only seemed to encourage him.

Any idea about what we can do to...well ... make him think twice?

Many people believe that women make better parents than men and that this is why they have a greater role in raising children in most societies. Others claim that men are just as good as women at parenting. What is your position?

See i work in a lab and i am able to have as much blood work i want...for free. Well first I want to see if i am able to get pregnant. But i really do not want to discuss it with everyone that i work with. But is there any certain tests to see if my hormone levels are good to have a child...and also is there any blood tests to see if my fiance is able to have children? I mean i know all the hormones, such as LH, FSH, and Estrogen, and testosterone.

Should those results be high or low, or normal range?
any ideas or test that are availabe?!

thanks for any ideas

The 'spotting' looks like pink discharge that I get at the beginning of my period. I also had light bleeding at 9 weeks and was told that I was having a 'threatened miscarriage'. My doctor's office doesn't open for a few hours and I plan on calling them as soon as they do, so please just don't answer 'Go see your doctor'. I just want to know if any other women out there experienced this. Thanks.

okay.....here's me deal,

i have been taking these ovulation test strips and they worked and all. but on the directions it says, once you detect your surge you should have intercourse within 24-36 hours.

okay, say it's 10 am on friday. should you wait to have intercourse the next day between 10 am to 10 pm on saturday. or should you have intercourse soon after you detect your surge the same day? those directions confuse me!!

How do I go about finding a child I was made to give up for adoption 23 years ago?

I have no details apart from I gave birth and signed adoption papers, as I was brought up as a strict catholic and my baby was born when I was just 16 everything was organised by the church.

A parents worst fear is what I'm living now. I found out my boy's been molested by a 14 year old foster child who lives at his Dad's house, with my 4 year old daughter watching. I've called CPS. I've hired a lawyer to get sole custody of my children. The 14 year old initially denied what had happened to CPS, but admitted what she's done to our children to their Dad. I'm scheduled for counseling to begin, but am wondering what will happen at the "Forensic Investigation" at Children's Hospital. I'm so sorry if you've experienced this with your own children, but I'd appreciate your input.
