Can a baby be born as early as 33-34 weeks and still be healthy enough to go home asap? Or has anyone here had a premature baby around this time and it being healthy enough to take home soon after?

Okay, everyone! This is an easy 2 points and possibly ten if you give the best answer. I need a FIRST name for a character in a book I am writing for fun.

Description: Wavy-ish vividly red hair, freckles, green eyes, thin face, very short and slender.

Personality- Sort of shy, kind, spontaneous when you get to know her, smart, funny.

She is currently named Eva Cowan. I want to keep the last name, please! Should I keep Eva or go with another name. No middle or last names! JUST FIRST NAMES!!!

The girl is 10 years old, and the perpetrator is her former step-father. Because he was only dad she'd ever known, she continued to go visit him after they got divorced when her younger sister (who is his bio daughter) would visit him. This came out during a counseling session today. I don't know what to do or say, and I would like some input into things to say/not to say or ways that I can help support my friend through this ordeal. Do I say anything to the daughter, I don't want to make her feel like everyone in the world knows about it? I just feel lost and don't want to make things worse.

I would have thought she was a bit young to have picked up this habit. I could be wrong but it seemed to start when BB8 was on and Charley used to bite her nails all the time.

I guess my main concern is that it is the result of some kind of anxiety.. I have always assumed (perhaps wrongly) that nail biting was some kind of comforting ritual.

Do you think she is anxious about something, or is it fairly normal to bite your nails at such a young age?

(I tell her to stop all the time (like 30 times a day), and seconds later she'll be biting again!!)

I personally think it's prefectly fine that the names are similar but when i was talking to my cousin she laughed at me and told me i should pick another name! i was kind of mad and i can't stop thinking about it now. what do you all think?

I kiss my baby girl all over her face and on her lips.

The same friend who told me that I change diapers too often

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AseYXsmgmu34hreB5eaV7Ojsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070920165347AAhB4nb

told me that I shouldn't kiss her on the face because I have too many 'microbes' and I will make the baby sick. Her son is 3 1/2 months and she says she has not kissed him on his face (just forehead, fingers, hands).

Isn't she missing out on a special point in her babies life? or am I giving 'microbes' to my girl?

What about your 2,3,4,5 month old?
I have a friend who thought I was nuts to use up to 10 diapers in a day (usually 6-10). She said disposable diapers are each good for 12 hours unless it is a poo and then you should change it!
She goes through one package of diapers a MONTH! while I go through one package a week. My baby is 4 weeks, hers is 3 1/2 months. She has never used more than 3 diapers in a day, she usually only uses 2!
Am I wrong or is she a complete nutter?

I was induced earlier in the day and got sent home because they said I wasn't really in labor and wasn't dilating at all...even though I was crying it hurt so bad and I actually have a high tolerance for pain!! So my hubby and I go to meijer before we actually go home. I was sitting, waiting for a prescription when I was having my really bad cramps and felt a weird popping feeling. I didn't think much of it since the doctors and nurses said I wasn't near the real thing. So our prescription is finally ready and I get up and It felt like I was peeing!!! I was in pain and trying to get everything paid for and we went to the bathroom as fast as we could and it was all watery and lightly bloody looking so I assumed my water broke. What was really bad was that it was rush hour so it took forever to get to the hospital!!! We get there and i'm 5 cm dilated and I push my son out 5 hours later! I guess I really was in real labor!

I already have a 13 month old. I went to the DR today to get checked out before we try to have another baby. It's a totally new doctor and she looked at my paper work and said that I really had a big baby for my size. I'm 5'6 and weigh between 135-140 average. Is 8 lbs 8 oz really a big baby? I had no issues in my pregnancy and was active the whole while and had no trouble pushing him out! Me and my sister were both 8 lbs 10 oz when we were born.

Ok this is what i need help with,

i just did some really hard thinking about my ast menstrual period.

The last HEAVY period i had was on January 15th 2007, I was supposed to get my NEXT PERIOD around February 15th or 16th it always came around that time, I had no bleeding until FEBRUARY 22ND, and that bleeding was very light, and didnt last long. My usual periods last 5-7 days and this only lasted about 2-3.

Could i have already been pregnant when my period was 7 DAYS LATE? was the bleeding i had feb.22nd IMPLANTATION BLEEDING?

According to all the research it was, and instead of being 30 weeks i should be more.

could my doctors not be able to tell this?

This question has nothing to do with me but I just answered a question about what we would do if we found out our 13 year olds were having sex and three people said they would be proud if it was their son and angry if it was their daughter! I think that's one of the stupidest things in the world!

Parents like that obviously do not know how to do math if they think that girls can get pregnant because it takes two people(male and female) to make a baby. So boys can get girls pregnant too.

And I think parents like that are also hypocritical because they let their son do those things with girls and it's like, how do you think the parents of the girl feels? The same way you feel about your daughter doing those things.

What do you think?

I mean, some women can have children and maintain their figures, while others blow up.
