Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 September 2007

My 11 year old son has been getting into trouble with his teacher as he is trying to be a messer as not to get bullied, and whenever the teachers back is turned and someone makes a noise he gets the blame, he tries telling the teacher it wasnt him but teacher just says I dont want to hear your excuses, in the yard kids are pushing him and calling him small boy. He is really sad about this and said he wishes he was dead. I want to go and talk to the head but he doesnt want me to as he said they will all call him a rat and make matters worse, I said I would speak to the kids involved but he doesnt want me to do this either, what can I do to help him? I am really worried and want to make things better for him.

I have heard of many women who still continued their monthly cycle in the first trimester, and did not know they were pregnant. Can you describe your period? Was it normal, heavy, light, irregular?

I have this strange feeling that I may be pregnant, yet my last 3 periods were on time. 2 were quite heavy, and the last week was rather normal. But I feel so many early pregnancy symptons.
We do not have intercourse during my fertile time, and use the pull-out method. I know, I know, not 100% fool-proof at all. I will be taking a test in the morning.

But I am curious how many did continue their periods while still pregnant.

The reason I am wanting to know, the other night I put this product called Johnsons bedtime bath in my sons water he's seventeen months old, so I put three capfuls like the product said, and it did create bubbles. The water was lukewarm and so I know it wasn't too hot, but my son jumped up after a couple of minutes of sitting in the water and began to grab his private area. Has anyone had this experience? Could this be something to do with the product as my mom told me I shouldn't use anything with dyes or perfumes and it was fragrant. Help Please! He doesn't have a rash or anything there, but has been irritable ever since although I don't know if it's because of this or his teething.

Why do so many people seem to think they have an obligation to tell adoptees how they should feel about their adoption?


That we should be grateful, happy, and love our adoptive parents?


What are they so scared of?

ok aubrey will be 7months this saturday the 22nd, she doesnt' sit up on her own but if we sit her up she'll sit there then roll to her side...she'll sit up for about 5min. then fall or get mad. she 's been rolling since she was 4 1/2 months got her two bottom teeth at 5months then just stopped getting and doing new things! when she lays on her stomach she'll kick like she's flying and push herself a little bit but wont put an knee up to crawl if we put her in a crwaling posistion she'll just fall over on her face. she has really strong legs whenever anyone plays with her if she can she will pull herslef up with the help of us and stand there by herself, we will have our hands hovering around her if she falls but most of the time she will stand on her own but still be leaning on something just to keep her in place. she just barely starting holding her own bottle like three weeks ago........is she slow in development or what??
am i just being worried over nothing??

What do you all think of Monita Ann
The first name is my grandmothers middle name- she was born in the early 90s... do you think the name is way out of date? and the second name is my mother middle.

When my 4 week old sleeps, her little head becomes soaked with sweat. I dont overdress her, and the central air keeps the house at a comfortable temperature. The rest of her body stays dry..its just her head that perspires...?? Im worried having a wet head will make her sick...any ideas why this is? is it normal?

My last period ended the beginning of the month. I estimate I ovulated around the 11th, and I had sex four days before, on that day, and two days after. Now I'm having naseau (food related and smell related) mood swings (depressed mostly, kind of lethargic) back pains (muscle pains and knots on either sideof my lower back) and most predominatley, GAS. Low in my tummy, high in my tummy, all over. Bubbles and gas pains and (eek) passing gas. Which is not very normal for me. I am having normal bowel movements and am not constipated. I am due for my period at the END of the month and can't test yet. This was my first normal cycle after getting regulated from Depo, which I got one shot of last March. Does it sound likely I'm pregnant? I know you're not mind readers, but I'm asking for educated opinions (mommies). I also want to eat a lot but don't seem to have my normal appetite, and am tired a lot.

Every morning I wake up and have cereal for breakfast., well not every morning, but most of the time. Afterwards, I feel sick. At first I thought it could be the wheaties, but then I tried cheerios, fruitloops, yogurt cheerios and then cinnamon toast crunch,..it tastes good when its in my mouth, but when im done, my stomach doesnt seem to agree. What could the problem be. Im not lactose intolerant..i drink milk alone and nothing happens..Im 21 weeks pregnant...

Can anyone help me out with how to feel okay that I am leaving my children. I mean they are staying with people that I totally trust...but I do not want to ruin our weekend with anxiety of being without my children.

This is in celebration of our 5th anniversary. But we had such a rollercoaster ride in order to get our children...misscarrieages and failed adoptions. I just love them so much....

Any real advise would be appreciated...

05 camry. i know many of you own britax carseats. what kind of car do you have and does it fit well, or do you have to position your seat really close to the steering wheel in order for it to have enough room? and when did you put the carseat in the front facing position since it can be rear facing til 35lbs? do you have experience with the car seat not fitting in your car at all? my husband has a 00 mustang, do you think a britax would fit in it? what kind of foreward facing car seat would you suggest for a smaller car?

I am watching her very closly due to the whole West Nile scares around our area; she does not show any symtems of having it. Does anyone have any advice on any home remides that can calm the itching. I have tried the store creams and nothing seems to help. I was thinking there has to be some good old home remeadies out there that work better. Please let me know. Or if you know of a specific cream that will work let me know. I have tried Aveeno along with 3 other itch creams, no luck so far.
