My whole left arm is completely numb. I am a teacher and it is to the point where I am having a hard time holding anything in that hand as well as typing. My doctor told me that this is pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome and told me that I need to see a neurologist. I wasn't having any pain initially, just complete numbness and tingling all the way up to my shoulder but now I am starting to have excrutiating pain. What can I do to try to relieve the pain? What do you think that the doctor can do?

Please help me... I hurt badly!

My due date is Oct. 2nd and I tested positive for GBS. My Dr says they don't induce until 41.5 weeks, which would be Oct. 14th. I am worried my water will break or I will go into labor before I will be able to get the antibiotics for the GBS. My next Dr.'s appt. is tomorrow--So I was wondering if I have the right insist on being induced on my due date and not a week and a half later???

I have been have a problem with my sugar levels. My doctor told me to monitor them until I go back and I am scheduled for the 3 hour gluecose test tomorrow. Sometimes about 1 1/2 hrs after eating I get really dizzy and weak and feel like I'm going to pass out. For a couple of days it was every time I ate. Now it does it occasionally. I have been keeping track og it and the dr says it shouldn't go above 120. Sometimes in the morning before I even eat or drink anything its already130. It has went up to 211 at its highest since I have been checking it. Some days it stays around 115 to 120 but other days its really bad. Is this gestational diabetes? I'm not really sure since its not all the time. I'm afraid that it won't show up in that test if i'm having a "good" day tomorrow.

My son is in the local public elementary school. He was involved in the after school program and enjoyed it. I am a single mom going back to school for change of career and need this program so I can take my classes. After getting him tested for peanut allergies he tested positive. Now he is no longer able to use this service at his school. How is this fair?

I'm 38weeks and 4days pregnant. My mom said she had back labor with me (although that was 23 yrs ago so she doesn't exactly remember - she just knows she didn't feel a thing in her tummy or abdomen)...I'm trying to decide if what I'm feeling warrants a trip to the hospital or just a nice hot shower and a nap. (yes I know better safe than sorry - but I'm serious this is a borderline call here - for any of those who have been pregnant you know what I'm talking about...)

Currently my back hurts so much worse than it his throughout the pregnancy. The bulk of the pain is focused just above my tailbone. The pain can sometime radiate into my hips and thighs but not always or regularly. Sitting makes it ok, lying down makes it worse. Kneeling sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't. I have the occasional tightening of my tummy but it isn't regular nor painful. Baby is still moving occasionally. No abnormal leakage. Could this be back labor?

I'm pregnant with my second daughter (first is 4 yr old Lizzie) and I just ran into the name 'Cosette'. Her full name would be Madeline Cosette Potter. I think it sounds elegant, but do you like it? What should be changed, if anything?

Thanks for your opinions!

I HAD SEX ON THE DAY I WAS OVULATING BUT USED THE PULL OUT METHOD DO YOU THINK THERES A POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD BE PREGNANT

My mother in law is terminally ill. We're not sure when she will die, but it will be within the next 1-2 years. In watching my son's development into a human being, I realized they have no way of understanding death at this age. He's really close to her and I am not sure how to deal with it when it happens. He doesn't really understand "God", and we're not religious. I've been trying to introduce the concept of God to him, but it is obviously too vast for a 3 year old to get although he is extremely smart.
Ideas please? personal experiences?

I have an almost 10 month old son. My period has not yet returned - which is the longest I have gone with any of my children. I have heard that a first period while breastfeeding can many times be anovulatory...just trying to get an idea as to my chances of getting pregnant.

my son, is what you would say a "normal" three year old. he'll be four in april. he likes playing with other kids, likes playing with his toys, loves wrestling with his dad, loves for us to read to him, he absolutely loves music, and he is an affectionate little boy! he is a typical kid, he throws tanterums when he is mad.
my son likes to watch nickelodeon and the disney channel....the thing i was wondering about, was the fact that i just found out, on friday, that he likes to watch that scene on "Face/Off" where john travolta and nicholas cage switch faces? he just sat there and said "look mommy they're cutting his face". my brother in law told me that he went back to that scene a couple of times! he also likes to watch action movies where people are fighting! so i guess i was just wondering if i should even let him watch these kinds of movies and why is he so into them?
SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!

Currently, the names are:
Don Crane
Deanna Crane
Dean Crane
Darryl Crane
Debra Crane

I think is ridiculous but,,, I don't have to live with the names... what do you think?
They don't want to find out the sex ahead of time.
Their middle names all begin with 'A' also...don't know the middle names though. Name suggestions...

I'm pregnant with a boy, and we have decided to name him Kyle. But we are still struggling with a middle name. Any suggestions? (btw: my husband's first name/middle name is Henry Christopher, and my others boys first names/middle names are Adam Joshua, Michael Harold, and Kevin Ryan, so those are out as we don't want any repeats lol!)

We are traveling to Hawaii in Feb with a 2 1/2 and a 4 month old. My question is what is easier on the children and parents, a flight with a few stops or a straight through flight. I dont think coming home will be a problem because it is a night flight but I am worried about going out there. We are traveling from Florida so straight through is at least 12 hrs. Any past experiences or help, my toddler is not very good for long distance so that is who I am thinking of the most.

Thanks a lot everyone!
