Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 September 2007

In the last few days my tummy has just popped out. And I look really pregnant, 5 months even. I was in Spain for a few days and people were asking me how far I was gone. I had to lie, I just felt so silly saying 2 months. My trousers wont fit me. Is this usual for a second pregnancy?

Has anyone taken Lamaze and was it beneficial to you during your delivery? Was it covered by your insurance or did you pay out of pocket?

I believe the correct answer is 0.7ml, does anyone know for sure, beyond all doubt?

My car is a '99 Accord without the tether bars. I would like some feedback on your opinion about purchasing a vehicle that includes the tether bars for our baby's carseat. Is it safer to use the tether bars and top latch?

Please view the following, WONDERFUL youtube video that has me thinking that it might be time to buy a newer car with tether bars... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azgBhZfcqaQ&mode=related&search=

Also, we bought a plain old evenflo convertable car seat. Do you recommend exchaning the carseat that we have for a Britex Regal (that goes up to 60 lbs)?

Thank you!

Medications just arent working. I have done ALOT of research on medications and decided to put him on DHA (cod liver oil) anyone has success with this. Oh and he is run of the mill ADD, acts silly talks too much, he can be made to focus, hes not defiant or out of control.

My son is a senior in high school and is on a wayward path. He recently got arrested for possession of marijuana, he recently skipped school to avoid a test, and has not filled out his college applications yet.

I have tried to counsel him on the errors of his ways, but to no avail. I pray on the issue. I want to make sure he is safe, but at the same time I believe he needs to own is decisions. I can not protect him from misguided decisions for ever.

What is a dad to do?

My OB/GYN is refusing to see me because I am considering giving my baby up for adoption and have contacted an agency who has helped me establish Medicaid coverage for the pregnancy. They have told the agency that they will no longer accept me as a patient unless the agency pays for their services up front. I do not understand why this should matter, if I was keeping the baby I would still be using Medicaid regardless and there would be no problem. I am upset about having to find another doctor as this has been my doctor for years and I do not think this is right. Has anyone encountered anything like this before is there anything I can do to resolve this so I can continue to see my doctor? Or is the damage already been done?

Parents and teachers are in a perfect position to influence teens positively. What can they do to be as influential as possible? This is a big task. Teens are bombarded by media and peer pressures. Yet, adults can and do make a difference. What can they do to maximize this difference?

So i go to college on tuesdays and thursdays. I have a 10 month old son who goes to daycare on tuesdays so today, one of my teachers didnt show up for class so, we got to leave. I had an hour and half til next class so, i drove 2 min home to see my bf and son for a little while. well i walk in the door and its all dark, and if my son is naping, he naps either in a minicrib in the living room or playpen. i look in both, and he is not in either, so i go to the bedroom and walk in, all dark. I turn on the lights and frank is sleeping, getting ready to get up for work. so i look in the crib, and NO BABY!! I said "omg frank, where is the baby" and he says "he's sleeping in his playpen" so i run out n check and i cant find the baby anywhere. i start crying and running around looking everywhere. and than my bf comes out and says "jess, he is at daycare" i was like OMG. my heart was pounding and i was so scared! Frank was half asleep so he didnt realize what he said. has this happened to u??

Has anyone had any symptoms or known they were pregnant even before the lack of a period confirmed it?

2007-09-25 04:47:11 · 6 answers · asked by Anonymous in Pregnancy

but yesterday her & her boyfriend went to the clinic to take a test and it read negative. She says that it was too soon because her period isn't late yet so they will just wait a little longer then go take another one. She went ahead and told her mom that she thought she was and her mom already said that if she is then she will make her have an abortion. My friend really doesn't want that at all, she doesn't want to kill something that is apart of her! What can she do? She's 17...can her mom make her get an abortion if she doesn't want to?
