Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 September 2007

My 13 yr old daughter and her friend have been wanting to take a trip to Toronto (just a few hours away from where we live) to stay in a hotel for a night. They found a very nice hotel online with fairly low rates. My daughter is asking that if my husband and I possibly attend and stay in another room, could they go? She has offered to do extra chores so that she can fund the room herself (with her friend). Should I permit her to go? I asked what activities she and her friend would do. She responded that shopping and a little sightseeing might be good if she thought that she and her friend could afford it. The method of transportation would most likely be by car, otherwise a train ride that would likely cost about $20.00 per two youth.
Your thoughts, please?

How long after you have sex can you buy a home pregnancy to find out if you are pregnant? how many days or weeks does it show the result through a home pregnancy tests-those you buy at the drugstore?

I am 18 weeks pregnant and not sure if the flutters I am feeling are the baby or something else. Although the baby is still below my belly button, I get the feelings just above and below my ribcage. Could this be the baby?

Went into early labor last night. Did not progress enough, but some. Went from a 1cm 20% effaced to a 2cm 50% effaced. Contractions were 5 min apart. Then went to 7. They sent me home. Doing the waiting game now. I am 36 weeks and 4 days. How close am I? Will walking help me? My head hurts most.

I am just reading some questions that have been asked today to kill time and was reading one about making bottles and some people gave some of the craziest answers!! One person said "well I use 7 ounces of water for 3 scoops of formula because my baby doesn't like water alone." WHAT?? when prepared it IS WATER with added nutrients! No need to supplement. One other person said "I put in 3 scoops of formula and then add water until its up to 6 ounces" AHHH!! WRONG WRONG!!! 3 scoops of formula is meant to be mixed with 6 ounces of water not 5 or however much it would be after the formula takes up room. I know I am loosing 5 points here, but i'm bored and this bothers me.... are these people getting these tips from docs or taking it into their own hands? Are these doctors real?

We are pregnant and don't know the sex and are looking for suggestions on names. Doesn't matter the syllables, but has to end in an N. Nothing TOO outlandish, but a little unusual is ok. Please don't give me names from the top 10 baby names! Lol

I took a HPT yesterday morning and as my period is 4 days late (it was one of the ones where you can test 4 days early) and saw a negative right away and didn't think nothing of it and threw it in the drawer in the bathroom I didn't wait for the full 5 mins cause it's negative.... This morning I went to throw it in the garbage and noticed a faint line going up to make the plus sign. I know that faint lines mean positive, but what about 24 hours later?? Would that still be accurate?

I've been having a very hard time with my 1 month old son....he wants to eat so badly but can't seem to take it because of the reflux (which is what my dr. said he had today at his appt.) He cries in pain but still really wants to eat. She perscribed Axid and told me to call her Friday to see if it is working. I've been reading some past questions that are similar to mine, and it seems as if this didn't help many babies, but that Prevacid did. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions? It would be much appreciated!!!

Okay almost 2 months ago I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend by using the pulling out method which I know is not safe. I didn't notice any signs at first but then I started experiencing frequent urination, nausea, bad fatigue, breast tenderness, and what I though I had a period it was light and lasted like 4 days. But then I ignored it then I started my stomach hardening and now its noticeable so I don't know if I'm pregnant or not...and no I haven't had a pregnancy test. If I am I'm about 6 weeks. So help.

The doctor prescribed Glucophage so I would ovulate and hopefully get pregnant. I'm confused as of how does it actually work and how effective is it?

I'm not diabetic, but have a very mild case of polycystic ovaries syndrome and I'm a bit overweight. The doctor said that if I lost weight and took Glucophage (500mg twice a day) I should get pregnant.

Anyone with some kind of experience with Glucophage, please share!

Thanks!

my cousin is 25, married and has a 11 month old baby girl. She stopped by my place yesterday to drop off some baby clothes for a friend of mine having a little girl in a few months. Anyway, one of my issues with her at the moment is that she bought a new carseat for her daughter in the last few months. Yesterday when she stopped by I noticed that her daughter was facing forward in her carseat. Illegal #1. Here babies must face the rear until 12 months of age even if the infant carseat is outgrown before that age. The other problem is that not only was she facing forward in the carseat she had her in a carseat that is too old for her, it was a toddler to booster carseat. My soon to be 3 year old will just be going into one of these by Christmas this year. Her daughter is about 19 Lbs now and she feels that the baby is getting too big for the infant carseat. I have never seen an infant carseat with a weight limit of less than 20 Lbs, sometimes even 22 Lbs or so.

I adore this name, first name, middle name or last name!
What do you think of it as a first name, or a middle name?
I think it sounds good as a middle name with any first name, but how does it sound as a first name and then any middle name
thank you :)

I have to go back to work within two weeks of my baby being born. This is my 2nd pregnancy. After my first baby, I suffered from postpartum depression. With this pregnancy, I have suffered depression through most of the pregnancy, and am very nervous about returning to work so soon, with the possibility of postpartum depression being high. I cannot quit my job, and I work for a small company that does not fall under any FMLA guidelines. My state (Texas) does not have any laws protecting my job while I take maternity leave, which is why I am coming back so soon. I will return part time at first (I currently work full time). Does anyone have any tips for dealing with stress/depression/exhaustion in this situation? Has anyone been in a similar situation, or had to return to work in less than a month? Any encouragement is greatly appreciated!!

I read 20 pounds is acceptable to put your child into one. But, my daughter weighed 20 lbs at 6 1/2 months and then I read that you should just wait until they're a year old. My daughter hates not facing us but im confused . any help appreciated. thanks
