I was wondering, I have a what feels like a pinched nerve in my back. I am 6 months pregnant. Its killing me and i figure there is not much the doctor can do about it for me. But its a sharp pain in only one part of my back and my hip. It hurts when i sit down, stand up, walk up and down stairs and it really hurts. has anyone experienced this and if so anything u did to help it feel better.

His eyes look like they have a bluish tint underneath them like he's dehydrated or sick. But he's neither, it seems. He had a cold two weeks ago but this just started three days ago. He doesn't have a fever, and he seems totally fine (laughing, playing, lots of energy). What could it be? Does this ever happen to your kids? Should I take him to the doctor, even if he doesn't seem to feel badly?

today i went to visit my mother, well she wasnt having a very good day,and took it out on me. we ended up fighting, i walked away trying to keep cool,but she walked up to me and said something very hurtful,so i of course not thinking just flipped out on her, but after that i realized i needed to leave in best intrest for my child...but of course i am worried about my babys health,he was active today,and then it all stopped when i fought with my mother..
i know its bad,but i do know other women get stressed during pregnancy, i just would like to know how concerned i should be..

I'm currently 10w 1d pregnant. I've been having my hCG levels monitored weekly as my last 2 pregnancies ended in miscarriage. At 8 weeks they were 64,400. At 9 weeks they had dropped to 53,100. My doctor sent me in for an ultrasound to check on the baby. My baby was fine. Had a heartrate of 170 bpm and measured 9w 2d in size which was spot on. I just got my results through from yesterday at my level has dropped again to 41,700. I'm seeing my doctor this afternoon but I'm really worried that I'm gonna lose this baby as well. My doctor told me last week that your levels can start to go down in your 3rd month as the placenta is taking over but I thought it would either stay the same or not go down as much again. Has anyone been through this situation and had a positive outcome?

I am looking at the pros and cons of my short list of baby names... Victoria is very beautiful, but many of you have pointed out that Vickie is not the prettiest nickname... I also dislike Tori...

Can you think of anything else?

My 21yr daughter, Jackie, attended College A for 1yr before deciding to move back home and attend another school for several reasons. We went all out when she started attending college A (had banners, clothing, stickers etc) and after she left, all was thrown out and it was never spoken of again. Our 18yr didn't mention it last year when she was applying. Now, our 17yr daughter is currently looking at colleges and loves College A, but is afraid to apply because she sees it as "Jackie's school" and doesn't want to hurt her sister’s feelings. I know it would make Jackie upset on some level and I do care a great deal about her feelings, but at the same time I want my 17yr daughter to choose and apply to schools that she loves and not rule out a great opportunity just because it didn't work out for someone else.
Any ideas? What would you do in my situation?

The daycare has said that my daughter won't participate in activities, has a lot of trouble sitting still, and sometimes randomly hits others for no reason. They said she is behind the others in their learning program. Of course I dailey tell her no hitting, listen to your teacher etc. At night when we practice writing letters she slumps out of the chair, sings, anything except what I want her to concentrate on.I just keep trying even though I don't feel I'm getting anywhere. Is it normal for some 4 yr olds to have so much trouble sitting still? Are there any ideas on how to get her to focus? Would time-out work for when she won't sit still?

I have two daughters- 2 and 4 years old.

They each get a cup of milk with their breakfast in the morning and a cup of milk with dinner. They usually have a cup of juice with lunch and water the rest of the day.

Is this balanced? Should they have more millk? Less?
