Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 October 2007

my daughters just had her 14th birthday, a friend of hers introduced her to her cousin, whos a 17 yr old boy, they have been spending time together, not alone.
she says nothinks going to happen as they know hell be arrested plus shes not ready. they just want to be friends.
i asked her to bring him to see me, so we could chat. he came the next day. i pointed out the worries i was having regards to their ages and asked his intentions.he says he just want to see her as friends as they both enjoy each others company. ! he respects her .i said im not happy but i will trust my daughter to make they right choices, and HIM ,,when deep down i want him to back away, why would a 17 yr old want to hang out with a 14 yr old.
when they first met he thought she was 18 as she looks alot older then she is,
im worried if i say stay away from my daughter she will rebell and they will meet in secret. in lives with a friend plus friends mum, works , goes to collage doesnt do drugs, has motorbikes !!

Has anybody ever went through this with their child? What were they like after surgery? What are some good foods to feed them? My daughter does not like things like ice cream and popsicles, what else can I give her? Are they in a lot pain? Give me all the details, I am so nervous and scared for her.

My first pregnacy I had pre ecclampsia and had to be induced (at 38 weeks and baby was healthy). I also had hydronephrosis of both kidneys and my SI joint slipped out of one of my hips. Im a little nervous about having a baby again (our first is only 5 months so not for awhile). I was just curious if pre ecclampsia is likely to happen again?

ok I am 36 Weeks Pregnant and I am scared. I know women go through it all the time. But I am so scared of the pain. The epidural I heard is just like a little be sting and it nothing compared to the contractions you are/will be having. But the thing is every piercing every blood being drawn I passed out. The sight of a need make me sick and i 98 percent of the time passed out. I guess I am just wondering stories and words of encouragement. Also what do I do about my Boyfriend, yes we are together and happy But he sometimes is the joker and I think he will joke with me during labor and I think I may get really mad at him, because when I have those little Braxon Hicks contractions I get Irritated because he tries to hug and comfort me. I don't Want to be touched so do I have to say babe I'm sorry for all the things I may say to you?

i have been breast feeding my son since the day he was born. he will be 4 eeks old tomorrow. i have had no trouble breat feeding him at all. although now i decided i would like to pump some breat milk for when we go out in public just so i dont have to pull out these huge knockers when im out and about.
i tryed pumping about 4 times and i only can ever get an ounce at a time... whats up with that. it takes about 20 mion to get that much and then i just get frustrated bc then milk just drips out. i know my son is gettin more than plenty b/c he has gained 2 lbs since birth and the doc says i am doing great!

I'm 17 years old, female, 5'5 and I weigh 115lbs

When school started in September I weighed 135lbs. Two weeks ago the doctor weighed me and I was 124lbs. I haven't tried to lose weight and I don't want to lose any more weight but I'm simply not hungry. I'm exhausted all the time and can sleep for 12-18hrs a day every night/day when before I could only sleep 8hrs a night.

I'm not depressed, in fact I'm happier right now than I have been for awhile and I'm still very social. I've only made three changes since the summer, I've started eating meat again, I quit smoking cigarettes and I dont smoke weed very often anymore.

I'm very weak and haven't been exercising very much because I don't have the energy to. I have next to no appetite anymore, I can eat an apple and be full for the entire day.

My mom doesn't believe me that I'm just not hungry and is always yelling at me. She interogated me last night and I had no idea how to respond. How can I get my mom to believe me?

I have a friend who continually leaves her nine year old girl home alone so she can work. Her husband has a steady first shift job and she works three jobs...she's a realtor (new to the business so the pay hasn't really taken off yet and she only gets commission), another job that calls her when she needs her during the day, and she works part-time nights four days a week. I don't know how she does it, but her daughter gets left in the dust.

Anyway...there's teacher's convention today and tomorrow and her Grandma was supposed to come and get her this morning. An hour and a half later, she texts me and says that she's "really scared...Grandma isn't here yet....I hate bening home alone". I asked her if she could call her Grandma to see if she's on her way. She told me "No, Mom and Dad only have cell phones so I can't call anyone." God...what if something serious happened and she needed to dial 911?? I'm tempted to report my friend as I really feel for her daughter.

I am confused. Can someone give me a sample feeding schedule for my 5 1/2mth baby? So far when she wakes I give her her bottle, 2nd feeding is 2oz formula mixed with oatmeal and right after, 3oz of formula in her bottle to supplement. The rest of the day I just give her the bottle. Is this wrong? I want to start introducing vegetables, when would I do this, on her third meal of the day? Once I start giving her vegetables and fruits, do i give these one after the other or space them? I dont know why this is not sinking in! Thanks for the help.
