I normally take my pill about 9pm, and ive came to bed at 11 and think ive taken my pill but not certain. Will it matter if i take a pill now if ive already taken one? I can not tell from my pack if ive taken one as i am using left over pills from last month while i wait for my new prescription.

This is going to sound really stupid...but I am seeing stars, and I don't know why...just out of the corners of my eyes, and up to the top...in my peripheral vision you know. Is there something wrong? I have a really stable low blood pressure at every appointment, so I'm sure that has nothing to do with it... What could it be? Am i ok? Feel a bit dizzy and out of breathe a lot...but I think that is normal, as baby is getting really big. Please help.

My baby is 13 months old now and I know the day is going to come when he is going to be more aware of what is going on around him and start asking questions. At what age did you make a conscious decision to cover yourself properly before attending to your baby/toddler?

are answering a question on here. Ok sure people are rude. and some can be quite ignorant. But let's face it. This is the world wide web and you are going to get all kinds. So why not just ignore the ignorant ones report them if they are really that vile. and only pay attention to the ones you think make a valid and interesting point?

I am now 37 weeks, baby had been engaged since 35 weeks now, his head is now so low that the nurse felt it when her hand was 'up there' when she gave me an internal examination..do you think he will stay this low for another whole 3 weeks (or more) or is he likely to come earlier due to this? experiences please

I'm 9 weeks with twins, and recently I've been getting terrible sick during the night. I'm usually fine during the day except here and there I get nauseous or a headache, however for the past week or so I haven't been able to get any sleep! As soon as I lay down I get terribly nauseous... like almost this seasick feeling.. and It doesn't go away for hours! I've been ending up having "slumber parties" on the bathroom floor, and throwing up all night. I've tried not eating anything before bed, but then I just end up gaging and a green substances always comes up. This is my first pregnancy, and I don't know what to do about it! I have an appointment with my regular doctor on Wednesday, and so I didn't call all week because I thought it would go away, and I was seeing him then anyways... but it hasn't. Has anybody else experienced this? Any advice would be helpful.

Who else is bothered when you see a small child (I'm talking under 3 years old) with a mohawk? Do parents really think this is cute? I feel so sorry for the kids, they are too young to know better. It's one thing if it's an older child who can say that that's the hairstlye they want but a toddler has no clue!!

Is Pheonix a good boy name? As in the mythical bird, that was immortal and invincible. It was also a symbol for Christ's resurrection. It was also known to Egyptians as the rising sun. Whats your opinion on the name?

Protesting their innocence with wide eyes when they *know* that they have done something wrong,pushing and shoving even after they have been stopped to be spoken to and then sulking when they are punished with a red or yellow card.
Do you think that this is due to their particular upbringing (being marked out as "special" at a young age) or is it something that we just have to accept and can only try our best to prevent our own children turning out like that.
My boys aren't professional footballers but I was able to put a stop to that sort of behaviour when they were boys - but how do you stop them reverting to it once they are adults - or is that not possible?
I haven't seen my boys act like that as adults but would they if they were to get onto a professional football team?

I have a TON of baby girl clothes I'm looking to sell. There are two stores in my town I'm considering. One is a consignment store. They take your stuff, sell it, and then after 3 months give you 50% of whatever they've sold. The problem with that store is that if you give them 5 things, and they only sell 3 by the 3 month mark, you don't get any money for the rest of your stuff. The other store takes inventory of what you want to give them, offer you a certain amount of money up front, and then you don't deal with them any more - they just sell it. I'm thinking the second store would be best, but I have a TON of stuff; I'm just afraid they'd cheat me or not give me NEARLY what my clothes are worth. Does anyone have experience with both? Thank you in advance!

Ok, so my aunt and uncle own a restaurant that's pretty popular in this area. I also work there as a cook and i'm only 15. All the regulars that come to the restaurant say i'm one of the best cooks there. My parents approve of it but my grandma doesn't. She say's I shouldn't be having a job at 15, especialy at a restaurant as a cook.
What do you think?

I've been looking to start babysitting. However, I can't find many good websites that explain things. I am going to be taking a course at the YMCA or something, but I still have a few questions.
How much do you charge? What about when it's at night/ holidays,etc?
What types of games can you play?
How would you disapline them if they acted up?


* a little more info... I'm a teenager, and haven't charged for babysitting before, however I've been babysitting for family for a couple years, and haven't had a problem.

Thanks :)

I am ashamed to say that i am a mother who has recently found it incredibly hard to stop swearing. My son has now copied my most worst used word.

I realise i have to take responsibility for my own language, however i have noticed since i have become a mother, i have replicated many aspects of unwanted behaviour, of which is the same way my parents did to me.

My parents swore, mostlly in anger or frustration, and had a 'fly off the handle' temper. They smacked, sometimes round the head face, other parts of the body. I don't like myself as a parent and had tried not to smack at all...but have now started smacking my little boy at the age of 3.

I am ashamed to be a parent and really don't like myself for it, not to mention feelings of awful guilt. My son is everything to me and i love him dearly.

My bestest friend is having twins and we need names! One boy, one girl. Her name is Paula, and her husband is Paul, so they want to go with the P names. It has to be a P name. No rude comments!
