Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 November 2007

My 2 year old was playing with bubbles this morning. After rubbing her eyes, she broke out with little welps or hives around her eyes, then her sclera became inflamed. She has many food allergies, so I am used to her having reactions every now and again. But the bubble thing is new to me, as is the swollen sclera! It was scary. I gave her some bendryl and she is better. Then I thought about how I noticed she gets very sneezy around freshly laundered clothes, bedding, even though I use Baby All. Could she be allergic to this too? Does anybody have experience with this type of allergy. I will call my allergist for a check up, but in the meantime I wondered if anyone had any knowledge or experience with this.
Thanks

I eat and eat and eat, all day long. I eat really healthy though, balanced meals and all, and alot af fruit. I was a smoker before I was prego and had to quit when I found out, so I think that could have something to do with the hunger. I eat normally until I am full, and then about 1 hour later my stomach is aching to be fed again. I make sur eI am full before I go to bed, but If i wake up I am starving at like 2 am. Sometimes I get so hungry I end up throwing up stomach acid. Im not really sure what to do. Thankgod he is due in 17 days...Is this normal?

I've heard the stuff about not giving OTC medicines to children under six, but what about prescription meds? My son was given a prescription for allergies and it seems to be the only thing that helps him.

My 25lb dog leaped up when I was sitting and hit my belly about an inch up and over from my belly button. Would this do any damage?

I'm a young mother- I was nineteen when my older girl was born, 21 when my second was born. I'm a stay at home mom,but I'm also in college. I take night and weekend classes so my husband is here with the kids while I'm at school. He works full time and we rely solely on his income, which isn't a lot. We get by fine- without government help, but we don't have any "fun money." I think of other kids that have more and I know that we'll be able to give them more when I'm out of college and working. Right now they're really young- not even in school yet- so they don't realize they don't have as much as other kids. They're not neglected or anything, they just don't get every new toy that comes out, and they wear store-brand clothing.

Do most couples go through a time like this? I feel sometimes like we made a mistake by having our kids so young and that we're cheating them out of something.

If the mini pill only works while breastfeeding, then why did my doctor put me on it because of my blood pressure, my daughter is not breastfeeding. Does this mean I will become pregnant? My daughter is 8 months old. Also why does it say DO NOT TAKE THE 7 INACTIVE PILLS OUT OF THE COMBINATION PACK??? What are the chances I am going to get pregnant?

I was kind of sad when I found out it was a boy. I hate trucks and action figures. I was looking forward to having a girl to dress up and play barbies with. I just don't think that if I have a son I will bond with him the way I could with a girl. Did anyone else go though this? I am ashamed to be disapointed but that's just how I feel.

I have my grandmother's visitation in less than an hour. I haven't really cried since she died, and I'm afraid that I'm going to start bawling as soon as I see her. (it's open-casket) We weren't really that close, but she's still my grandmother.

There's only going to be about 20 people at the visitation, and I know all of them (I think...). So what should I wear? A nice pair of jeans?

How do I respond to seeing her? I've never been to a visitation before, except once when I was very little.

I went to the doc on wed and he said that i am all the way thinned out, and only 1 cm dialated... ive had lower back pain that has been constant for the last week, its even getting hard to go up the steps. I woke up this morning with a severe leg cramp, and i get cramping occasionally off and on. They come and go... sometimes the contractions are regular and other times they arent. my doc doesnt think i am going to make it to the day that i am induced which is suppose to be the 13th of Nov. Is there anything else i should look for to know that labor is coming?

My baby will be 9 months old on Nov 6th. I was wondering if anyone has some help for me. I feed her those Gerber baby foods, but the stage 2s are to watery for her, shes trying to chew it but theres nothing to chew. I dont know what i should give her, the only stage 3 foods that we have found that she liked was stuff that was tomato based and she brok eout really bad with that. So i was wondering should i just keep going the way i am or are there other things i can give her. She hates fruits and LOVES veggies. She has 4 teeth already and can chew good, but sometimes when shes feeding herself she tends to stick the food to far back and gags. I dont want to give her anything she can choke herself with. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I am a very good mother. my neighbor who just moved in above me threatened to call child services because my child was crying. I have never had any problems from any of my neighbors. They all know my son and us. tried to get him down for a nap and he cries sometimes. He is 19 months old, he throws the usual fits. should I worry how should I handle this woman?

I don't get the trend of adding random letters to names. I recently saw Jacob spelled Jaykub. It's still the name Jacob, but now the kid will get made fun of.
Why not just give your child a unique name instead of weirdly spelled common name?

i have noticed that moms that have had boy babies tend to have "deflated" boobs after breast feeding and that moms that have had girl babies or the last child of theirs being a girl, they have less "deflated" boobs...sorry for the "deflated" its just the only word i can think of to describe it right now. both have bigger breasts while they are breast feeding of course but once they stop breastfeeding it seems like they have different changes. have you noticed this as well? or is it just a coincidence? do you have different hormone changes after having a girl or boy?

My daughter has a pretty good amount of blonde hair on her legs, and it doesn't really look like baby hair anymore. I don't want her to be self-consious of it, but I'm not sure it is appropriate to shave/nair it yet? Also do you think nair might be a better option for a nine year old, or are the chemicals too harsh for the skin?

I pushed my son for maybe five minutes before he was out. I hear about women pushing for hours and hours. Why is that? I mean, what is wrong medically that the women have to push for so long? The doctors thought I'd have to push for a long time because he was sunny side up [his face was towards my butt] but like I said it really wasn't bad for me.

I'm pregnant again and this is the first place I've ever heard of women pushing for long periods of time. What causes it? Is there anything I can do to prepare myself? I just worry about this next birth. If you had to push for a long time, obviously it was frustrating, how did you cope?

Thanks!!
