I feel like I can't have any pants, material, anything remotely constricting on my belly... I can wear dresses that's fine, but it's even maternity pants that bother me... I feel kinda achy where my belly button is, pretty tender. Is that normal?

My baby boy is going to be coming home in a week or so. He is most likely going to be coming home on a heart monitor. I haven't had a chance to speak to the doctor yet. Can anyone with a smililar experience give me some advice on when they need to be on them. I have heard all day 24/7 from some. And others say only when they go down to sleep at night. Thank you for the advice!

I know making the food is the healthiest option and that's what I plan to do, but someone just recently gave me extra baby food she had (cause the baby didn't eat it and ate table food instead) and I don't want it to go to waste. The ingredients all say "the veggie or fruit + water needed in making the preperation". Is this just as good and nutrious as making the food fresh?

Why aren't pregnant women allowed to eat hot dogs? I read that a while back, just didn't know why. Is there a special way I can cook it or anything? Please, I am desperate!

I've been having contractions since last night. I have nausea. Not sure if i lost my mucus plug. I went to the bathroom around 7 this morning and was about to flush and there were to globs of a white substance. Contractions have spread from just hurting in my back to the front lower part of my uterus.. my ankles and hands are swollen. I tried taking a bath, tried walking, and tried sitting on excercise ball. Nothing is making them go away. They are painful.. Help!!

My daughter will be 3 months on december 6th. She had her shots the other day, and at that doctors appointment i was asked how much shes eating. She eats 4 to 6 ounces of milk every 3 hours, sometimes longer sometimes shorter. My doctor looked at me like i was nuts, asked if she spits up alot and i said no, because she really doesnt. What is the normal for a 3 month old 14 pound baby to be eating? How often?.. She sleeps 9pm-12 when she gets up to eat.. Then 12:30-8 or 9 in the morning. Shes a EXCELLENT sleeper, and eater as well.


Also, my doctor told me i can start baby cereal at 4 months, becuase of how shes progressing. When did you start yours???

I've been married for 2 years and fixing to have a baby boy in 3 weeks. I graduated with my accounting degree in May of this year and found out I was pregnant right before I graduated. I tried to get a job while i was pregnant but no luck so me and my husband thought it would be best if we waited until after the baby came. I plan on finding an accounting job or some kind of job in february or march. Our finances are ok, were not able to save anything right now but we plan on it when i get a job. I'm just wondering if I should be doing more at my age or more accomplished. I feel bad that I haven't worked since I graduated in May but I feel like I have the rest of my life to work after my baby boy gets here. I've worked on and off at banks since I was 19 and retail stores.

Our daughter has just turned 1 year old two weeks ago. At her one year doctor appt we were told it was time to switch her from formula to whole milk. The pediatrician suggested using up the last of the formula we had in stock and then introducing the milk to her then.

Problem is, we've just run out of the formula and she doesn't seem to care for the milk. Is this normal? When will she start to take the milk? I'm worried she's going to start missing out on the nutrients she's supposed to be getting from the milk.

if so, when you went on to have more children how was your labor, did you tear again? was it bad? do you now have any problems? with my daughter I tore really bad all the way up to my rectum and now I am pregnant again and my doc is suggesting a c-section and I dont want one but he is afraid that because I tore so bad last time, that If i tear again that I may damage some nerves in my rectum and it may cause problems for me later on and I am not sure how common is this or if he is just trying to scare me?
any info would be great
thanks

Im pregnant, 23 weeks, But I'm asking about my sister in law, she is close to 12 weeks pregnant, she woke up covered in blood today and alot of it, she went to the ER, they checked for a heartbeat via doppler, couldnt find a heartbeat, is it too early to hear a heartbeat this early?? I was able to hear my son's heartbeat thru an internal sonogram at about 8 weeks, She is a very tiny petite girl!! The Er sent her home and did no further testing, do you think she will miscarry??

If I were president/prime minister I would pass a law..A maximum of 2 children per couple..Why? It would allow me to lower taxes, The population would hopefully start decreasing, The children would be better off more attention,more food,school places etc, Its not as strict a Chinas 1 child per couple rule.
Personally I was very happy as an only child, Im undecided as to whether Id like kids.....If so I would like 2.
-If someone decides to have an extra child they would have to pay a tax.
To maternal/paternal type people, Be open minded before answering..whats really best for children & the future?
Thanks☺

I asked a question a couple hours ago about if 5 week olds miss their mommy...Well my husband wants to drop off our little girl at his mothers sunday night and i dont feel comfortable with it yet. I told him that and he told his mother the same thing. Well she just called me, and she must have thought i was going to say yes to her, but i said no, i wasn't comfortable with the baby being gone overnight this soon. Well she kept persisting and telling me "oh stop it, she'll be fine". I kept saying no, and she kept going on. I finally said yes.....but i do not want her to go. I know this might cause an arguement between my husband and i, because i already said yes. Ahhh shes so persisted she doesnt take no for an answer. What should i say to her? she obviously doesnt take me seriously.
