Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 November 2007

i am all for men getting equal responsibilities for babycare and childcare, i myself is currently studing to do early education and childcare, i'd be interested to know why men dont advertise for babywipes and suchlike. Babycare should not be a women only thing, even though there are many single mothers who have to do it themselves, i feel sorry for them having to brings children up alone, having a child takes two people.

I've got everything, cramping, nausea, tenderness of my breasts, tired some. my last sexual activity was 9/27/07? Someone help please, we've been trying for almost 3 years and this is as close as exciting it gets to us!!

i usually take zyrtec everyday but i am out of the prescription right now and my pharmacy is closed..i know i could take Chlrotrimeton (sp) during the beginning of pregnancy, but that stuff made everything worse when i took it last time.

Can i take a tylenol sinus or something like that? All the drainage is making me sick.

Alright. Here's another question. Me and my girlfriend think that she's pregnant because she's getting blood, and we're not sure if it's her period or not. So I'm wondering how soon can blood come out if you're pregnant? It's been 6 days since we did stuff, and her period usually comes around this time.

My daughter turned 2 about 2 weeks agoand we have a 2 week old as well. We have been "playing potty" though for about 6 months prior, mainly due to ill-advised, but well-meaning friends and family, and the fact that mommy couldn't bend over for very well for diaper changes....ANYWAY We started with pullups which has achieved very little results. There was a couple weeks that it "seemed" she was very interested and would go potty 2-3 times a day. Then she just stopped and started using the pullup just like a diaper. So we let it drop for a while, not wanting to push it b/c she wasn't even 2 yet. We have tried using big girl panties, with the rubber pants over them, and she doesn't seem to respond to them either. What HAS been working for the last couple days, is letting her run without anything, she has told us almost every time she has to go...the problem is though, she can't exactly go out in public that way.If we put her back in pullups for the trip it's certain she'll go in them.

My husband has a low sperm count, thus we are having trouble conceiving. Can self insemination help increase our chances on getting pregnant?

My 7 year old son acts totally normal at home but then sometimes gets goofy in public. I guess he is in one of those stages but he will pull his shoulders up by his ears, put his teeth way over his lips, slouching his back,all at once. He almost looks like at TV character. I instictively say, "STOP". I know that is wrong but I am in total shock and embarressed. What do I do when he starts acting like this.

my due date is Jan 19th, my husband just got told he's being transferred Jan 20th, out of state. i have my doctors appointment on the 28th of this month(which is when i'll be asking this question), i'll be 32 weeks and 4 days then. under these circumstances do you think the doctor would induce as soon as its okay for the baby? probably no earlier than 38 weeks. that would give us 2 weeks before we have to move. if i leave here before the baby is born my insurance wont be any good anymore cause i wouldnt have a job anymore. and hes been seeing me since i was 8 weeks so im sure he wants his money .. lol. so far everything has been going perfect, no complications, just PUPPP (which is HORRIBLE!). any opinions?

And...is it mainly used for a boy or for a girl?

My husband and I are just toying with names at this point in my pregnancy (very early stages!).

My other choices so far have been Liam (boy) and Kaleigh/Kaylie (girl). It changes week to week!

Keegan was brought up at our Thanksgiving meal yesterday and it has kind of stuck!

My 3 yr old son was given a trial for a cough and fluid in the ears that will not go away after 2 doses of antibiotics. The singulair seems to get rid of the cough, but the past few days he has become a holy terror!!! He wil not sit still and he is talking a mile a min switching subjects too fast for me to even answer a question. This is not like him and it goes away in the am, then returns an hour or so after he takes it. I may need a switch anyone have this experience, and was there something you switched to that did not cause this incresed activity?

I am 36 1/2 weeks along and my back has had some weird achy pains that started yesterday.. it comes and goes irregularly, like braxton hicks, but it's in my lower to mid back.. it is not happening at the same time as braxton hicks either.. and it happens when I am laying down too. is it just pressure? why does it come and go, unlike normal back pain? it's got an achy feel to it, also, like a menstral cramp, but in the back.. weird? have any of you experienced this?

My baby is 7 months old with asthma or something like it (too young to tell, but I want to know if I should buy a cool mist humidifier to help him breath at night, cause he always wakes up coughing weather I do the nebulizer before bed or not. We use the nebulizer cause he always coughing, and there is a rattle in his chest, and he is always congested too. Will this help him? Also, what store can I get a small, cute, and inexpensive one for him? AND one more thing, If you have an experience with asthmatic children, can you give me ideas, clues, or any type of advice for me to help him or understand what is going on with him and stuff, cause I am not sure about it since I never experienced this with anyone or myself?

Do most pregnant women get a large butt? Why? Is it due to lack of exercise and healthy eating, or does it just come along with being pregnant??

I can understand if the child is actually having a hard time and wants to do better. But what about the kids that don't care about how they do in school. And then they get passed anyways. Making next year all that much more harder???

My fiance and I were discussing baby names the other day. He is absolutely, solidly hooked on the name Styles for a boy (He got it from the movie Teen Wolf!) I told him it's not realistic and the kid will get made fun of!

What would you think of a kid named Styles? How do you picture him?
