First of all...... I am NOT pregnant!! but i was wondering if i smoked marijuana NOW....will it have any affect on my baby when i decide to have one. My boyfriend and i were having a debate. I don't think it will have any accect on my baby UNLESS i was smoking it while i was PREGNANT(which I would not ever think of doing). He seems to think otherwise. Please tell be what you think...and if you have some sites to prove it that will be great too!!

ps i know the pros and cons of somking marijuana....i am trying to quit....

Samuel Ethan or Zachary James?

It's really important to us that names flow.
We already have 2 daughters and picking out their names seemed so much easier than picking one out for our son!

Thanks!
I'd appreciate outside thoughts on these names.

I work for a non-profit organization who is very image conscious and I am afraid to tell them I am pregnant. Neither of my bosses were able to conceieve children, and since I am un-wed and living with my boyfriend (baby's daddy) whom I love, I am not sure how to tell them and not sure how they will handle me being pregant. I am starting to show however, I don't have to go into my office often, and when I do, I make sure I am wearing something baggy so they can't really tell. Also, since I am due in April, I don't plan to come back until the next school year, if they will have my back. The schools as well the organization I work for think I do a good job. I just don't really know how or when to tell them. If you were my boss how would you handle me being pregant? What should I do?

I'm just wondering if any other mom's have experienced having a very underweight baby?!

My daughter will be 12 months old in about three days, she weighs 13lbs 12oz ... she's only gained 6oz in the last 6 months.

She eats more than my three year old, she's been tested for all sorts of possible medical problems (ceeliack, turner syndrome, genetics counselling etc...) and we've visited a dietician.

She was 5lbs 2oz when born, I thought babies at the very least tripled their weight by 12 months. She is breastfed and is currently starting to be weaned directly to homo milk mixed with whipping cream (advise of dietician)

Everyone seems to baffled and I just need some reassurance that she's not completely abnormal or if there is something else people are missing that will help her? I'm really starting to get worried.

We are going to see the family doctor end of the week for her immunizations, but he's just as clueless. She's seen so many specialists!

Thank you!

OK I always regret that my parents never pushed me to get a talent or hobby or skill or something. I am a jack of all trades but not really GOOD at anything. Now my little girl is 3. She is just a regular toddler - she does talk very well for her age apparently and tells good stories etc. Well I wanted her to learn something. Like piano or something. I do not have much money though. What would you suggest?

A lot of these famous people like tiger woods, the williams sisters etc started training when they were like 3 or 4 years old. I do not want her to be a superstar but I want her to be able to be proud that she has a talent.

I know talent is sometimes just a natural gift but I think in many cases talent can DEVELOP from putting time and effort into something. Not forcing but just encouraging her.

Hi

After school Childcare? are there any companies that collect children from school as their parents are working.

I have a 4 yr old boy in reception class in the Prestwich area of Manchester UK. His Mum wants to start work and will not be able to pick him up after school at 3.30pm weekdays, are there any companies that would collect him and look after hime for 2 1/2 hours after school or even deliver him to a relatives house? I work night shifts so can't collect him myself at 3.30pm.

Any ideas or advice much appreciated.

Thanks

my periods have become short and light now but I still bleeding red blood and sometimes heavily, lately i've been having bloods clots (small, red),and sometimes little pieces of what looks like meat come out to, and i've never had those before, not to mention the fact the sretch marks are starting to appear on my chest more and my sides(where my love handles are)and i'm having lower back pains more often now, I use the bathroom constantly , and it's like i can never get full completely i always gotta eat more , and then my doctor told me that i was constantly gaining weight , then i woke up in the middle of the night feeling so sick to my stomach, i sure do seem to be tired more often now. BASICALLY what i'm trying to ask you is what do u think i should do i don't know what's going on with me and the docs keep telling me i'm not preggo, but they haven't gave me one ultrasound yet . I'm frustradted and i need to find out , so what do u think is going on and what should i do? Thank you

When he was 5 months he would eat baby food from a spoon but not any more his father started putting his food in a bottle and that is the only way we can get him to eat. He won't even touch solid food. He spits it right out. I tried putting some dried cereal and pieces of fruit and veggies in front of him so that he can self feed put he throws it to the floor. I tried putting it in his mouth so that he can taste it and maybe realize that it tastes good but he closes his mouth and turns his face. Now every time I go close to his face with a spoon or any food he closes his mouth and turns his face. I've been giving him puree foods in his bottle like sweet potatoes and bananas and peas etc, etc. but I feel like if I continue to do this he will never learn to eat. His doctor suguested that I take away the bottle and wait till he is hungry and then try to feed him but it hasn't been working he would just fall asleep hungry. Please someone help me!

My sister just announced that she will be having another child. I just got off the phone with her. She sounds so excited :) Apparently she's known for quite some time and she's a few months pregnant now :D She would like me to help her and her husband decide on a name.
Right now she's considering the following names:

Which names do you like out of the above list?

My friend's niece is always biting people. She bit me the other day. She bit her aunt (my friend) on the leg about an hour ago & broke the skin & my friend was bleeding.

Also, throughout my life, my nieces & nephews would bite people a lot @ that age. Is that just a stage they go through? How can we stop the baby from biting people?

My grandmother's middle name was Paisley (it's an old maiden name). I would like to give my child that middle name as well to honor my grandmother's memory. However I'm worried that Paisley might be too strange. Also, do you think that name would work well for a boy and a girl? What are some first names that flow with it nicely? Any input would be great! Thanks so much!
