He does it EVERYDAY, and Im worried since he is sooo strong that he will either tip it over, or hurt himself with the metal things that hold the balls on the tree.... EVERY time he gets a chance, he goes up and grabs at it! This is his first x-mas!!! LOL! Any suggestions on what to do to get him to stop touching?

I have been feeling bloated lately. When me and my boyfriend have intercourse, it hurts afterwards like cramps in my stomach. I have also been feeling like i'm going to puke at night before going to bed. My breasts have been tender also. I am on birth control, but I missed a couple of days here and there. I won't have a missed period for another 10 days. What is wrong with me?!

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a baby boy, in two months. We currently have medical insurance through Kaiser.

I have been told by various people that circumsion is no longer covered by medical insurance. Instead, it is considered elective surgery.

Has anyone with Kaiser insurance recently had a baby boy? Did you have to pay for his circumsion? If so, how much did it cost?

Thanks for your help!

I sucked my thumb as a child and found it to be very comforting in stressful times and when I was going to sleep. There are so many parents out there that don't think you should let your children suck their thumbs or pacifiers. I am just wondering if I should encourage my children if they like to suck their thumb.

My friends children have chicken pox and because my two older boys have already had the chicken pox and the baby hasn't i wanted to see if i could get him to catch the chicken pox while he is young and less likely to scratch etc., or even be aware that he is going through it. But because i am breast feeding i am unsure if the milk from me will keep him immune. But then i was wondering if he did catch it would it be dangerous. He is due his 3rd set of imms on 18th too so not sure whether the chicken pox would affect him worse if he had the injections.

I was only two days overdue when I went in for my last doc appointment before the induction. The doc that saw me was not my regular doc, she was overseeing a delivery. The doc said that he was checing for dilation, and I know that routine, they did tht every single appointment. But it hurt really bad,and i was trying to move away from the doctor and I asked him what he was doing. I was starting to get scard because dilation checks don't feel like what he was doing. He said that he was trying to strip the membrane to throw me into labor. Now, am I being overly sensitive about this or should he have told me what he was actually doing befor ehe just went ahead and did it. The baby is almost 4 months old now, but this still bothers me. He works at a resients clinic and I have a good relationship with the doctor that oversees the clinic. I was wondering if I should report him or do docs do thid on a regular basis. Bear in mind that I did not ask him to do this.

Hello all!
So here is the situation! I had a D&C to remove a blighted ovum on October 26th. I have not had a period since the procedure I bled after the procedure as normal though. This week I started to have some pregnancy symptoms such as being tired all of the time, wanting to eat everything and anything, a little bit of cramping *not like period cramps*, and
tender breasts. About 5 days ago when I went to the rest room I had a little spot of blood, maybe implantation bleeding. Is there a chance I could be pregnant?? And when should I try a HPT?

I had a m/c in Aug and it's been almost 4 months now & I still haven't gotten my period. Recently, my appetite has increased & I am experiencing lower abdominal cramping that lingures 24/7. Very minor, but it's there. The pain is a bit more intense on my right side. 2 weeks ago I had it on my left side, so it has switched. It feels uncomfortable. Last few days, my nipples have been feeling sore to touch. I know these are signs of pregnancy, but I am not sure if it's possible to get pregnant if I haven't got my period since the m/c. Is it possible?
Any feedback would be great
Thanks!

if i came home with a D on my spanish oral exam. i am a straight A student in everything and taking a college class in Spanish. i have a 4.48 GPA. the spanish class i'm taking i've gotten A's straight through on the quizzes and compositions. but the teacher never had us try to speak it until the end when all of a sudden he makes us "role play" in spanish. i got a 60. since it was 10% of our grade, i still might get an A in the class, but i'm expecting a B. i wasn't all upset about it, just glad that it was over. my mom was all "it's ok hunny, you had no experience speaking it, etc." on the phone and was sympathetic like she thought i thought it was the end of the world for me. but my friends said if they got a D, they would have been punished for it. if i was your kid, would you punish me?
