My cousin has a boy that will be 2 at the end of this month. He has yet to say his first word. He is smart otherwise, but there are some warning signs of autism. I dont want to offend her by telling this to her in the case that he is just slow to speak.
She also is thinking about having another child.
Do I remain quiet despite my concerns? I dont think she should have another child untill she 1) makes sure child #1 is oaky 2) Get married to the father and 3) Gets more then a one bedroom apt in Brooklyn.
The marriage thing in none of my business, but Shes like a sister. I really care about her and her family.

I had my first ultrasound yesterday. I am 5 weeks, 2 days. They were only able to see the sac which they said was what they expected at this early stage and to be happy that my sac and hCG level were where they should be at 5 weeks. They said that in a week, they may be able to hear a heartbeat. Yet I've heard other people say it can take up to the 8th week until the heartbeat is found. I'm a chronic worrier and I'm wondering when I should go for my second ultrasound? If I wait too long, I'll be worried during the long wait. If I go next week and they can't find a haertbeat, I'll be worried too and stress over a possible blighted ovum. I hate being like this. :-( What would you recommend as a good time to go for a second ultrasound, especially for a worrier like me?

My daughter is in kindergarten and they have little sport games every now and than. She is such a leeder and always has to win. They were havng a little soccer game and this boy on the other team got the ball so she started kicking him in the legs so hard he started crying, Than without caring made the goal. . Whenever she has friendscomeover she bosses them and yells at them like yesterday she had a new friend comover who she didnt know before and they were playing wii tennis, and the other girl was doing it wrong but still having fun, and laughing. my daughter was so annoyed that she unpluggs the wii and says "Seams like your not smart enough and I am just better at a lot of things than you". The girl started crying. My daughter is a nice girl but is so used to being around older siblings that teach her how to play wii or that she see's being rough in there soccer games. I try telling her these things but she just doesnt realize she's doing this.

Hello! I am 26 weeks and 2 days along with my first pregnancy...a little GIRL! :) Anyway, last week I felt really, really strong kicks, so much that I could see them from under a sweatshirt I was wearing and my husband could feel and see them clearly. However, this week, particularly starting on Sunday, I have experienced a sharp decline mainly in the intensity of these kicks or punches, even though I still feel her on a regular basis. I am just a bit concerned, and probably a bit of a worry wart, but I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this and if it is normal. I would call my doctor but they are closed now. Additionally, I have been waking up to a sharp pain on my lower right side. Could she have turned and be possibly sitting there?

I want to get a sling or backpack to carry my baby in, but I have no idea which one to get! I've seen some women carrying their babies in slings that look very simple, they look like just a long strip of fabric that they tie around the waist and over the shoulder. They look very comfortable. I'm trying to find out where to get that style but I can't find anything like it when I search. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? What are they called and where can I buy one?
Or, is there anyone in the know who can tell me which is the best sling for comfort and healthy positioning?

What part of the labor is most painful contractions or when the baby is coming out.? I'm 27 weeks with my first baby just trying to get an idea of what to expect.

Did you take any medication for the pain or did u deliver naturally? How long were in labor for?

In the begining of my pregnancy, my levels were a bit elevated (got a + a week before my missed period) and then they were going up by more than triple. At 5 weeks they seen a gestational sac (just one) and then I had bloodwork and the doctor was concerned then because she said my numbers were very high to only see a sac, and she had us both scared. But then 2 weeks later, we got another u/s and I had a fetus and a heartbeat (again, only ONE). I have heard of one baby hiding behind the other, and also I heard that twins can come from one sac. But is it possible to see only one fetus and heartbeat if there is two in there? I am now 14 weeks pregnant and just curious. I assumed at our 5 week appointment, that one sac ruled out twins, but now im not so sure. It might sound stupid, but Im just a bit curious as to how this works. Thanks!
