Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 December 2007

shes almost 7months and Ive been home the whole time. since she takes some baby fruit ans veg, cereal etc my supply had diminished to match her daily intake so i really cant pump too much to stock up before going to work. I have tried Enfamil powder and liquid, Similac powder, Good start liquid. I have mixed then half and half with breastmilk. I even got the recipe for home made formula from the pediatrician of evap. milk with iron and water. She doesnt want any of the above. Ive tried multiple times with each one. Other people have tried. I even wen tout all afternoon 330p-830p and left her home with Dad to try it when Im not even home. People said dont worry she'll take it when shes hungry well guess what she starved herself the who evening until i returned. I have no idea what to do. No one want to starve their baby into submission. Im desperate now! I dont want her to be screaming all day at a babysitters driving some1 nuts, who knows what can happen then. Did any1s baby do this?

I went to Target, got a two pack, opened it fallowed the directions exactly once i got home. then i peed on it for 5 seconds EXACTLY like they said, well....i peed on it...ALL on it....haha guess my aim isnt good. So the test results came back invalid =(
So now I have to wait until I have to pee again (cant wait till morning, if i am pregnant ill be far enough along anyway) so yeah, this was totally a big tease. Im starting to get a little discouraged, or that its a sign im not pregnant. (ill make sure to pee in a cup next time)

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm expecting twin boys within a month and I need to know what type of double stroller to get. I will need to attach 2 car seats so I'm guessing a tandem stroller would be the best. Graco has several types of Duo Gliders but...I dont know which one is the best. The website has mixed reviews. Any moms have any opinions or know where I can go to get the best updated consumer review.

Thanks

I am two days past my due date. I had my first cervical exam this week. I was 2cm dilated. I have never had this done before and I was very relaxed going in. However, I yelped with the pain and practically fell off the table because I was squirming so much. I am not great with pain, but I can handle some and I don't generally react like THAT.

Was it just because my doctor didn't take it slow and seemed to ram her hand up in there quite roughly? Or is this kind of pain totally normal? I'm going again in a few days and I'm terrified almost to tears.

Like the character from The Golden Compass? I think it's a really pretty name. What do you think of Lyra Ahndria?

And do you think Autumn is a good name for a boy or is it too feminine? What about Autumn Jade as a boy name? Too feminine or would it work?

I miscarried on November 1st. I got a positive hpt on 12/5, my hcg level was 11 on 12/5. Is it to early to see anything on an ultrasound? Are my levels too low? Is it possible that I am not as pregnant as my last mensus( miscarriage) would predict I am?

After your first initial visit to the obgyn when pregnant, how often are your visits during the first trimester and thereafter?? Please be specific if you can, I'm a first time mother.

O.k.
I am 40 weeks 2 days, I was at a 2 on Thurs. My doc
stripped my cervix, and said I should go into labor in 24 hours
So , when that didn't happen I drank castor oil.
Contractions started and lasted about 3 hours, 15 minutes apart. They were some what strong. Then they stopped.
I tried castor oil again, I woke up at 4 am from VERY strong contractions but, they were all over the place, 1 minute apart then 5 then 2 etc. This lasted for about 2 hours and then nothing again.
I had been losing my plug slowly for about 2 weeks, but yesterday I lost a large amount two different times, it was about the size of a 50 cent piece and had blood streaks.
My questions are, has anyone else had this happen and when did labor start ? any suggestion on getting it started ? and has anyone ever heard of castor oil causing harm to a baby (like making him mess in the sack ?)
The Daddy won't have sex(he thinks he is going to hurt the baby)
3rd baby,induced with the other two early.
Thanks

I've heard there is medication you can take in early pregnancy that makes you have a miscarrige. Does anyone know more about this? Please. I'm desperate. I heard its the alternative to surgical abortion. Please help.

I got the new 2007 design Sling Carrier as a shower gift.

It says newborn to 20lbs but my daughter is 7lbs and doesn't fit in it right. I think she's too small. I've tightened it all the way but she slides around too much and it seems too low on my body.

Did any of you have the same problem?
Did you return it or find a way to make it work?
Any suggestions on a better sling carrier?

ok a friend of mine is 9 weeks pregnant and she has had the worst case of pregnancy symptoms worse then the other 2 pregnancies she has had before and she went to the hospital because of a horrible headache and the dr felt her stomach and he could feel the top of her fundus (womb,cervix what ever you want to call it) already which is medically impossible untill your over 12 weeks.
she has very heavy periods so i don't think she is farther along then she is plus the emotions started about a week after conception so can anyone tell me what it felt like to carry twins????
she is going to go for an ultrasound to see but in the mean time i would like to tell her something

I am a tutor/babysitter for an 8 year old boy and a 13 year old boy. the 8 year old hugs me and likes to sit on my lap, but when the 13 yr old tries i tell him no or ask him to stop because it makes me uncomfotable. i dont want to hurt his feelings, but i also feel violated, and i dont want to treat the younger one differently because hes just a little kid. but the older one asked me to go into the bathroom with him when he was bathing, yelled at me when i refused, always grabs me around the waist and tries to hold my hand and asked to give me a massage. its very uncomfortable, but is it even possible to call it harassment since he's only 13? i dont want to say anytihng to the aprents because id feel ridiculous but i always feel so violated! he also got mad at me whe he sat down on the couch next to me and put his arm around my sholder, saying that it wa his hous and he could do what he wanted

If so why?? Or is it just more common now, and therefore more acceptable now?
Whats your take in all this?
