I was just wondering how early in your pregnancy can you get braxton hicks? how early did some of you ladies get them?

I know the two are separate issues in court. HOWEVER. let me just explain the situation. he dumped me as soon as i got pregnant. then was not there. She is four months old, he woudlnt come to the hopstal to see her has not came by to see her NOTHING. I tried to call , no answer. I am pursing child support he went down to the child support enforcement agency and demanded a paternity test. At this point, it seems likely to me if i drop the case, he would just walk away. IT seems his main concern is not paying. I really dont watn him in our lives. Do you think if i dropped the child support case, he would likely disappear and go away from our lives?

So I am buying clothes for a two year old this Christmas as part of a "Letters to Santa" program. Whatever. So I get a letter from a woman who's english isn't perfect and she says she has a two year old, but in her letter she said that the two year old wears size 6T? I dont have kids, but even this sounds a little nuts to me. I dont know if the baby is extremely large for his age or she just wants the clothes to fit longer .. and there's no way for me to get in touch with her. Any suggestion from people with children this age as to what size I should buy would be SO appreciated. Thanks ;)

My name is Kelly, and I always hated that every 3rd girl in school had the same name as I did! Wouldn't you think that a name not in common usage would help to set your child apart?

have a son who's 11 and still has accidents a few times a week.
I try not to make a big deal about it b/c I had a problem as a child.
We just do all the things like no or limited liquids. Waking up to go, etc.
I saw a commercial with children my child's age saying oh yea they help.
I sometimes wish they had them when I was a child b/c theres not much worse for a kid that waking up with soaked sheets.
I just can't see saying to my son, here wear these.
Honestly, I think the embarrassment would make a bad situation worse.

My daughter now 11 year old is born left handed. Due to our ignorance, we tried to teach her the 'right' way including writing. She has poor motoring skills and is not doing well in school due to difficulty in concentration. I just learned that this could be due to "convergence problem" because of our intervention to switch her from left to right. Now encouraging her to use which ever hand she is most comfortable with. Any other things we can do to help her further? Thanks!

Cielo- pronounced See-ay-low-, emphasis on the second syllable.

Latin, means "celestial".

Good, bad, or unspeakable?

I hear so many questions (on here and real life) like, how do I get my four year old to stop throwing tantrums? How do I make my 9 year old brush their teeth? How do you get a 2 year old to sit in time out?
Now I have 6 kids, they're all very normal and certainly not perfect angels. I know how kids are, they have bad days, and they all misbehave.
But it seems like some parents have the most ridiculous time with their children, whatever happened to my house, my rules?
They're young children, MAKE them do it!

Besides everything thats going on, my step daughter trying to pysically harm my son I have done all the advice people have given me. But, my step daughters Mom will not let her call me her step-mom. Ok, everyone has told me to include her and treat her as my own, and I do and always have. But her Mom is telling her different. Her Mom doesnt want her to be close to me, she doesnt want me to include her or treat her as my own, or as family. She convices her that its not right, and she doesnt have a step-mom. I cant talk to her Mom, she's impossible to talk to, all she does is yell and scream, and no matter what shes right. CONTINUED>>>>>

I have tried giving my baby something apart from milk to drink, but she is not interested in the cup, she just bites the bottom of it or fusses when I try to get her to drink from it. I have given it to her to play with so she's familiar with it but it's not working, please help! Is water that important at this stage that I should be persisting with this?

I am a college student expecting my 3rd child this summer. Are my first 2 kids old enough to babysit while I'm in class (my projected schedule is 2 hours after school, 3 days per week). The baby should be 6 weeks old when class starts. They are very responsible kids, but I'm not sure, even though I babysat starting at age 12.

My other question is: is it fair to have them babysit? When I think of all the free time they have for video games and ipods and such, I think it is; however I understand that it's my baby, not theirs, and I don't want to unduly burden them.

Should I just get a sitter?

I am breastfeeding my daughter. She will be a month old on the 15. However, this past week I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Right up until the surgery I was pumping every 3 hours or so to keep my milk supply up. However for over 24 hours I was unable to pump because of the severe pain I was in. During this whole ordeal, we had no choice but to give her formula (this surgery was tentatively scheduled for Jan so I had not stocked up enough breastmilk yet). I dont seem to be producing as much milk anymore, and while she loves the breastmilk, she won't stay latched on very long. Does anyone have any advice?

I had the best time of my life in my early twenties.

I traveled.
I loved.
I drank.
I did crazy things.
I lived wildly and passionately.
I enjoyed college.
I lived in the moment.

When I see these young people pushing strollers I feel sorry for them. I feel like they've missed out. Let's face it, when you have children your free time is GONE daddy GONE.

My daughter is coming up on being a month old in just a few days. She loves to be held and we love holding her. However, a lot of times, not always, it seems that when she falls asleep, once we put her down, she wakes up and cries. She won't stop crying until she's picked up again. Does anyone have any tips on how to help her sleep and what to do to help her sleep alone?
