Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 December 2007

I'm 20 years old and throughout my life, I haven't had any significant growth. Actually, it seems that even though I gained a tiny bit of weight (I'm 113 pounds right now at the height of 5'4".. the last measurements I can remember was when I was 14 and I weighed 103 pounds at the height of about 5'2").. I tried on some clothes from my past and my clothes from when I was about 15 or 16 and before that is too big for me now. It doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. Before that time I would dress in girls' clothes up until I found some size 0 and 1 in juniors' clothing. I'm a size 3 now. Is it possible for me to get a growth spurt even though I'm 20 now?

I need a name for a girl who trouble likes to follow.
Originality is a plus, but isn't necessary.
If you can, please include it's definition and origin.
Thanks a bunch!

My son is having trouble going #2. I have to help him along with a rectal thermometer and give him a tsp of karo syrup in his bottles. He is on a special formula called Nutramigen (about 10 days now). He is cranky and always seems to be trying to push. Also, since he is now on this formula, he tends to spit up a bit. Not too much, though. I wish there was more I could do for him, he just seems so uncomfortable. I've been to the doc twice and she changed the formula. I don't want to call her for every little problem. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. How many times a day should baby be going and is it too soon for a tsp of oatmeal is his bottle? Thanks

Is it possible for multiple quantitative blood tests to produce false negatives at around what would be 10 weeks along? Can a woman never test positive on a quantitative blood test? Is it safe to say that results of <1 on 3 of these tests means that I am not pregnant?

My 18 month old son has always had problems with poop. He goes 3+ times a day, and his poop burns his bottom. We always change him immediately, but he always gets a red butt, and sometimes (like now) he gets open blisters. I can't stand it. It hurts him so much. He screams when we clean him up (even just putting on desitin) and refuses to sit down in his bath tub. We had him to a gastroenterologist last spring, but the Dr. acted like he was still in the normal range. My pedi doesn't act very concerned when I tell her about it either. He is otherwise healthy, active, and happy.....but this is killing us. I hate seeing him suffer with this. Do any other kids have this problem? Is this actually normal? What can we do?

this past weekend i had to work a long shift and my fiance was out of town and he usually watches the baby on weekends while im at work but he went out of town to see his mother for the hollidays. on the weekdays my step mother watches him. well, my step mom had to work and get some last minute shopping done so i had to have my fiance's aunt watch my son ( who is 8 1/2 months old). i always pack everything to included breastmilk and soldids and everyone knows that i am very strict with what i give my son. well, i packed some food for my son and while i was at work my fiance returned and picked our son up from his aunts-he didnt tell m e this until the next day but she was giving him CHEETOES. i was so mad by this. i know it wasnt going to kill him but she knows how i am and it's not her baby to be giving junk food not to mention that some dairy gives him diarrhea. it's not good for adults so why on earth wouldd it be good for a baby- he doesnt even have any teeth

okay, let me explain this so that it makes some sense... i already have 2 children, and dont remember feeling this with them. i am 23 weeks pregnant, and have had a really hard time putting on weight.(keep in mind i already weigh about 200 pounds) i didnt worry at first, but being down 5 pounds at 6 months has all of my doctors worried. ive had numerous ultrasounds, and the baby is fine and is putting on weight like she is supposed to, but i am worried about my bones and muscles. Not the question, it just kind of goes with it. my question is, is it normal to feel the baby laying sideways, and causing serious cramps in my side? if i push up against her, she will move and it will alleviate it for a while, and if i am up and moving around it doesnt bother me at all, it seems just to get to me when i have been sitting down for a while. sorry for the long message, i just did'nt want anyone having to ask nore questions intead of just giving me an answer. thanks

I can't stand the way my in-laws parent. This Christmas they let their children to play with this electronic toy which no one could think or talk over. When I said I had enough of it then allowed their children to continue playing with this toy annoying everyone including the dog. They allowed their children to tease the dog without saying a word and when the dog finally barked at them a lecture was given to us about why they don't trust dogs and kids together. What do you do with these people? I can't stand being around them and their kids.

So far it has been three days since i have missed my period. I'm usually on track, - it started earlier this year on the twenty-sixth and then progressed to the twenty-third as the year continued on. Now it is the 26th of December and I am three days late I've had sex recently, about on the 10th, and the only "symptoms" i'm having is the itty-bitty cramps (controversially, when i get my period, i get major cramps) and that i'm a little tired, but nothing else. I know I haven't used the pregnancy kit yet, but that is because yesterday was Christmas Day, alas, the stores were closed and today i totally forgot to go because I dread the packed stores (since it is Boxing Day). With due respect, i hope anyone can answer my question: Does this mean I am pregnant? Thanks for your time; it is MUCH appreciated.

My friends ex took his 2 year old little girl away that he had been sharing 50% custody for 7 months with and had been there with her from birth. He loves his girl like his own damn child which wow it is she's being selfish and sais shes taking the child away because she sais she's afraid her child will get hurt because he drinks. He is in my opinion like any other great dad with his own life going on with a new girlfriend in their own apartment. The little girl has her own room.

what are the laws on this kinda thing about kidnapping or what are his rights on this situation and what should he do to get her back because it is his week to have her like they have been agreeing on untill the change on x-mas eve started with the ex girlfriend the mother of his little girl.

If you go to the hospitol having contractions and not dialating do they still send you home? because you obviously dont have to be dialated to have a c section. im confused about this. I know they will send you home if nothing progresses if your having a natural birth but what do they do if your having a c section? and your full term?
btw i am 3 cm and 50 % effaced

Each side has issues with the other side. Each side makes the other side feel defensive about their choices and decisions. How should both sides smooth over relations with the other while remaining true to their own beliefs?

Additionally, although I don't have children of my own, I definitely plan to breastfeed. I admit that I believe breast is best, but I would never openly criticize a bottlefeeding mom for her choice.

Also, I am not looking for derogatory responses directed towards either side. Just productive suggestions because I have seen nasty debates several times over and it drives me insane.

This isn't about me by the way but I was wondering.
Would you ask him straight out and see what he replied or wait and see if he said anything?
Would you think about his upbringing and wonder if you possibly "caused" him to turn that way - or what would you do?
As I say this is nothing to do with me but the thought crossed my mind and I would be interested in what those who *did* suspect such would do - or what they *have* done.
