I Have Just Found Out My Sister In Law Is Pregnant And Its A Boy So We Are Looking For Nice Boys Names

2007-12-27 03:49:43 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous in Baby Names

My son will not eat. I have tried making him stay at the table for 20 minutes, then I'll send him to bed for 4 minutes, then get him back up and put the plate in front of him again and when he still refuses, he'll go to bed for the night. I'll think that he'll be hungry in the morning but it's the same thing everyday. Ususally I give in and let him snack on chips or fruit snacks so at least he's getting something in his tummy because I'm terrified of the fact that he will not eat. This has been going on for 2 and 1/2 years and we have been to at least 5 nutrisionists (sp) who have not helped in the least. I am concerned about his development but the doctors say that he is fine. He is a very smart boy, he does not cause any trouble at school but no one seems to understand the fact that you almost have to force him to eat. I've tried just about everything and came across this website online and thought I'd give it a try. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Does anybody know about when a baby starts to hold their head up? Also my son has these red bumps on his face, head and right at his collar line. We are using everything hypoallergnic. And we have changed nothing on us either, any thoughts as to what it may be?

I'm 29 weeks along today, with my 1st, its a boy. I called yesterday and signed up for child birth classes...There are 3 classes 3 1/2 hours long. Well they only hold them in the evenings so my fiance wont be able to go sense he works 2nd shift...my mom is going to go with me..which is nice because she will be in the room with me also when I have him. I'm just kind of upset because he cant be there. I dont want people thinking I dont have a father for my baby. Am I just being stupid?

I just had my daughter 2 1/2 months ago. I had an emergency c-section after 2 1/2 days of labor. I couldn't dilate past a 2, even with having my water broke. Found out my pelvic bone is too narrow for a baby to fit through (baby was avg sz). When I asked about future kids, my doctor STRONGLY insisted a scheduled c-section. .

My question is this... When I get pregnant next time, will a midwife be willing to accept a patient who will definitely be getting a c-section? I am not willing to attempt a VBAC as my doctor (who was strongly in favor of natural birth at the beginning) was very determined in his warnings against it due to my pelvic bone. The doctor that delivered my baby was AWESOME, but he is about to relocate. I've heard so many wonderful stories about midwives and would love to be in one's care for my next pregnancy.

Advice or experience would definitely be helpful!

doctor wants to induce me next Friday (I'll be 41 weeks then). I'm worried about being induced because I hear it is more painful, more risk of cesarean (I've already had 2 surgeries in the past year and a half and I DON'T want another!) They have not even done a nonstress test or an ultrasound to check the baby. It is just routine for them to induce at 41 weeks. Will this be ok? Should I trust my doctor?

I was at my first doctor first yesterday and during my examination he said my uterus was pushed back, which is bad, but it was enlarged as well, which is good.
What does he mean? He suggested an ultra-sound after the exam. I'm eight weeks along.

I just have a ton of contractions all the time, I am always physically exhausted, and for the past 2 days I feel nauseated. I just have this terrible fear of my water breaking while working, at the grocery store, walking, etc.

I am a single mom and have raised my daughter alone for the last 11 years.she is a senior in high school and will be leaving off to college next fall. All these years my life was pretty much whatever she was doing , she has always been active in band and all types of other groups in school so i was always there cheering and encouraging her. I just wonder how do parents cope with this. I would never hold her back or even tell her of the anxiety I am feeling , so i thought I would get advice from parents or single parents of how they handled their situations.

I'm thinking about buying a wrap to carry my son in because the front carrier I use is just not comfortable for me because I am short. My husband mainly uses that one. Does anyone have any wraps that they have used and would reccomend them? Thanks in advance!

At first I wasn't going to breast feed at all...but now I'm thinking I might try and if it goes okay then I plan on doing it for the first month. I don't really want to do it for that long but I was wondering if I only do it for 4 weeks or so is this still better then not doing it at all? Btw I'm 29 weeks along with my first, its a boy, Nolan Christopher.

Recently I have come across some difficulties with my daughter. She is almost 16 months old. She is very much above average for her age. Now she is starting to throw temper tantrums. She bangs her head on the ground and slams her body backwards, when you dont allow her to do something. I know she understands what no means but she does not care! She keeps doing it over and over even if it will hurt her. I dont spank so I dont know what to do. Do I need to spank her. Or how can I make her understand. She is dangerous! My other child was never like this. So I dont know how to make her mind. I need help now before she is out of control and really hurts herself. She is a great eater takes her naps well and sleeps for 12hrs a night. It is just when she gets a tanturm i cant make her understand not to touch. Please help my husband and I are at a loss with her.

My daughter is 5 1/2 months old. She woke up at 4:30 and threw up:( Since 4:30 this morning (it is now almost 11) she has only eaten 4oz of formula. She is constantly crying. Her temperature is 100.9. I have been holding her and cuddling her ever since she woke up but she just keeps crying/whining. She has been sick before, but she hasn't cried this much. I have tried giving her gatoraid so she won't get dehydrated but she won't drink it. I am worried she will get dehydrated. Is there anything I can do to make sure she doesn't get dehydrated, if she won't drink anything? Also, she is teething now. Could her constant crying be due to her teething or her being sick?

I am 29 weeks pregnant, and I have an appointment today where I have to drink that nasty glucose stuff, but also they are checking for some other things. I was in the hospital last Tuesday night with strong braxton hick and they have continued to the point where they are starting to hurt, I was having anywhere from 2-4 an hour all day yesterday, they told me not to go to the hospital unless I had 5 an hour for 2 consecutive hours....does this seem normal for me to be feeling these so strongly yet? Also my entire vaginal area feels like a giant bruise, it hurts to get up, sit down, lay down, anything and everything, what could this be? They said they are checking me for dialation today, isn't it to early? I just dont understand, 2 weeks ago I felt great, why is this happening now? Do you think my baby will be premature?
