Good morning to you all! I was just wondering, do hospitals still have nurseries, and if so, is there someone in the hospital nursery at all times? Normally, how many people are there in there? I was just thinking that sometimes, there are probably a lot of babies, so I was wondering if they have like multiple people in there with them all? Normally, how long do the babies stay in the nursery?

I am having my first child at the end of December and am a single mom. Do I qualify for assistance for things like WIC? I've heard that while on maternity leave, you can qualify for disability? Is that true? I won't actually have any income for as long as I take off work and my bills won't stop. What options have I got out there?! Advice would be real appreciated here!

okay...i'm 31 weeks preg and i had a check-up today at 2:00. i got there 15 minuts early and signed in. i waited and waited. there was only one couple in the waiting room when i got there. people would come in after i was already there and go straight back to the rooms. after i had been there for an hour (its now 3:00) they called me back to pee in the cup and take my blood pressure. then they told me to go back to the waiting room. i sat there for another 45 minuts while people came and left. finally i had enough and stormed out. i'm changing my Doctor monday morning. BTW this was only the 2nd time i had been to the Dr. b/c i didn't see a Dr. until i was 26 weeks preg b/c i didn't have insurance and now that my husband is paying $120.00+ a WEEK i feel as if i shouldn't have to "wait in line" for that freakin long just to see the dr. for a check up. was i wrong to storm out? (i didn't technically storm...just left in a huff...)

I had my first child two weeks ago and I had to have an episiotomy. I was just wondering how long it takes for the stitches from it to disolve? Also, about how long does postpartum bleeding last?

I am due any day now and I am having some issues..lol. I dont know if its a protective instinct or what. I have been with my husband for 5 years now and married for two. This is our first baby together and I feel that it is so special and sacred. I already have this feeling that I dont want certain people to hold him, or let him be in a car with certain people. Im so afraid that he will die in his sleep because I read that white male babies are more likely to die from SIDS and that scares the pee out of me! I just feel like Im not going to get any sleep because Im gonna be starring at him to make sure he is breathing. Also people (such as parents and In-laws) are already telling me how to raise my baby and this drives me crazy! I just want to say this is my baby and I will take care of him the way I think he should be taken care of! Lol am I going crazy or have you all went through the same thing?

We have a 2yr old and a baby on the way. We both work full time. I never feel like I do anything well enough, like the house is never clean enough etc, etc. I don't even really care if I have any friends outside of work, because I just want to come home and spend all my free time with my daughter. It never feels like there are enough hours in a day. Do other families feel the same?

My baby is going to have a baby... I am devestasted. I am mad, upset, hurt, angry, scared, numb, and feel like the world that I knew is gone. I know that she is should be the focus right now, but I am having a hard time dealing with my own feelings. How could she go and do this? Why??? Why me??? Why her??? Can I kill the jerk that is going to be the baby's father??? Should I send him to jail. I tried to keep them a part, I should of tried harder to get him sent to jail when he would not stop seeing her, but she keep seeing him too. So it wasn't all him, but he is an adult and she just turned 16. I just need to get this off my chest. I don't know that there is going to be any real meaning to this or logic. What are we going to do? Am I ready to raise another child, know that she is not. I screwed mine up so badly, I don't want to screw someone else up too. Maybe it would be best if we gave it up for adoption. But she doen't want to do that. I don't know that I could do that.

Can a male teenager or young adult be successful babysitters? I understand that the majority of babysitters are female, but I believe a child could also benefit from a positive male role model to guide them along.

Dateline, "To Catch A Predator?" I cannot believe some of the guys that go to meet these minors. One of them was the 48 year old head of a cancer research unit in a hospital. What's wrong with these people? I'm not a parent, but that's just scary to think that any child could be in that position...singled out by perverts like that. That's why I try to watch whatever my little brother is doing when he goes on the computer...he's only 12, so he's just starting to experience the "fabulous" world of the internet.

I have taken a pregnacy which so far came back negative. I have had normal month to month periods. Could I be pregnant and its just to early for it to show up on a pregnancy test?

My baby is 2 months old,

When your infant is startled or feels like she is falling she throws her arms out to the side. This is the Moro Reflex,.
When my daughter does it it scares me and doesnt seem normal.
She will be lying on the bed, changetable or bassinette and she looks like her arms are involuntary pinned for about 5 seconds, vibrating with a look of absolute terror. When they relax she starts to cry.

When I asked and my pediatrician called me back, he already had it in his head what it was from the description passed on by the nurse and I dont think he was even listening to me.

It just doesnt look normal to me, in this video the Moro reflex lasts only for a second, not 5 seconds and the infants doesnt appear to have her arms pinned involuntarily down.
My baby seems unaffected before and after... should I get a second opinion or wait another month when she reaches 3 months and is supposed to grow out of it?

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?
