the problem is that even though we won't have our first child until 9 weeks from now, I feel like I rarely get to see him and it is hard to find time together. the weekends are rushed right now with nursery preparations and family events. and now we're having a baby. i want to scream.

He has a daily vitamin supplement and fish oil capsules. He won't eat fruit smoothies, dried fruit or fresh fruit with the exception of a handful of sultanas each week. We puree vegetables and add them to tomato based sauces eg spaghetti bolognese. We have tried making him eat foods he doesn't want to eat by giving him a spoon of food before and after it of something he does like eg. a spoon of mince with vegies, followed by baked beans or a spoon of apple puree followed by a spoon of custard. The dietician, paediatrician and community health nurses suggestions have all failed. I don't know what to do from here?? Any suggestions of things that worked for you or recipes I could try. He loves fish, chicken, eggs, bacon, baked beans, bread, pasta, cous cous, apple juice and an occasional milk drink. Help!

Hi im 23 weeks pregnant today and from finding out i was pregnant at 9 weeks up until my 21st week i suffered really bad sickness.. In that 12 weeks of sickness i lost all together 2 stone 3 lbs, because i just stopped eating, i brought everything up so i just didnt see the point in eating, i was depressed too becuase i felt so ill. Now that i have started eating again i feel as thought i am eating loads. Is this normal? After a meal i feel as though i am hungry again and have a snack! I dont want to gain much weight on myself, i would prefer for the weight i gain to be baby! Any comments

After much debate with my 14 year old son about having to wear a cup when he plays baseball I have given up. He completely refuses to wear the cup. So right as we were leaving to go to his practice I pretended to accidenally smack his "area" but I actuallly hit him. I felt sooo bad because I was just trying to scare him. Now what do I do.?

I currently have a full time job at night but I am looking to find something part-time that I can do from home and make a little extra cash. Eventually I would like to quit my evening job and just work from home. Does anyone have any suggestions of any companies that are reputable? Only experienced work at home moms please.

my ex hasn't seen our daughter since she was born. she is now a year old. his name is not on the birth certificate because he refused to acknowlegde his paternity for fear of haveing to pay child support. he keeps emailing me saying how he wants us to work things out and how he misses me but he never metions our child. he just acts like she doesn't exist. the few time he has said anything about her (after i brought her up ) he called her "the baby" i want to tell him to get lost but am afraid that i will be hurting my daughter by keeping him away. at least if i'm with him he'll have to see her. but i'm also afraid that he will make her life miserable. i really hate him now and wish he would go away please hel pme what would you do??? i just don't want my daughter to grow up without her daddy i think if he just spent time with her he would love her as much as i do.

Hi, this is really scary now. i had aphone call from my midwife today saying that i need my blood test to be repeated. i asked why and she said that B/T came bak positive for hBV. I have no idea how I could i get it as I've been with my husband for 4 years and i'm 100% sure bout him. We have never done any drugs in our life, so hepatitis sounds quite a big surprise for us...
Do you know anything about it?
Am I right thinking that if I have been tested positive it might mean that i have antibodies but i don't have active virus.?
How will it affect my baby?
I dont have any symptoms whatsoever... nether my husband does..
I have repeate test and awaiting for results...
Thanks a lot in advance

i'm not part of any church, but in our culture, everyone is always baptised. i'm planning a combined baptismal/1st bday party for my son. i have a couple of questions:

-how much did you donate to the church?
-did you have to take any special classes in order to have your son/daughter baptised at a certain church? my husband and i are required to do this... what do they do at this class?
-did the godparents you picked have to take any special "godparent" class(es)? what do they do at these classes
-what did you have written on the cake?
-how long did the baptismal take?
-how many people did you invite to the ceremony?

any other tips/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We just had Corky's Pest Control come out and spray our house for ants. They used an organic spray inside and told us it was safe for the kids to be around immediatly after but the small is making my husband and I fell sick. The kids seem to be fine and everything I looked up on it says its safe. Should I be concerned- we can't open the windows because they sprayed a stronger chemical outside

My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years and lived together for a little over 2 years. We ar both 20...close to 21 years old. We both have a job, both of us love kids. He always jokes with me about me being pregnant, like kisses my tummy and rubs it and all that stuff. I joked with him one day saying "and what if I were?" He said "good i hope so" It seems like EVERYONE we know has been having a baby. I have had a lot of exprience with kids, my mom had a home daycare from before I was even born and I have worked in daycare centers and taken child devlopment classes and babysit all the time. I always say "oh I dont want a kid until I have the money for one" but a lot of people say if you wait until you have money for a kid then you will never have one. I want a baby but I know they cost a lot to have...When do you think it is right to have a kid? How old were you when you had your first and how was your life at the time? Share your story and opinion with me! Thank you

I've been on birth control pills for almost a year now.. but I recently found out I had a bladder infection so the doctor prescribed me antibiotics... My period was a few days late because the antibiotics mess with the pills..I got my period 2 days after I finished my antibiotics and I had sex on the 3rd day of my period, even though it was very very light. The next day I spotted a little bit but not much at all. I know that antibiotics can cancel out the bc pills, but im wondering what are my chances of being pregnant? even if i was on my period..

My fiance and I were talking about it the other day.

I got mine when I was about 8 1/2...just out of 2nd grade. My cousin got hers about that age too but my friend didn't get one until middle school....Just wondering, did we just get ours earlier than most people, or is this average?

And also, did your aprents make a big deal about it? Hers did, mine didn't. She was totally unprepared but I knew what was going on with my body..Is this how you felt?

If you had read my questions before, then I'm sorry for repeating, but I feel like it has gotten worse.

I was on my period for 35 days. It was more pink than red. Sometimes nothing but the normal color of pee would come out. It started to get heavier towards the last 2 weeks, but it finally stopped.

5 days later, its back on again, except this times, much heavier (not completely heavy, but it is actually coming out looking like blood now.) I have been on this one for 10 days now.

I have taken:
chlamydia---negatice
ghonorrea---negative
pap smear--normal
pregnancy test-negative
thyroid test---normal

my fiancee has taken:
chlamydia---negative
ghonorreah--negative
HIV---negative
AIDS---negative

so none of those are it. I was also prescribed the birth control pills and have been on them for almost a month now.
It doesn't lsound like it's working, does it???


PLEASE any possible scenarios of what might could be wrong with me?!?!?
