Melodie's Momma!!

Just looking for some help of course its after hours so i can't call my doctor yet but i will tomorrow if i still cant feel anything. I had it inserted last friday morning which ended up pretty well (not to much cramping, bleeding etc) My boyfriend and i had intercourse on saturday night which after i was able to feel the string, and since then have had intercourse a couple of times. This morning though we had intercourse and since then i havent been able to feel the string?

How normal is this? has anyone had this happen before? I will call my doctor in the morning but in the mean time i dont want to panic if this has happened to someone before ... im not in pain.. no heavy bleeding all seems pretty normal..(at least the normal ive experienced in the last couple days)

Any helpers?

Thanks so much

My daughters 2 years old and for the last 2 years has had the same bedtime routines and had no problems. my boyfriend and i went away last weekend and since then she has been throwing these horrible tantrums at bedtime and has been smacking her head so hard on the floor she now has a huge bruise and its swollen out. I need some advise shes thrown the odd tantrum here and there but nothing like this. Recently she started to potty train and has has been doing amazing this is her 2nd month with no mistakes.. at bed time she tries to say she has to pee about 20-30 times.. of course we put her on the potty she goes normally before bed and thats it we will bring her out and try when she says but we know its a game.

we are in some need of help we dont want her hurting herself obvisiously and its getting out of hand. we've tried keeping her up later and it just makes her extremely tired and worse. we try putting her to bed earlier and she screams for an hour or more. this is her first heat wave and we are keeping her cool so we dont know what else is the problem. She eats well and sleeps well normally.. when she falls asleep shes out for the night but its the getting to sleep thats the problem with these fits.

Thanks so much in advance!

Our daughters 19 months and was always a great sleeper and still is as long as we stay in the room with her until she falls asleep... we've let her cio in the past but she really only whined for 5 min and fell asleep.. now its totally different but we cant keep sleeping her room and we definitley dont want her sleeping in ours.

I dont want to hear "cio" is bad dont do it.. this is not an opinion question this is a question for people who let their kids cio and for how long.

Thanks!

Last monday we just moved and had to put my 19 month old in her toddler bed as she kept trying to climb out of her crib, All in a day she had a few major changes plus now she getting another molar or two in. She use to fall asleep fine on her own sometimes she'd fuse for a min or two but otherwise it was fine..

Now.. she falls asleep fine but only if we are in the room with her, once shes asleep shes asleep sometimes she wakes up between 1-3 once which then i have to go downstairs and put her back into bed lie beside her(on the floor) and wait until she falls asleep. This is how we have to get our sleep and make sure she gets her's .. if we dont lie on the floor or sit in her room until shes asleep she stands at the door banging and screaming.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated, i'm use to the lack of sleep but with the move last week and still having to work during the day at my job and on weekends at my other job at the bar i don't know how long i can do it for...(my boyfriend tries to do it with my daughter to give me a break but shes also in her "mommy" stage right now.. oh the joys =) ..lol)

thanks in advance for your help!

My daughter is 16 month old and im new at the girl thing...(well not new as my daughter is 16 months) but i have 4 nephews ranging from 4-12 years old and this was the first girl in the family. Since about a year she got the curiosity of her "whowho" (we call the vagina her whowho) for the past few weeks shes ALWAYS touching it and playing wtih it and we tell her no but shes only 16 months theres only so much you can say to her that she understands.

i know with my nephew they were constantly playing with their "birds" but i dont remember when that started...

my question is...is it normal for this age? or could their be something bugging her about it(yeast infection) ..she had a yeast infection before from her bubble bath and would get a rash from it she has no rash nothing seems wrong(it is a little red but she plays with it every chance she can get)

Any help would be great..thanks in advance!

My daughter just started going to daycare 2 weeks ago and just got roseola again... shes done with the fevers and has had the rash for a day and a half now but will the daycares let her go back tomorrow morning??

Apparently according to my doctor the contagious part starts before the fever which was last wednesday. (i am going to call the daycare i just wanted to know personal experience)

Ive notice in the last week or so my daughter has had a lil bit runnier poops then normal.. shes 15 months old and her poops have never been completely solid even though shes been eating our food since around 9 months. I asked her doctor before and she said it was normal with the milk and formula .. but the last week ive been noticing alot more of what she eats in her poop(for instance she had some grapes and blueberries this morning and she had some not full but almost in her bowel movement) im so sorry to be giving this kinda detail but i just need to know if its something i should worry about or if it is normal like her doctor said..

What does your son/daughters bowel movements look like at this age....she eats extremely well and extremely heathly.. with the occasional french fry or something not soo soo healthy.

Again sorry for the TMI.. but i dont know if i should worry..

Thanks

When did your baby climb couches and everything in site??

How many words could they say that you understood what they were talking about?

How long did it take them to run after walking?

When did they master using the spoon/fork?

How old when you started to potty train?

What is your toddlers favorite activity?

My daughter is going to be 15 months next week and im just curious and bored lol

I came here to ask because i need a chili recipe thats good for my 14 month old to eat. Shes already eaten a bunch of spices and tomatoes. I need something not so spicy and when i look online everything is for red hot chili.. So im asking any moms or dads out there with a good chili recipe to help me out. Im using ground beef and red kidney beans in it.

thanks

My baby girl has been an excellent eater up until last week. She normally eats whatever you put in front of her face plus some(has been like this since about 9 months old) the last week has been over 40+ here, we live in Ont Canada so shes not use to this weather yet. Im wondering if any moms have any meal ideas for a hot day that will make her interested in eating

i come on this website to read, ask and answer questions and im seriously getting so sick of all these questions and comments about the pictures... Like get over it.. i dont think its disgusting..i personally wouldnt do it cuz now people are just doing it to prove a point.. well the point has been made so why doesnt everyone get on with their lives...

Its on thing to have the heated debate on breast and bottle .. now we have this.. gotta love it...

Is anyone else as sick of it as i am... like i sd Im NOT against your pictures.. im just sick of the talk...

Im just curious to see how many people have there little one that is over the recommended age to switch to forward facing still rear facing? How old are they and how much do they weigh?? Do u have them still rear facing for safety? or if you have them forward facing why??

My daughters 13 months and is 22 lbs and she will be rear facing until she is 35 lbs(as thats the maximum weight for my car seat for her to be rear facing)

My daughter is almost 13 months and since she was a baby has maybe thrown up 2 or 3 times (and 2 of the times is when we were first starting out BF) today she has thrown up 3 times and i have no idea what could be doing this. She's eating normal and im not over feeding her and shes ate the same thing she always has nothing new.

Im wondering if anyone has an idea what could be making her throw up (obvisiously i know you cant see her so you wont know 100%) but has anyones little ones just been sick one day and thats it.. i know we get upset stomachs sometimes but i dunno shes not a puker and its kinda freaky!

Thanks in advance

I wanna do some homemade burgers tonight, i have ground beef, eggs, onion, a variety of spices .. and of course ketchup lol... i wanna make 2 lbs worth and i was looking up some recipes online and some are way to crazy and others tell u to freeze them overnight .. how to make a simple burger with the ingredients i have that taste good.. i do have some bread to but its not dry...

Thanks so much in advance!

Everyone says my daughter has small feet.. just curious what size your lil ones are?

My daughter is 12 months old and is on **** milk already... when she was on formula and did this due to her teething i wasnt so concered.. but this time she is getting get other top tooth and is in alot of pain and only seems to want to eat her cheerios or a lil bit of applesauce... she did this everytime she got new teeth in before but i just dont know if i should let her skip the meals.. she is a fabulous eater any other time and we have no problems.. i know if she was hungry she would eat and she does.. but its just fruit and cheerios.. ive offered her so much and thats all she chooses...

and i cant give her baby jar food cuz she pukes off it everytime.. she makes herself gag and she hasnt been able to eat that since about 7-8 months.

What do you other momma do?

I dunno what to do or say ne more and i dunno who to talk to about this.. my boyfriend of 7 years and i have a 12 month baby.. we started dating when we were 15 and lived together since we were 18 and now we are 22.. he has always been on and off jobs.. never lasted anywhere for over 6 months.. well finally for about a year now he has an amazing job with amazing benefits and now he doesnt know if he could "do it" anymore.. he is such an amazing person but for working he sucks.. he has a dream of owning his own business but at 22 we have lack of funds(to start a business) and he has lack of education but still wants to just quick his job and do this... I have no idea what to do ne more.. i thought after having this baby that he would just wanna do what is best for her.. and he still jsut thinks about himself... he doesnt want me to go back work as we dont qualify for childcare subsisty as he makes to much money and we'd be paying 200 dollars a week for child care.. i seriously am at my ends somedays and i think i just needed to vent as everyone im friends with am friends with him and may tell him... i love my bf very much and have tried talkin sense to him but i just dont know what to do.. tell him hes an idiot n that he has an amazing job and how the economy is he should be stayin at what he has.. or just let him do what he wants and bring us down with him... i keep telling him id go back to work fulltime and he can go pt and stay home with our daughter but he doesnt like that idea either.. please help.. what would you ladies or gents do in this situation.. ne advice please?

My daughter just turned 1 last week and for about a month and a half she has been walking with everything she can get her hands on and push... just last week tho she took her first 12 or so steps but havent done it since... so just curious on what other moms/dads think of when my lil one will be cruising on her own... Im not in a total rush i want her to do it when shes good and ready.. but it is really cute and it would be so much easier shes getting heavy lol

I help my friend do this baby contest on facebook..(its just for fun.. not exploiting babies.. just a contest for people in our city) and i was wondering if anyone has some cute theme ideas... this week for instants is funny faces.. and last week was mom and baby... ne ideas would help

Thanks In Advance!!!
