Is there anyone out there who has had a C-section and their tubes tied @ the same time and have abdominal pain now and then. After having 4 normal deliveries the 5th one had to be done by C-section and I agreed to have my tubes tied. But I get abdominal pain every now and then and period cramps are worse then before. Anyone know anything or similar experience?
Ashton is nearly 6weeks old and still has no routine what so ever :( He still has days and nights mixed up. Its even harder to get him into a routine cos ill sleep in the day too cos im exuasted after the long nights -6 whole weeks of them-
During the day i mostly have him in the loungeroom, my house is very bright during the day and the tv is on and he will also hear othe rnoises, like the kettle, water running, vacumming ect but he sleeps through it all!! He feeds really good during the day but not at night. At night he takes tiny amounts n falls asleep and you can scream and he still wont wake up, but he does 10mins later. HE just cat naps during the night. His worst times are between 11pm and 5am. I try and keep him up and wake him up during the day but he isnt interested, he wants to sleep. He also goes out nearly everyday but will still just sleep.
How can i get him to learn day and night?? I cant handle getting to bed at 6am then waking every1-2 hrs to feed him and in the end i get like 4hrs max sleep all together.
my 2 12 yr old has suddenly been wanting to snack ALL DAY LONG> i do my best to make sure she gets 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, but she doesn't like to eat breakfast. anyway, the last 2 days even right after a big meal she is asking for hot dogs, popsicles, candy, chips, or anything else she can think of. if i tell her no she has a tantrum. and when its over, she thinks of something else to ask for and it starts over. does anyone have any advice for me? how do i know if she's really hungry, or just bored?
I want to loose about 15 kgs. I have joined a gym and i am going 3 times a week, but my diet sucks, and i feel like i am wasting my time at the gym if i dont eat properly too... BUT, i am aweful at this sort of thing
So i was wondering if anyone has any successful diet plans or even some meal tips. Honestly, a whole weeks worth of breakfast lunch and tea would be perfect LOL (yes i am that bad) I have worked out to loose the weight i want, i need to stay at about 1500 calories a day... But i am lost after that.
I know the normal stuff, no junk food, soft drink etc... I really am talking about main meal ideas.
Please dont tell me about shakes. I am not interested in them. I need to eat LOL
Being parents is the hardest job in the world. I don't think there is any other job where you are directly influencing another's life. But since there is no manual, I'm sure everyone at one point second guesses themselves.
Can you share any moments or instance or something your child did that made you think, "hey, I'm doing pretty good raising this child!"
My child came up to me one day and said, "I don't want you to be sad because I love you!'.
When you find yourself about to blow up and lose your temper with your child, what are some of the techniques you use to calm yourself down? And I don't mean that you calm yourself from hitting your child, I want to hear your day to day techniques to keep from losing it.
My son is 12 years old and has almost no motivation in school or at home. I have tried offering rewards but he still does not find doing the work worth his time. He has been grounded due to his grades and doesn't seem to mind having no television, video games, or even being outside to play. he just doesn't seem to care. He will not help around the house. Does anyone have any advice?
I was wondering if non-members, like grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. can read my blog without signing on as a minti member? Most don't have children or have grown children and I don't think they would be very interested in joining. I've looked around for the answer to this question, and maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I can't find it. Thanks for all the help.
i have been having little pains for the past few days, but i don't know if it's braxton hicks contractions. what is it supposed to feel like? also i' ve been having alot of vaginal discharge, is that normal? i'm 33 weeks.
My 18 month old tried tomatoes on Sunday..Loved them of course lol..However, she developed a little rash on her chest..I am not sure the two are realated as she's never had any sort of reaction to food before..The rash doesn't bother her in any way..
I am just trying to put two and two together..Has your child had this reaction before to food?
Hey I know this is a very touchy topic but I was wondering if any parents from Perth have had there son/s circumsised? If so how did they go bout? I know I should go to my GP but I am scared that they will judge me or tell me its wrong.
Hi I have got my tubes done after my baby bout 18 months ago cause I had enough c-sections, but now my periods are that heavy they are nearly uncontrollable It is getting that way that I am afraid to leave the house cause it may go every where while I am gone, my mum had her tubes done and only gets hers about once every three to six months has anyone got this problem or know if it is normal?
resently me and my boyfriend has been trying to have a child and everyone around us is having a child but not us and there is nothing wrong with us its taking a while and im starting to think it isn't going to happen we will never start a family
I know someone recently asked this question, but the solutions don't work in my case. My boy will be playing with a toy then for no reason throw them, I have tried to take the toys off of him but he just keeps doing it, he doesn't care if i tell him off. He sometimes does it on purpose I don't know why? as he gets plenty of attention as he is wif me 24/7 soon he will be with me 24/6 as he starts Daycare soon.
How can i stop him from throwing his toys around??

D-oes anyone know if stopping taking amytripline causes any side affects? Barry has been taking them the ladt 2weeks they really arnt suiting him . If he didnt stop taking them i was going to leave him . Its just i dont want to throw them in the bin (although he thinks they are in the bin) if its going to make him worse .
Ok so its not directly parenting but it is because my kids need me not to be sick. . Is there anything i can take meaning food/drink that will give me estrogen.????
I have been thinking about having one more child b4 i tie my tubes! It will be a health risk right now to fall pregnant . If i wait a few years at least 2 all should be fine. I wont wanna wait that long, so do i take a slight chance and have one now or do i wait until there isnt a risk and re think then???? What would you guys do!!!!????
The reason that i would be a health risk is bec i have had a op in the last month that they used the same c section opening.
