My son is 5 and he has an hour commute to and from school every day. Will sitting still for that long harm his health? He is strapped into a harness because of his age, kind of like a car seat. Whats the liklihood of blood clots because of his sitting too long? Any other issues?

My father passed away 5 years ago and my step mother still refuses to let me see his will. He had numerous income properties that she is now handling. Short of getting a lawyer, what can I do? Don't I have a legal right to see whats in his will for myself? How else would I know if there was anything in there for me or my siblings?

I am interested in becoming a doula, and I was wondering what was needed as far as training and education?

I gave birth on Wednesday and over the weekend my milk came in. I am in so much pain, and Motrin doesn't seem to help. I've been using ice packs, too. How long will this last before the milk dries up? Any other suggestions to make life a little easier?

For the past few days I've had near-constant cramping. No bleeding or even spotting. Is it possible it's just my uterus growing really fast because of the twins, or is it more likely something bad has happened to one or both of them? Anyone experience this before?

I'm expecting twins, and I'm having a hard time finding both info and products that are geared towards twins. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm 7 1/2 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy, and I just found out its twins. Over the past 2 days I've had some pretty consistent cramps, almost like a dull ache. I don't remember this with my first pregnancy. Is this just my uterus growing faster because its my 2nd and ts twins? My doctor said to call only if there's bleeding, and there's none.

I had a positive pregnancy test on Monday and my Hcg level was 146. Today I had a second test and my Hcg level was 215. They said it should be at least 245. Anyone else have a low Hcg count and go on to continue their pregnancy?

I'm on the 2ww after IVF and am hypersimulated. Since I'm retaining all this fluid, wouldn't that also retain the hormones I took? Or is it possible I'm preggo?? I've taken 2 HPT's and got Fint line, but that could be residual HcG from the IVF.

I'm looking for an easy short hairstyle. I have naturally wavy, thick dark brown hair, and not a lot of time ( or patience) to do anything with it. I hate having my hair in my face, so those styles with the bangs in your eyes won't work for me. I'm also a bit heavy, so I want something feminine without going for the regular old bob. ANy suggestions or websites I could go to?

Thanks

My husband works for NY State, and has the Empire plan insurance. The website is impossible to navigate. Does anyone know if NYS has a plan that reimburses employees for adoption? So many companies do this, so I'm hoping so. If so, where do you find that information?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what this is? Would I have better luck going in July? Is June usually good beach-weather?

I had to cancel a doctors appointment for today, as I don't have a sitter for my 2 year old. It's not the kind of appointment I can bring him to, either. I don't have a history of cancelling appointments. Can they really charge me for it?

I'm planning on buying a used car and I want to make sure I have enough money to pay all the closing costs- title, etc. What exactly do I have to pay for and how much will it cost?

I'm planning on trading in my old car and getting a newer one. What do I need to be able to do it in one day? What do I need to bring for my trade-in and what do I need to get for the new car?

My husband just got a job with NY State, and he doesn't have any info on his benefits yet. We're trying to get pregnant, and we've heard that the state covers infertility 100%. Anyone know if that's true? What about infertility meds?

All the Made in America toys I find are wooden, which I don't want because my 9 month old chews on everything. Any companies use plastic?
