hi.

i have a 5 month old son who is having terrible trouble teething. well basically hes awake most nights from 2-3 am every morning and wont go back to sleep because hes in alot of pain with them. i have given all the usual stuff like calpol teething gel a little bit of ice on his gums but nothing seems to work. when i had my daughter who is now 4 calpol and teething gel worked fine for her and i never had a problem with it but im completely stuck with my son as to what else to give him as nothing seems to help has anyone got ay suggestions as to what else i can do to help with the pain?

please no rude comments and thank you in advance.

Hi i have a 5 month old baby boy, the past 4 days all he seems a lot more tired then usual. It doesn't matter how much i try and keep him awake he just seems to want to sleep all the time. He is feeding well and taking his usual amount of feeds and when he is a awake he seems happy in himself and doesn't appear to be ill or anything.I just wondered what this could be i have spoken to the G.P she doesn't seem to be too worried but something is still inside me saying this isn't right. has anyone else has this? if so what caused it.

please no rude answers and also thank you in advance.

hi, i have a 3 year old cat she keeps being sick everyday, this has been going on for 2-3 weeks. At first i thought it may be fur balls causing it, as there was hair in the sick but now there isn't and its just whatever shes eaten either meat or biscuits. We have never changed her food so idon'tt think its that. Shes mainly an indoor cat but does gooutt side to go the loo. What could be causing this?

im having a really bad day where i feel like i cant cope. i found out today my dad isnt very well and we dont how long he has left, and when i tried to talk to a friend about how im feeling they just bumpbed me off to go out their b/f. does anyone else have days where they just cant cope with anything?

I have a 4 year old daughter and a 3 month old son, the past 4/5 weeks my daughter has become very fussy with her food and is also playing up a lot more then she used too. My son has been in hospital on and off for 8 weeks with fits so i have been there a lot with him. I have also been in hospital myself with heart problems. I have tried my best to make my time with er extra special, i use the naughty step and also reward good behaviour but im not sure what to do any more. Her behaviour hasn't improved at all with these techniques.

How do i go about improving her behaviour and eating habits?

thank you in advance.

My son is 13 weeks ld and has been teething for about 4 weeks. The past 48 hours he has been off his feeds but still about 4-5 oz's whereas he would normally take about 7 oz's so i put it down to his teething, but he has been asleep since 9 am this morning and was due for a feed at 11.30. Should i wake him for his feed or leave him to sleep? am i panicking about nothing?

Hi. i gave birth to my son 9 weeks ago. after 2 weeks my bleeding stopped, then cam back on about 1 week after that, im not sure if that was my period or not but i haven't had one since. I have had sex but have used protection every time. i have been under a lot of stress the pass 4 weeks as my son has been in and out of hospital. I have a 4 year old daughter and i bled for 5 weeks with her then 2 weeks after it stopped i had a period. and they were regular after that.

could i be pregnant or am i late due to stress?? i have had no pregnancy symptoms. Is it normal to have irregular periods after a 2nd child? i would be very grateful for some advice.

thanks in advance.

Hi. I have a 4 year old daughter, she started vomiting at 11 pm last night and was being sick every half an hour until 8.30 this morning. She hasn't been sick since then, but has only has about 2 beakers of water since 6.30 last night. She goes to bed at 7 and i always give her water to take with her but she hasn't drunk that. She has only had half a biscuit to eat since her tea which was at 5 pm yesterday evening, she has also only been to the toilet once she 6.45 last night. She normally goes when she gets up and at lunch time, she only went at 1 pm today.

She is also complaining of tummy ache, a headache, dizziness and also her legs are aching. I was just wondering anyone could give me advice as i have tried to make her eat and drink but she is just not interested. I am in 2 mind if i should phone the docs as my mum says it just a bug and not to worry but im also concerned if she doesn't eat or drink is she dehydrated??

Thank you in advance.

P.S she has temperature of 38.1 degrees c.

Hi. I have 2 children, my daughter aged 4 years and my son 6 weeks old. I dont work as am a full time mum, but my partner ( the childrens dad) works full time. I feel like im struggling sometimes to look after the children keep the housework up and general day to day stuff. But the problem i have is iour son hasnt bonded with my partner and my partner gets quite upset that our son wont settle with him or doesnt wanna go too him. Im not sure how to help them to bond, as he bonded straight away with our daughter and is very very close to her, so this is a first for me. He will sit there playing with him singing to him for hours but they just dont seem to bond. So any advice on how i can help them to bond would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for answers xx

Hi. my baby boy is 6 weeks old. He normally feeds 4-5 oz's every four to four and a half hours, but since yesterday he will only take about 2 - 3 oz's of milk. He seems to be drawing his legs up to his stomach, but i have tried winding him, and have also given him colic drops to see if they help but nothing seems to work. He seems very sleepy, he keeps falling asleep on my but whenever he is put down or handed to someone else he screams. Please could someone give me some advice as to what this could beand anything i can do to help him settle and take his bottle better.

Thanks in advance for answers

Hi.

Im 38 weeks + 5 days pregnant. since last night i have been getting mild type period pains and some leaking but since i woke up this morning i have come down with the runs to the point now where i basically cant move away from the loo for more then 10 minutes. I was just wondering if this is normal for this stage in pregnancy?

Thanks for all your answers in advance.

Hi.

Im 38 weeks plus1 day pregnant. When i woke up this morning i had a watery bloody stain on my pad, i noticed this when i went the loo. Since going the loo i have had a very heavy feeling down below, also a sting/burning sensation and have lost more watery blood upon wiping every time i go the loo. I have bin in hospital over the weekend with contractions and was only 2 cm and was sent home again. I ended up in hospital 3 times with over the weekend and each time the pains getting stronger, they have now settled slightly but i am still getting like a period type pain. Has anyone else had this? if so what could it be?

Im 28 weeks + 4 days pregnant. I started suffering with back pain yesterday and it wasn't so bad but over the course of today it has got a lot worse and im in agony with it. I was admitted to hospital on wednesday night with bleeding but that stopped and the doc said it was nothing to worry about but they said at the time my cervix was softening and they weren't sure if it was open or closed.

I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar thing and what is the best thing for the pain?

Im 28 weeks pregnant and every time i lie down i get pains in my lower back and down both my legs., It used to just be my right side and back so i would lie on my left but no its what ever position i lie down in i am in pain. I have spoken to my doctor and they just said take paracetamol, but that doesn't help at all. Has anyone else has this?What is the best thing to do to relieve the pain?

Thanks for the answers in advance x

Im 27 weeks pregnant with my second child. Lately i feel very very uncomfortable which i know is normal in pregnancy but what feels strange is the baby feels very very low down and am feeling a lot of pressure in my lower pelvis. i didn't have this in my last pregnancy until i was 37 weeks. is it normal to feel it this early?
