Can my breastfed baby be constipated?
My 3 week old has been for the most part breastfed during most of the day unless I feel 'empty' and have my husband give her a bottle or 2 at most. Anyways, she use to go about every feeding but now she goes once or twice every other day. It comes out yellow seeded like breastfed baby poop and not formula poop. If that makes any sense lol. And shows no blood if she was constipated.
Im thinking maybe Im not producing enough milk for her to go often. If that's the case Ill quit breastfeeding but I really don't want too. Can anyone give suggestions or advice?
4 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agoIm 38 weeks. Did my water break?
I was relaxing with my son watching tv when it came time to put him down for nap time. As I was walking with him towards his room I felt my shorts wet. Then as I was getting him tucked I started feeling more wetter and wetter. I felt like I was peeing myself but I didn't have any control of it when I tried to 'stop' it.
So anyways when I put him down I rushed to the bathroom and noticed i was a bit wet but nothing like a big gush. I wasn't feeling contractions either then but I am starting to feel them now (25 mins later) nothing strong though.
I never had my water break naturally so I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions? Am I freaking out for nothing? Thanks :)
Oh BTW if it matters last time I checked I was 3cm dilated
5 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoa lil clarity on pregnancy labor terms pls?
I am pretty confused because I never had this problem with any of my other pregnancies. I am currently 37 weeks and 3 cm dilated and baby is low. They said my cervix is 'very soft' but long and I havent effaced. I usually am always effaced 80 percent at this stage and 1 cm dilated (if i was lucky lol).
So I am just confused what does 'soft' cervix mean if I am not effaced? Will I have to get a c-section if I am not effaced at all? I am schedule for induction in 2 weeks exactly.
Thanks in advance
1 AnswerPregnancy1 decade ago37 weeks and not having 'front' contractions?
I went to my Dr's appt this morning and was told I am at 3 cm. Last week I was at 1cm and baby was low. This is my 3rd baby. I went overdue with all my others and had to get induced.
Anyways, I don't see how I am at 3cm. I have contractions in the back and very very low but they don't hurt me much. I feel them but I don't feel the pain your 'suppose' to feel when you are having real contractions.
I sure as heck felt the ones from my previous pregnancies so I am just confused. Do you have to have the whole tummy contraction to go into full term labor or could I just feel the back contractions? I am asking because I don't think I will know when I actually do go into labor! LOL This pregnancy has been like any other I have had before.
Thank you all for your thoughts and stories in advance
4 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoShould I trade my car in that I still owe on?
I am pregnant with my 3rd child. I swear I didn't plan on children my whole life for awhile and was on 3 different birth control when I got pregnant all 3 times!!!! haha But I love my babies none the less. Anyways I have a 06 PT Cruiser and well It is not going to fit my 3 children, nor their booster, car seats.
Well still owe about 9.5k on it and I think if I did trade it in I would prob just get 3-4k. Im thinking worse case scenerio. We need like an older Explorer or something to that extent. Has anyone done anything like this where they were in an 'upside down' loan? Do I still have to put money down too? Im not due til around Christmas time. Any advice will be great as I am not very familiar with the car dealership thing.
2 AnswersBuying & Selling1 decade agoBlood in stool for my 3 month old. Whats wrong?
My son is 3 mo old. He is healthy and everything. I just switched formula on him 2 days ago, and his first poop from it was a hard stool with blood in it. Does this its just from the change of formula or could it be more? I changed his formula gradually from mixing the old with the new to try to avoid the constipation. Now he is completely on the new stuff, and his first stool from the formula resulted in a bit of blood in the hard pellet like poop. Any advice?
7 AnswersNewborn & Baby1 decade agoHow old do children have to be to choose who to live with in divorce cases?
My husband wants to hire an attorney to gain custody of his 6 year old daughter. She is miserable with her mother. My husbad and I had 2 children since we've been married and hsi ex tells their daughter she doesn't have any brothers and to shut up when she mentions wanting to see them.
Everytime my husband goes to visit her when he can (he is military) she doesn't allow him to. He cant call to speak to his daughter because his ex said he doesnt need to and to just pay child support. When he does get to speak to his daughter she cries saying she wants to live with us and her brothers.
He is current on his child support and we want to know is there a certain age children in the state of TEXAS have to been to have their voice heard. We feel so bad for her and we know that his ex just sees their daughter as a paycheck.
5 AnswersMarriage & Divorce1 decade agoGetting my toddler adjusted to naps with a newborn?
I recently gave birth to my second son a week ago. Since I have been home my husband and I have kept my older son's nap schedule the same (hes 16months) and hes pretty good about following his routine with no problem. However, if I am resting in the same room I have to take the baby and sit outside in another room so my oldest can sleep. Its getting so hard to keep baby quiet when my oldest sleeps, especially at night. I know he has to get use to the baby eventually but I have no idea how to start this process! Can any expert mommies and daddies tell me what they did to get their older children adjusted?

5 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoDo I need a waiver to go back in?
I am 35 weeks pregnant and after I deliver I want to go back into the service. I am prior service Army and my husband is currently in the military as well. We have another child, and Ive tried every other way to get a job but the job market is horrible, even with a college degree!
Anyways, I would like to go back in after my son is about 2 months. Do I have to wait a certain time to go back in after having a baby? We already have a family care plan set. Thanks.
5 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoCould it be my "Water" can never break on its own?
Ive had 2 children and my water has never broken. I have always had it broke by the doctors while I was in labor.

2 AnswersOther - Skin & Body1 decade agoStress put me into early labor at 31 weeks?
I found out my lovely jackhole of a husband is cheating on me a few days ago and I am 31 weeks. Ive been having horrible contractions and these things are the real deal because I feel them every! My back, lower, side and it hurts. I also lost my mucos plug. Ive been stressed out, I dont know if it raises blood pressure and I am just worried it will send me into labor. Ive been having more contractions and dizzy spells today and I feel the baby really low as if he is already head down. Should I go in to get checked or just wait and see if contractions come back? I also feel pain down there, but I dont know if it is because the baby is so low and putting pressure. Thank you.

17 AnswersToddler & Preschooler1 decade agoSharp pains at 29 weeks?
I started having HORRIBLE pains 2 nights ago that actually woke me up. But they werent contractions, it was like my stomach was tight and cramped. I couldnt even move my tummy was so rock solid.
Now I am starting to feel sharp pains from my upper back and now on my stomach. Again it doesnt feel like contractions because I would feel my muscles tighten and relax but these feelings are sharp stabbing pains. I have been drinking plenty of water so I know it's not because Im dehydrated.
Ive had a baby before who was overdue so now my mind is playing tricks n me that I might go into labor early! Im just really scared. I dont want to go into the E.R. unless I really have to bc the wait is horrible. Has anyone felt this before and is it something to worry about at 29 weeks?
2 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoTricare health insurance and base doctors?
I am 28 weeks, 29 tomorrow and I effin hate Ft Bragg. Since I found out I was pregnant it has taken them til I was 12 weeks to be seen for my 1st apt. Then I was told when I had my ultrasound that if anything appeared wrong I would be contacted immediately by the doctors or just told everything was fine the next time I was seen. So 5 weeks later a doctor calls me to tell me my baby has a hole in his heart!!
I complained about this and they told I would be contacted by a patient rep concerning my problems. well when they called me the next day they told me "well I am not calling you a liar, but I doubt Dr. BLAH BLAH told you that. Doesn't sound like her." So I said OK LADY SO I MADE THIS UP ALL BY MYSELF?!?!?!
Anyways long story short I tried to get a second opinion off base and they wont help me. i talked to the Tricare office on base and they were no help. Does anyone know what else I can do to be seen off base? I delivered my son about 2 years ago here and the doctor that delivered my son didn't know a damn thing. seriously, my son was the first baby he had ever delivered. This place is insane. Any army wives, can you please tell me what I can do if anything??

4 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoA BIG DOG, A BIG ANXIETY PROBLEM?
We just adopted a beautiful white male boxer. He is about a year an a half and he isn't fixed. The reason the owners gave him up was because he was a lot to handle and had a lot of energy. Also they said he hates being left alone. We figured having him fixed will settle him down a lot. As far as the anxiety problem I dont know where to start. If we go into a room where he cant see us he cries or barks. I try consoling him and keep him in a kennel where he can see us in the day time, when my husband isnt home because we havent trained him to stop jumping yet and Im 8 months pregnant.
But even when he sees us or hears us when I walk out the room for a sec he cries. It is driving me insane!!! Any helpful tips?
