Please Help! I put my son in the baby bjorn (facing out) a few days ago, and he seemed to not like it very much. I tried putting him in it again yesterday, and he screamed. When I looked at his legs there were two large bruses on them right where they rest in the baby bjorn. I feel so bad for him. Any suggestions on how I should handle this? I`m just shocked. I followed the damned directions and he`s in perfect health, so why did this happen?

Everyone keeps bothering us to have our son baptized. While I have a deep respect for my family`s religion, my husband and I are not in to organized religion. How do I tell my ENTIRE family in a sensetive way that I don`t want him baptized? I wrote more in the comments.

I`m 40 weeks and 1 day. This morning a really liquidy mucus slid down my legs (I don`t mean to be gross) and has been squirting out of me by about a teaspoon at a time all day. Like I said, it`s very watery and there is the odd tiny streak of blood in it. I`ve been having very minor cramps along with it. i went to L and D and they said it wasn`t amniotic fluid, but it`s also not urine which is what they thought at first. What is this stuff?

Hi, I`m dissabled and my only income is SSD, and my insurance is medicare with medicade as my supplimentary insurance. I think the baby will have medicade, but when will his insurance begin, and how do I find a pediatrician in the mean time. The social worker basically told me to bring the baby in when he`s born to get him set up with insurance, but isn`t that a little late, especially since it takes FOREVER to find a doctor on that stupid insurance. Please comment.

I`m 36 weeks. When lying on my right side, I`m fine for 5 minuets, then there is a buzzing sensation over my bottom right rib. The buzzing soon turns to a burning pain and the skin there becomes very sore to the touch. What is this?

Has anyone done co-sleeping and if so did you use an in-the-bed sleeper (snuggle nest)? Why did you choose to do it, and was it worth it? Please leave lots of comments.

In Cozymom`s poll she asked if some of us are `leaning toward` c-section as a birthing option. Have any of your doctors sugested that this is not just a last resort, but an actual CHOICE that you can make?
