[ - ] I am the nervous poster who is 8weeks preg. I googled possiblities of m/c after seeing heartbeat and was brought to a message board that could cause anyone to go into insanity. It was the saddest and scariest site I have ever seen. Tell me that it is not the norm 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

the chances of mc after you see hb are ver small and get smaller w each passing week. just hang in there and try not to freak yourself out. if obsess about each possible bad outcome you'll go nuts. and believe me, this is just the beginning-- there will always be something to worry about! one good friend told me, wisely, when I had my first, that becoming a mother means you'll never be at peace again! it's so true- but it's worth it. good luck to you.

I'm in the same boat. Saw the heartbeat for the first time this morning! Immediately came home and googled it. I really wish that I hadn't. That being said, it looks like the chances do go down significantly. [ Reply | More

[ - ] My 13 month old is becoming impossible. He's crying all the time, won't sit on the floor and play, just wants to be held. He has moments where he is happy and laughing, so I don't think it's an ear infection, but he does have a big molar coming in. Could this just be teething crankiness or is this his new toddler personality? 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

was he sweet and happy in your eyes because he didn't demand too much of your UB time? By the way, is your baby on the floor right now crying while you hover over the computer? [ Reply | More

np - what is wrong with you? The OP is trying to get used to a new transition with her baby. Some of the stages are difficult to get used to. Nowhere does she suggest that she isn't properly caring for her child. You sound like one unhappy individual. [ Reply | More

I've been a full time mom for 13 months - I breast fed exclusively and wore him in the sling for the first few months. He seemed to want more independence for a while and this is a change. I promise you, I have been a mommy for the past 13 months. But I don't understand why so many women on this board are so snarky. Do you talk to your friends like this in real life? [ Reply | More

op - thank you for the response. I can see that a big molar is coming in on top. It's sad to see him so unhappy but hopefully when the tooth comes through he might settle down a little. [ Reply | More

could be anything. separation anxiety, the tooth. I worry that you call him "impossible" because he just wants to be held. Some kids just have days when they want their mommy to hold them all day. [ Reply | More

Looking back I realize my 16 month old was a night mare due to teething BUT more so because he just couldn't communicate what he wanted. He didn't have the language skills and was very frustrated. I found the ages of 16 months to three years ( terrible twos?) so hard. But don't underestimate the teething. It hurts. Someone pointed oput to me that it's bone ripping through flesh. Yikes. It is also usually the source of a mild grade infection and even diaper rash. Good luck. You'll both get through it and I don't think it reflects his personality at all. [ Reply | More

My hunch is Jodi's Gym b/c I prefer their classes but I really couldn't give a very educated answer. Also, I hesitate to share but the 92nd St Y is having free drop-in classes M/W/F and we are trying Super Soccer Stars out since I like that it is outdoors. [ Reply | More

NP. I think Lady M. is good for the traditional or quirky bride. Some ideas - Jane, the BRGuest Restaurants, do showers. Capsouto Freres is pretty reasonable. It's not edgy, but I like it there and so does the older crowd. I was trying to think of places that aren't over the top expensive that do showers. I am sure there is something cooler downtown or maybe you can pick a Japanese Tea Place for a more urban/trendy tea party. You might be able to rent an art gallery. Not sure about downtown but on the UES they are closed summer Sundays. [ Reply | More

Get a new doctor then see a pulmonalogist and/or asthma specialist. In fact, I'd go to the emergency room right now. You need to get a peak flow reading and find out if you need a nebulizer. the hot weather brings out all sorts of breathing problems [ Reply | More
