I have heard that the first couple months is the most critical for your baby. that being said I am a bit worried about what I have been exposed to. I am 10 weeks pregnant. I smoke cigarettes, (i know, i know, i have cut down and plan to fully quit within a couple weeks). What I am mostly worried about is my job. I am a night janitor. I work anywhere from 7 to 11 hours a night and get from 3-6 hours of sleep as I have to be up with my other child in the morning. I lift heavy items all night, and I have heard furniture polish is really bad for the fetus, and I have used a TON of it in the last couple weeks. Not to mention all other cleaning supplies I use. the most of my worries though, is that I clean a large automotive garage which includes sweeping dirt and debris, including brake dust, and cleaning up oil spills, then moppping the cement with a heavy duty cleaner. there are signs posted everywhere in this auto dealership especially in the garage that say "birth defects and reproductive harm" my supervisor and even the nurse i spoke to did not seem too concerned, but why would they have all those signs then?
sorry this is getting long, but, also as I have a vaccuum strapped to my back most the night and haul A LOT of garbage during the night, and am on my feet for hours straight (my co-workers and I do not take breaks to make more money) how long do you think I will have to work before going on leave? thanks so much for your help (link)

I just wanted to let you know that I too am a smoker and I too smoked through BOTH my pregnancies and my children are fine. SHAME ON ME, I KNOW. However, I work at a convenience store and can kinda relate to the lifting of heavy stuff, chemicals, and all that.
When I was preg. with the last one, I talked to my doctor about lifting and being on my feet all day and cleaning chemicals, and filling propane tanks.
I've been at my current job for 9 yrs at that time I was there for 5. She told me that since my body was used to doing this stuff I was going to be fine. I was working until the day BEFORE my last one was born. Every woman's body and woman are different.
Sorry if this is long, the point is, talk to your dr about it. They will be able to help you out more than we can on here.

Hi everyone,
Some background:
-18 years old
-2 sexual partners
-4 intercourse encounters
-2 of those with a latex condom
-tested for gonhorrea and chlamydia>negative
Now that that's outta the way...
I just want to know why after I have sex I no longer smell like ME down there days after the fact, even while using a pH balanced feminine wash. I smell like my partner's semen! Is that normal? Is there a way to make it stop? I personally liked my OWN smell, thanks.
I've heard about repHresh and that the odor that doesn't smell like you is caused by an interrupted pH balance. I totally believe that's what it is because my vagina secretions are less acidic smelling (if you understand that), more basic, like a guy's sperm (plus I do identify the smell as the person I had intercourse with).
When my scent changed after be de-virginized, I douched, and it went back to normal, but I don't want to have to douche again because I hear not so good things about continued use.
Has any one tried repHresh or can intelligently tell me if it seems right for me to use? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my natural scent back?
Thank you in advance :)

I haven't used repHresh, but I use baby soap, so I can't help you with that one.
If you're really concerned about it you could always talk to a gyno. It could be possible that you have a yeast infection...there's a number of things it could be, not necessarily bad either.
Hope I helped.

I have A Toshiba Laptop with windows in it. I was installing stuff (music and other programs - i just restored it and was putting everything back in) but the way the computer is when you put a disc in a window pops up for what you want to with the cd and if you go under my computer there is usually two files C drive and one for the cd/dvd drive. I uninstalled the free trial of microsoft office 2007 and i restarted the computer to install the full version and i went to install it and the window didnt pop up and the cd would not load so i went into my computer and the cd/dvd drive isnt listed there and i put a music cd in and nothing happened either and i went into wmp to see if the cd would play and i went to now playing and it wouldnt so its like the drive got deleted or something? this never happened to be before. how can i get this back to working? (link)

The BIOS for the drive could be trashed. If you know how you could always go in and make sure that the option to boot from the drive is working.

I have figured out that if I eat aproximately 2400 calories a day I will reach my target weight of 120lbs. I am 20/f and I was wondering if anyone knows how I can figure out planned meals so I do consume 2400 calories a day. I want like a program or something that tells me what I should eat so I don't have to spend so much time counting calories! (link)
|
Have you considered Weight Watchers or another program like that? I've heard from several people that it works, so it couldn't hurt to try it.
Hope this helped

I got my glasses (first time) last 2 weeks and since then I feel like they need tightening every day. they keep falling off...or at least i think they do. I've been to the place i bought them (the eye care/glasses selling place) to get them tightened about 4 times in 2 weeks and they still don't feel like a perfect fit.
Is this how glasses are supposed to be or am i just getting accustomed? How many times do you carry your glasses to get tightened? (link)
|
Did they do a fitting on you when you got them? Before and after? If they didn't then that could be why they don't feel like they're fitting correctly.
If all else fails go to a different eye place to have them look at them, it certainly couldn't hurt any.
I've worn glasses for YEARS and I completely understand how you feel. Hope this helped.

okay. i have been going out with my boyfriend for almost 1/2 a year now (on the 24th itll be a half a year). my boyfriend loves to sleep, hes always tired. whenever i hang out with him, no matter where it is. hell fall asleep. i dont know how to take that, as an insult? maybe he has lymes? i dont know. even at my friends houses.. he falls asleep, he like passes out on their bed. and at my house. if were just hanging out. he passes out.
i have talked to him about it many times, i told him it bothers me. i was sick for almost a month, and he yelled at me for falling asleep almot every time we hung out. but it was the medicine that made me fall asleep. so he yelled at me, ever since i havent fallen asleep. but, him being a hypocrit has fallen asleep so i give him the cold shoulder every time he does fall asleep.
..what should i do? i really need help.
can i have some tips not to have him fall asleep?

He could be narcoleptic or have sleep apnea. If that's the case, he needs to get checked out by a doctor.

I heard that you can't drive out of state with a provisional license from new jersey. Is this true? Please only answer if you know, don't send me a google search or answer just if you think you know. Thanks. (link)

You honestly need to check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for this answer. Since every state is different that is the only TRUE way to find out for sure.

my ex and i were dating for four months and he hinted at wanting to break up so i did it for him then a month went by and he had hooked up with another person and i started dating a new guy.. but the called me and we talked and he told me that he loved me.. which on his part is HUGE.
so we waited awhile and i broke up with the guy i had been dating.
when my ex and i started dating he told me how much he loved me and never wanted to loose me and that i made him so happy.
blah blah blah.
so then he starts acting weird and i know him well enough to know when he's going to break up with me so we talked and he texted me telling me how much he loved me and that he wasnt ready for a relationship... we dated for two weeks..
its been a month almost and nothing is getting easier.
we go to the same school so i see him every single day. and my friends and family told me to act like i didnt know him to make it easier.. while he is telling me to talk to him and he doesnt exactly understand why i dont talk to him..
i cant decide what to do..
anything would help
please and thank you. (link)

Short sweet and to the point.
FORGET HIM. He's gonna keep pulling the same b.s. he is now......be done with him and move on to bigger and better things.

I went to the Dr. recently and she told me I am 1.5 cm dilated and that she was able to feel the baby's head. I read online about losing the mucous plug, and some sites say that you can be dilated and still have not lost your mucous plug.
So I'm just curious as to how I would know if I have already lost it or if its possible that I haven't lost it yet.
I was kind of thinking that if she was able to feel the baby's head then i probably lost it. but what do I know..this is my first child so bear with the stupid questions.. hehe.
Thanks in advance! (link)

Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth. Labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens over time.
All I can say is there's no stupid question when it comes to childbirth. Children should really come with a handbook. Good luck and enjoy the new little one.
