I'm returning to work tonight and im a bit worried about how my kids are going to handle it, I had to quit my last job because they were 12 hour shifts and I never got to see them not to mention my partner was on night shift he recently got retrenched, they went really funny towards me and it did upset me at the time i'm now really worried that they're going to do it again i only have 2 shifts and there night ones but how should i explain this to them escepicially my son he's a real mumma's boy, my daughter should be fine we've been role playing going to work with her but this isnt working for him any other good tips i could try for a 2 year old????
Last night I experienced sudden blood loss. I did have some light bleeding that started early yesterday (i have erratic bleeding anyway but usually light) but then I woke up about 3 in the morning and had bled heavily with a lot of clots which continued for a few more hours. It's slowed down now but still heavy and I have felt really tired but a bit better now.
Does anyone know what causes this and should I see a doctor? I did have an emotional distress late the previous evening. Is stress enough to cause this?

I have a little girl who has just come into my care- im a family day carer.
She is Gluten Intolerant, and mum and dad have recently pulled her out of a child care centre due to the centre not fully being supportive and understanding their daughters care..
How can i ensure that this little girl doesnt feel left out when we do cooking as that is one of many activities i do with the littles..
Ashton 3 months old has been on formula since day 1. First he was on heinz nurture gold, he had alot of winde problems so i was advised by the health nurse to change formulas. We then went onto Nan gold, that was going good but he kept getting constipated, i kept him on it for a couple of weeks but the wind problems came back. I was then advised again to change. This time we changed to karicare gold +, he has been on this for 1 month and has ever since had diarrhea, its just one watery poo a day. (have been to the doctors they arent worried) He also has really smelly farts,and alot of them
SO is it bad to change again?? I odnt want to keep changing cos i know its not good too but neither do i think its good to keep him on this one if its causing diarrhea??
Anyone else had problems with karicare formula?? I know all babies are different but what formula what for you without causing any upset tummies or the runs??
Ive had really bad pain in my left side rihgt in near my pubic bone, to the point that it hurts to walk down stairs and the only way in and out of my work is 20+stairs.

My 3.5yr is constipated and I've tried all the natural ways to get things moving again, but just wondering if anyone knows anything that you can get from the chemist (over the counter) that is uitable for littlies????
Ashton (3months old) is still doing 1 watery poo a day, its been going on ever since his 2month vaccinations, i also changed his formula to Karicare gold around that time due to wind preoblems and constipation. I have seen doctors and paeds but they arent concerned about it as its just once a day, and no vomitting or temperarures. Do you think it could be the formula?? He also had a rash come up 2weeks ago which we went to the hospital about, bloods came back clear and they put it down to a virus, he also had diarrhea at that time and they werent concerned about it at the hospital.

hi i had a c section with my first child and am now having my third, i find it quite uncomfortable and sometimes painful when the baby kicks along my scar line im only 21.5 weeks so im just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it got any worse as the pregnancy progressed.
my son has recently started trowing tantrums it started off as biting and hitting me but id sit they're and pretend to cry and made him feel bad about doing it that way, although he still bites and pinches and hits his sister, then she returns the favour, im not sure about what to do there at times they can be very nasty to each other i always make sure they apologise and cuddle but 5 minites later theyre doin it again lol.
but he has now began throwing himself on to the floor and banging his head on the ground i walk away and ignore him but then he comes up and bites me, the other day when it was time to come in side i had to pick him up and carry him, meanwhile hes biting and pinching me then i lay him on the floor so he cant just fall over i make sure theres nothing he can hurt himself with but im fed up with it .
He shouldn't be biting, my daughter did start it but i pretended to cry with her one day she started crying and never bit me again, now she'll sit they're and cry and get really cranky, we get the daggers lol!
any ideas how to handle the tantrums and biting apart from ignoring them because he only follow me around till i end up growling or dad gets cranky and growls help!
Ok usually when I am feeling well I do the dishes and my partner does the cooking, but since I have been sick I do not have much energy and get upset when my partner expects me to do the dishes on top of looking after our son, and being pregnant. Is it just me or should I tell him I want him to do the dishes while I am sick?? The illness I have is bronchitis, and the doctor has told me I need to rest more, but with a toddler and trying to keep the rest of the house clean I do not have time to rest.
The reason I am asking this is he thinks because I am sick is not a reason that I shouldn't do the dishes as well as everything else. Don't get me wrong I can understand him being upset when I do not do the dishes when I am feeling well.
He also works full-time while I am a full-time mum, I am just worried about Taylor (our undorn son).
Is it unreasonable for me to get him to do the dishes while I am sick??
I'm nearly 35 weeks pregnant and still smoking. I quit smoking at 7 months with my first but stupidly started again when he was 5 weeks old. I have had several pathetic attempts to quit with this pregnancy and can't seem to do it. Does anyone have any hints or tips on this? I think my main prob is that I don't really want to quit but i need to for the health of my unborn and my son. Anybody got any tricks up their sleeve? this time it needs to be for good.
Just wanted peoples opinions, since we're talking about fruit. My lil one LOVES eating fruit, whole banana's, apples, peache slices (from jars). So my question is can they have to much fruit In a dau, or is it ok for him to eat as much as he likes?
