Too old for another child?

writerightmom @writerightmom (148) • United States 5 Dec 06

I am a 34-year-old woman, and my husband is 40. We have two sons together, but I would really like to try for a daughter. Are we too old to have another child? I feel like I am. I feel more like 44 than 34 sometimes. My aunt just...

cymbelline I wonder if you'll feel the same way when you are a bit older than 21!

cymbelline Honey, we can't see you, only you know if you're showing or not! Aparently you do show earlier with successive children because you're muscles have slackened a bit. I've only had one and still hadn't told lots of people at 18-19 weeks. 15 weeks sounds fine,...

cymbelline You will be able to tell. When are you due? Kicks, esp late in pregnancy are so obviously caused by the baby moving, and contractions feel like a firm muscle tightening pain. If in doubt, though, call your doctor!

Who here gets their full eight hours sleep each night?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 25 Feb 07

We're supposed to get eight hours sleep every night on average to stay healthy, or so the experts tell us. So who here actually does manage to get their full eight hours sleep every night or most nights? Do you get more, or less?...

cymbelline Not me! I have got a 2 year old, though! I try to make up for it a bit with a nap at the weekend. On a good night I get maybe 6-7 hours.

How do you feel about Soda machines in schools?

ashleypastor @ashleypastor (173) • United States 25 Feb 07

This is my opinion, Whats yours? I feel that schools should not have soda machines because soda is not only unhealthy, but does not produce energy for kids to focus in the classroom. In fact the suger will boost your energy level...

cymbelline Machines selling sugary drinks and snacks should definitely be banned in schools. It's outrageous that companies are allowed to target children & teenagers in schools like that. Here in the uk, I think they have actually been banned, it's in process anyway I...

Stretch Marks

elemental13 @elemental13 (34) • United States 21 Feb 07

What lotions or methods works best for reducing and preventing stretch marks? I'm currently using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula labeled specifically for stretch marks but it doesn't seem to be doing much along the lines of...

cymbelline I found Lush's Therapy massage bar helped a lot! It's a solid cocoa butter bar with lavender and neroil oils. It smells lovely and feel wonderfaul on your skin. I used it all through my pregnancy except for one week when it was so hot I couldn't bear any...

If you got pregnant by a guy and wouldn't take responsibility for it, will you go straight to his parents and tell them that their son got you pregnant?

Lush: Do you stash or do you buy as you need and use fresh?

hezoid @hezoid (2144) 21 Feb 07

I've noticed there are quite a few Lush fans on here, and being a Lush addict myself i thought i'd ask you all whether you tend to stash a hoard of Lush products or if you tend to buy what you need as and when you need it so that...

cymbelline Hi Heziod!! I'm not a stasher, I find part of the thrill of Lush is choosing and buying stuff, so I like to buy little and often. Ballistics and soaps are so much nicer fresh, and I just buy skincare as I need it.

Do you always put your child to bed at the same time?

TheKristoffersens @TheKristoffersens (200) • Denmark 24 Feb 07

I put my son to put almost every evening around 8.00pm. He NEVER sleeps then but plays around and fall to sleep around 9.00pm. It did happen that I put him to bed a bit later, but it only postponed the playing and thus falling to...

cymbelline How old is he? My 2 year old still has a nap around 12.30, we put him to bed at 7.30pm and he never goes to sleep before 8, but plays with his teddies in bed for a while. That's ok though, he does go to sleep happily enough. I wonder if we should drop the...
