Where can I find answers regarding dogs affecting human health? Do I have to keep it completly away from baby? We are expecting a baby and also have a new puppy. We're concerned about what precautions need to be taken if any regarding the babies health. If the dog sleeps in our bed is it ever safe to put the baby on the bed? Are there risks if the dog happens to lick the babies face? Can the baby become sick from contact with the dog? Can the baby crawl on the floor where the dog also walks? We keep the dog clean and bathe her every 10-15 days. But, they are dogs.... are they cleaner than the common stereotype? Hopefully someone can put us in the right direction to answers. Thank you so much for any and all help in advance ! Best regards, Tim Smith

Should I switch myself and the baby to his health insurance? I am three months pregnant and getting married in May. The baby is due at the end of October. I currently work full time and have my own health insurance, and have registered my upcoming birth with my health insurance as well. If I get married in May, and do not enroll in my husband's health insurance within 30 days, will I still be able to enroll myself and the baby once my maternity leave is over if I don't return to work? Is it better to just enroll myself and the baby right after I get married, instead of waiting until after the birth? Will I be able to enroll even though I was pregnant before I was married? If I do enroll in his insurance, I will be enrolled in a health insurance plan through my company, and through his. Can that be done? It seems like a waste of money.

Baby Movement and the health of my baby? Hi moms! I am 31 weeks pregnant, and my baby is moving well, I believe.

He never seems to be hyper active I know he is moving and all right - so this may be a stupid question, but is my baby's chilled out, occasional kicking style a sign of bad health? Is he not active enough in there? Thanks!

What would you do if it came to your future baby's health? You or your wife (if you're a guy) were expecting a child and found out that the baby you were going to have was going to be born with complications such as severe autism, down syndrome, or some other debilitating disease that would require your 110% dedication and care since the child wouldn't grow up able to take care of itself. Your financial situation is barely able to afford your little apartment and a "normal" baby and you options are... --grin a bear it, rely on foodstamps and making hubby work super long shifts to be able to afford treatments and taking care of your child well into your senior years, giving custody up once you get too old... --hope someone is willing to adopt your special child and put faith in the adoption system in finding a suitable family... --abort and simply keep the child from living a life of suffering and doubt while knowing God can do better than you... --or...? How would you handle a situation like that? Sensitive, but its something to consider. I'm all for taking care of disabled children (going into pediatric nursing hoping to do so)... However if you're financial situation doesn't really allow the medical bills and one breadwinner? Life has many "IF"s in it. I'd just like to know peoples opinions on things like this. Something the government should pay attention to and lend a couple of their billions to helping out with huh?

How do I approach my friend regarding her baby's health? Yesterday, a friend brought her baby to my house. I noticed right away that her baby, who is one month old, looked a little yellow (her skin and the whites of her eyes) which to me suggests jaundice. Then, I changed her diaper and she had a green, thick, slimy discharge coming from her vagina. This friend is one of those people who thinks she knows everything there is to know as a first time mother, as does her husband. Besides that, she thinks her baby is perfect in every way. I have a feeling that by telling her, she will somehow feel like I am being mean to her and stop talking to me. Then even after that, she still probably won't take the baby to get it checked out! Any suggestions? I have the baby's best interest at hand, so I am tempted to just tell her and take the risk of her not speaking. But more than anything I feel like I will just be wasting my breath because like I said, I can tell her and she still won't take her in! HELP!!!
