A few questions..

[baby796607]

Hey ladies, I have a few questions.. the first is about teething.. what is the age range for a baby to start teething... Lucas is almost 4 months old and he is generally a very very good baby.. he usually only cries when he's hungry, diaper change, etc.  For the past couple of days he has been rather cranky.. I've checked him temp just to make sure he wasn't coming down with anything.. thats normal, would check his diaper, he wasn't hungry.. he just wanted to cry and fuss.. I've noticed for a little while he's been drooling a lot which i know can be a sign of teething.. what do you think and what are your suggestions???

I am so frustrated with my birth control pills, I dont' know if they're making me sick or what.. I  wish my body would adjust to them.. the first month I took them i had the breakthrough bleeding during the active pills and nothing during my inactive pills.. and its the same this month.. i've been feeling really bad.. very tired.. nauseated.. headaches, not sure why by my stomach is so sore..  i've been having really strange twinges in my lower abdomen last month i tested jsut to make sure.. it was negative.. i just dont feel well at all.. my called my dr's office and she didn't really have any reason that i would have the breakthrough bleeding during the active pills and nothing during the inactive pills... she said sometimes it just takes time to adjust but that it should not cause me to be nauseated like it does and all the rest.. so idk what do you guys think..

Feel his gums. They may feel swollen or appear reddish. That means he is teething. It can take months for the first teeth to pop through, though. The teething can go off and on for some time (at least that was the case with both of my girls and a few other children I know). Other babies' teeth just pop right through pretty quickly.

louieforlaughs has a great suggestion for taking pills before bed to reduce nausea. If you're still nauseated from them for a month or two more, ask to switch!

hey,
are you taking your birth control pill at night? i always took mine before bed because some people complained that it hurt their stomachs. so my doctor suggested taking it at night and you sleep through it if it does bother your tummy. as for the bleeding i would say if its still a little wonky or off in a few months and you're still getting stomach pains to switch brands of birth control. a friend of mine had to try three different namebrands before hitting the one that worked for her.
as for the teething i would say that sounds like teething. glad to hear today is better though. : )
good luck and i hope all your hormones settle down soon for you. not fun being sick with a new bundle of joy in the house. : )

Teething sounds about right.  my son is also 4 months and has been doing the same, including sticking everythign he can get into his mouth and chewing on it.  My daughter was much easier when she was teething, she had no symptoms and I didn't know she got a tooth until i saw it in her mouth LOL.
