How does LSD affect an unborn child?
To paraphrase Dr. Albert Hofmann (the creator of LSD who had studied it for twenty plus years before it's popularity in the sixties.) about this situation:
Lsd can not be proven to cause fetal deformalities. Since millions have taken LSD there should be many reports of problems if problems existed.
AnswerIt should also be recognized that Dr. Albert Hofmann found in early trials of LSD on animals that the drug had some negative effects on the uterus -- mainly that it caused uterine contractions, and presumably, that the fetus experienced some of the same effects of the drug as the mother. For this reason, it is strongy urged that pregnant women do not take LSD. Later, in the sixties and seventies, there were numerous tests done that argued LSD could cause chromosomal damage. However, the results of these tests were less than conclusive due to contested validity.All of that said, the best answer to this question is simple -- ask your doctor. So long as your doctor paid attention in ethics class, you won't be sent to jail (or fined), and you need to see if anything may be done for the child.
I would definitely say they don't go together.
Is a ten year old suppose to be having breasts or growing breasts?
Well the starting age of puberty is between 7-18, and that means you can start to grow boobs at 7, but the average age is between 11-14. So dont worry, every girl eventually grows them, your just getting it over with earlier in life.
Should a 14 year old boy have armpit hair?
Everybody reaches certain stages of puberty at different rates. Don't worry! I didn't have any until I was fifteen, and I turned out just fine.
At what age does a child with Down syndrome learn to talk?
All kids are different i talked at 10months but my son didn't start talking alot until he was almost 2 I think as long as they can do other normal stuff (sitting crawling walking etc.) they are fine some kids just don't talk
What do they do at a 11 year old girls physical?
The doctor will usually ask a lot of questions, usually including things such as if and when you have gotten periods. The doctor might do a pelvic exam, which involves looking into your vagina.
How mahogany can effect pregnancy?
It can't unless you ate it. It is just a wood as any wood it doesn't affect people.
If you refer to mahogany seed that I know some try to use as a abortificiant in the Philippine's, there is no research on it and it's very unsure how it actually works and if it works. So if you want a safe pregnancy there is no reason to eat it and if you look for a safe and sure abortion that is not the way to do it.
Why is the umbilical cord clamped?
The umbilical cord, which connects the placenta to the baby, needs to be cut so that the baby's blood supply can be secured within the baby's body, and the now dead placenta can be disposed of.
Can babies at 6 mth old take antibiotics?
There are times when we have no choice, when the infection would be worse then the cure. When it comes to meds you should always consult your doctor when adding new ones. You must after all have gotten the prescription from a doctor.
Why do little boys get erections?
Because they are insecure about the size of their own penis. A true man will not have to say anything about the size of his penis because he knows it is adequate or not, and there is no need to comment on it! If your "man" comments about his size around others then he is insecure with himself. If he brags about it to you in private, however, then he is trying to hint towards you that he wants to do something.
How do you get an 8-year-old to sleep?
Before going to sleep, the body needs to be relaxed and prepared to fall asleep. A child will fall asleep very easily, but only when tired or "in the mood." After dinner, try spending some time with him/her playing a mellow game, watch some TV (with the sound low), give him a bath, or read him a story. These kinds of things normally work, because the child starts to get sleepy because of the settings around him. Don't put him in an area with too much noise or light. Starting a routine works really good. For example, about a hour before bed time you can read a book or watch a movie then slowly start to get ready for bed. By doing the same routine every night the child get in a habit and they know that it is time for bed.
Make sure you are waking him up around the same time every day. If he gets up at 7 a.m. every morning for school, he shouldn't be waking up at noon on Saturday. Keep his sleeping pattern regular. No caffeine or exercise 3-6 hours before bedtime. If all else fails, you could try some over-the-counter medicines. I would recommend diphenhydramine, which you can find in a grocery store or pharmacy as Benadryl. Take that 45 minutes before you want him asleep. Don't get into a habit of taking that every night though.
Another option is to give the child hot milk before bed time. And the use of soothing smells to relax the child will aslo help. Or spend time with the child by reading quietly. One of my friends take their son out for a night walk, and the child drifts off to sleep easily.
In some stores you can buy pillow mist that work as aromatherapy and the scents will help you fall to sleep. Or you can light some candles with calm scents which help. Or play some calming music on a low volume such as composers like Mozart. Something that is gentle, or you can sing a song to him yourself.

How much should an average 6th grader weigh?
it all depends on your height. I am a 6th grad girl and I'm 5ft 3in, i weigh 109lbs. that is what the Doctor says i should way. it also depends on what sports you do. 1 of my friends does volley ball and is the same height as me an weighs like 120lbs and the doctor said she is the perfect weight. another 1 of my friends that is the same height as me is a competitive dancer and weighs 72lbs. talk 2 your Dr about your weight if you are concerned about it.
it depends on height. i am 6th grade girl. I am 5ft 3in, I weigh 90 pounds. It depends on the girl. You are special the way you are. You are not "supposed' to weigh a certain weight. If you are not average heigt or weight, Be invidual and be different!
How do you potty train a 3 year old girl who has no interest in using the potty?
Well if you want him to pee
Ask him to tell you when he has to pee
When he does, I prefer not to sit him on the potty or have him stool on the toilet, wait till he is tall enough to stand without a stool,
Give him a bucket outside to pee in or pose him to a tree or bush, you should also teach him to pee in the shower and bath, it actually cleans your body and it is sorta fun.
What is the average size of a 3 year old boy?
There is no "normal" height! My son has always been tall and thin, but weighs alot due to muscle mass. He is about 3'6.5 as of this morning...thats 42.5 inches and he turns 3 next month. He weighed in at 43lbs also! As long as your child is gaining weight and height proportionally everything is fine!
How is eating toilet paper harmful?
Well, I'm not too sure why you'd be feeding your baby toilet paper, but no toilet paper can not kill your baby, it may just make it sick. Cellulose or plant fiber is the main ingredient of toilet paper. It cannot be digested by humans but in small quantities should pass with no problems. It is the pulp that is found in fibrous plants. Any vomiting, constipation, abdominal distention, or abdominal pain warrants a trip to the ER. Just want to add that your baby will have at least 3 - 4 years of putting things into their mouths or up their nose! LOL The worst time is teething time and babies love to feel of certain things on their sore gums. Toilet paper (a small bit) should be fine and pass through the digestive system as the above poster stated. Get baby proof bars for the lower cupboard doors where you keep your cleaners and the bathroom is the worst place that you have to keep your baby out of. If you phone your poison control they will give you a pamphlet of what to do if your baby should ingest anything poisonous until the ambulance gets there. Watch your baby out in the backyard during playtime. My girlfriend years ago had her son out in the backyard and he ate half a slug! Because people here in B.C. put slug bait out I was worried this slug could have crawled through some of it so I got her to give her son a little milk (to coat his stomach and contain the contents for a short time) and to put the the other half of the slug in a jar and phoned I phoned the ambulance. Thankfully everything was just fine.
What are four things that you can to everyday to stay healthy?
Teenagers like us can stay healthy by exercising. We can get ourselves engaged in an activity that involves movement. One good example is running or jogging. We can also go out with friends for a friendly match of badminton, or even bowling. Lastly, we have to have a balanced diet everyday for us to stay healthy.
Should you worry about a temperature of 101.3 in 10 month old baby?
Yes. Any abnormal temperature in a baby (even 10 months old) deserves worry. At 101.3 a baby aspirin may take care of it, but you need to watch the child closely. Something is causing that fever and it may or may not subside with an aspirin. If finances are an extreme problem, you could give the child a cool (not cold or ice) bath if the aspirin doesn't work (or in addition to the aspirin) but watch the child closely and you may have to take it to the hosp. or emergency room if it doesn't come down and stay down. You can worry about the money end of it later. Hospitals will take small payments, so long as you keep them coming. Good luck!
What is a healthy weight for a 4 foot 9 inch girl?

What is the best way to get a three year old boy to stop sucking his thumb?
Advice from the parents of the Answers.com Q&A community:
Normal Development and 'Readiness'
He will stop when he is ready. Help him learn to calm down when he is nervous or unhappy and eventually he won't need his thumb. Keep him active and using his hands, you can play baseball, fingerpaint, bake cookies or anything else really fun while sucking your thumb. Turn off the tv and send him outside. If he still sucks his thumb when tired or sleeping that will eventually stop.
Binky's or Pacifiers
Do you give them a binky to suck on instead? That might help.
My sister's children, ages 3.5 and 5, still use their binkys. She has tried to take them away, but the kids just start sucking their thumbs, instead. The pediatrician recommended that she poke pin holes in each binky, so the kids lose suction when they use them. This way, supposedly, they will lose interest in sucking altogether when they are not getting the expected reward/sensation. The idea is that they feel they are still in control, but don't get as much pleasure out of it and will eventually stop.
Using a binky is okay when the child is still young, but be careful if the kids are older because it can cause dental problems. We've taken to encouraging the older young child to use their blankets instead to comfort themselves when tired or upset, since these can be taken away and don't cause dental problems!
Adversive edible liquid or pastes
You can apply some edible liquid that is bitter in taste, to his thumb. You can also use the cruse extract of Aolevera plant.but please see to it that it should be edible material -- do not use anything else.
Rizwan.
If you find something non toxic that tastes bad and let it dry on their fingers, they will keep it out of their mouth. Vinegar is good or a mild pepper sauce or such. They do make a non-toxic substance called "bitter apple" that you can rub onto his thumb while he sleeps. (or to keep your cat from chewing through wires!) Ask around your neighborhood and local stores to see where it is carried.
My 4 year old daughter still sucks her thumb & if I was to put anything on her thumb she'll just wash it off while I'm not looking.
I sucked my thumb until i was 10 and every time my mom put any nasty taste on my thumb i washed it off or sucked it off.
Avoid products with alcohol !
Most mouthwashes contain some alcohol. These should not be used with children.
Ways to stop Thumb Sucking:
Try A Reward System
'Reminder Liquid' Idea
Do Not Try Negative Reinforcement
Weaken the Habit by engaging him in different play activities
What can legal drugs do to a fetus?
YES! Anything you do while your pregnant can potentially harm the developping fetus. When you get drunk or high your baby will have the same effects. It could cause birth defects, brain damage, learning disabilities, all sorts of problems. If you want to see some images of thalidomide victims, researche it on google. Thalidomide was a drug used in the 60's by pregnant women to help them cope with morning sickness. Millions of these women gave birth to mutated babies. These babies had no arms or legs, so basically at their shoulder you would see hands and near their pelvis' you would see feet. Not a pretty sight. The drug was taken of the maket only a year later.
What factors influence growth besides growth hormone?
Other hormones affecting growth include:
- Prolactin: Stimulates IGF-1
- Insulin: Stimulates IGF-1
- Thyroid Hormone
- Glucocorticoids
- Estrogen
- Testosterone
Growth hormone affects prolactin secretion, insulin, thyroid hormone, glucocorticoids, estrogen, and testosterone. None of these hormones act alone. All of these hormones are involved with promoting growth. In addition, release of growth hormone can affect the levels of these other hormones because of feedback mechanisms.
How do you get a 12 year old girl in bed?
Give her what ever she wants and tell her that you have experienced it before.
Suck her neck, her breasts and have sex. You'll even make her love if you suck her vagina. And don't force her to suck your dick, unless she wants to.
Yes living x-rays are a danger to living organisms. x-rays cause ion pairs the damage molecular pairs
What age you start being a big kid?
I would say around 12-13 because then you are a teen!
In my opinion, you stop being a kid when you slowly feel more mature. At around 16, you find that your hobbies are different, you play different sports, and you stopped liking some jokes. Like your a different more mature person who isn't as active and won't fall into trouble as often. I am 13 so I still have a while to go!
