Seeking Advice About Adult Daughter

My adult daughter (30) lives with her boyfriend over 800 miles away. It's not a question of me not accepting her boyfriend because I do. I have visited her a couple of times and we've had good times. However, she communicates very little with me or her dad and even with the rest of the family. She was adopted at 3 mos. but she is our wonderful daughter who grew up in a loving, warm family. I'm wondering if some of her feelings are deep rooted because she feels so detached from all of us. I usually write her once a week or everyother...

Need Headache Relief for Husband

I'm sorry if this gets lengthy. My husband has been suffering from headaches for several years now. We have been to several doctors and no one has been able to help him.

Ultrasounds and Autism or Speech Delay?

Hi Moms, I am pregnant with baby #2 and have high blood pressure. Because of this I've been having a LOT of ultrasounds - so many I can't count anymore. I've been reading a lot about ultrasounds causing brain damage and being a possible cause of increased rates of autism and speech-delayed children. Have any moms out there had a bunch of ultrasounds while pregnant and gone on to have healthy children? Are there moms out there who had no ultrasounds or just 1 -2 who have children with autism or who were speech-delayed? Thanks all.
