Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 August 2006

The first day of my last period was July 26, 2006. I am on the pill, but missed a few. I was supposed to start my period again on August 23 or 24 and begin my new pack of pills on the 27th. I took two home pregnancy tests and both came out negative. It is now the 29th of August and I still haven't started. Is it too early to tell? According to the online calculators, I would be about 4 weeks and 5 days. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

my period is late, and my breast are gettin bigger and very tender. i am very emotional and extremely grumpy and have a loss of appetite. i just got married two months ago so we werent wanting kids for at least a year or two, so i figured before i go buy a test i would see what you all think? i am not yet on the pill cause i have to wait to get on his insurance next week and so for now we just use condom s and once in a while i use the contraceptive foam. so am i just freakin out or am i probably pregnant?

Ok, I have a 2 year old son and an 8 mo. old girl. When my son throws a fit at home I can't help but get very uptight and frustrated with him. But, today when we were at the dr's for his 2 yr. checkup, I couldn't help but laugh at him when he was throwing a fit and laying on the floor. A month ago, we went to an amusement park and I put him on a kiddie ride. He sat there and cried the whole time, and I was standing there laughing at him. Not like a hystarical laugh, but I was definately chuckeling. People must think I'm a horrible parent! Does anyone else have experience with this? Am I just venting or something by laughing?, is it good that I laugh at him when he gets angry sometimes? When I'm referring to him being angry, it's because he did not want to be at the dr's office... NOT because he didn't get his way with something. (other then wanting to leave)

My five year old still pees in his pants. He says it was a accident. The last two years he has attended headstart and ever peed his pants while there. But when he got home he would. This year he is entering Kindergarten and I know he won't pee at school, but how do I stop him from "letting er rip" at home?

I just want to get different peoples feelings on my situation...I am 22 years old and have a one year old daughter. I got pregnant when I was 20 and had my daughter when I was 21! The people around me thought that 20/21 was too young to be pregnant and NOT married. I did manage to get a job around my 5 month of my pregnancy. Which wasn’t easy, I had to hide my pregnancy because I knew that no one was going to hire me being pregnant but luckily I got into a really nice/understanding company that worked with me. At the same time my daughter’s father lost his job and has not worked since! So I am supporting my daughter 100% (NEVER Been on PA). I managed to get myself together and GROW up, my daughters father still hasn’t! (He is 21) I understand NOW that I should have been married & had my own stuff already so that it wouldn’t be so hard for me to get it while I was pregnant but I did! Why was it that they didn’t have enough confidence in me (the child they raised)?

My 21 month likes to have a sippy cup with her at all times. Do you think this is ok that I let her have it all the time. Or should I only give it to her when we eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and at snack times. (snack time about 2 times a day) Is it harmful to her in away that she has one with her all the time. When my mom was here to visit over the weekend she made that comment that it is not good that she was a sippy cup all the time. Why it that? This is a serious question. Please serious answers only!

I am a single mom to a two y.o. This was an unplanned pregnancy and the father is not involved at all. My dilemna is that I need a break and I have no one to help me. My parents live out of state and I don't have girlfriends that I can ask to watch the baby. I really can't afford a babysitter either and then I have a roommate so a babysitter might feel awkward in that situation anyway. My child is a typical 2 y.o. (I think) and can really wear me down with all the crying and screaming and whining. Any clue as to what I can or should do to relieve stress?

The condom was never entirely in me, it was hanging out. I would not be worried except he spilled it a little when he took it out. I am just worried about pregnancy we have been married for less than 1 year and are in graduate school and neither of us are ready for this. We are usually really responsible but for some reason not so much this time. Help!

When I talk to other moms they say they limit they're children TV watching to only 1 hour a day. Now I live in area where it rains half of the year or is cold or too hot. There are maybe all together 3-4 months you can actually go out and play. Sometimes I wonder if these mothers are being actually honest or maybe lose track of time. I mean I interact with my child quite a bit through out the day and he even plays outside for a few hours but I can never get him to watch less than 2 hours (sometimes up to 4-5 hours). He has the TV on a lot but he doesn't actually sit right in front of it staring at it he plays with his toys and every few minutes looks up to see what's going on. He's 2 1/2.

I babysit my 2 1/2 year old grandson. He started out telling us when he had to go potty. That was when we started. But now all the sudden it is a battle. He has reverted back to wanting a diaper. This morning it was a 15 minute cry-fest that almost put me into tears as well. I feel like I am pushing too hard. Any ideas?

I live near cleveland I'm think about donating my eggs. Does anyone know where I can go to donate my eggs for money? My husband and I are in a tough spot finacially and I was trying to think of ways to make money. I don't want to be a surrogate as I think I would have a hard time giving the baby up once I gave birth but I would be into giving my eggs to someone who needs them.
