Pregnant that is?
The first day of my period would have been on the 7th. I took a pregnancy test on the 8th. It was negative. It is supposed to be 99% accurate...but I still have not gotten my period and it's now the 12th. I am going to see the doctor for a blood test this afternoon but I just wanted to know if any of you ladies had taken a test AFTER your period was supposed to start that was negative and found out you were actually pregnant at that time....
thank you!

I have a one year old and thinking of having a second baby. The first time, I went into labor and was fully dilated but we had to go for a c-section because his head was too big and wouldn't fit through. My baby was 8.1 lbs. and very healthy. I would like to try for a VBAC this time but with an epidural. Is it possible? I had an epidural the first time and it gave me a lot of control over pushing.
I also read a study that prenatal vitamins cause babies to be bigger and increases the rate of a c-section. Will it help if I don't take the prenatal vitamins this time?

Okay, I need an educated answer here............This is my story. I'm 26 years old. I have a 2 year old and a 5 year old. I am 35 weeks pregant. I'm a busy mom. I take my oldest to school, my youngest to daycare, then I am off to school myself. I get plenty of sleep, but I am just so tired during the day I can barely stand it. I have asked my doctor what is going on and she says it's just my body's way of telling me to slow down. BUT........I CRAVE, NEED, and I HAVE to have caffine. Anything from starbucks or a big sweetened tea does the trick. ANYTHING will do if it keeps me awake, and energized. I know too much caffine is not good for your unborn baby, but does any one know exactly how much IS too much?? Thanks!

Here is a person, a mother, obviously having a genuine hard time with her baby. Instead of advice and sympathy, most people from the Y!A henhouse gathered into the yard to peck her to pieces and tell her what an atrocious mother she is. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApfiV2MWNZ2rjkQJMaomKAbzy6IX?qid=20060912094658AAdHBQd

This is crazy. Like none of you have never had a bad time with your precious darlings. I'm sure she loves her child very much, it just sounds like she is incredibly stressed. Hows about being a kind human being from time to time and give a kind word? Or is this catfight and best mommy contest central? Does her honesty make you jealous or something? I know I am a smartass from time to time up here, but I do have a heart, and I can tell when someone is really needing a few kind words. I agree the asker should seek some releif in real life, but it would not hurt anyone to give her some good, friendly advice either.

My husband and I started trying to concive last month and now my period is late and I have taken PG tests but the positive line is faint. I just wanted to know how many of you if any this has happened to. I dont know if I am imagining things because I want this so bad or what. Thanks for your answers.

I am a first year graduate student that has tons of work to do most of the time and a roommate finishing her 5th year of undergrad and she is not always considerate, my fiance is finishing his undergrad hours away and I can't be under him like I wanted my first pregnancy to be, so it is impossible for me to avoid stress. how will this stress affect my baby?

what exactly do they do when the doctor tells you that they need to do a vaginal and rectum check up to see if you have any bacteria before your babys born? has anyone had this done to them?

Im eight weeks pregnant and for the last week have had extremly bad toothache. Ive got an appointment with the dentist but thats 4 weeks away and i cant be seen any earlier, and im in terrible pain. Doctor has told me i can only tale Paracetamol for the pain. do you think its ok to take Paracetamol for this amount of time while pregnant? I dont want to harm my unborn child but the pain is too much to bear without pain relief. I cant afford to go private. What do you think i should do?

I'm 16 years old. And I still love to sit with my father and have him hold me when we was tv. And before you say anything IT"S NOTHING DO TO WITH SEX FEELING. My father is a pastor. My firends tell me I'm sick. I just love my father so much. My question is are there any other girls that do this with there fathers?

I'm looking for your thoughts on Baby sleepbags / growbags. Would you recommend them. Do they help keep baby at a better temperature. Are you for or against them. And, finally, do you still need to use feet to foot sleeping position? I'm assuming not.

Thoughs and opinions please.

Ok...Moms or Dads....your only child spends every other weekend getting spoiled, having no rules or bedtimes and then comes home and acts like a spoiled brat from having no rules...but he's also sad because he misses his Dad. He's four and I don't think he sees his Dad enough...you know, four days per month...except July.

I KNOW that he doesn't have bedtimes or healthy diets or God Forbid, have to pick up toys at his Dad's house.

How do I help my son cope with not seeing his Dad enough..and to help my son understand why mommy makes him pick up toys, but Dad doesn't? I don't want to sling mud at my ex, and I don't think he does to me either...but, when he only sees him 4 days a month...wouldn't you spoil him too?

How would you handle this?

and , no matter what , everytime i ask my daughter to do something she just ignores me. if i tell her not to do something , she makes it her goal to do exactly what i have asked her not to do. please tell me if all 3 year olds are like this. it won't be until next summer till she turns 4 and my gray hair is doubling by the day. this behavior of crying and screaming when she doesnt get her way hsa been going on for a couple of months and i am really worn out. i spend so much time trying to figure out how to handle these tantrums and nothing is working. i try to ignore them but it makes it worse . i always end up giving in. yesterday she deliberaltely started throwing things at me out of anger and i put her in time out at least 4 times for misbehaving. i dont want to spank her cause i dont want to teach her to hit others to get her way. any suggestions?

My daughter loves tomatoes! It’s so funny because I never though she would…maybe she does because I ate them all the time when I was pregnant with her! She is five months old and has been eating for about a month now. I've tried noodles and a few gerber products but she doesn't seem to like them. Other then the tomatoes that she eats morning, noon, and night, what can I feed her? Also what is your son/daughter’s favorite food?
