Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 September 2006

I had heard that there is a fertility stone that you can year, would anyone know what that is? Also, someone had told me about a pregnancy god, any information on that as well. I am willing to try anything.

I have had on and off contractions and last night after I stodd up out of bed to go to the bathroom,I had a very painful cramping and tightening of my belly and then it went away after about 1 minute and I was ok afterwards. I am 37 weeks and have lost my mucus plug a few days ago. Could that of been lightening or the onset of real contractions which could start today??

Just for laughs.

Yesterday my nephew and I were at home and he came running out of the shower with only his underwear on. It was the funniest thing. I told him to go put his shorts on and when he was walking back his underwear was sagging a bit so I grabbed them from behind and pulled them up. It was the cutest thing, he actually thought it was funny.

Do any of you have similar stories or little games you play around w/the young ones?

We have to pass a test to drive a car. Statistically, more societal damage is caused by bad parenting than bad driving. When are we going to give children the priority that they deserve, and require parenting licenses for people to leave a hospital with a baby? Why not just a simple requirement of a violent-criminal-history clearance and a parenting class completion, and more requirements (home visits, facilitators) as "risk factors" incresase? Insurance companies rate us on statistics and risk factors. Why can't we rate parents on the same, and require that the riskier ones have more stringent requirements to meet? Children are not pets or property. It should not be considered anyone's "right" to care for a child. Adoptions and foster parenting impose MAJOR requirements, so why not natural parenting?

If you were thinking you were pregnant but didn't know? Because you haven't missed your period. Would you take the test as soon as possible?

I'm 7 weeks pregnant 20 years old, married and with a whole bunch of things ahead of me. I've just moved to the U.S. started school (my 3rd semmester), job and then I found out that I'm pregnant. I was aiming for a career in fashion merchandising, now that I am expecting I dont know anymore. Once the baby is born somebody has to take care of it for at least her 1st year (yes, I know that's gonna be me) and then I want to come back to school but here's my problem: after I gradue I will be all ready to start my job as a buyer. Fashion merchandising/ Being a buyer is a bit difficult because your work sends you all over the world all the time. My baby needs family, needs mom to be around her.... How can I go about this? Could anybody fammiliar with fashion merchandising/ buyer lifestyle give me any advice?

My 7 year old cousin is here from out of state but one of their bags was lost in the airport.

Now he only has a single pair of underwear (They arrived today) so I'm supposed to go out and buy more along with shirts/pants.

The problem is that he's wearing them, and won't tell me the size, nor will he take them off and see the label in back.

Is there any way I can tell/check. I want to do it before everybody comes home.

Thanks

Isn't your temp supposed to drop again when your period starts? In the past I've always been around 97.2 after O and then it would drop to 96.9 for AF. This month AF came but temp stayed at 97.5. I'm confused, I guess it may be implantaion bleeding but its more than just spotting.

The ovulation calender said If I had my period sept 4 that i should ovulate from the 15 to 20th.I usually notice when I do.. but nothing happend until just yesterday I started having the mucus (sorry) and that was it now its done. So was that when I really started ovualting yesterday? cuz I am trying to conceive and know semen can live in the vag.. for up to 5 days so if thats true and intercourse took place yesterday I should have a pretty good chance of conceiving right?

I've heard that you can have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and baby and the baby can get cerebral palsy at birth from the cord being wrapped around the neck. How much truth is there in that? What is the true cause of cerebral palsy?
