My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months. 11 Aug was my most recent period, but all of the tests I'm taking at home are coming out negative. I also have a little crampy feeling on my left side, around where my ovary is. Should I go to the dr. to get a blood test?

Ex: Walkers (for babies) were invented long ago, to help a lil one toddle around before learning to walk. They have since been banned. WHY? Because some parents can't keep an eye on a small baby that can't even WALK yet?

Folks want to villianize the internet and "MySpace" and other web sites, for preying on their children, but won't take the computer out of the child's room or perhaps even LOOK at what a child is doing online.

Just wondering how people feel about this subject when going into labor. I have been told that I was a failure for getting drugs during labor and that I didn't get to experience the real miracle of birth. Like I wasn't a REAL woman for not going natural. The way I look at it is, I am not going to go have a root canal without drugs so why should I give birth without them. (Granted, I ended up with a c-section) but I did opt for the epidural before that. I wasn't out of it during labor and delivery and I remember and enjoyed every bit of it. I think it is more important to be a good mother for your children.

I should add that I have nothing against women that go naturally. I just don't like being told what a failure I am.

my husband and i haven't had intercourse lately because i am pregnant and he's afraid it will hurt the baby. he didn't have a problem with it from the beginning to 6 month. i give him hints and touch him playfully everyday, but he still refuse to have sex. i like to sleep alone so i make him sleep on the couch and he understands that, but he likes to sneak back in later when i am asleep and cuddle up with me. okay not having sex for a while is getting to me cause i am still young!! so last night i went to bed naked thinking he would cuddle up again but no he didn't. anyways i caught him masturbating to girls gone wild and it hurt me. i don't know if i should be angry or forget about it. i know it hurts my feelings though that he chose to masturbate to other girls insted of having the real thing with me... right now i just don't know how to get over it. because of his decison i feel that i am not attractive to anymore. any advice?

Im Emily and Im 13 years old. A few months ago, my boyfriend and I engaged in intimate contact. We hugged while lying in bed. I assure you we both had our clothes on. I do realise that what we have done was wrong. I don't want to be pregnant and I regret having done that. I have decided that I won't ever be doing it again. But now I'm worried that I could be pregnant. However, it has been 3-5 months since my last period. People have told me that it is normal as it is still the beginning of my periods. Im planning on visiting a doctor. Im really worried? Could I be pregnant? What are the chances? I know a guy dosent have to ejaculate me for me to become pregnant, but can I really be pregnant with clothes on?

I am a 21 yrs old and a mother to a one year old little girl. I would really like to make a friend in the same situation. I live in Maryland and dont have any friends that have children. None of my friends really understand what its like. Most mothers are older than me. I am just looking for someone close to my age to talk with.

My 8 year old grand-daughter is in 3rd grade and the past couple of years was teased and made fun of because she's chubby. Now, she's called fat, but in my opinion she's not what you'd call fat, I tell her just how beautiful she is and that those kids evidently aren't happy themselves or they wouldn't take time to pick on her. She seems to be doing a little better this year, she moved and goes to a different school. This kind of stuff has gone on forever and the kids that are doing the bullying would pick on her for something else if she weren't chubby. Kids just seem to find something.I'm just hoping it doesn't eat away at her self esteem. Can anyone tell me if there's more I can do as a grandma?

I'm confused, some things I've read say a runny nose is not a sign of teething and other's say it is. My son who has no teeth *yet* has a clear runny nose and was wondering if a cool mister (humidifier) would help him. Has no other cold like symptoms, so if it's a sign of teething should I bother ?
