Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 October 2006

So, we're trying to have a baby and have been trying since June, but nothing. Well, I'm supposed to come on my period the 1st, and a day or two before my period I start cramping and always get a pain in my lower back, and a bit irritable. Well out of those three all I've been is irritable (which I am a lot anyway), for a few days I’ve been getting a slight pain in my lower stomach for a few seconds and then it goes away. Also, I’ve been craving for French fries. My bf says I want to be pregnant so bad that I feel like I have the symptoms and that may be the case because I thought I was pregnant last month, but I wasn't. Is it to early to really tell? How long before I get a pregnancy test and what else could it be if I'm not pregnant? Could I just want to be so bad I've made myself mentally think I am and actually feel like it?

Has anyone out there relaxed their hair in the 2nd trimester or gotten any word that its ok at that point? I've heard stories that some women did them through their entire preg with no ill results on the baby. I was gonna use a mild or kiddie relaxer like pcj pretty and silky. please help!

I ovulated after my period for about 4-6 days. My husband came in from offshore the day after I was scheduled to be finished ovulating and we had intercourse hoping that the egg would still be there. It was unprotected. We are trying to concieve. We also did the same thing the next day but I am unsure about this. Does the egg immediately go away after the last day of scheduled ovulation? Or can it still exist even though your Ovulation charts says you are done? Please help!

I am thinking of buying both my kids one of those hand held vacuums for small jobs that they can use in their rooms for little messes instead of dragging the big one out. This would be a small Christmas Gift.

Good Idea or Bad, whats your opinion?

Yesterday morning I woke up and felt nauseous...I figured it was just because I needed something to eat.( I have to wake up at 4 am everyday to go to work) I grabbed a small snack and headed out the door...I couldn't even take two bites of the first piece without feeling sick. I drank some milk hoping it would help by coating my stomache. I got to work and took two pepto bismol...within an hour I threw up 4 times. I came home and took a nap. When I woke up I was feeling perfectly fine.
I recently suffered a miscarriage back in August. I have a had a period since then..my fiance and I haven't tried to have another one yet, but we haven't used protection either..he was using the pull out method. My next period isn't due for another week and a half. So my question is...Is it possible that I may be having morning sickness this early... if I am pregnant?

Clothes for small girls (including toddlers) seem to be designed in the same styles as teen clothes even though little girls are a completely different shape. Why is this? Where can little girls get sensible clothes that are comfortable to play in?

I have a 4-5 year old girl that can be sometimes a litttle obsessive about things, and constantly cries since she started jk? I guess i just need a little reassurance that this is normal. From everything i read it seems it is, but i cant help but feel its not.

I have tried EVERYTHING to pottytrain my 3.5 year old. He goes pee no problem. He even goes to bed at night in his undies. My problem is he won't poop on the toilet. I've tried putting in a small potty for him. My parenting mag. says leave the underwear on him. He'll only get constipated once. He poops in them too though! I've tried giving in and putting a pull up on him (but I don't want to give in all the time). He has sat on the potty and will hold it in until he gets off then will do it in his undies or pull up. Please please someone help me with some advice. I go through alot of laundry. He is due to start school next September too. Why won't he poop on the potty?! Thank you in advance and if you're only looking for the 2 points go answer someone else. I'm desperate.

My wife and I have been together for 5 years and married for 2.

She is 24 and I am 26 and we are planning our first baby.

About a year ago we decided we wanted a baby, so we have been traveling a lot, spending extra time around kids, and preparing other way (replaced my car with a safer one, training our dog to be kid friendly, and doing home improvements, etc.)

We are financially set now as we finished school, bought a house, and landed stable careers a few years ago that we actually love.

We feel prepared because we are happy in our marriage and we know we are financially, mentally and emotionally stable for a family.

We really wanted to have our ducks in a row before conceiving, and we know 2007 is the year for us to have our baby!

How did you know you were prepared as a couple to have a baby?
