Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 October 2006

Here are my cycles for the last 6 months.

41 days
29 days
32 days
34 days
43 days
26 days

I have a period every month but they are always a day late, or a few days early, or a week late. This has posed many problems in trying to figure out when I ovulate each month. Would a fertility monitor work for me? Should I worry about fertility issues because of my erratic periods? I talked to my gynecologist about it and he said that as long as I am having a period every month that I shouldn’t worry…I don’t have painful periods at all…Any advice would be gladly taken as my husband and I have been ttc now for 6 months.

My daughters is m/o and I am looking for another diaper brand and I am trying to save money. We use Pampers Cruisers now and they are fine. I tried Luvs but they seemed to sag a lot and did leak also. Has anyone tried the store brands? Do they stretch to fit? Any advice or experiences would help! Thank goodness I wont have to worry about diapers for too much longer!

I have a 7 year old daughter and I just found out I'm having a BOY, i'm so excited and a little scared too. My daughter is really good for the most part and my nephew is a total mess, is it b/c heis a boy or just the way he is raised? Is it just as easy to raise boys than girls? Looking for answers form women who have both a boy and a girl. Thanks

My 3 month old goes to daycare Mon/Wed/Fri's and is given expressed breast milk. I use Dr. Brown's bottles, but my daycare provider suggested a different type of nipple, as sometimes he doesn't seem very interested. Any suggestions welcome! btw, he nurses excellent, so that's not an issue :-)

I already asked this in pregnancy, but people ask questions so fast in that category that my question is already way down the line, and I only have a couple of answers. So I'm reposting it here.

I woke up this morning at 3 a.m. with nausea that was just like extra acid that wouldn't go away, I felt like I wanted to puke but could hold it. I feel like I could burp puke. It's different from my last preg because then I had hardly any Morning sickness, and when I did, it'd be a wave of nausea then I'd be ok. Yesterday my BBT went down in the morning, it had been going down, but then later that day and today it's been up. I thought AF was coming early yesterday because of cramps, but she didn't. The cramps stopped and now I feel like puking, but the HPT was neg. My AF isn't due for a couple of days but it's kind of late for implantaion, it's l11 days after ovulation. I could have that date wrong, though I'm pretty sure it's right.
My last prg was a miscarrage so thats a good sign right?

I teach an after school piano program for grades 1-4 in one class and grades 5-8 in two others. They need to journal at the beginning of class, we take 15 minutes. Journal topics don't always have to relate to music but I like to keep it in that area as much as possible. Ideas need to be age appropriate and comply with public school rules. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!! I really like creative ideas, so do the students!!

My daughter is 14(will be 15 in Feb) and likes this boy that is 16. She is a very beautiful mature looking 14. I told her she isnt aloud to date but the boy can come over with supervision and I talked to the boys parents(fathers a preacher) and told them my feelings and that they werent to be together un-supervised and to explain to him that it going to be hard to "date" my daughter because she's not aloud to go out on dates. He has a truck and if they go to the movies I take her and pick her up. I do like the boy they see each other at school,talk on phone and see each other at shool funtions. I find this letter he asks when they are going to have sex. Says he respects that she wants to wait but he is wanting to be her first and its pretty explecit on the things he wants to try-5 pages of I love you - you are the one-I want to make love to you-and go down on u..made me sick
She told him not going to happen-says he is fine with it. I'm still not! Should I just trust her and let it go?

Hubby and I have been TTC since last December. We cannot wait to have children. Sometimes I sit and daydream about what it'll be like to be a parent. How does it change you and your life? Is it really the toughest job you'll ever love?

I haven't had one single dose of morning sickness up to this point. Is that normal? I read that signs of no morning sickness can also be linked to miscarriage. I need a peace of mind.
