Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 October 2006

Ok I ran out of room. Like I was saying, it was my gf's first time having sex and she's very small. She found out she has a kidney infection, but when the doctor was observing her, she wanted her to come back in two weeks for a pregnancy test if she missed her period. Why would this be? I don't know what a gyno looks for in determining pregnancy, but could it possibly been scar tissue since she was tight? she complained a lot about soarness the next couple of days and so far has not experienced any of the pregnancy symptoms. What else could it be to make the doctor THINK she MIGHT BE?? please someone let me know, because I am freaking out!

My daughter is 31/2 and we go to church reguarly sundays and wednesdays where she has her own designated classes to go to. she used to be a little clingy from about 12-24 mos but since her 2nd b-day she has been happily going to her classes where she does crafts and has snacks and has alot of fun. she has had no issues w/ seperation anxiety or clinginess for 11/2 years!!!! Now all of the sudden every time I want to leave her at class she cries and screams and kicks and even if I am firm and leave her there she wont stop and they have to call me back! she also took a preschool gymnastics class and at the 2nd class started crying for me and wouldnt go back..I watched the whole time and noone said or did anything traumatic. she has not undergone any major life changes or stressors at all in the family. She begged me to take a ballet class which we started last friday but I really need to "leave the room" next time as parents are not supposedto observe. im at my wits end!! HELP!

My 10 year old son got his braces off in July and was given a retainer by the orthodontist. The doctor instructed him on how to take care of the retainer and that if it was lost, there would be a $200 charge.

He is to wear the retainer at night and put it back in the case in the bathroom in the morning.

Several days ago, he was getting ready for bed and I asked to see the retainer. He lied and said that he had misplaced it the day before. After questioning him, I found out that it had been gone for a week. It would have been much easier to find if he had told me in the first place that it was gone. We have dogs who chew everything they find.

I really can't afford the $200 to replace something that was not taken care of properly.

My question is would it be wrong for me to suggest selling his video games to raise the money for the new retainer? He has several hundred dollars worth that he has collected over the last few years.

How do you tell a 16 year old that you are pregnant? My SIL doesn't know how to tell her son. She is about 5 months along and says that she doesn't want him to rebel or to get mad. She has gone through a rough divorce with the father of her 16 year old and because it was some what violent, she doesn't want him to find out either. She is seeing someone who has been very patient and loves her etc. which should be a good thing. When she has the baby, she plans on having her boyfriend move in a year after her baby is born.....I am concerned because I love her and her son, but it seems that she is confused herself and thinks that telling him in late January is best, but I've told her that it doesn't give him time to prepare for a new life in the home.....any advice?

I am 34 wks pregnant with my 2nd baby, and have been having pretty strong and regular Braxton-Hicks contractions off and on since about 31 wks. The last couple of days I have been having sharp pains in my cervix - it feels like a bad pap smear. The pains never happen with a contraction, but more likely when I am walking around or right after I get up from sitting.
My question is - has anyone else experienced this? What was it? I am wondering if it's the baby kicking my cervix, or if it's something I need to worry about. I have already been monitored for early labor contractions and had my cervix checked (3 weeks ago) and everything was fine.
I am going to talk to my dr about this at my appointment next week, but I'd like some educated opinions in the meantime! Thanks!

I was given Prometrium to help me sustain this pregnancy through the first semester since I had two previous miscarriages that they attributed to low progesterone levels. I am nearing the end of the first trimester, do I just stop taking it when ordered to do so or is it better to be tapered off of it? I do not want to jeopardize this pregnancy...

well i know some people get mad at mothers who kill there kids who are already born right ok so why do we allow the killing of unborn children is that not the same thing. If i am not saying that i would ever do this but lets say i did what the mother did and drowned my kids bc i could not handle it. And anthor mother has an abortion bc she could not handle it. what is the difference here. Both children have beating hearts and are alive and can feel. So i am asking what is the difference. This is an honest question im not trying to offend anyone im just curious. on how people see how this is different.
