I haven't had my period since Sep (started sep 13). me and my significant other have been very active. and now i'm late. i should have started on the 20th this month. i've been spotting some, and I absolutely never spot, and I can pin-point the day I'm supposed to start!
I'm trying not to think about it, I know stress will delay my period - but I've felt sick for the past week and a half, really tired, and a guy friend noticed (surprisingly not me) that my breats looked a bit bigger and I had a "glow".
I think I might possibly be pregnant. Is there anyone who could figure out what day I ovulated? Could I really be preg?
I took a test two days after I was late came out negative. It was a 4 dollar test though, so I'm not so sure if I should trust that result. Has anyone else used cheap tests?
I'm still late though. Does anyone know if there are any Planned Parenthood Clinics in Austin, TX that do Blood tests? I don't have any health insurance but would like a blood test done though

Is your stomach more sensitive to pressure when you are in the first couple of weeks to a month being pregnant? example like if the dog steps on your stomach? When does your stomach start getting hard? When do you gain weight?

I've heard that if you have sex right after your period is over, the possibility of getting pregnant is very small if not a 0% chance.

True/False?

How much juice is it ok to give a five month old baby. My doc said it was ok to give him juice diluted with an equal amount of water but he didnt say how much or little to give him.

My husband and I are talking about having another baby. I am unsure as to whether or not I am ready for another one, as pregnancy and newborn babies are a lot of work. I think my husband really wants another baby, but he will not say how important it is to him, as he wants for it to be primarily my decision, since it will affect me more than anyone. And he knows that I will be more apt to do it if I know that it is something that he really wants. I don't know what to do. Any imput or ideas are welcome!

I just posted a question about being pregnant and it made me think of something else. I heard from a mother that she felt like she was going to get her period for months until she found out that she was pregnant. Has anyone else gone through that? How careful should you be if you are pregnant? I mean around your stomach..what precautions should you take so you dont hurt the baby early.

My wife is pregnant and refuses to get out of bed. She took a test last Tuesday and said it was positive with twins. Monday she quit her job and refuses to leave the bed because she says the baby wants her to lie down. She said I have to do all the laundry and cleaning and sent out applications for me to get a second job to supplement our income. Is this really something women should do when they are pregnant? Is it normal to stay in bed all day and night? When I got home from work yesterday the couch was still warm where she was sitting for hours(?) and eating cookies and drinking chablis, yet she still insists that the babies want her to remain in bed at all times. It's going to be a long 18 months - I never knew twins meant you were pregnant for twice as long...

My period was due the 23rd of this month (it's always on time). I still haven't started. I have been feeling I was pregnant for weeks now. I took a test today and it was negative. With my son I had a urine test done, it came back negative. Then a week later my Dr. took a blood test and it came back postive and I was 6 weeks pregnant. Could it happen again????? When should I take another test???? Really can't afford a blood test....... Thanks

I'm 5 weeks pregnant. I spotted all last week.....brown...no red or pink...just brown...and not much...but enough to make me think I was going to get my period. Then it didn't come. So I tested and got a positive. Then I had a blood test to confirm. The nurse said that spotting happens to some woman. She said that if something had been wrong with the baby or if there had been a problem that the blood test would not have shown I was pregnant. So I'm pregnant....and I'm still spotting a little. Smaller than last week. How long does it last? It drives me crazy. It is such a small amount and only faintly colored tan....could it just be drainage? I see the OB for the first time tomorrow. I'm just really anxious.

I don't think it is, I'm a mom of 2 and pregnant with my 3rd, so I would think I was a bit of an expert. But my guy friend just called me and is freaking out because a girl he met and slept with 2 weeks ago just called him and told him she is 2 weeks pregnant. I don't think I ever knew when I was 2 weeks pregnant, i was always atleast 6-9 weeks along when I found out. What do you think?

to not actually feed your baby a lot but letting him taste things at 2 months old, I made beef stroganoff tonight and dipped my finger in the gravy sauce a few times and let my son taste it I would go mmm yum! and he kept getting a huge smile on his face and then a little giggle would come out. I thought this was sooo cute but is this harmful and if so why? (I understand dairy has to wait like yogurt or ice cream, ect.)

I'm 35 1/2 wks (due Nov 26) and I've been dealing with a lot of stomach and pelvic "discomfort." To help ease this, I laid the heating pad on my stomach/abdomen on top of my blanket. It must have helped because I ended up going back to sleep (for a few hours). The heat wasn't enough to burn me or turn my skin red, but my stomach was warm to the touch for a few minutes after I got up - that's when I began to worry whether or not I could've hurt the baby. At this point in the pregnancy, are there any major risks? I don't plan on using the heating pad anymore - this has worried me sick all day. I guess I'm just wondering if anyone else has done this and if the baby was ok.
