I'm 19 and my fiancee is 24. We have been together 11 months. Since being with him, I have wanted to have a baby, but put it to the back of my mind as i thought i was too young and plus we are still living at home with our parents. Recently we got engaged and a couple of weeks after, he started talking about having a baby. He really wants it and is not putting any pressure on me. I really want to tell him I want a baby too, but i feel as though people will think i'm too young, altough im very mature for my age.I know it shouldnt matter what people think, but to me it does. Is it irresponsible of us to plan a baby if we are still living at home? Although we have started a savings account and will move out as soon as we have enough money. We both really want this and dont want to wait any longer. any advice?

My last period was on August 2, it was a normal period. I have irregular periods, cycle ranging from 28-46 days. I took many HPTs and all were negative so I had a beta HCG blood test done about a month ago and it was less than 2 (which is negative). I kept using my saliva ovualtion scope everyday thinking maybe I hadn't ovulated yet and that is why my period was so late. According to my ovulation scope I would ovulate around October 15, so we had sex October 15, 16 and 18. When I went to the bathroom this morning there was a little bit of pink/light red blood mixed with a slimy mucous. I have been wearing a panty liner all day and there is nothing on it, but every time I wipe the blood/mucous is there. My periods always start out very heavy, they are not light in the beggining so I don't think this is my period. Could this be implantation bleeding? If it is how soon can I take a HPT?

its my third pregnancy and i wasnt sure how far along i was because im iregular. so i went for a ultrasound and i was 4wks, but the doc said he couldnt see a baby or anything, just the little black sack. is that normal because im so early on to not see not even a dot? or could it mean maybe there is no baby at all?

So I bought these cabinet hooks that keep the door closed and I can not figure out how to attach them correctly!

Here is a link to the exact product that I purchased:http://safeandsecurebaby.com/Cabinet-and-Drawer-Latches-by-Safety-1st-12-Pack-pr-80.html

Has anyone installed these darn things and can somehow illustrate in words how I can install them too??

Thanks.

I'm going on my 25th week of pregnancy. During the first part of my pregnancy, my sex drive was very normal, but lately I have none at all. It bothers me a lot that I'm not really there for my husband, but he is throwing a huge fit about it. He constantly bugs me for it and throws a fit if he doesn't get any. Last night he woke me up at 4am because I guess he figured it wasn't right that he can't sleep because he isn't getting enough sex. We had a similar problem with my first pregnancy. I'm trying to figure out how to keep him pleased even though I am not in the mood to have sex. My orgasms don't even feel good, so I just don't want to, but he can't seem to understand that. I am sick of him being mad about this and wish he would just drop it and try to be a bit more understanding. Anyone else have this problem? Any advice on what I can do to make him a bit more happy and keep his mind off of it?

Or how old the fetus is? Nothing on the picture makes it specifically hers - except maybe the name of the clinic she says she goes to. Does this sound right, or could she be faking that it is her ultrasound? i only saw the pic online -email
