My BF and I stupidly had unprotected sex on Thursday night. We had gone out, got a little intoxicated and got stupid. After going to a million websites and checking ovulation predictors based on my LMP it seems I should have been fertile on that day. Since Saturday I've been feeling nauseous on/off but at no particlular time of the day, no vomiting. I feel like I have very mild menstrual cramps but my period shouldn't be here til Nov 16th. Does this sound like anything you girls have had when you were pregnant? I'm a nurse and they can teach you all the stuff they want out of a text but when it's your own body you have no clue! :) I've also never been pregnant before so I have NO idea what to expect if I was pregnant. Any advice would help...oh yeah, I plan on getting a blood test at the dr but they can't do it until 2 weeks after the expected date of conception. Thanks!

Thanks everyone!~!

My neighbor is looking for someone to watch her preemie baby for about 5 months while she is working. I am thinking of doing it for her. (I have a three month old myself.) I have no idea what to charge though. I would imagine it would be worth more than daycare, which she is trying to avoid during his younger months. At the same time I don't want to over charge. Opinions? I asked her for a number but she put the ball back in my court.

My daughter is 5 years old. At school she is ahead of the game, always listens etc etc, shes pretty much perfect.
Her father had ADHD and her half sister,10 ,has ADD. At home my daughter is uncontrolable. She cannot sit still or be quiet for more then 5 minutes at a time, at dinner we ask her to be quiet she says ok and 30 seconds later she is singing to herself again and its like she doesnt even realize she is doing it. She will get in moods atleast 3 or 4 nights a week where she litterally will run all over laughing and yelling and I have to yell at her several times to get her to stop for 1 minute. She gets so engrossed in this mood that she doesnt realize she is bumping into things.
Many other parents who have witnessed her like this have told me her hyperness isnt normal but when I ask her doctor I get told that unless the school speaks up and it interferes there, we cant do anything?? I really dont want to medicate her, I just want to know Im not dilusional.

I have morning sickness 24/7, bad! I dont throw up, but I cant get anything down. I am very nauseated! I am getting really upset lately, I am only 7 weeks 4 days and I dont know if I can handle being pregnant. That is horrible to say because this baby is very much wanted but I am scared to death to see what else comes along, I want to be excited but how can I? any advice or did anyone else go through this? I really hope my sickness goes away soon.

I know that some tests say five days before period, some say three...I just wanted to know if I happen to get a negative response...should I spend the money a few days later to check again?

Even though in the past they've always been healthy? In the beginning of August (this year), my daughter had tonsillitis. She took antibiotics and it cleared up in a couple of weeks. In the beginning of September, she had a high fever for two days (with no other symptoms), but then that cleared. Then, in the beginning of October, she had an upper respiratory infection. She took antibiotics for 5 days. Her fever was gone by the 2nd day with antibiotics, but she still had a runny nose which lasted 2 1/2 weeks. I thought it might be allergies, so I talked to a pharmacist and she suggested giving her Dimatapp Elixir. That seemed to clear her runny nose after taking it for 2 days. Well, NOW today, she has a low fever, but no other symptoms. I'm hoping it will run its course, but I'm also worried about what is causing her to have a fever at least once a month all of a sudden. Of course, if her fever persists, I will take her to a doctor and ask him about this.

homeschooling? She used to be very friendly, and come in to eat where I work every weekend. After I took my daughter out, she has been avoiding me and she asked me soon after if I worked every weekend, I told her yes, and now she hasn't been coming into the resteraunt on weekends. Why would she act like this. We parted on good terms. I thought. I gave her notice of me taking my daughter out and thanked her for all she had done. She is a Christian, so I don't understand why she is acting the way she is. Like I have the plague. Any ideas?

Any suggestions on how to keep my one year old in a pair of socks? I can't make him wear shoes all the time as he does need to rest his tootsies and I definetely cannot put a footed sleeper on him all the time as he is very hot natured. He will take them off constantly, in the grocery store, in his baby bed, in the floor crawling around, anywhere. This is starting to become very expensive because sometimes those socks end up getting lost if I am not right there with him when he takes them off (ie, his dad takes him to the grocery store!) Any serious suggestions and please nothing harmful or mean to the baby, I don't want to hurt him, just keep his feet warm.

I have 3 children and a boss who doesnt care that I have them. My 8 y/o daughter has to be up at 530 in the morning and has to be dropped off at school by daycare, and then goes to daycare after school until 6, where she is then picked up by a relative and kep until 7,at which time, I pick her and take her home and then feed her and her 2 brothers,age 13 & 14, who are alone after school everyday from 4-730. My husband, their father, doesn't really make a whole lot of money for us to live on alone, but my work hours are starting to affect the kids, and I'm starting to think it isn't worth it to keep working. Would it be better to quit and look for another job w/ a better schedule, or stick w/ it, while looking for new work. I'm getting so frustrated and have to talk myself into going to work everyday now, and I never had to, but the boss changed my schedule, and gave me no choice. Help!!!!!

Ive been reading a few posts on here and i was wondering what is the min. age to get your tubes tied? Ive seen women around the age of 24. My doctor wouldnt even think of tying my tubes at this age im only 23. Dont take it to heart its just a question. Are the laws different and that is why the younger people are able to have them done or is it a doctors preference or even the patients preference Im not even considering having it done. It was just a ? I had. I think that when menopause comes that is when i will have permanent tubal ligation. I can wait until then lol

I am looking into individual health insurance because my hubby and I are trying to conceive and I don't have any. I know I need to have it BEFORE i become pregnant. I don't know a thing about insurance and can't seem to find any insurance companies that offer maternity coverage.......I work for a temp agency and have worked for them for a year and a half and their insurance is astronomical so I'm looking on my own. My hubby doesn't have insurance where he works as a mechanic so i can't get it through his insurance. Any advice would help!!!!
