Hi I just took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative but it was 4 days before my period. Should I test again on tuesday since the hormone doubles every couple of days? Maybe my hormone level wasn't high enough....


(I know i should wait til i miss a period but i'm so anxious.) Nice answers please thank you.

I have recently found out that I am going to be a father, and I am the happiest man in the world. I want nothing more than to give my child every opportunity in this life that I was never given.

The day my child is born will be the day my life will begin, but with all these thoughts of joy, there is still a part of me that is scared to death. I was a victim of physical, psychological, and emotional abuse from both my parents through my childhood. I have always truly believed that I am nothing like my parents; but I am afraid that I too will become a hazard to my child.

I have always loved kids, and have been active in the lives of many kids. I know I can become the kind of father that I wish I had, but at the same time, no matter how hard I can try, no matter how much therapy I get, I can forget my childhood.

What can I do to make sure I do not become like my parents? Please no 'just don't do it' from those who were not abused.

What other things can I do to become a great dad?

My cousing and I are having a dilema.

Her 3 year old was taking a bubble bath. When she went in to check on the baby, she was complaining about a pain around her booty area. We asked some questions and, as it turns out, the baby put a JawBreaker into her Booty... yes!! A jawbreaker!! In her booty!!

We're worried and thinking about taking the baby to the emergency room. Either that or run off to the store to buy a laxative... but which one???

We're freaked out. I know this doesn't happen often but, if anybody can give us ANY advice, we'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

P.S.: We're not weird or sick... just 2 people trying to deal w/ a toddler issue. Thnx so much.

I'm only 16, so I won't have kids until at least the 2010s.

But if and when I do, these are the names I want to consider (for girls) - which do you think will come back? Not that I care if they're popular or not.

Melanie nn "Mel"
Tamara nn "Tammy"
Audrey (no nn) - this is sort of coming back now

My favorite is Tamara/Tammy, but I'm not sure the mother would agree with it.

1. It's obvious most of it is scripted
2. Even though it's always the parents fault, they suck at parenting!

If so, is it affordable, and do you have to be a member to use it? I live in Kansas, and I have heard so VERY bad things about daycare in my town. Just wanted to know something about theirs before I call and ask. Some places will push to have you join. Thanks.

Hello! I am 6 months pregnant, with my first child. Well sometimes I wake up during the middle of the night, or sometimes when i wake up in the morning. My belly hurts really really bad. It's been doing this for a while now. Is this normal? It's almost like my belly is to big for my body and it's making it hurt. Does that make sense? Has that happend to anyone else?
