Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 November 2006

My boyfriend and I had sex five days after my period ended. We were using a spermicidal condom, and it broke. I'm hoping that because it was only five days after my last period and the condom was lubricated with spermicide that my chances of getting pregnant are low, especially because he didn't come. But I know there's always a chance. How likely am I to get pregnant? Did the spermicidal condom kill the sperm that might have leaked from his precome?

Then she took another and it was firm negative. And another firm negative this afternoon. But a couple months sge took 2 that were positive.

she will not eat her meals just her formula. she has been taking little naps aday but not sleeping through the night anymore. She does have her bottom two teeth and has two top teeth and her two front ones are coming in now too but why such a big change now? it has been a month since she has slept through the night and now 2 days since she has really eaten good. She hasn't been cranking, except when I try to feed her. She has been playing, crawling, and standing up like normal. The minute I put her in her highchair she starts to get cranking. I even have tried to give her real mashed potatoes mixed with her food which she usually likes.....please help

I have read that consuming Robitussin thins cervical mucus which improves fertility. But the fertile mucus should be sticky instead of watery? I am confused why Robitussin helps then?

Also is the discharge when a woman is aroused different from cervical mucus? How does the discharge help in getting pregnant?

My wife is from Spain and we recently took a vacation to see her family with three of our kids. We stayed with her sister by the beach also for one week. One day we took the kids(1,3,5) down to the ocean a good ten minutes from the villa. I had forgotten swimming trunks for my three yr old so I told him to go in naked.The other two had trunks and all three were playing happily. After about half an hour a British women came over and told me she was apalled to see me putting my son on show the way I was, and that it was abuse to the child.
The beach was quite quiet and I had not want to deprive him of playign with his brothers but after her words I was shocked and i told him to come sit with mom and dad while the others played, he was hysterical as he thought he was being punished, when I let him free I was met with glares from her entire group so my wife and i left the beach for the day. Is it weird that I let him run around naked?What do you think?

i recently read where a woman was in labor and the doctor was in surgery and he had the nurses give her this medicine that was supposed to stop the contractions so he could be there for the birth. her water had not broken yet but she was at 8 cm. i was just wondering what other people thought about this, i thought it was unnecessary to stop some natural process like this when the nurses could have delivered the baby. but i just want to see other peoples opinions!! thanks!

I guess we all want our children to be what we weren't. I want her to have fun but to do well too. She seems more artsy than intellectual although she seems to understand her math okay. Do I need to be anxious about her education?

I watched a birth video today and let me tell you, men have it EASY. I was so pissed off at the dad in this video because obviously the mother was going through hell trying to push that baby out of her and when it was over and she was about done cursing her brains out, the dad says "WE DID IT!"...we? WE? I think before the world ends, all men should expirience the birth process, give 'em something to think about.

Well I'm one the pill but the pill is not 100% effective and there was a few times my bf and I hit raw. I thought it was fine because i'm on the pill. well at first my bf was scared and i was fine but lately, i've been feeling wierd. Like at night i get a stomach ache, i constantly have headaches, my breast are more tender, my stomach is harder and i stopped eating a lot of things. Like i had chicken two nights ago and i felt like i was going to throw up and today there was chicken and it like grossed me out. I hope that all of this is symptoms of my pill even though this is my third month on it or its all in my head. When i think about it i think that ok, i'm turning 18 and this is my last year of high school and by the time i give birth i'll be graduated. By then Im not ready to have a kid. My bf is a little nervous and also kind of excited but its still scary. I just hope that i'm not.
