Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 November 2006

I have a 5 mo old baby, and have swadled her from birth, this is the only way that I can get her to go to sleep and once she gets a hand out she's awake, but now she's getting so big that it's becommeing really hard keeping her swaddled through the night.
Any suggestions?

My job switched insurance companies on us but made special arrangments for me to still have health care being that i'm already pregnant. But I did have to switch dr. which was not so much of a biggie because I don't get attached to them like that, but you know. So yesterday was my 1st visit with the new dr. accoriding to them "they do they're practice different" i tell them i'm 17 weeks pregnant. The dr. stops me and says no by your LMP you're 22 wks along, i said well I have an irregular cycle a lot of things happened that month i'm 17 wks give me an ultrasound. she says u/s are most accurate early so there is no point in doing that unless you have complications. I said ok, then feel my uterus, it's no where near my belly button which should indicate to you that i'm not even 20 wks yet. She says back to me, oh, so you're the dr. now? I'm like no but I read up on this alot, not to mention that I had an u/s @ 7wks, 8w5d, 13wks, and 14wks3day (level 2) and they all matched my due date. she said this is a different practice and i'm putting you due MArch 28 instead of April 28th. OK thats a whole month off. That's not even safe. one week maybe even two would not upset me, but a whole month. So now i have to argue with me job and try to find yet another dr. or try to see how i can go back to my orginal. What should I do? and who should I trust?

I was on the pill and stopped taking it in September. My LMP was Sept 26, 2006. I have had unprotected sex with my soon-to-be husband. On November 10, I went to the doctor for a blood test afterseveral HPTs came back negitive. The blood test gave the same answer, negitive. My doctor told me that I could still be pregnant and the I should wait two to four weeks before testing again. Friday, November 24, will be two weeks, should I take another test or just wait a full week. I should have gotten a period on October 23 and then again on November 19. We have had unprotected sex since I went off the pill and wil continue to do so because we want a child in the near future.

My ONLY 2 1/2 month old seems to be having teething symptoms...but she's so young! She is drooling a lot and has been sucking on her hands quite a bit. She's not fussy, nor does she have a fever. Could it be possible she's teething already? What are some of the other teething symptoms?

My son is not really "bad", he's almost three years old so how bad could he be, he is just very difficult and I feel guilty taking him to people's houses. He screams, bangs on their TVs, throws thigs and breaks them sometimes, just everything to destroy their home practically. My realtives keep telling me it's ok and this is how children are but I know they feel relieved when I leave. A lot of times I just leaves abruptly because I can't take it anymore ( I have a newborn too so it is even harder). When will this change? Does anyone else feel this way? Is it wrong for me to stay home because of him, I'm just waiting for this phase to pass. Don't tell me to spank him, I'll twist his ear if he's really bad but I don't hit him, once or twice I have in the past, and I try time out all the time.

It would have been my friends baby. My question is do I tell him that I was prenant (didn't get a chance since I only had two days to think I was pregnant) or do I not tell him since we are not dating just good friends? I don't want him to freak out on me but I don't want to go through this alone

My oldest is almost 17 (also have 2 other boys 15 and 8) and from the time that I concieved, I constantly had people telling me what I should or shouldnt do, espcially my brother who has no children and has pretty much never even been around kids. I think its one thing when a parent gives you advice since they had already been through the same things but when they've had no children then put thier 2 cents in, dontcha just wanna say "Did I ask you??"

BTW, this is a general Q. I dont have a specific problem I am referring to. I guess this is more like a rant.
And my brother, I rarely even talk to anymore so....

I had my "anual exam" done on monday. Thats when i found out i was 5 weeks pregnant. Later that night i had VERY SLIGHT bleeding. It was a light pink and not even enough to soak my underware. It was just a teeny tiny bit. Is this something i should be worried about or could it have been from my exam?

We have two boys age 3 and 5. We went over to a couple’s house for dinner. They have two children close to the same age. Their back yard is fenced in and I did check it out and there was no apparent dangers out there. Anyway the kids ask to go out there and play. I said it was ok with me but the wife of the other couple said that someone had to be out there with them. An adult someone. So her husband and I sat out there for a while with them. Later she ask if we let our kids play outside by themselves. I said yes in our fenced in back yard for short periods of time. We check on them every 5min or so but yes. She ask if were not scared something would happen to them. At this point I just wanted to end this line of questing so I playfully said " no not really, we are still young and can have more if something happens to one of them" . Of course I was joking but she could not believe that I would ever say something like that. Was she over reacting or was it my bad taste in a joke?

I have been having all pregnancy symptoms since a little bit after I ovulated so I took a Clear Blue Easy Digital Test (the ones that say Pregnant or Not Pregnant) about a week before my period was supposed to come. The first test that I took said pregnant. The next morning I took the second test in the box and it said not pregnant!? So I went in for a blood test and they gave me a bunch of crap because it was a week before my missed period but I was concerned because I had a miscarriage about six months back. The blood test came up negative. I am now late on my period and still have cramping, nausea, head acches and now sore breasts. Has anyone ever had this happen or had bad experience with this test?

I just found out yesterday that I am 5 weeks pregnant. I went to my GYN and am in the process of finding a OB or OBGYN to ask the questions to but i figured moms or moms-to-be would know too.

1. When do you have your first sonogram? What do you find out with that sonogram. Heartbeat/healthy?

2. During which week/month do you find out what the sex of the baby is?

3. My due date is July 21st-22nd. Are due dates that accurate this early in pregnancy?

Thanks for any SERIOUS answers!!!
