I just found out that I am pregnant - after 7 months of trying! YAY! This is my first child, so of course, I have questions! I have not been to the doc yet - I can't get in until Jan 5th, but I took 2 hpt's and they were both positive, plus my period is like clockwork (every 28 days on the nose) and it's late, plus my husband and I had been using ovulation kits and were "active" when I ovulated.....so......

For those of you that have kids, what tests did the doc do on the first visit? (If you remember!) Is an ultrasound done a while before a sonogram? What's the difference?

How long did you wait before you told family? Friends? Coworkers/boss?

Thanks!

Do you think once a child learns that Santa Claus doesn't exist that they lose part of that childhood innocence? I can remember when I found Santa didn't exist I also immediately asked about the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny too and in turn found out it was all made up. I can remember the let down of feeling like my parent's had lied to me. However, while I understand the true meaning of Christmas, I have made sure to maintain that childish love for the make believe of it all with Santa Claus and still carry that magic onto my children ( 5 and 3 ). I will never lose my childhood ways to Santa as I think it helps adults feel like a child again believing in the magic of it all. As a parent, I realize a day will come when my children learn the truth as well...but does that mean they have to stop believing in the magic and lose part of the innocence that makes childhood a childhood?

I am 5.5 weeks pregnant.

I went to my general doctor and he told me as long as I was eating "food" then I am okay. I asked him if there were certain things I shouldn't eat and he told me not to worry about it and to just eat healthy!

I made an appointment with an OB/GYN, but they won't see me till I am 12 weeks along!

I thought I wasn't suppose to eat fish, unpasteruize cheeses, and other things... this is my 1st pregnancy, help!

I've been divorced for almost 4 years and have a 5yr. old son. My family is really religious and it's frowned upon not to be married.

I have been feeling really funny lately... for weeks actually and I don't know what's going on. Everyone around keeps saying I'm pregnant, but I got my period so I don't think I am. But some people including my cousin and mom said they had gotten there's and was pregnant. Did anyone else ever go through this? Did any of you have your period and still be pregnant? Was it like a regular period or what? Did any of you take a pregnancy test and it come out negative but you still ended up pregnant?

My girlfriends mom keeps giving our three month old daughter juice (barely watered down) and food like applesauce, whip cream, ice cream, gravy, ketchup etc... My girlfriend has asked her to stop repeatedly but she gets defensive and says she's has raised five kids (4 are at extremely over weight). The doctor told us that we couldn't feed her anything besides forumla and a little water til after 4 months. She just hit the 3 month mark last week. What are some of the down sides to feeding her these things this early so i can show her why this is wrong

My 19 year old daughter started seeing this "boy" about 2 months ago but always had an excuse as to why we never met him. Thrusday we confronted her and found out that this "boy" just turned 36 on Friday. :( Her boyfriend is only 3 years younger then we are. There can be only 2 things someone our age is looking for from someone my daughters age. Either marriage or sex. I think she is too young and immature for either. Niether of them see anyhthng wrong with this, even though he has a daughter himself then is almost my daughters age. :( I know she is 19 but she still lives under my roof and I take care of ALL her expenses. They had a talk with us about this and THEY feel she is old enough, mature enough and independent enough to make her own decisions in life. Which I know is not true. If she was soo independent then I would not be her only means of living. And she is about as mature as my 10 year old. But I am afraid that if I put my foot down she will move out and in with him.

When I was at high school, I saw a gurl (who is a teenager) got pregnant this year. No, for real.

I appreciate my mother for keeping my kids once every two weeks while i work, but she wants to feed my seven month old table food just because she has broken a tooth. I don't agree with this, but I don't want to loose my child care either... Can someone help me come up with a way to tell her not to do this?

There is a burn warning on the plaster of paris package. If I remove her hand after the imprint is finished and wash her immediately, is it safe for me to do this?

If you're taking the kids/nephews/nieces/etc. to the beach, what do you do to get sand out of their trunks and booty's after?

I've seen moms actually take their kid by the shower pull from behind their trunks and just clean right their with their hands.

How do others handle this?

How do you help them get it out?
