Pregnancy & Parenting - 18 December 2006

I went for my 6wk 3day u/s today and they just saw an empty sac. The sonogram lady was somewhat concerned. They did an HCG test and my level has gone up to about 17,000. I have had slight symptoms of pregnancy(upset stomach, sore boobs), but they seem to have lessened the past couple days. Should I be concerned about a blighted ovum at this stage or is it common to not see anything until later in pregnancy???

My son is 5 months old, he can lift his head, and roll from back to stomache. I'm worried about SIDS, since he nestles, or buries his face when he sleeps. I constanly have to roll him back, or turn his head sideways so he can breathe. He has the habit of falling asleep on my chest since he was a newborn since I nurse him to sleep every night before bed. He won't sleep otherwise. I then lay him on his back in his crib when he's REALLY out, and I watch the monitor till he wakes to nurse again. I do this off and on all night. Needless to say I don't sleep much, unless I bring him to sleep next to me in my bed or across my chest where I can watch him more closely. I'm slowly phasing this out. I have a sleep routine down for him, and I know it's a transition but I really could use some more helpful tips.

I tell my son when I am scolding him "that's ridiculous, you have to clean up your room...!" and now he says "that's diculous!," but it sounds like "that's dickless." Should I stop him from saying that or should I not even let him know that he is saying a bad word

The last time that ive had sex was 9 days ago, and my period was suppose to start 3 days ago but it havent yet and ive been so worried and ive been havin cramps and puking but the doctor said that i might have a stomache flu...and i know that when ur sick it also delays your period but still, and when we had sex the condom didnt break or anything, but im still worried. i am really young also so iuno if that might affect anything. but whats the chance that i might be pregnant?

A normal period for me is 5 days not 3...It's Dec. 18 now--no period just spontaneous cramping and sore breasts--should I be worried about pregnancy?

I have recently been to visit my best friend and her six month old son, my god son. They don't live near me so i don't get to see them that often. i was shocked at what she was feeding him. between bottles i saw her give him a piece of chocolate, some Quavers (chips), half a biscuit and ice cream, all throughout the day. In the evening she gave him a cheap brand of adult irish stew, mashed up. I was horrified at all the salt, sugar etc going into him. He was up screaming all night and the poor little thing was destressed. His teeth are coming through but Im convinced he had stomach ache. I do not have children and am pregnant with my first. am I right to be concerned or is it normal to give a six month child all that junk?

I am currently moved home from college and I dont want ANY of this childhood crap in my room anymore, but my mom wants me to hold onto a lot of it. I will put it out to be given away or thrown out and she will put it back in my room saying "Well you have to keep this, so and so gave it to you.." etc. How do I tell her without hurting her that I don't want it anymore! It keeps ending up back in my room!

I am babysitting and there was a knock at the door. I didn't answer, of course. It kept knocking for about 3 minutes! I don't know what to do. They haven't seen me because there are no windows in the front of the house where the door is. I am keeping the child shushed. The guy at the door is saying 'open up, it's only me.' and 'i know youre in there'...I'm REALLY scared, what should I do? It is not anyone who lives here because the only person who lives here is one woman...and her child of course who I am babysitting. What should I do? I've tried to call her but no answer. HELP! AND ASAP!

Im 16 years old. And me and my boyfriend had sex about 2 weeks ago and he cummed in me. Im on the pill so we dont usually use condoms, and that time we wernt. But he had just cummed like 30 minutes before that. So i didnt think that i could get pregnant. But my boobs have been so sore and my nipples are darker and really sore. And im not supposed to start my period until next week. So i dont know if i could be pregnant or not.

Does anyone know exactly how long it takes to get pregnant after you get off of the birthcontrol shot? It has been four months so far.

I recently noticed in the behaivour of my new 6 year old son ( my husbands but i m going to adopt them because their mom died ) that when things aren't done as he wants and when he wants he throws tantrums (yells and throws toys or objects or hits us). Time out doesn't work. Taking things away doesn't work because he has many toys and games and he always finds something else to be intertain with. Is this only a phase? Or we need to take action now but how?

I would stop the minute I knew I was pregnant but I wonder that since the manufacturers don't know if anyone can tell me please.
