Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 December 2006

I am 8 days past ovulation according to my basal body charts. All 8 days past ovulation temps are higher than coverline and they are getting higher with each passing day. I am supposed to start my period tomorrow. But I am wondering will me ovulating this late make my period tomorrow late?? IF so when do you think I should test. I have been having a few possible pregnancy symptoms but I am not thinking too much of them because I don't want to get my hopes up. When do you think is the most logical time to try testing and when do you think I should expect my period if I am not pregnant. ALL OPINIONS WELCOMED **SERIOUS MATURE ANSWERS ONLY** PLEASE don't be negative I am just asking an opinion THANKS in advance I am reposting this in other categories so if you have already answered thank you so much. I just want to get a variety of answers thanks a ton!!!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!!

My husband and I have been trying for 2 years to have a baby. We are due in February with our first child! As you can imagine we are very excited. However, we were advised by our reproductive doctor that since we have the right recipe we should return to her in early Spring if we want to try for a second child. We took some time off this past April and went on two vacations and the next month when we resumed treatment we were pregnant!
We want to try for a second in late May with out doctor. My husband wants to go away to Mexico for a week before we start treatments back up. He knows how much of a physical toll as well as mental it takes on me and now we will also have a newborn to care for. My parents have offered to care for child while we away. My mom and dad have plenty of experience with children so I am not worried about that. We would take a direct flight so in case we had to return we would get home as fast as possible. Is it too soon to leave a newborn? Thank you!

Does drinking a lot of alcohol lower your body temp. enough to keep sperm alive longer and keep your body from fighting them off better?

I am 4 months pregnant and having crazy crab cravings. I have read and heard that you should stay away from seafood, but I have yet to find crab on the list of foods to avoid. Does anyone know any different?

I am 6 weeks pregnant, I want to my regular doctor at 4 weeks and he gave me a urine pregnancy test and confirmed I was pregnant. We did not have any blood work done, beta count or anything like that. Then he had me set up an appointment with a OB/GYN, but they won't see me until I am 12 weeks.

This is my first pregnancy! I am just amazed that no one will do any blood work or anything for another 7 weeks or so.

Is this normal?

She said it can be three things. 1. It can be larger because its my second. 2. I'm farther than we think. which i'm pretty sure on my date of my LMP. 3. twins. My sister was just pregnant with twins. She ended up losing both of them. Does that mean i have more of a chance of having twins? My great grandma also told us that its our turn to have twins. I go for a ultrasound on the 28th, but i can't wait. lol!! has this happend to anyone?

I have a baby bed that converts into a toddler bed. My daughter hates it but loves to sleep in a regular bed. She's only 17 months old and refuses to sleep in it at all. Should I convert her bed to a toddler bed and try that? I have an 11 year old but he always slept by himself. I am out of options and want her out of my bed!!!

I have another check up next week, and I will ask. But I wanted to see if anyone else could tell me the implications of a completely dropped baby (you literally have to reach AROUND his head to get to my cervix) and a high cervix, (midwife has a hard time reaching it.

Iam effaced a little, from what I can tell, but not dilated- will be checked in a few days.

Does the cervix being so high mean a potential for any complications? Dilation should solve that problem right? The cervix will just dialate around his head, instead of his head being square on it?

The midwife didnt seem concerned.. but then I checked online and found a few threads about women who has issues with it, but their babies hadnt dropped.. and mine has.

nearly 36 weeks right now.

Thanks guys.

So I have a 2 year old, and I also have a 3 1/2 month old. Lifes good things are ok. Would it be wrong to already be pregnant again? Don't get the wrong idea its by the same guy, and I'm not even sure if I am. But would it be bad? Would it be so wrong if in a way I wanted to be?

My husband think I am spoiling my baby. Is it bad that I pick her up after 5 or 10 minutes of crying?? Even if her diaper isnt wet or she isnt hungry? Isn't she too young yet to be left alone?

A friend of mine is going to get an abortion tomorrow and she wants me to go with her as support. I was just wondering what all to expect when I go with her tomorrow. What do they do? Please don't bad mouth my friend, if you come to this question to bad mouth her I will report you. I am pro-choice. I feel that it's a woman's choice to do what she wants wit her body. Me personally couldn't never go through with it but if a woman wants to then it is her body and she can do it if she wants!

I'm 32 and male...I've been thinking about the subject of children lately. Basically, I go back and forth between wanting children and not wanting them. I like kids and kids seem to love me...I just currently like giving them back at some point.

My fears are: knowing and conducting proper discipline (when needed), having enough time (both to do my things and to take care of children properly), having a handicapped child (my little sister is mentally retarded and a huge burden on my parents...though they love her), and being able to adequately provide for a child (Even though I make enough money).

Some reasons I hear are:
1) Don't you want to see what your child will look like?
2) Children keep you young.
3) Eventually, you won't have anyone to hang out with, because all your friends will be married with children.

I believe these are silly reasons to bring a child into the world. What are the other reasons you have children? Do you feel you have to or is there more?
