Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 December 2006

I am a mother of five kids ranging from 14 to 1 and my husband has three kids from a previous marriage they are 17 20 and 21. During the holidays the 17yr old came and stayed with us and she brought her boyfriend(18) with her.I get on really well with her and it was lovely to have them to stay especially for my husband but he thought it was normal for them to stay in the same room.They stayed for four nights and i know for a fact that they had sex under our roof which makes me feel uncomfortable.When I approached my husband he said that I was being too conservative and failed to see the difference between us having sex with the kids in the house and my step daughter and her boyfriend having sex.I just felt we were setting a bad example for the younger kids especially the 12&14yr old who are at extremely impressionable ages.It is also a respect issue for me.Was I being too conservative?Do you think my kids even noticed an unmarried couple sleeping in the same room is strange?

A girl name that goes with Donatello, Raphael, Dimitri, Gabrielle, MArc-antony
Like those names I think they are midevil But we need them in girl name form. That is why we said Dominique
Also like Tatyana, Simmone, and Gabrielle but we know there has got to be more names out there that are in the same grouping midevil, Russian or something?

Please Help

My 4 year old son still has to wear pull ups at night and rarely wakes up with a dry one. How can I train him to wake up at night? We do not give him any liquids after 7 p.m. and even wake him up around 10-11 p.m. to potty before we go to bed. We also wake him early int he morning and march straight to the restroom. Poor baby! Some nights are better than others, but I am worried that this might be a habit that will be embarrasing and hard to break as he gets older! Please help!!!

I had to have and episiotomy with my first baby and she wasnt even big. She was only 7lbs at birth. They had to cut me on the bottom and a little on the top. Does this mean I am probably going to have to have another one with this baby?

I have a 3 year old son and 18 month old daughter. My husband and I don't parade around the house naked but we don't make a big deal out of it when we are getting dressed or in the shower. We want our kids to feel comfortable with their bodies .

i had my period on november 5th. i found out i was pregnant on december 1st. (so i guess that made me roughly 4 weeks pregnant.) yesterday (dec 29th) i was supposed to be 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant but i had an ultrasound and it said i was 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

i've heard of embryo's that stopped growing but the mother hadn't miscarried them yet. do you think this could be the case with me? or is my baby developing really slowly. my HCG levels were normal for being 6 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

i know i have asked this before and sorry for those who answered.

can fertlilty monitors give you a fertile reading if you are pregnant as it picks up the hormones that are present in both ovulation and pregnancy?

its just that i had my period on the 1st of november my monitor gave me a peak and we did the deed at the right time. the day my period was due came and went and after being 14 days late (the 10th dec) i experienced spotting for 4 days which i though was my period. prior to this all tests i did were negative.

i set my monitor to cd1 and i continued using this and ovulation tests. i got a positive on ovulation test on cd5 and since cd8 i have been getting a high reading but no peak. my friend said as i only had spotting and not a proper period i am still on my last cycle and she reckons i'm pregnant and the reason i got a positive ovulation test and high on my monitor is because they detect the same hormones in pregnancy.
what do you all reckon. no smart answers plz
