This is just a question to attract attention to the matter. I've recently found out I am pregnant, and shocked as I was, I rushed to the doctor. Had a test done and it said I was 6 to 7 weeks gone. Fair enough, were it not that 7 weeks prior to that test, I was going out with someone different, who not soon after broke up with me. I had asked the doctor to give me a specific date of conception because this is obviously very important for me to find out who exactly the father is. She assured me it would be from conception.
So the next day she phoned me with the news. I nearly went to tell my ex he was going to be a father until I did some further research on hCG levels and such. I calculated backwards as much as I could to figure out for myself how far gone I was. Turns out the father is someone completely different.

Now, why can't they just calculate from the conception date on? And WHY do doctors feel the need to add another 2 weeks to the date, apart from it being the last period

I am excited about getting pregnant, but I am not sure if I am yet. My guy and I tried a couple of days before my ovulation day for a baby and that was a couple of weeks ago. Since then, more recently this week, I have been extremely tired. This morning I woke up with cramps that felt like I was about to start my period, but I didn't. I have had a little bit of a backache and my cramps are low intensity and have been persisting throughout the day. I had a quick hot dog before heading off to work, but due to a bit of nausea I threw it up less than 45 min. later. I don't want to hype myself up about being pregnant, but I can't help but think about it. Did anyone else have these symptoms? My period is due on the 16th of Jan, when is the soonest I can test? What are the chances I could be pregnant?

How often do you clean? I feel that their level should be spotless, therefore I vacuum daily and go through toys and wipe the plastic down with Clorox wipes daily,dust her room and change her sheets every other day. My husband feels that this is a bit much. What say you??

My daugher still wears pullups at night and I guess her friend called her diaper head... My daughter was quite hurt. I didn't hear it. My daughter is 7 and didn't know what to do.. I am trying to teach her that it is good to tell people when they cross the line. So I told her I would call the mom this time (to show her how to work conflicts out)... I called the mom and was very nice and said 'my daughter said this.. my daughter is really self concious about it and had hurt feeligns.. etc'. I asked her to talk to her daughter and explain that nothing is wrong with my daughter and she doesn't want to be called that.. etc. I kept it very upbeat and said 'no hard feelings, I just wanted to clear the air, so we can all go forward from here"... Did I do ok... would you be offended if I called you because of something my daughter said...?

My cousin is having her baby shower in 3 weeks. I already got her some little booties for the baby. What else should I get? I've thought about an outfit for the baby and a pampering set for her. She's only 15 so I don't know what would be appropriate.

I don't drink, but I know that a "tom collins" is a cocktail. How common is it? How much would my son get teased for sharing his name with an alchoholic drink?

So, should I just keep ttc or have the procedure. I am so confused on what to do..............any advice??

My boyfriend and I are babysitting my 4 1/2 month old niece this whole weekend. It is supposed to be nice weather and we will have the stroller....so I know walks would be good and showing her things outside, but what other activities are fun for them at that age?
Trying to choose my words very carefully...she does not do many activities on a daily basis at home, is mostly put in her baby seat. I have noticed other times when I babysit she seems to be overstimulated and get fussy since she is not used to recieving as much attention as she gets with us. I don't want a fussy baby all weekend, but want to teach her things, show her things, and let her have fun......any ideas??


Im so excited to be able to spend time with her and want to make this an enjoyable 'vacation' for her, I appreciate everyones help!
