The last time I had my period was around Dec.5 so that means I'm due to have my next one Jan.1. But I had unprotected sex last Dec.22 and I took a pregnancy test last Jan.12 and it gave a negative result. I have an irregular period and now that I'm delayed, I'm really worried that I might be pregnant because I can't be pregnant yet.What do I do now?

ps. im just 18..

If it helps any we live in Austin, TX. She has a party every year and I am running out of ideas. Plus now she has a lot more friends that she wants to invite. Last year we had her party at Toys R US (yes, they have parties) the previous year we had a slumber party (will not do again the girls were out of control and decided to have a cake fight on my new carpet) the year before that we had a party at our home and had a clown come and had a pinata. We have done Chuck E. Cheese (she says that now she is too old to have a party there) and parks in the past. I suggested skating or ice skating but she did not like that. I just have no idea what to do to not spend a fortune, not have it at my home and let her invite as many children as she likes. Any ideas you have I will greatly appreciate. Thanks :)

The girls are developmentally on track and have been using the potty chairs on-and-off for a couple of months now. They can tell us when they need to go, but now that we've actually started being consistent with sitting them down every hour, they don't go. Then they will go five minutes later in their pants. We've just started being more regimented in our routine this weekend, so is this normal? Any other tips? Thanks!

If so, how long was your baby in NICU, and what were they treated for?

Thanks for answering - not sure when I am going to go but it could be any time now. If I make it to 34 weeks this Saturday then my ob says we will not stop the labor!

My son has been thowing up half the night but isn't running a fever at all, in fact his temp is rather low. Is there anything I can do for him? If it continues obviously I'll take him into the emergency room but at this point I don't think that's necessary.

baby is 3 1/2 months old and very attatched to mother. Baby is being breast fed. When left alone she cries and seems to fight sleep. Wife says she MUST pick her up when crying because if she doesn't, she will turn blue because she cries so hard. I thought it was best to let them just cry, but am I wrong?

I should first mention that my husband and I are expecting our first child and trying to repair the damage (we're both guilty of!) in our marriage. But, my mother in-law keeps wanting to interfere! My husband is an only child (which makes life so much fun!). She wants to know everything on our finances, our budget, you name it! Also, everytime she has a chance to speak with me, she keeps telling me how the baby will most likely look like my husband and her. How can you tell what the baby will look like from the ultra-sound?? Its like she trying to discredit my DNA compleatly!
Also, my mom is throwing me a baby shower. Its been planned since October, now my mother in-law (who said she wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SHOWER) is all upset and pissy because she is not the one hosting it! She is even telling all of her friends and family members my husband and my personal issues!
My shower is next week, and I'm really not looking forward to dealing with her! HELP

My bf is in jail now and gets out at the end of Feb. What kinds of things can he do to bond with our son (he'll be about 6.5 mo's old then) when he gets out? Will he know his voice from in the womb? Will he have a hard time accepting new people then?
Any advice, thanks so much

I went to my OB/GYN on Friday and he said the next test I would have is between 11 and 13 weeks (I just turned 10 weeks on Saturday) and it's completely elective. It's called an ultrascreen. It's just like an ultrasound, but they would measure the fat around the baby's neck (I didn't even know they could do that so soon), to test for Down's syndrome. I guess a thicker neck is a sign. The doctor said that all the women that go to that office are given that option (I'm 25 years old and don't have anyone in mine or my husband's family that have Down's syndrome, so I'm not really at risk for it). My husband said if the insurance covers it, to do it, and if it's positive, we can prepare ourselves better before the baby's born. I never was asked if I wanted it done with my first pregnancy and I wondered how many mothers out there would want to have this scan done or who have had it done and what the outcomes were.
