Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 January 2007

My last period was on december 20, I had sex around the time of ovulation, and the week after ovulation I started getting discomfort in my lower abdomen like if I was about to get my period, I had all the symptoms and I remember thinking that it was too early to get my period again. This went away and then came back stronger during the time I should be getting my period, I was supposed to get period Jan. 13 and now it is 2 days after and nothing. I have noticed a strong odor coming from my underarms and this is weird because iI ahve never had a problem with that, I do feel cold all the time. Any suggestions would be great

Suggestions about titles needed, think about words or phrases that would inspire you to purchase the book, keeping in mind that this is a book for parents to find comfort in, show them that they are not alone, give guidance and info. But also light-hearted with a hint of humour. "What about Chasing Diaper Angels?" "Little Footprints? No Worries" please as many ideas as you can think of

I am unwed and 33 weeks pregnant, Although I was on birth control and I was taking it properly, I ended up pregnant. But I have noticed so many couples having children before marriage. Do they plan it this way? Just curious. Or is it more of an accident, or irresponsiblity. I dont see anything wrong with it, I just see almost a trend...for lack of a better term.

I have moderate insomnia, and I usually take something to sleep. Valerian on normal nights, unisom on worse ones, and ambien for the really bad nights. Are any of these allowed in early pregnancy? I'll ask my doctor when I see her next week, but in the meantime, I'd like to get some sleep...

My boyfriend was beat up at a young age and kicked over and over in his testicles. Now we've been trying to get pregnant for about 6 months and nothing's happening. I have a child from a previous engagement and I was even on the pill at the time of conception. He has it in his head that he can't get me pregant. Is is possible that he has 0 sperm? Or maybe just a low sperm count and then maybe we have other options/ways of getting me pregnant. He doesn't want to go to the doctor and find out that he's unable to have kids.

My 6 month old little princess does not have her ears pierced. I do not want to do it until she asks for it herself. My reasons are that it is not MY right to put holes in her skin without her consent and I also look forward to her excitement and beautiful smile when she is old enough and decides to do it herself.

Her mom and her entire family insisit we do it now. We argue about it all the time and they have actually told me one day I will come home and it will be done. The mom and I are not married, can she legally do this? If they did would I be overreacting by being angry...which I would be? Any advice is greatly appreciated...the enemy could strike any day while I am at work... PLEASE NO TEENY BOPPERS ANSWERING THIS QUESTION... I NEED ADULTS WHO MAY HAVE HAD THIS SAME EXPERIENCE OR KNOW "LEGAL" RIGHTS IN THIS SITUATION. Yes, it is that serious to me.

Would you liek to see a book about parenting that covers most of the basics of parenting, such as how to keep your sanity etc, as well as a detailed section about childhood health and illnesses including photo's and symptoms lists? Or would the health part be better in a seperate volume like a sequel?

My 9 mth old only needs the pacifier at night and during naps to sleep. She often loses it and wakes up crying every hour or so. I am constantly having to get up and plug her back in. I would be fine with her having it until about a year if shesatyed asleep but she doesn't. Any ideas on how to wean her from it? I m not sure about doing it cold turkey since shes so young. Thanks

I've heard that a blood test can determine pregnancy 7 days after conception. Is this true?

OK, I'm NOT complaining, but my 1 week old will sleep for 6 hours at night. Is this OK? She eats about 2 ounces, is awake for about an hour, then dozes off. During the day, she'll eat every 2-3 hours, but I'm just concerned about the stretch at night. We have a Dr's appointment later this week, but you know how it is.....I just wondered if anyone else has had this with their little one.

Thanks!
