Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 January 2007

I never thought I'd be one to ask a pregnancy question on YA, but... whatever...

My boyfriend and I always use condoms, but I think that I might be pregnant. I have another two weeks or so before i should be really worried. lol. just in time for valentines day...

have any of you gotten pregnant while using birth control?

I was on the pill when I got pregnant with my first son.....heh. weird.

Hello all!! My daughter is 2 yrs old and she gets sick alot. She once had an upper respiratory infection. Well everytime she gets sick, she gets ear infections. I mean I just took her to the doctors 2wks ago and they prescribed her antiobiotics for an ear infection. We live in Florida so the weather is very ify. Some days its 70 degrees and some days its 45 to 50 degrees. Well guess what she is sick again and complaining about her ear.

To get to the point, does anyone recommend the plugs to prevent ear infections? I dont know the medical terminolo

My daughter was told by her doctor that it makes no difference but this is not my experience and I know of several women who have had miscarriages in later years following an abortion. Is there anyone who has had an abortion and later carried successfully full term? Also Where can we read related statistics?

I have 6 bags of size 1 diapers that are not the brand I really like. It would kinda hard for me to have to drag all 6 bags and two small kids to the store to exchange them (hubby in iraq) should I just use them or go to the trouble to exchange them? Has anyone ever used the walmart store brand, white cloud, or luvs? Do they leak on girls?

I have heard you shouldn't tan(tanning bed) while pregnant because of the Rays, but I was wondering if anyone heard that it is okay to tan while pregant? I am going to ask my doctor on my next visit because I assumed you couldn't. But I was reading info on the Tan Co.'s website and it says is is safe to while pregnant, w/ your doctor's consent they will let you. So is it safe or isnt it?

Okay....major confusion about to set in! My last period was Dec 16, 2006. I used an ovulation predictor kit on Dec 30 and 31 to see if i was ovulating....it was a big negative. Checked again on or around Jan 8 and it said I was ovulating. It continued to say that on the 9th and 10th. On the 16th I took a home pregnancy test and it popped positive IMMEDIATELY. No faint lines...just two bright pink lines! Okay, the egg takes 7-9 days to travel to the uterous once it is fertilized, so if i truly ovulated on the 8th, how could it pop positive on the 16th already? I have taken additional tests, and they are positive. Just wanted to pick your brains and see what you all think. Would a preggo test pop positive that quick or do you think the ovulation predictor kit was wrong. I don't see my OBGYN until Feb 26, so I'm curious! Thanks!

I heard pregnant women have crazy dreams, but it never really happened to me until I had this one. I am 31 weeks and I had a dream the other night that my baby was bulging out in the front of my stomach like he was trying to get out. I could see the bulge of his face very distinctly (the lips, forehead, nose, chin, everything—he even opened and closed his mouth). Then he stuck his hands out and I could see the bulge of his hands very distinctly (I saw every little finger and his palms and everything). I started playing with his hands. I put my finger in the palms of his hands and he grabbed on to them. Then he stuck out his foot and I saw the bulge on my stomach. Then slowly more of his leg began to bulge out until his whole leg showed and stuck out in a bulge through my stomach and he started kicking his leg up. I got scared at this point and asked the people around me if it was normal and I told them, “I think I’m going into labor.” Then I woke up.

She has become very bossy and hateful lately. We have tried time out and even resorted to whoopings and nothing is helping. I am expecting another baby in April and I want to get her in control before then.

Our son who is 13 was in town with 3 of his friends last Saturday morning when they saw his geography teacher having a coffee in a restaurant..My son approached him to say say "hello Mr "so ans so" to which my son says he replied "Go away,,and leave me alone". He must have been concerned by his reaction, as are we, to mention this to us..My wife and I are confused to how to approach this...whether to forget about it and let it go?....have a meeting with the teacher concerned, How would you approach this situation?
Our son is very polite, confident, and popular at his school.
Pl;ease help

There is some really serious stuff that can happen to you with the epidural. That's really why I can't decide if I want it or not. I heard that the doctor gets you to sign a form stating that if you are paralyzed they would not be held responsible. IS THIS TRUE??? If it is, that is awful and not something I want to get involved in. I am so confused. I don't want to be to tired or in pain so much that I won't be able to enjoy my first baby girl. Lord Help!!

Would you tell your children if they were accidents? My mom told me I was an accident. I don't think it depresses me or anything but sometimes I think, wow I wasn't really wanted. Is ignorance, bliss?

I am pregnant with my second child and this baby as well as my first was not planned (I do everything backwards what can I say?)
I was debating if I would ever tell them that.

I was just wondering moms views on this

And spare me comments about my unplanned pregnancies. I am in a loving relationship, just got married 3 months ago and I am happy about life's little "oops"
