Pregnancy & Parenting - 31 January 2007

My Husband and i are trying to have a baby. i got my period on january 28 and i have taken two pregnancy tests that read negative. based on a 28 day cycle my period should have been here on February 26..... so either where is my period or why am i not showing up pregnant? i get a period every month however this is the first time i have ever tracked them by keeping track of specific dates...

Will my labor with my first child be similar to the type of labor my mother had? She was only in labor for 12 hours. I'm hoping I'll be just as fast.

Do you know of any statistical data to back this up?

ok, so like my 2 year old daughter vomited all over my fiances brand new chair, I tried soap and water, but the smell is soooo gross. Its been the sacred chair that is not recommended for anyone to sit in!! even though it was 3 days ago, if you sit in the chair...... you smell like puke the rest of the day!!

Do any of you parents feel like you yell at your kids too much? Do you yell at them and if so, how often do you think you do it.

Sometimes after I yell I feel like Im the worst mother in the world. I do try and talk at her level about most things, but sometimes I just get so frustrated that I "lose my temper" and yell, sometimes about little stupid things that just trip the trigger so to speak.

Any one else feel like this?

By the way, she is 7 years old.

At 10 am this morning they put a prostaglandin gel on my cervix. I was 1 1/2 centmeters and 10% effaced when they did that. Could I expect to go into labor by my self any time. I go back in tomorrow to get the same thing done if no progress. What did they do for you if this happened to you and what happened? Also is it normal to have vaginal pains from this? Thank you!

I feel that I am doing everything correctly :) i went to the doctor this morning, then i went to have lab tests done such as urine and blood and then i made my first pre natal appt for feb 27th since i am only 4 weeks along right now. I am overwhelmed with excitment althought I just called my insurance to see what I will be covering and as of right now I pay $244.00 a month for just me. The first prenatal visit there is a 20$ co pay then the rest are covered 100% BUT the testing and lab fee's and ultra sounds... i have to pay untill i reach my 500 deductable THEN after i reach that i pay 30% they pay 7% till i reach 1500 coinsurance. The even shittier thing is my plan gets renewed in April and I have to start my deductible all over again! Then after all that i have to pay 3000 max for labor and delivery (which as i understand isnt that bad) since hospital bills cost anywhere from 3000 to 30,000! Do you think i am getting ripped off by geisinger health insurance?

wasn't suspended for 18 weeks, i was sentenced to 18 weeks in behavior school and I'm in 7th grade.. but when the principle told me after school that I was going to behavior school and not to bother showing up tommorow, the next day [tommorow] was the beginning of my 18 week sentence to behavior school, right? I didnt have the meeting to find out i was going to behavior school until a week later and i only had a meeting with the dean who then sentenced me to 18 weeks at an alternative.. but my question is the first day i was absence from school due to all of this, was the beginning of my 18 week punishment at an alternative school, right? 10 points

She will not fall asleep in her own bed, if she falls asleep and you put her in her own bed, she will come out of her bed. She does not want to sleep alone.

The nurse said she is too fat and that i have to be carefull about her weight she can develop juvenile diabetes. But she looks normal too me she is a little on the chubby side. But arent chubby babies normal? Do i have to put her on a diet?

I know I have been freaking out about the bottle and wanting dd off of it.( I just hate the bottles and I don't understand why she will chug water out of a sippy but refuses milk.) I tried to do tough love today by only offering her milk in the sippy, but I caved and gave her the bottle. I know I have to be stronger and quit worrying about it. Also, someone asked me today at a little gym class how old dd was and I said just about 14 months. She said "she is not walking" and looked at her and just goes " oh". I wanted to say ...... you. My pedi. isn't concerned she is not walking yet. She cruises everywhere even stand for a few seconds. my other dd walked at 10 months but that was early. People should keep their comments to themselves. Anyways, wish me luck. I now people say I am the parent and it is my decision to take her off the bottle, but it is easier said than done, I think. She may have to go a day or 2 without milk until she realizes it is only coming from the cup. thanks Debbie

My 2 year old son will not sleep in his own room, he is very content laying under mommy while daddy has a attitude every night. We have near to no alone time at night. It has reached the point that once he is alseep we have to venture off to other parts of the house just to be alone. We actually thought it was cute to cuddle up with the "baby" when he was young, but we did not know that it would lead to this, we were fist time parents. Please help me undo this mistake.
