Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 February 2007

I am not thinking of having sex any time soon but am worried about when I do. What do you do for the first time. I mean I know what you do I just don't know exactly what to do. How was your first time?

A few weeks ago my Fiance and I had unprotected sex so the next morning I bought the morning after pill and took it. Then (silly me) the next night we had unprotected sex again and I did not take the pill again. I was supposed to start my period on the 1st and have not started it yet. My stomach has hurt a little bit lately and I am very very irretiable (I've been catching an attitude very easyly lately). The thing is I have never had a regular period and we have one child as it is. I'm not asking for a doctors answer but just people's opinion. I can not take birth control pills because they make me sick. I wouldn't want to get pregnant because I wouldn't know which time I would have concieved and I wouldn't have wanted the morning after pill to affect the babies health.

I am just watching a programme on channel 4 (uk) about a 12 year old and a 9 yr old having to look after their 4 younger brothers as both of their parents are blind, i am totally disgusted at what i am seeing as these 2 girls do pratically everything, the house is filthy and the children are also filthy as if they dont get bathed the youngest is about 10 months old maybe younger, their food is take aways as the parents cannot cook, these poor girls also have to juggle an education, but what i dont understand is why on earth have the social workers not got involved, normally i would want so much for children to be with their parents but in this case they are not being well cared for, what makes things worse is the mother is again pregnant and the reason the parents want a large family is so that they have got more people to help when they are older. I think that they are very very selfish and that something needs to be done so that these children can have a life.

I have tried full bore with her and then she ended up doing a complete 180 and start playing with anything in the diaper and then ripping it up. Then it took me 6 mths to get her to stop. Now i know she can tell when its time to go because she can go all day when she is at my moms staying dry and clean, but when she is home she will not tell me like she does grandma. Any suggestions???

Also with my 2 year old son, should i try to get him to start? Or should I just let him get a little older first? He's the baby and doesn't want to even sit on the trainer pot or sit on the commode. But if he is wet or dirty he wants to be changed.

I want to get him to start and her to be potty trained. I don't want me to be the one who gets trained!!!

someone i know just had a baby the other day. she claims she didnt know she was pregnant. i find this really hard to believe. how can you not know you are pregnant. even if you are over weight you would be able to tell something was different or feel the baby moving. i find this really disturbing. my husband thinks im being to judgemental, but to me there is something seriously wrong! i personally can't wait to get pregnant (currently trying) and cant imagine denieing i was or lying about it. just wondering if anyone else has heard of this happening before and what the outcome was? thanks :o)

Koen Gerald Timothy
Coen Gerlad Timothy
Cohyn Gerald Timothy
Cohn Gerald Timothy

(the 2 middle names are very important name sakes and i do want them in that order because of the people they represent).

I don't like Cohen or Cowyn because they have farm animlas in those spellings....

Right now I am on a pretty strict diet and and have lost 20 lbs, I have 30 more to go and then I want to let my body "settle" for about six months before trying to get pregnant again. Ideally I would like to start ttc in October. I have been using withdrawal and natural family planning for the past 10 years and have never had a problem until recently. I had a miscarriage at the end of november and now I am worried about getting pregnant using just those methods. Any advice?

My friends think I am crazy because I am 12 weeks pregnant and only our family knows I am pregnant. My friends all told everyone when they were 5-8 weeks along.

I haven’t told my friends, my co-workers or boss. The pregnancy doesn’t affect my job and I feel I should tell everyone when I am ready. I don’t want to announce it until I am almost 5 months just because I don’t want the attention and I want to make sure everything is okay with the baby. We are not trying to keep it a secret, but this is my husband’s and my first baby so it’s private for us.

Is it okay to wait until I am 4-5 months to announce my pregnancy to friends and co-workers?

How far along were you?

I really don't know if i'm pregnant or not. I had gotten my period last month, but ever since last week i have been bleading slightly and its not my period for another 2 weeks. I read online that, "Some women experience a small amount of spotting or bleeding very early in pregnancy, about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. Known as implantation bleeding, it happens when the fertilized egg first attaches to the lining of the uterus. This type of bleeding is usually a bit earlier, spottier and lighter in color than a usual period and doesn't last long." I'm not sure if this is what i have or not... me and my boyfriend have sex about twice a week, but i'm on birth control. Somtimes i'm not always percise about the time i take it at but i'm never more then 2 hours late, and that barely ever happens. Do you think i'm pregnant?...

My little girl just started on simple table foods such as zwieback toast and biter biscuits and now she won't take jarred baby food anymore, she spits it out. I can't get her to eat anymore unless it's something she can feed herself, which isn't much. Is this just a phase? I'm concerned that she's not going to be getting much to eat that way.
