i have been having 31 day cycles for the past few months.. my last period started on May 13th and ended May 17th... my partner and i had sex on June 1st and 2nd, and we tried the pull-out method (i know- not dependable) but it wasnt exactly successful... he came inside of me a little bit... so im just wondering..is pregnancy even possible? ..i think i would have ovulated a couple days earlier than the days we had sex, but im not sure? ....help?

oh and p.s.-- please dont lecture me on birth control and how stupid it is to use the pull-out method... if i were to get pregnant, we would be happy to have a baby together. we arent aiming for conception, but we just arent avoiding it either..

please just help me answer my question?

thanks...

Okay, so my son is 23 months, I know he should have been off the bottle for a while now, but he only took one for bedtime, well, I am having the worst time with it. I give him a sippy cup, with just a little milk, and he doesn't want anything to do with it, he throws it out of his bed, and he screams. Its not just regular whiney behavior at bedtime now, he screams and cries so bad, that it makes me just want to give him his bottle. Does anyone have any tips on how I can get him off the bottle, maybe I am doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated!

I'm 38 weeks and 2 days today. I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow. My due date is June 16th, about 12 days away. I'm so incredibly uncomfortable! My ribs feel like they are all broken in half! I'm going to ask my doctor to set an inducement date tomorrow, I'm just wondering if anyone has been induced early and if they will induce you before your due date. (I have a friend that gave birth in February and she was induced at 38 weeks, no prenatal complications at all, her pregnancy was not high risk at all).

I work in the stock room at a department store (some lifting, lots of bending, reaching, unpacking boxes) and it's getting to be a real stress on me because the job is so strenuous. The leg cramps, back pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and my stomach hurts like hell when I'm standing those long hours. I already have been in one accident at work and fell into a rack back first (I went to the doctor and he found a small lump from the accident so he cut my hours for the next two weeks.) I also have had two asthma attacks on the job. The job that I'm working is a temp job. I sew/design things in my spare time to make more cash flow and it's going really well.

Now the question is, when should I leave my job and focus more on this pregnancy? I was thinking maybe at 32 - 35 weeks? Could anyone give me some advice on when I should stop working? My fiance said that I can quit if it's too much on me since he has a job, but I don't want to be dependent on him and make him work even more. :(

I really wanted to give vaginal birth but was unable to because my son was too large. I have been told that after you have a C it is recommended to have another C, but I really want to experience giving vaginal birth. Has anyone had a c-sec for their first child then gave vaginal birth for their second? Is there big risk in that? I know the convenience of being able to schedule the exact day to deliver, but I hated not being able to hold my son right after I had him and I really want to breast feed this time and would like to do so right after it is born. The nurses went against my request when my son was born and gave him formula while I was in recovery after my c-section and I was very upset because he would not take to my breast after that. Is this a valid question or am I just being neurotic?

My daughter has had her ears pierced since she was 2 months old. She is now 5 months. I think it is the absolute cutest to see baby girls wearing hoops. Is 5 months too early to let her wear them? What was the earliest you let your daughter wear hoops?
Oh and im talking about the small ones. Small enough where she cant pull them out or get them caught. We have had no problems what so ever with the studs she has now she never touches them and they have never caught.

Cramping since 10 last night or so. Sometimes, just constant Braxton Hicks. Aren't they supposed to lighten up and stop... not just go on and on for 14 hours? Don't think it's labour cause I am not doubled over in pain and after 12 hours, they still aren't painful enough to make me stop what I'm doing for more than 5 seconds.

70 percent effaced and 3 centimeters dilated. I drank castor oil for my first and it worked just fine. I drank some last night and it gave me very strong contractions (didnt even get any diarrhea or anything and I was fully hydrated) - The contractions were five minutes apart at 1am when I got there. I was there all morning and they were literally not even a minute apart and they got STRONGER...they checked me to see if anything changed with my cervix and it didnt. So they had me walk for an hour - that didnt change anything either. The contractions continued to be very strong...when I got home at 7AM I rested until 1PM (now) and the contractions arent very much and they dont hurt as bad as they did. Whats going on? At the hospital they said that I am probably in early labor and will more than likely see me back tonight, and now they are altogether pretty much gone...???

I'm going to be nannying for 2 four year olds (boy and girl) (not twins, different marriages) and a 7 yr old(boy) from about 5 am to 6 or 7 pm. My main experience with children has been 2 to 3 year olds and infants! What do kids this age like to play with? To do? What are they capable of? I'd like some inexpensive imagination powered toy suggestions. Board games? Blocks? Help!

My doctor said that it was ok to try to induce, but sex hurts. Walking is making me dialate, but does dialating break my water? What are some other ways to induce? Tea is not working and neither is spicy food. What are some bad things and good things that come with castor oil? I've read some people it works like a charm.

I am 37 weeks and 4 days and the doctor just examined my cirvex and I am not dialted at all :( I've had some pretty strong contractions here and there but obviously nothing too serious. Also the baby has dropped and she said the head was very low. Is there anything that I can do to help this move along faster? Thanks in advance!

My daughter and I are moving (I'm a single Mom). I love the daycare that she's in now. I will be visiting several daycare centers in the new town in a couple of weeks. What in your expertise and opinion makes a good daycare. Should I weigh my decision on how many stars the facility has? I really want to find a place where we will both be happy and so I won't have to switch daycares on her again.

Thanks!

I had my son in March 07 and since the day he was born, my MIL went out of her way to do everything and do it her way. It took my fiance almost 2 mo's to say something to her and when he did she got an attitude and became jealous of my relationship with my son. Soon, mother's day rolled around and she became upset because I spent the whole day with my son, later telling me that I was wrong(?). Now she has started back in her old ways doing things I asked her not to (listed below) and annoying the hell out of me. I'm tired of talking to my fiance b/c it is obvious that he is scared of her and it will take another 2 mo's before he does. I'm seeing that talking does not work, b/c she doesn't know how to take criticism and she thinks she has some kind of right to act out. Should I show her how she acts by acting the same way she does, or just leavce it alone. Give me some ideas, b/c it STOPS the next time she visits.

Since I've last had sex (about 5-6 wks ago) my body has been acting really strange. My breasts have become sore and firmer i've been having constant stomach aches, vomiting, more frequent urinary and bowel movements and been really tired. I don't know if i'm really pregnant or it's just my mind playing tricks on me. I'm kinda hoping I am though! :D

So what do you guys think?
