Pregnancy & Parenting - 11 July 2007

Hello, I have four kids ages 15, 10, 10,and 7 and recently divorced. Lately for the past few months, hes been acting very strange, a few weeks ago he pushed me agiant the wall, today he started repeatingly slapping me and punched me. I noticed he was in a bad mood, so I asked whats wrong. He siad, "leave me the F alone", I said watch your language. He slapped and punched me about 4 or 5 times. ans he said, shut up b**.

I cried so long, it happened a few hours ago.

He doesn't wnat me to tell his father because he said he doesn't wnat to get spankd or beat. I just found out that his father lives around my neighborhood when he abandoned us several years ago.

I married a man with a 9 year old daughter who has always been allowed to eat what she wants for dinner. She eats a lot of fast food and other junky food. My children had to eat what the family was having for dinner. I don't believe in cooking or serving something special for one child. My youngest is now 17 and eats a healthy meal at every dinner. I don't feel that it is fair to myself or to my 17 year old to allow the 9 year old to have a different dinner. She is with us 50% of the time. While I don't want her to not like coming to her dads house 50% of the time, after raising 3 kids of my own I'm not willing to be controled by this only child. If we eat what she wants when she is with us, it is more junk than my daughter and I can handle. Eating pizza, McD's etc...once in awhile is o.k. but not half of your week. I always try to include at least one thing that she likes at dinner but, her list of acceptable food is so short I have a hard time. How can I make dinner more peaceful?

Well, My son's 1st birthday is coming up and I am buying him a Radio Flyer Red Wagon so I thought it would be neat to have his theme be "Little Red Wagon" but I can not find a birthday cake anywhere that is a red wagon!! Anyone know where I can find a birthday cake shaped like a "Little Red Wagon?!?

Then they did the blood test and also came back negative. They said to come back in five days and test again. Could I be pregnant? My breasts are tender, I've been crampy, I'm tired, emotional, nautious at times, and my belly looks pregnant and bloated. I'm worried, about 6 months I had a ectopic pregnancy . I just want to know what is going on with my body!

I have read that it is a simlar level of pain? Is that true?

I have had gallstones and while they hurt VERY bad, and I could not get comfortable in any position, they were not unbearable, well OK they felt like they were, but I did bear them!

If having a baby is like that I might be able to really honestly consider natural childbirth...

My sister has always had a urine test at the doctors to see if she was pregnant. This was the same for her 3 children. Now on her 4th she has to have a blood test. Why is this? Is it because blood tests are the new thing and can determine results quicker.

I hate that they put them out right away but they are also sold out right away!
Also do you buy your kids a whole new wardrobe?

Ok, I am married - and use BC (Loestrin) as my only BC. I didn't miss ANY PILLS and I took them on time (within a few hours every day)....... Anyway, for the first time EVER - my period is about 10 days late. I took a PT at 3 days late, then I took one at 6 days late. Both were NEGATIVE. However, I was recently trying to cold turkey my Anti-Depressant (Cymbalta) because I wasn't feeling patient enough to wait for my Dr to get back from vacation and "wein" me off of them. I only managed to go without for two days before I decided to stay on track with them and wait for Dr to guide me. So, here I am wondering how my period could possibly be late when I FAITHFULLY take my PILLS. On the same note, appx 6 weeks ago, (when I had my Annual done) I had my Dr switch me to the Loestrin from a diff BC pill (Yazmin)....... But I've taken Loestrin before so I suppose my quesiton is THIS.......

Should I waste another $20 on a couple more Prg Tests??? Or just start another pack and make an appt?

I've decided I am no longer doing OPK's...trying to do things a bit more naturally. What a bad month to decide this because I am so confused.

I still track CM. AF ended CD 6. ON CD 9 (only just before bed) I had a small amount of dry sticky CM. The afternoon of CD 10 I had a TON TON TON of EWCM (I guess I skipped the lotiony stage?), then by today, CD 11, I have almost no CM left...it is still a bit moist by my cervix but that's it.

So it sounds like I had 4 stages of CM in a matter of 60 hours...and started my cycle early (I normall don't ovulate until Cd 12 or 13). Do you think that I ovulated or was this some sort of fluke?

Why would I O so early and why in the world would it all go so quickly? I mean, I barely had enought time to notice I had EWCM before I was dry(ing) again?!?!

Is this somethingt o be concerned about or could it just be a normal (abnormal) cycle? We did the BD both days just to be sure (CD 9 & 10), so I guess I will wait and see.

The same idea as fraternal twins, two separate ova, each fertilized by a diffrent man's sperm at about the same time. (the woman would have to have multible partners at about the same time)

Do you think its a good idea to start buying baby formula before the baby is born? Its one of thoughs things that is going to add up and i thought getting a head start would be extremtly helpful money-wise. My only worry is that she wont like or tolerate the brand or type we buy and everything will be wasted. We switched our now 4yr old sons formula at like 4-5 months so i guess thats why im not sure if i should just wait till shes born or go ahead and buy some and maybe try to return the rest of the unused ones if she doesnt tolerate it? any tips from other moms?
