took a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. I keep on having the feeling that my period is going to come on because I know what it feels like but nothing yet! Anyone else been like this before? I do have sex w/ my husband and do not take the pill but we use condoms instead! I know they're not 100% safe but we've never had one that has failed us yet! Anyway, I don't feel sick or anything like that and I have recently just lost some weight through aerobics, so this might have delayed my period.. What do you think?

I don't want to keep on wasting money buying pregnancy tests when yesterday it came up as negative.

What do you think of the name Quinn for a girl?
Only thing is -- our surname starts with that same "K" same sound as Quinn.
I sort of like the sound of it though. Her name would sound something like "Quinn Christoff."
Is that too matchy-matchy? I think its kind of nice.

As far as middle names any suggestions?
"Quinn __________ Christoff"

In regards to my previous question tonight, how much does the average pregnancy and birth cost an american woman?
I am overwhelmed that any woman regardless of her/ her partners income does not get free health care during pregnancy and birth. Its so wrong!
When you do qualify for Medicade though, is it 2nd rate healthcare in your opinion or just as good? Personal experiences?
Friends of mine and I were talking about this, but we realised none of us really knew much at all so that is why I'm asking. (i'm in oz)

My 14 yr old son was 5 minutes late for his 7pm curfew do u think this is a suitable punishment:
he must be diapered 24hrs a day and be treated like a baby..including drinking from a bottle, baby looking clothes when we go out and just a diaper at home, speaking like a baby, must crawl no walking etc.

Ok, This will probaly raise some brows buuut.
I have a friend who just found out she is pregnant. Not only that but more than 2 months along. She is a quite heavy drug user, ranging from I-V drugs like heroin and ketamine, i actually watched her shoot up extasy once. All though she has only done heroin a few times, one was in the months before she knew! I'm seriously worried about this babies condition. How did it even survive all that crazy drug use during the most precious times of its growth. Can anyone tell me what the possible side effects can be? Will this baby be ok?

I was wondering if someone could explain how your medical system works in the US in relation to pregnancy, birth etc...
If you do have health insurance do you still pay some money and how much??? And do you get your own doc etc...
And if you don't have private health insurance what do you do??
What system is better?
Everybody in AUS is entitiled to free health care no matter what but I've heard its a lot more complicated in the states.
Can someone help satisfy my curiousity?
Thanks

my toddler does not like afternoon sleeps everyday. when he is really tired he goes down quickly, but some days he just screams and screams and refuses to sleep. when i get him up he is full of beans!! should toddlers have an afternoon sleep every day or do i just go with his needs? im trying to enforce a routine, so is it worth putting him down if even to scream?

my friend is 18 wks pregnant with her first child. she was not a thin woman, nor a fat one, before she got pregnant. She says that she can SEE baby movement across her belly already. I mean the baby is moving to the point of her husband noticing the baby's sharp and sudden movements. With my first i didnt see movement across the belly like that until my 7th month and 6th months with my second child and I am not fat or even pudgy. has anyone SEEN movement from their baby at 18 weeks or earlier? she says she's been seeing this movement since about 13-14 weeks. personally we think it's twins. but maybe it's just a big baby.

I like to be by myself, and I usually watch tv upstairs in my parents room because I don't like what my parents watch. Well Its really hot up there and when I go downstairs I have really red cheeks... so my mom automaticly thinks I've been "rubbing myself (you know what I'm talking about)" but I haven't and I start to smile and kind of giggle because its funny the look she gives me, and she doesn't stop smiling/staring for a few minutes and watches me wherever she walks. I really am not doing anything but when she does that it makes me nervous so thats why I I kind of smile and laugh because thatsj ust how I am. What do I tell my mom to get her to leave me alone and convince her I'm not doing anything? In my house doing "you know what" to yourself is a bad thing, also I find it pretty gross. Also I get nervous when my mom askes me where I find out some terms like g-spot, pop cherry, etc when I either learn for my friend, girl magazines, or sex ed in 5th grade. So what do I do?!?!

The first time my daughther saw me change my son's diaper she asked me why his bladder is on the outside. i said it's not his bladder it's the sac that holds his seed that when he grows up will go into the mommies egg and make a baby. It just confused her and Now she calls it his egg sac. It was super embarrassing one day when she told another kid "my brother has an egg sac" LOL like he's a spider or something. What funny or embarrasing things have your kids done or said?
