Should you call the doctor immediately or wait a while? What is the earliest they will do an ultrasound?

And what usually happens at the first appointment?

I just started tracking my temperature for ovulation. My question is, will my temperature still rise and fall without ovulation. I don't remember seeing the stringy egg white constincy mucous and I am a little worried about not ovulating. I have seen the doctor and she said its a possibility. Doing other tests at the moment to check me out.

So I am still breast feeding my 18 month old toddler girl who is a bad eater. She tries and likes some table foods but mommy's milk seems to be the best.
I weigh 106lbs at 5'3" now. Is that still ok? Before my pregnancy I used to weigh 128lbs and ever since her delivery I'm constantly losing even though I eat A LOT lol.
My thyroid is ok.

Well, my fiance and i have been trying for like 2 months now.. i took a test about 2 weeks ago and it was negative. took one this morning, positive. I SWORE I was about to start my period..(boobs sore like always and crampy) and wow, i'm so used to seeing the negative that this seems impossible. I'm probably going through the "disbelief" phase..in fact, I'm at work right now and told my fiance to buy 2 more tests for when i get home. I took aspirin last night, that wouldn't make a difference would it? it says on the box "painkillers, contraceptives and other common medications do not affect test results"...so my question is, how likely is it that the test is wrong? I'm in complete disbelief right now but excited at the same time. The second line on the Pregnancy test was very obvious and it was a cheap $1 test from Dollar General. For those of you wondering, we're getting married within a month or two :) thanks for any help!!! :)

I found out that my 12 year old son was looking for porn on the internet. There were about 20 different searches in the google history. He was very embarrassed when I confronted him about it. I know that kids his age are curious, but I just don't know what to say to him so as not to make him feel ashamed about his curiosity. This is the second time he has done this. The first being a few months ago. I bought a couple of books for kids about sex that I bought for him in case it came up again and I just gave them to him after we talked about it, but I feel like he should talk to someone. He says that it is embarrassing and doesn't want to talk to my husband or his grandfather about it. I told him that the computer is completely off limits for the rest of the year unless it is school related and I am with him. The computer is in a high traffic area of the house and he was doing this when I wasn't home. I don't want to make a bigger deal out of this than it is. Any thoughts?

I am pregnant 33 weeks with our second baby (it's a boy!) We have a 2 yr old daughter already.
Would it be weird for me to give her breastmilk whilst I am feeding our son? I dont mean let her breastfeed ..I mean if I pumped and gave it to her in a glass (if she wanted it, of course) I was only able to breastfeed her for about 3 weeks due to health problems (that I hope I dont have this time).. I know she got the colstrum(sp?)..
I just think she might want to have some of the milk for the sake of being like her little brother... Is that wierd?

18 weeks

I have to wait till Nov. 6th to have my next ultrasound to find out what I'm have, but I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and they couldn't see a penis but the placenta was squished up to the babies butt so the couldn't get a straight on view looking up in between the legs. So do you think they would have seen something between its legs at 16 weeks if it was a boy? I don't know I just can't wait to find out and I posted a picture of my belly at 18 weeks so tell me what your first gut reaction is.

How soon after giving birth do you need to start using contraception? Im breastfeeding as well and i've been told this delays ovulation. I don't want another baby yet, but still undecided on long term contraception choice.

Our 2 year old has his own room. My wife and I are arguing about this....Should he be allowed to put his toys in whatever toy bin he wants to as long as it is in his toy bins ( All the toys mixed up), when we tell him it's time to clean up his room? Or should we the parents, have places for his toys to stay organized? Stuffed animals in this bin, legos in that bin, big cars on the bottom shelf, etc.

please read this carefully and tell me your views a friend of mine had confinded in me by telling me that she was going to have to terminate her baby... shes 6 weeks gone and that was a decision made between her and her man, they have 2 children and the youngest one is only a few months old, its not like they were being careless they were careful and had a coil fitted in but still managed to get pregnant. her reason was because she cannot afford it and her kids are too young! any way she wanted to say something to her mum but didnt want to say she terminated, so she came up with this that she found out she miscarried but there were bits left in her stomach and so she was given an appointment for 2 weeks later to clean her out, my question was does this sound believeble to you?? I am not judging her and neither should you shes a fantastic mum and she feels really bad about this, i just wanna do my part and be a friend in need.. can you help!

My problem is that its my boyfriend's first son and he wants to name our son after him because he too was named after his father. I don't want to seem selfish or anything because I know its a joint decision but I really would love to name my son something else. What should I do?
The two options are:
1. Harry Richard Diggs IV
or
2. Dhani Richard Diggs
Please Help!

I often hear it said that instead of infant adoption taking place, birthmothers should be encouraged to parent their children first to see if they can do it. The same people very often also advocate for foster to adopt, or at least foster care.
Ok, two questions.
1) Where do you think the children in foster care have come from? They are the result of people thinking they could be parents, but couldn't.
2) How many chances do you think a person is reasonably entitled to decide if they can be a parent? Do you really consider it fair to a child to disrupt their lives and attatchments for as long as necessary until a woman decides she wants to be a mother?

Hey everyone.. I'm eight months pregnant due November 20 and I was just wondering if I could cut my own babies umbilical cord? The father is over seas and I wanted to do something like that so would there be any possible way that I would be able to do that?

I was given the duty of naming our child if it was a boy and my wife would name the baby if it was a girl. On Oct. 23, 2007 we had a handsome baby boy. I chose the name Phoenix Alexander followed by our last name. Keep in mind, I am 47 years old and by no means a modern day parent. The name just came to me and I felt it was somewhat unique without being crazy. I have had positive feedback on the name so far. Any thoughts from the internet world?

I am 30 weeks preggers and this is my second child. With my first child i had severe pre eclampsia ( high blood pressure and major distress to the baby) I had seen 3 dr. and 2 midwives right up to the day she was born they told me i was fine nothing wrong. That night after my appointment i went to the hospital anyway (baby wasnt moving ) they found her heart enlarged liver and kidneys failing and half a placenta left. Needless to say it was a miracle both survived. Oh the catch was i had no symptoms with a bp of 160/90 and rising fast just she wasnt moving. That was all at 34 weeks im freaking out cause im getting there soon and wanna know if there is any other symptom then high blood pressure at that point its almost to late. So if this has happened to you or you know anything please help me.
