Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 November 2007

Not a question just need some baby dust!...I am 13DPO now..I took my OPK results out of FF and it moved my O date to CD18 instead of CD16. So according to that AF is due today instead of Nov 6 and so far nothing. Not even spotting which I usually get the day before. My temps are still up and Im still having the clear lotiony CM. I tested early several days last week hoping I could be one of those women who get an early BFP but got a bunch of negatives..Now Im scared to test! I think I going to wait till Sat morning Ill give AF another day to make a late entrance..I will be 15DPO then...If I am preggo I should definitely get a positive then shouldnt I? I am trying to keep my mind off if it and until now was doing a good job! : ) Sorry so long! Here is my chart

I'm 36 years old and soon to be a first time Father. My wife and I have been married for under a year and I want to learn as much as possible to minimize mistakes. Personally, I hate modern, overbearing, over protective parents where the kids end up spoiled, disrespectul, obese, whiney brats on prozac. I'm not for or against spanking. They don't have to wear helmets while riding a bike if they don't WANT TO. They don't AUTOMATICALLY make the baseball team. I'm not trying to raise the next Bill Gates or Tiger Woods. I just want to raise a good "old fashioned" kid who is respectful, well mannered . . . AND PLAYS OUTSIDE !!! Are there any books that will help me achieve this ???

I don't want to hear from candy-*** parents who berate me about the helmet thing either !!!

I'm 14 and my boyfriends 17. He's not a virgin and I am, he's never pushed me into doing anything though and I know he wont. I just feel weird about him not being a virgin. Kind of scared I guess that I'm not going to do something right. Is this normal?

Today I went to have my first ultrasound in this pregnancy. By my LMP I am 9.5 weeks, but on the screen the tech could barely find the baby. It was a little dot and she says it seems to be only about a 4week pregnancy. I am very sure about the time I got pregnant and I KNOW I am 9.5 weeks. This was a planned baby, I knwo the exact day I would have become pregnant. Does anyone know what the reasons for this to be so small could be? She couldn't really answer my questions today. Thanks

Okay, first of all I have a Dr's appt tomorrow, but I just want to know your alls experience with this. Has anyone ever had several negative blood tests and urine tests at like 3-4 months? I think this is more common than anyone thinks. My doc sent me for a quantitative blood test a month ago (I would have been 13 weeks at the time) just to make sure after receiving negatives on 2 qualitative (yes or no) blood tests, that I wasn't pregnant. She wanted to check the #'s to see for sure. It was <1-negative. Is it possible to be 3 months and receive neg on a quant? I know it can happen on a qualitative, but a quant? Is this unheard of, or has anyone actually had this happen? I did have 2 more qualitatives @ 17 and 18 weeks after I could have conceived, but they were neg also! My co-workers and I'm sure my doc think I'm crazy!!! Please give me some answers!

My 20 month old has a lot of teeth and has already chewed through five nuby cups. But I need a really good spill proof cup that she can't destroy to protect the carpet. Any other brands that are good and that have unchewable tops? Her molars are cutting through and I know she can't help it and the teething causes her to chew them.

My dd was just in for her 18 month well baby. She was below the 5 percentile. She was teething with a fever the week before and lost a pound or two that week. She weighed 20.2 lbs and is 31 in tall at her well baby checkup. 12 month check up she was 18.6 pounds 5% 28 in tall.....6 months she was 14.8 pounds 9% and 25 in tall. She only needs to gain a pound or two. I have been adding cream to her milk and giving her pp&j. She isn't a big eater. So I need to get the calories and fat in where I can. I am just wondering though how many calories does she need to gain weight and any suggestions on high calorie foods?

Can anyone give me some step by step advice on cutting a 2 yr old boys hair.
My usual hairdresser who will tolerate his screaming fits left the hairdressers and i have no idea where she is now. He's such a baby when he goes to the hairdressers that i'm thinking of having a go myself at home.
He HATES the clippers so a grade 2 all over is a no go.
Help!!

Pregnancy is a very complicated process and I was curious if most woman had positive experiences with their coaches. With the process being so long for delivery, the pain, timing of contractions... did they pull it off?

Before you go thinking this is another AM I PREGNANT question, it isnt.
I am 39 and have 3 girls so youd think I would know eh ?
I had a light late period on Oct 29 lasted 2 -3 days. I am not ovulating yet so it cant be that . Last few days I have been nauseous , bloated tired and now my breasts are kinda sore.
I tried Pepcid and gas pills but nothing is helping. i have headeaches and gone to the restroom alot... I know its too early for menopause cuz it doesnt happen in my family til late 50's.. should i waste my time on another preg test or just head to the dr feeling silly ?
I had a miscarriage in Nov of last year and it was then my dr who preformed my tubal ligation said that they were open again ... ugh
Is it possible that we are pregnant again?
Sorry this is so long !

My friends and I can't figure it out: Do you always sleep with your child while he/she is sleeping? What about naps? Do you go to bed at 7 with your baby/child? If not, where does your child take naps? If so, do you get a lot done around the house? How do you manage to have more children?

I'm not trying to tick anyone off, I just really want to know how you swing it all...

Thanks!

I'm 19, in college. Except for some minor faults when I was under 12, I never got in trouble. I've always have n excellent relationship w/ my parents. I don't live w/ them because I have to move out for college. When I was 14 I made a mistake. Once I gave in to peer pressure, went out w/ a crowd I knew was not very good. I drank a bit w/ them and even considered joining them in some wrong and dangerous stuff, but fortunately I was enough wise to get out. No one got to know and I thought about telling my parents what I had done. I asked for the advice of some adults, most scared me, said I'd lose my parents' trust and would get a harsh punishment. They were understanding and loving, so I don't think that would be the case, but I got scared and decided not to tell them anything. Anyway, I knwew I had been about to mess up, realized that would have been stupid and was sure I wouldn't do that any more. It was a very wise decision, I avoided some completely unnecessary problems.

I have a 16 year old that swears her friends don't have to do chores but I think it teaches her that she has to earn the money I give her on the weekends and also responcibility.
