Pregnancy & Parenting - 13 November 2007

Please dont judge me as i know i have been irresponsible and its getting me down.

I am pregnant. I split with my boyfriend in May and slept with a guy on 29thJune 2007, i then has my period 2 days later. I then got back with my boyfriend in July around the middle. As i remember i had a light period, but my periods hace always been unpredictable. I went for a dating scan on the 26th September and they told me i was six weeks pregnant, which would mean i concieved around the 14th August is this correct? I have been for another scan on the 26th October and i was 12.5 weeks pregnant give or take 5 days which would mean i concieved around the end of July/beg of August if thats how you work it out?

Could the dating scans be wrong? im really worrying myself to the point its making me unwell, could this be the guy i slept with in June or my boyfriends? can scans be 3 or 4 weeks out? also am i working out the date i conceieved correctly?

Please help

I am just curious because my daughter is 3 and she seems to have alot of the traits for the triple X chromosome syndrome. But if they test for chromosome abnormalities when they are born with bloodwork then I will know that it is impossible. I am pretty sure they do but I figured I would ask on here. I will call the doctor as a last resort but I figured I would try here first. Thanks so much!!!!

My fiance' left me last night... he knows that i am pregnant, he was thrilled when we found out. He left because he said that he was tired of the bullshit! But the things he says and does to me makes me so mad! He said that he tried and tried, hes one of those that think they do no wrong (no matter what) But i cant just let him go like this! I want to talk to him! Should i call him or wait for him to call me?

My son is just a little over 6 months old and I am having the worst trouble trying to get him to sleep through the night. Putting him to bed isn't a problem at all, its keeping him asleep Im having trouble with. He used to wake up every 2 hours, NOW he wakes up every 20 - 45 min! All through the night! Ive tried Tylenol, ive tried warm baths, Ive even tried 3-4oz of Camomile Tea mixed with his bed time bottle. Naps arent as bed durring the day, he sleeps anywhere from 45 min- 2 hours at each nap which are2 times a day, maybe 3! Teething is an option but would it really make him get up every 20 - 45 min? Ive tried letting him cry for 5-20min incrimants at a time as well. Im lost! Please help!

My daughter is 4 weeks old and hasn't had any vaccines yet. I'm stuck in the middle of 2 extremists on this issue. My mom thinks I should not give her ANY because they cause all these bad reactions and autism, etc. Then my bf thinks I should give her ALL cause he has a family member with polio and knows how bad these diseases can get. I feel like I'm going to get blamed if she has any bad reactions to a shot or if she gets any diseases...Please help. What do normal people do about vaccines??

I read that early communication with your baby is possible and leads to a happier baby....what do you all think?

You are the parent of a 16-year-old boy. You come home unexpectedly and find your door ajar. Inside, you discover your son’s friend looking through a kitchen drawer. The boy says he is looking for a paper and a pencil so he can leave your son a note. On the counter next to him is a lock-pick and some of your jewelry and he smells of marijuana. You tell the boy to leave immediately and he does. What would you do?

i have heard of this happening before. i dont get why that - would she want to hurt that child. i cant get it. whats scary is if you look at her ugly face their are so many people like that and what i dont get is she wouldnt have even been found out, if it didnt result in the babies death. (babies cant talk). How can you know if someone is so dispicable and capable of something as disgusting like that??
how can you trust anyone... anyone.
i couldnt ever, not even my blood family. im not stupid.

I dont want him to be unsafe and his girlfriend is driving him tonight, but they all make it seem that he has to get bombed to be a man, i was known for having fun when in college, but when i turned 18 (the legal drinking age in 79) getting black out drunk wasn't the goal, more like having fun, any thoughts?

my son is 11 and spends hours drawing and sketching and thinking that he is really good at art. The fact is, he's not. He is absolutely useless. I have never discouraged him and always give him positive feedback. I am also happy that he's drawing rather than causing trouble on the street. But, he openly and confidently says that his work is good and that he wants to do something in art and design when he gets older.

How do I tell him he's cr@p with out knocking his confidence?

The bus ride requires a transfer to another bus. Takes about 20 minutes in total and then walking for five minutes to our house. Is it safe for a nine year old who just moved to this country to do that alone?

Hey all.

I had a miscarriage in May, and had the Mirena IUD put in June. I had it take out on October 9th, because it was making me gain mad weight.
My doctor told me to use protection right when it was taken out because I could get pregnant. So, lol, I didn't use any protection, because we are TTC.

The beginning of my last period was on October 6th 2007. I was due November 6th 2007, and have not gotten my period yet.

I am now exactly one week late. And for the past 2 weeks, I have had bad night sickness, my nipples are HUGE, and I am leaking discharge so much it feels like I wet myself. Also I have really bad heartburn and headaches.

But I have bad cramps. It is known in my family for pregnancy tests to show up negative until the 3rd month. So all of my tests say negative!

What do you think?

Where do you get the silly notion that its a parents job to teach sex ed and not teachers?

Im sorry how is it different to chemistry, biology, history, maths, or french lessons other then everyone will do it, be compelled to do it, hurt if they dont do it and its a bigger part of life them most things including having your own family eventually.
And the strongest feelings are part of it

You need to get a dictionary and look up the word teacher those who cant grasp this simple notion

teacher
ergo to er teach.
with teaching boards
teaching tools
teaching videos
professional teaching qualificiations
teaching experience
in a teaching institution
with teaching aids
teaching books
teaching hand outs
with teaching models
The ability to afford teaching field trips,

etc etc... why is that to hard for you to get?

parents should help like they should help with all homework;

And make sure they are leaning everything but you cant trust them as most are useles

I have a 2 year old, and I have been told I need to send him to preschool (by my mother-in-law of course) and I cannot decide if I really want to. I've called several of them, and I hate to say it, but when did being a child become all about stuffing your heads so full of stuff at such a young age? I am totally for education, have a college degree etc, but teaching 2 year olds to write the alphabet seems a little much to me. I called sevearl churches that have mother's day out programs and they are the same, they go by the school day hours, and have a Sept-May year. I want my son to have fun and learn by doing things, but I don't want to put him at a disadvantage though because of not sending him and he is behind what is expected in Kindergarten. We do things, but it's not like a set structured schedule all day every day, I've tried that, and I had a hard time keeping to it because I have things I need to do too (errands, tending to the other kids etc). Anyone have advice?
