Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 November 2007

I was due for my period on the 26th of November. I felt absolutely exhausted for the past 2-3 weeks, sleeping 12-14 hours a day and I just felt different than normal. So with the constant fatigue, I went to my doctor and he did a blood test. Well to my surprise they told me I was a week and a half pregnant. But it was SO close to my period date and that concerned me. So today I woke up to a signifigantly easier "period" than I normally have.

Normally, I'm poppin advil every 4-6 hours to relieve the pain because it's that unbearable, putting heating pads wherever I can, I can't leave the bathroom because I'm nauseous or constantly have to poo, I'm sweating and just overall uncomfortable. Today I feel mildly uncomfortable like a mild backache, VERY light to almost non existant cramping and it's all nothing I can't handle which is VERY unusual for my "period". Is it normal for me to feel something like that and still be pregnant?

My oldest daughter is almost 8 years old and in 2nd grade. What age should you start talking to your children about sex and drugs? And what do you say? I had sex before marriage and got pregnant and while I don't regret what I did, I also don't want my daughter to do the same thing. We were taught abstience and my mother was adimate about it- so were weren't allowed to take sex ed classes at school because she didn't believe in teaching about protection.... she thought they should just teach absitinance and leave it at that. However, I'm on the fence as to what to teach my daughter- I do believe in teaching her abstinence, but I also know that chances are- she will have sex before marriage- so how do I go about teaching sexual safety and protection without giving her the impression that having sex at a young age etc is acceptable behavior and ok?

This morning, my daughter was very insistant that she didn't want to go to her preschool class. Typically, she loves to go. I attempted to convince her to go every way I could all the way up to the school doors. She didn't budge, cried that she didn't want to without giving me any real reason why. I caved and let her come back home. I'm looking for (educated) opinions on this. Was this the right move ? Or am I teaching her that if she has a fit, she can get out of going to school? She is almost 4. If your child was very insistant on not going, would you force them to go anyway? I suppose I was just concerned that there was a bigger issue that she couldn't express to me. Any tips on getting the reason why out of her? Or should I let it go and see how she is next time she goes?

I have breastfed my baby exclusively for 6 1/2 months, I am ready to wean him to formula, I have tried to give him a bottle or sippy cup of formual here and there for a few months but he wont take it. I was just wondering how to go about weaning a reluctant baby? Please help. P.S. to those of you who will just say keep breastfeeding, he already has 7 teeth and it kind of hurts even when he isn't biting, so I have my reasons for wanting to stop.

I keep looking up whether u are really fertile right after u have a baby... people are saying yes. And then people are saying no way! Whats the correct answer? I have an 8 week old (1st baby) and am breastfeeding. I was put on a low dosage of Birth control since I am nursing. I started it on Sunday. (1st time taking birth control ever so i am new to this) I had sex lastnight with no condom and my hubby didnt "go" in me. But now I am worried about the pre ejaculation ..wondering hey since i just had a baby and am breastfeeding what if the "You ARE very fertile" answers are right? Should I be concerned of just be more careful? Or does BC work right away and I can relax LOL

I did last night, I was throwing up and writhing on the floor. What gives? What the heck? I already asked a doctor and it looks like I'm fine, but I'm just so worried that I won't be able to handle a natural birth, even though it's what I want most. Help.

I'm 8-9days past ovulation time. The 20 or 21st was slated to be my most fertile day.

I had sex two days of the week (3 days apart) including the 21st (also the 18th).

Currently I am seeing no signs of pregnancy, except for wanting to go to sleep the past could of days about an hour earlier than usual (I know that may not be a sign). I don't really "feel" pregnant but would like a child and to be pregnant.

Now my period is not due until between the 4th & 6th of December and I am willing to wait until then to see if period comes before I check.

Is 8-9dpo to early to see any symptoms of being pregnant? Could I be pregnant and show no signs at all? Also if period comes (of what I think may be the period) is there anything I should look for with it to determine if it is not really a period and a possible pregnancy?
