Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - October 2006

I just learned that I am pregnant. My partner and I have been using foam for about 9-10 months, and up to this point it has worked. He was not interested in using condoms. Anyhow, I am pregnant - and the foam apparently failed (we used it EVERY time). Just curious if there are others out there that have a similar scenario with contraceptive foam...

Thanks...and please no pep talks on birth control and pg...I am a grown woman and understand all of that. Just curious about some real experiences.

We have a 5 month old baby riding in a rear-facing car seat. One of our cars is about to go and we are looking at buying a new (certified used, etc.) vehicle. We want one that is easy to get a car seat in and out of the back seat without bonking our heads everytime. We also want a safe vehicle but no gas guzzlers. Any suggestions?

my period is due in two days.

of course, I may not be prego also.
I want to know, but i don't know if I should wait for a missed period or if I should just get over with the waiting and just take a test.

I work at a day care and this one two year old has a pacifier she calles bobbie. So It made me wonder what are some cute and interesting names that you have heard or used for a pacifier? I would also love if you had some names from other languages.

my period is not due until 10/4/06. (2 days from now).
i want to test if i'm prego.
can i still get a fairly accurate result even if i don't use the first morning urine?

it's very hard for me to test with the first morning urine cause i void frequently during the night. I mean, i guess I could hold it in for the pu8rpose of testing for pregnancy but I don't want to get a UTI (urinary tract infection), and I can't sleep if my bladder is even remotely not empty.

so what do u think? could i test with an afternoon or late night urine? (considering that my period should start in 2 days)

I don't agree with smacking children, I think it teaches them to hit people when they don't get their own way.
What do you think?

I took my last pill on Saturday (ortho-cyclen)...so I'm wondering will I have a longer period if I don't take the pill on Sunday like I have for the past 10 years? If so, how long will it last? A month? Few days? Just curious what the average is since I know everyone's bodies are different. Thanks ladies!

I'm happpily married, with no children. I've noticed that american girls have their kids when they're in their 20's... Where I was raised is normal to wait longer. My husband (american) says that he wants to wait 2 more years or so, but I've thought at least 5 would be OK. He loves kids... his eyes shine when he sees one. We're both 27. How long should we wait?

She was only pregnant like 27 times or something, but every time she had twins, triplets, or quadruplets. Isn't that crazy?

My nipples have changed colour from light pink to dark purply brownand enlarged. They are very sore and hot to the touch. I had to sleep with ice packs last night, I really don't think that I am pregnant so what else could this be?? I have no fever or discharge from them. My breasts are swollen as well and my period is not due for another 2 weeks.I have had to children, and I remeber what "let down" was like and this feels like that. Any ideas out there??I cannot get into the doctor until November, that is why I am asking.

well,if you get pregnant say the week before your next due period you will have it correct? towards the end of my period this big jellylike clump comes out and this time it didn't and I always wondered if that was the egg and since it didn't this time does that indicate pregnancy?Please someone answer these questions for me. Ever since I have ever had a period i've seen that thing come out and this time i didn't and it scares me.I was always told that you don't miss your period that close to becoming pregnant.Please help.

I'm doing a research paper and I want to know what people think. Who do you think is to blame for teenagers becoming pregnant? Is it the teenagers themselves for having sex or is it their parents who should encourage their teens into waiting until marriage or using protection? Let me know why you think.
