Im so afraid now...did depo ruin my baby makin organs?

TTC Baby #

I sure hope not!!!!
Are there any women out there who were on depo and had no problems TTC. I know it may seem dumb of me to keep asking about this but...well...im sure any other woman would worry the same thing
TTC Cycle #3
Been off depo for about 2 years now
Was on depo of MAYBE 3 years probably less than that
I just saw a commercial for a home fertility test...if i am infertile due to depo...will his accurately tell me

Answer
Hi I was on Depo for about 2 years. Last shot was september of 08. It messed up my cycle. and i have not gotten my period without some help from oral provera. I also have pcos, so it compounded that problem. However, depo can make it more difficult to conceive due to the way it works in your body. It basically shuts down progesterone production in your own body. But, After a year of ttc and no luck me and hubby went to see a fertility specialist. All of my blood work came back fine even though I was on depo for a couple of years. I think it just takes some women longer for the depo to wear off. i would make an appt to see your doctor and get your hormone levels drawn progesterone, estrogen, estriadol, FSH to make sure all is well. Best of luck to you hun and I hope my story helped! Baby dust baby dust to you.

maybe screwed up cycle?

~BaByGiRl~

OK here is the deal.. october 28th first day of my LMP.. ok it ended 6 days after.. which was odd considering my cycle 4-5 days.. was to Ovulate on the 14th of november..not sure if i did or not.. anyways..yes i am sexually active.. so 3 days after i felt some back pain.. which till this day is still there..breasts started to get sore. and peeing more and intense hunger but would be full after a few bites.. anyways i wasnt to get my period until the 24/25th of november. but it came 1 week early.. so on the 19th i got it.. but still have the same back pain, and breast soreness..and hunger.. so im not sure if its just a screwed up cycle.. or that im P and not know it lmao.. any advice would be great thanks
ok.. my period was a week early i didnt miss it..
and im safe been tested been with this person for a while now.. so.. obviously i dont have anything..
I dont think it was implantation bleeding as it was like a regular period.. ill go see a doc tomorrow

Answer
You're young, right? I'm guessing..Yes.
Because by now, us girls should know better then to be sexually active without some form of contraceptive especially a condom or have a monogamous relationship..With all the nasty sh*t that's running through everyone's blood..Think about it??
I'd wait, if you go another month with no period take a test and be careful with yourself because certain STD's can screw up your baby makin organs or you can transfer these diseases to your baby..Now would you want that??
I go to a site called yourdays.com. It tracks your period so you can either avoid or achieve pregnancy..I just go there to track my period since I already have 2 children and have been fixed. Just be careful with yourself..You only have 1 chance with your body, screw it up and you can't take it back.

Any newly pregnant women due July 2011?

cLaU

Well I'm 5 weeks pregnant today. I've been worried though because I've been getting a sharp pain on one side of my belly, closer to the groin area. I went to the Dr. yesterday but they said an ultrasound couldn't be done because the baby wouldn't be viable yet.

What are your symptoms for those 4-6 weeks pregnant?

Answer
I'm 6 weeks, due July 16th. Nauseated but havent puked any, sore nipples & light/mild cramping. I was told it was implantation cramping. I've not had any spotting at all or any other symptoms except slight fatigue. I go for an ultrasound tomorrow! :)

[Intro]
Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her butt.
It is so big. *scoff* She looks like,
one of those rap guys' girlfriends.
But, y'know, who understands those rap guys? *scoff*
They only talk to her, because,
she looks like a total prostitute, 'kay?
I mean, her butt, is just so big. *scoff*
I can't believe it's just so round, it's like,
out there, I mean - gross. Look!
She's just so ... black!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Til the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna role in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".

[Sir Mix-a-Lot]
So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sista, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

(Little in the middle but she got much back) [4x]

how can i get pregnant?

babyDee

my partner and i have been doing it for more than 3 years now...we are not using any contraceptives except the calendar method.now that we had decided to have a baby, we just cant make one.we are getting frustrated each month, everytime my period comes. can you help me please? why do you think it is hard for us now to have a baby now that we want it? can you suggest some vitamins that might help us? my shortest cycle is 26days and my longest is 31. thanks.

Answer
How to get Pregnant Faster â Top Ten Tips

1. Have sex three times a week.

Having regular sex is the best way to get pregnant. Couples often try to time everything perfectly for ovulation but do not have sex when they think they are not ovulating. It is true that sex that is not within the time of ovulation will not result in pregnancy. However, because women do not always ovulate when they think they will, having sex three times a week will help to a woman cover her bases, so to speak, and not miss an opportunity to get pregnant.
2. Use an ovulation prediction kit or fertility monitor.

Using an ovulation kit to predict when you are ovulating will improve your chances of getting pregnant. For many women charting or other methods of ovulation prediction are too confusing. Ovulation prediction kits work by reading LH surges prior to ovulation. They are relatively easy to use and are generally accurate for predicting ovulation. Fertility monitors, such as the Clear Blue Easy monitor, are also a worthwhile investment if you would like to get pregnant faster. Fertility monitors are similar to ovulation prediction kits in that they read changes in LH but they also read changes in other hormones and donât require any guesswork for couples. They are easy to use and will tell you when the best time to get pregnant is.

3. Have sex before ovulation (not after).

Sometimes couples get confused about the best time to have sex in relationship to ovulation. You have a small window of time each month to get pregnant. After a woman ovulates the egg will survive approximately 24 hours. Sperm, on the other hand, will live for up to three to five days. This is why having sex two to three days before ovulation will increase your chances of getting pregnant. Donât wait until the day you ovulate to have sex. Your partnerâs sperm will last longer than your egg and you donât want to miss an opportunity by waiting.

4. Donât rely on the Calendar method for predicting ovulation.

A lot of couples have heard to have sex around day fourteen of your cycle. This is based on the calendar method and assumes that you have a regular 28-day cycle and ovulate mid-cycle. Although this is better than just picking an arbitrary day to have sex, it is not a very accurate way to predict when you ovulate. Many women do not ovulate on day fourteen and knowing precisely when you ovulate will help you time intercourse better. Ovulation prediction kits, looking at previous months bbt charts, or watching for body cues will help you to determine when you ovulate.

5. Charting may not be the best way to predict ovulation.

Charting is great for tracking your cycle but it does have disadvantages. By the time you can see ovulation on a bbt chart, you have already ovulated. It is good to chart so you can track your cycles, see if you ovulate the same time each month, and also so you can look back on your cycle and see if you timed things right. But if this is your first cycle trying to get pregnant or if you are not ovulating at the same time each month, an ovulation prediction kit would be more helpful.

6. See a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant.
Make sure you are in good health and have had a regular check up from your OBGYN or medical provider. Untreated infections, sexually transmitted diseases, or poor health can affect your chances of getting pregnant. Its good to see a doctor as well as start taking prenatal vitamins prior to trying to conceive.

7. Donât smoke, drink alcohol, or abuse drugs when trying to get pregnant.
This may seem like common sense but many women do try to get pregnant while smoking, drinking or using drugs. Smoking, drugs, and alcohol can affect your fertility. It will also affect your unborn child. It is important to stop smoking or using drugs and alcohol before getting pregnant and not wait until you find out you are pregnant.

8. Have enjoyable sex.

Sometimes when couples are trying to conceive, sex becomes a job or function of reproduction and is not as enjoyable. Plan a romantic evening or try something different to spice things up. How you are feeling sexually may factor into your chances of getting pregnant. Some researchers believe that having an orgasm during sex increases your chances of getting pregnant. For women, the spasmic movements of orgasm will help pull the sperm into the uterus and for men a better orgasm may increase the manâs sperm count.

9. Have sex in positions that keep sperm inside the vagina longer.

The missionary position is a good position to use when trying to get pregnant. Avoid positions where the woman is on top. Gravity will allow sperm to leak out with these positions. Also try placing a pillow under your hips to help tilt your pelvis and keep the sperm in longer. Donât get up right after sex. Try to relax and allow the sperm to stay in the vagina as long as possible.

10. There is no such thing as trying too hard to get pregnant.
Most couples get pregnant within a year of trying. If you have not gotten pregnant within a year consult your doctor for advice.

Tips to help get pregnant.?

Caroline

Please no obvious or sarcastic answers, as I know how it happens. My question is; does any have any tips for me that will help my chances of convincing?
My husband has finally told me that I can stop taking the birth control and we can try for a baby finally! (YAHOO!) And I am crazy excited about that, and I am definitely ready to start trying now. I have stopped taking my birth control, and started taking folic acid. I was wondering if there were any other neat little tips or trick that could help us out. :) Thanks!

Answer
Start taking folic acid. Folic acid is very healthy for an unborn child. Taking it before conceiving can get things better prepared in there for your baby and will start giving your child the nutrients it needs as soon as it needs them. Proper care of your body and eating the right foods will ensure a healthy baby.

2
Do not get up right away after you have sex. Lay there for 15 to 20 minutes. Some women have had success by putting their legs up in the air or laying a pillow under their pelvic area during intercourse to elevate the vagina which helps the sperm make its way to the egg easier and faster.

3
Have intercourse during ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the day of your expected period. You can buy over the counter ovulation kits to test yourself with. Also, if you check your temperature everyday for a month, your temperature is said to rise on the day or days of your ovulation.

4
Cut back or cut out bad habits. Caffiene restricts blood flow to the uterus. So if you drink alot of caffiene, it is time to cut back. Studies have even shown that in some cases women who consumed large amounts of caffiene during conception and the first trimester suffered from miscarriage due to too much caffiene. Caffiene moves over the placenta when in your body and it can affect the fetus. Decaf is okay. Alcohol and smoking cigarettes is also known to cause problems. If you get pregnant you do not want to be doing those things anyways because they will harm your child in ways that you would never think could happen.

5
Keep your vagina sperm friendly! Don't use douche, don't have any saliva in there or around there before he ejaculates because yes, saliva is said to kill sperm. Vaginal sprays and scented tampons can also leave particles behind that can kill sperm.

6
If you get off before he does the fluid inside of your vagina can clog the area up and make it harder for the sperm to break through. You will want as little of your own body fluids in the area as possible. In the old days many women claimed to drink cough medicine in order to aid in pregnancy. This may sound silly but still to this day some women drink a couple tablespoons of Robitussin before sexual intercourse. The Robitussin thins the female discharge naturally down there and allows the sperm to move more easily and quickly. While some people say that having an orgasm aids in pregnancy, this is a myth.

7
Have sex right before or during ovulation not after. Your egg only lasts for 24 hours. Sperm on the other hand can live up to 3 or 4 days in your body. However, it is more likely to have a boy if you have sex during ovulation as the male sperm gets the egg faster but dies quicker. Therefore, having sex a day before ovulation or so, will have a higher chance of a female because the female sperm are slower getting to the egg but they live longer.

8
Do not have sex with the woman on top. We all learned about gravity in middle school and it is no different in this situation. It is possible to get pregnant being on top but it is alot less likely then if you are on the bottom in missionary style, which is the best way.

9
Stop thinking that you are pregnant all the time. This will make you depressed and stressed out. Stress and depression can always cause physical problems. Take it easy. Relax. Rest. Be happy. It will happen one day just not today but that is okay.

10
Eat fertile foods. Beans, nuts, garlic, lean meats, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, cauliflower, eggs with the yolk, honey, avocado, oysters, and plenty of water. If you do not drink enough water your cervical fluid moves slower and slows down the process of the sperm finding the egg. This could cause the sperm to die before it meets the egg. Have the Dad eat oily fish such as sardines or salmon as it is said to enhance sperm mobility and the overall quality as well. If your man doesn't want to eat fish then he can take a flaxseed oil supplement.

Make sure you keep notes of your periods on a calendar so you don't get dates mixed up.

Tips on how to get pregnant easier?

She

I ended my period on the 26th of July (started on the 23rd). It is now Aug. 12th. The issue was I was a full week late and it only lasted for 3 days. I thought I might be pregnant but the test red neg, b/c I am normally more campy and heavier flow. I at least felt like I ovulated around the 10th and hubby and I try at least every other night. I am eating healthy and would like to know any other tips to try. We have only been trying for 5 mos (but before these past two mos we didn't have sex as regularly due to work travels and etc.). Your stories and or prayers are much appreciated.

Thank you.
any advice would help also...

Hubby and I are newlyweds, both healthy 30 y/o adults. And no family history of major illnesses. None with us currently.
red=read* (typo)

Answer
you need to start and track your ovulation days, have sex every other day from around 1week after your period up to two days after, buy ovulation kits which tell you when you ovulate, after sex prop you bum up on a pillow and raise your legs and relax there for around 15 minutes, make sure your partner doesn't get a hot shower just before or wear tight boxers, start taking folic acid and vitamin b6, and ur hubby vitamin c,
hope this helps
lots of luck im in the same situation and finding t very stress full as i have endometriosis, people say dont stress and it will happen (easier said than done)
baby dust

How come somedays I feel my baby move a lot and other days I don't feel movement at all. Can you tell me why?

Jackie M

I usually feel movement 4 or 5 times a day but for the pass two days I don't feel anything could something be wrong? I am starting to worry, and I don't see my doctor until August 2. I really scared and I really don't know what to expect because this is my first pregnancy and I am just 17 years old.

Answer
I'm sorry to hear you're worried sweetie. I would be able to answer your question a lot better, if I knew how far along you are.

I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and some day's my daughter is really active, other days I barely feel her at all. I have found that on the days that I hardly feel her, I am quite busy. Perhaps she is rocked into a 'resting period'. Perhaps she is moving, but I don't notice it as I go about my daily tasks. My advice to you is to have a really cold drink, and a high energy snack, and put your feet up for a while. Babies tend to kick more when you are lying still. Also, I find it easier to feel my daughter kick when I am lying on my back, so you might like to try that.

I also have some information about babies movements that might be comforting to you.

Your Baby's Movements

The moment you feel your baby move inside you for the first time is a huge thrill - proof that she actually exists. Even though you may have had an ultrasound scan, which showed your baby moving about in the womb, she'll seem much more real when you feel her for yourself. If she's your first baby, you'll probably first notice her movements inside your womb at about 18-20 weeks. If you've already had a child, you may feel movements at 16-18 weeks or even before. The earliest noticeable movements of the baby - known as the quickening - make a delicate sensation that's been likened to the fluttering of wrings. First time mothers other mistake this feeling for indigestion, wind or hunger pangs, but the experienced mother knows what to expect, so is quickerto identify these feleings as movements of her baby.

Why your baby moves:
Your baby stretches and flexes her growing limbs as they develop. This activity is vital to help her muscles grow properly and starts around the eighth week, when she begins making tiny movements of her spine. In those early weeks you might not notice her movements, ut by about the end of the sixteenth week, you may feel the vigorous kicking of the now fully formed limbs, although you might not recognise them.

Your baby will kick, push, punch, squirm and turn somersaults and you'll often see as well as feel her movements. She'll move more and more as she grows and is at her most active between weeks 30 and 32. The typical baby averages 200 movements a day at week 20, rising to 375 a day at week 32, but the number of movements a day can range from 100 to about 700 over a period of several days.

After week 32, it will become harder for your baby to move as she grows to fill the uterus. Although restricted, she'll still be able to give plenty of sharp kicks. When her engaged head bounces on your pelvis floor muscles, you'll feel a jolt.

Changing position and emotional reactions:
Your baby need s to exercise and coordinate her growing muscles, but she also moves around for other reasons.

She may, for instance, shift her position because she feels like a change, or because you're sitting or lying in a position that's uncomfortable for her. OOr she may be trying to find her thumb that she'd ben happily sucking before she moved.

She may also be moving around in response to your emotions. Hormones, such as adrenalin, are released into your bloodstream when you're physically or emotionally stimulated. Pleasure, excitement, anger, stress, anxiety of fear can also stimulate the production of chemicals that will pass acrossthe placenta and into your baby's bloodstream. These hormones affect your baby, so if you get angry or very anxious, she may become agitated and start kicking and squirming. If you can, sit down in a quiet place and practice your relaxation techniques. This will help to calm both you and your baby.

Counting the kicks:
Just like the rest of us, your baby will feel and be more active on some days than on others, but her daily pattern of movements will become more consistent after about week 28. From themn on yu can keep a check on your baby's movements. On average, most women can feel about nine out of every 10 of their baby's movements, although for some women the proportion is only six out of every 10.

Whether you feel a movement or not depends on its direction and strength, and the position your baby is in when she makes it. For instance, if she is facing and kicking in towards your spine, you wont feel the sort of short, sharp jab that you get if she kicks out towards your belly or up towards your ribs.

I'm also going to include the link to a pregnancy forum that I think you might find really helpful and interesting. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise. Hope you sign up!

Is my unborn baby deaf or is it something else?

Ava

My husband and I are hearing impaired. I will be 26 weeks tomorrow. I don't feel my unborn baby kicks as often as she's supposed to. Does that mean she's deaf or is it possible that I have an anterior placenta?

Answer
there is no way to know if your baby is deaf before they are born. you have to wait and see once your child is born. they will do a hearing test in the hospital before you leave.

in regards to your baby moving:
At first the kicks you notice will be few and far between. In fact, you may feel several movements one day and then none the next. Although your baby is moving and kicking regularly, many of his jerks and jolts aren't yet strong enough for you to feel. But later in the second trimester, those reassuring kicks will become stronger and more regular.
Once you're feeling kicks regularly, pay attention to them and let your practitioner know right away if you notice a decrease in your baby's movement. Less movement may signal a problem, and you'll need a nonstress test or biophysical profile to check on your baby's condition.

Once you're in your third trimester, some practitioners will recommend that you spend some time each day counting your baby's kicks. There are lots of different ways to do these "kick counts," so ask for specific instructions.

Here's one common approach: Choose a time of day when your baby tends to be active. (Ideally, you'll want to do the counts at roughly the same time each day.) Sit quietly or lie on your side so you won't get distracted. Time how long it takes for you to feel ten distinct movements â kicks, twitches, and whole body movements all count. If you don't feel ten movements in two hours, stop counting and call your midwife or doctor.

The term "anterior placenta" refers to the location of the placenta within your uterus. Most of the time, a fertilized egg will situate itself in the posterior uterus â the part closest to your spine, which is where the placenta eventually develops, too. Sometimes, though, the egg implants on the opposite side of the uterus, closest to your abdomen. When the placenta develops, it grows on the front (or anterior) side of your uterus, with the baby behind.
Does the location of your placenta make any difference? Not to your baby, who doesn't care which side of the uterus he or she is lying on, and it certainly makes no difference to him or her where the placenta lies. And what about to you â or your practitioner? You might be less able to feel your baby's early kicks and punches because the placenta will serve as a cushion between your baby and your tummy. For the same reason, your doctor or midwife may find it a bit harder to hear fetal heart sounds (and it could make amniocentesis slightly more challenging). These situations will resolve if the placenta moves into a more posterior position later on (as anterior placentas commonly do). But the good news here is that, despite those slight inconveniencies, an anterior placenta in and of itself poses no risk to your health.

If, however, you have an anterior placenta that is also lying quite low in your uterus, it could partially or completely block off the cervix (and the baby's way out), a condition called placenta previa (which can make a cesarean section necessary). But again, because the placenta generally migrates around in the uterus quite a bit during pregnancy, a low-lying placenta will very often have moved into the upper part of the uterus â and safely out of the baby's way â by the time you're ready to deliver.

your baby's movements and if you have an anterior placenta or not has no bearing on if your child can hear or not. you will find that out once he/she is born.

in regards to the anterior placenta, your doctor will let you know during your sonogram if you have that condition

good luck to you

My boyfriend nutted in me twice how will i know if im pregnant without a test?

SweetHoney

We was kind of trying to get me pregnant but we cant tell if im pregnant or not. I just really need to know

Answer
I don't mean to be a jerk- honestly- but if you can't afford a test, how are you going to afford a baby?

Do you have a dollar store where you are? They sell diff. pregnancy tests, but I believe the dollar store brand is pretty cheap. Also, if your pockets are totally empty, I think you might be able to get a free test at your local health dept. Do you live in the U.S.? If not, I'm not sure how things work where you are.

If you stop getting your period, that's a good sign. Sometimes other things can cause the loss of a period for several months, however, such as serious hormonal imbalance or really low body weight/malnutrition, and menopause (and early menopause) for people of a certain age, etc. So, it's not a definite. Also, your period might be late due to stress, but if you totally miss your period, it could be indicating that you're pregnant. Also, eventually your areolas (the colored circle around the nippples) will darken when you are pregnant. So, if they get darker that could be an indication of pregnancy. Also tender, swollen breasts, bloating, and lower back pain are early pregnancy indicators, BUT they are also symptoms of PMS. So if you get them, they could just be signs your period is on the way. Urinating more often is another symptom, although it is also a symptom of a UTI and diabetes, for example. But if it's unusual for you to pee that much, and you don't have any other reasons to suspect you have an infection or diabetes, and you've been having unprotected sex, you might want to consider pregnancy. Oh, and of course, morning sickness is another early pregnancy symptom.

Here are some links to some early pregnancy indicators:

http://healthcaretips.psyphil.com/early-signs-of-pregnancy-signs-of-early-pregnancy/
http://hubpages.com/hub/Early_Symptoms_of_Pregnancy

By the way, if you are pregnanct, you need to find out as quickly as possible. Pregnant women need more vitamins and minerals than other women. You need to educate yourself on what your body needs to take care of the baby, and if you're pregnant, start providing your body with those things.

How can I get pregnant without my boyfriend knowing it was on purpose?

Heather

I really want a baby. We have been together for 2 years. He does not want to get married yet and that's fine with me, but I do want a child. He says he wants children, but not yet. I'm not asking for anyones opinion! I'm asking for ways to get pregnant without him knowing it was on purpose. He ALWAYS wants to use a condom. I've even been on birth control before and he still ALWAYS makes sure he's wearing a condom. It's very very rare for him to not put one on. Sometimes I can talk him into doing it without one for a little while, but it's not often. Any suggestions??

Answer
You can put a little hole on his condom without him noticing it. Or something like that. Good luck! & ignore the rude comments & ppl she obuously said she doesnt need ya opinions. No need to call her names or anything.

It is Hard to breathe!?

Q. i woke up and got out of bed and then i went to sit at my computer and it got harder to breathe. last night before i went to sleep it was hard to breathe also.

i i was sick last SAT with a stomach bug. now every time i eat something i get a whole lot of gas in my stomach. i just want it to stop.

also when i went to sleep last night, i was shivering but i was under the covers. AC was on low.

plz help

i also feel like my legs are week
i am only 12
i am not throwing up. there is a pain on my chest.
no fever either

(sorry for the added notes)

Answer
BABY YOU NEED TO GO SEE A DOCTOR

YOU MIGHT NEED-- Oxygen therapy is a way to increase the amount of oxygen in the lungs and the bloodstream. It is sometimes used for people with diseases that make it hard to breathe, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, or heart failure. Oxygen therapy can make it easier to breathe and reduce the heartâs workload.

Some people need extra oxygen all the time. Others need it from time to time throughout the day or overnight. A doctor will prescribe how much oxygen you need, based on blood tests. He or she will tell you how much oxygen to use per minute (flow rate) and how often to use it.

why is my breathing so much...?

Mommy to K

heavier now that I am pregnant. I never used to hear myself breathe but now that is what is happening. Listening to myself breathe lol

Answer
Your body works a little harder when carrying a baby. This can make you breath harder, also the baby's position matters as well. The baby can push on your diaphram and make you breath harder or feel like it is harder to breath.

Baby rat making noise--Normal or not?

a6385u

I just bought a baby rat and I'm concerned about some noises he makes. He makes some noises when he breaths..like little squeaky noises...but they're only audible when he in sitting on my shoulder near my ear. Also, when he is in his cage, he makes a sound like a sneeze, but it doesn't happen when he is outside the cage. It isn't a constant noise, but does happen more than twice a day. I bought a pack of bedding at Weis that had "Rat" on the list of animals suitable for using the bedding, so I wonder if the bedding is the culprit if it is listed at a rat-compatible bedding. I am currently in a living arrangement in which 2 smokers live with me on the weekends. I had thought that the smoke had something to do with it, but he is still making the noise. Should I move the cage outside on the weekends as long as I keep it in the shade? He is in a glass cage now since he might fit through the wires on a wire cage, as instructed by the pet store. Is this noise normal or should I be concerned?
Also, will having a pet rat attract wild rats into the house? We had problems with rats earlier, and I wonder if we might have them again.
There is no drainage of the eyes or whatever else might drain when a rat is very sick. He is very lively when he is awake. I also want to feed him a good diet, but am having a hard time finding "rat" food. Is there some other rodent food I could use as a substitute, like hamster or guinnea pig food?

Answer
Normal rats do not make noise when they breathe, and usually don't make much noise at all unless they are in pain or play-fighting with another rat. It sounds like your rat has the beginnings of a respiratory infection. Nothing much to worry about at this point, but it can quickly get worse if things do not improve.

I don't know what kind of bedding you are talking about, but pine as well as cedar are not good for rats. Recycled paper products such as Carefresh and Yesterdays News are acceptable, as well as aspen wood.

Your glass cage may also be exacerbating things. The glass walls don't allow proper ventilation and urine odors can quickly build up and add to the irritation in the lungs. If he is only in there because he will fit through the bars of a wire cage, make sure you clean it every 2 days at least. No matter the size of the rat, they won't fit through the bars on a cage with 1/2" bar spacing.

The smoke could definitely be bothering him. Rats have very sensitive respiratory systems and anything like that in the air can set off an infection. Rats have a bacteria called mycoplasma pulmonis which is normally kept in check but when the rat is stressed by illness or other factors this bacteria can overgrow and cause a respiratory infection. At this stage your rat doesn't seem too dire, so a round of antibiotics will probably fix him right up. You'll have to take him to a vet for an exam to receive the proper drug and dosage.

Having him around won't attract wild rats, the only thing that does is having food accessible for them. If your food is up and out of the way and cannot be accessed easily you shouldn't get any wild rats coming in to the house.

There really is no substitute for rat food, I'm afraid. You'll want a good quality lab block where the first ingredient isn't corn and the protein content isn't too high. If you are in the United States, you can order several different good quality brands over the internet such as Harlan Teklad, Oxbow Regal Rat, and Mazuri (I don't have the links right now but if you do a google search you should be able to find them). I can't afford the shipping on Harlan myself but I buy a 25lb bag of Mazuri for $30 including shipping and it lasts me forever.

I hope that helps you, good luck with your rat!

Baby Cockatiel is constantly making noise?

Epitaph

I have this baby cockatiel that is about 2 months old and he (or she) keeps making this noise: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=oi6p7c&s=3

what does this mean? I've only had it for less than a week. Also, they told me to feed it the baby food the previous owners kept feeding it, but it doesn't eat it, instead it goes for adult food but doesn't eat much of that anyway, it just starts eating these little pellet things we have in the bottom of the cage to keep the poop when it falls from smelling bad. Also, it doesn't drink water. How do i help this?
by baby food I mean this yellowish powder you mix with lukewarm water. I really don't know what its called.

Answer
Hi. It looks to me like your baby cockatiel wants to be fed. The bobbing and whining are typical begging behavior for a baby bird. Did you get him/her from a breeder? I think you need to contact the breeder/person you got it from. What else do you have to feed it other than 'baby food'. What is the baby food?

Sounds like what you have is baby bird formula. Formula needs to be warm but not hot. You really need a food thermometer to get the right temperature. You should do your own research on the right temperature as I am not a breeder or experienced hand feeder and I absolutely don't want to give you bad information. You can try spoon feeding. If you have not hand fed with a syringe before or been properly trained I don't recommend it as it can be tricky and if you do it wrong you can injure or even kill the baby bird. (formula can get in the baby birds lungs). That's why I say try to use a spoon. A baby bird usually won't touch cold formula. If it is too hot it can burn them. I would really recommend contacting whoever you got the bird from. Sometimes when baby birds are under stress they revert back to wanting to be hand fed. If you have formula then the baby probably still requires formula and the baby is in jeopardy if you aren't trained to feed it properly. Please call whoever you got the bird from and see if they will continue to hand feed or show you how to do it properly. Good Luck.

do rabbits make noises?like ....eekkkk or somtin?

BonBon

do they ?and how

Answer
Hi!

Rabbits generally don't make noises,they will thump their feet,in fear,annoyance or even when excited! And they do make a few vocal noises:

Deep Grunting/Purring; Uneutered Males will make grunting noises when with a female,often when circling the female,courting behavior. Or even with their owners!

Honking; A soft honking noise can be heard when the rabbit is relaxed.

Cooing; Dwarf Does(females) sometimes make a very quite cooing noise to their babies(Kits).

Whimpering; Often heard by uneutered Does(Females) when pregnant or when they want to be left alone,normally done to the Buck(Male).

Soft Teeth Grinding: Relaxed.

Loud & Harsh Teeth Grinding; Severe pain,often when they aren't long for this world.

Screaming; This should N E V E R be heard,a rabbit will make this noise when is SEVERE pain & discomfort.

Growling/hissing; Angry & annoyed,leave the rabbit alone to calm down if s/he is doing this. Otherwise a sharp nip might come your way!

Most are Vocal,some are made by the teeth & feet.

Hope this helps! xxx

How do I make Baby Food?

Answer
Making Homemade Baby Food
By Dawn Lloyd (www.babyuniversity.com)

Making your own baby food gives you the distinct advantage of controlling what goes into your babyâs sensitive tummy. You determine how much, if any, sugar and spices your baby gets. Even when found on sale for as low as 50 cents per jar, producing your own is a much less expensive alternative to ready made.

Making baby food is actually very simple with a few simple tools: a blender, food processor, baby food grinder or similar machine, a steamer or boiling pot, ice cube trays, and a few minutes of your time. As with jarred baby food, begin slowly, introducing only one new fruit or vegetable per week. Be sure to watch for any signs of an allergic reaction. Start with the least acidic of the fruits, such as apples, pears, and bananas.

If you would like to prepare your own baby food, follow these basic tips:

Fruits and Vegetables

Wash fresh fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove any chemical residue.
Steam or boil your babyâs favorite fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables until mushy.
Use fresh fruits and veggies for the most nutritional value, frozen next, and canned as a last option.
If you use canned veggies, be sure to use the "No Salt" versions.
Use little or no spice.
PurÃ©e the fruits or vegetables very well for smaller infants, or leave a bit coarser for older ones.
For variety, mix two fruits together.
If these are the first foods you are feeding your infant, you may even want to strain the pureed fruit. You can purchase an inexpensive baby food maker that does this for you.
Spoon purÃ©ed food into ice-cube trays and cover with plastic wrap. Freeze. At meal time, simply pop out a few cubes of food and allow to thaw to room temperature or defrost in the microwave for a few seconds. You can make weeks worth of meals at a time!
A few suggested fruits and veggies to begin with:
Apples
Bananas
Pears
Peaches
Plums
Potatoes (mash with water, formula or breast milk)
Peas
Carrots
Sweet Potatoes
Butternut Squash
Desserts/Treats

Make your own Ambrosia by mixing a few fruits together, such as strawberries and bananas. Be creative! However, only use fruits which baby has already tried and shown no allergic reaction towards.
For older babies, mix plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt with their favorite fruits.
Freeze babyâs favorite juice in ice cube trays. Mush up and let baby eat with a spoon for a frozen treat! This one is great for those terrible teething days.

Meals

As baby gets older, you can also purÃ©e dishes that you fix for the rest of the family such as: macaroni and cheese, spaghetti well cooked, chicken and ham. Freeze in ice cube trays similar to the fruits and vegetables.

Be sure when thawing meat dishes that you allow them to thaw in the refrigerator or defrost in the microwave to prevent the risk of E-coli bacteria forming.

Organic snacks and easy to make meals?

I want to eat a little more healthy, and am looking to buy more organic products. What are some common organic snacks? (e.g. pita chips with hummus, cheddar bunnies... etc.) I'm not too into bars, like the cliff bars or whatever they are called.

Also, what are easy meals or more filling options? I don't cook to well, so nothing too complicated. Preferably stuff as easy to make as mac 'n cheese and organic oatmeal.
Thanks!

Answer
You can just try making your snacks using organic ingredients, same with your meals.
Whole Foods Market has some amazing nutrition information, recipes, tips, etc.

http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/values/building-blocks.php

For meals choose things that are whole grain, vegetables and fruits, protein like eggs, fish, nuts/seeds, some dairy, soy, etc. For example, make pasta with whole grain or brown rice noodles topped with basil pesto sauce or tomato sauce, add baby spinach, some goat cheese and serve with a bowl full of steamed vegetables like kale, broccoli and sliced carrot (with some balsamic vinaigrette or olive oil) or a salad - cherry tomatoes, baby mixed greens/baby romaine or romaine lettuce, cucumber, dressing, dried cranberries, nuts, etc. For oatmeal, you could try toppings like nut butter, nuts, berries/fruit, a milk you like or yogurt, jam, honey, agave, maple syrup, dried blueberries/cranberries/cherries, etc.

Can I become pregnant if I had unprotected sex the day before my period started?

Renesmee

You see I have been really stressed and I totally spaced on taking my birth control for four days straight and I had unprotected sex on the fourth day. I'm right in the middle of my pills where I'm supposed to be ovulating but because I missed those pills I started my period over a week early. Could I still get pregnant even though I started my period the day after? Thank you for your time.

Answer
yes you can get pregnant because it was the day before your period the same with getting pregnant on your period it is all possible.......even if he didnt cum in you, you can still get pregnant from precum and that is no joke.......and you have to wait at least a month to test to be pregnant.....believe me i had that happen to me where i tested two weeks later and it said i wasnt.....then i tested about three weeks later and guess what i am due august 23rd......wait about a month and test and if it is negative then you are in the clear.....my cousin and my aunt had there actual period all through out there pregnancies so it is possible to have a period while pregnant.....

Can you get pregnant the day before you period?

Elisabeth

If you have sex one day and there was no ejaculation, ( I know there is a possibility of precum and pregnancy) and the next you had your period as normal, is there a chance of getting pregnant?

Wouldn't the uterine lining shed and if there were any traveling sperm, be killed and come out with the period?

Answer
If there was no ejaculation and you got your period as normal then its highly unlikely you are pregnant.

There is only one 24hr period in your cycle you can get pregnant and this is around ovulation..if you want to get pregnant have unprotected sex 7 days before and after ovulation..which is usually in the middle of your cycle approx 14 days from the 1st day of your period if you have a 28 day cycle.

If you dont want a baby use contraception

How common is it to get pregnant right after giving birth?

Jennifer W

OK this is the deal, I don't want you to tell me how stupid I am, or irresponsible I am, you won't be telling me anything i don't already know. What I want to know is how common it is to get pregnant after giving birth and how soon would you know? I have just given birth to my baby girl 5 weeks ago, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend, and he came in me twice. It just kinda happened, like I said don't tell me how stupid that was, I know!!! How likely is it that I could be pregnant again? and how soon will I know? I am a first time mother, and am not sure on everything. I have been looking around and can't find any info that makes sense. I have my 6 week follow up on Friday, should I know by then? Any info would be helpful.

Answer
It is highly likely to get pregnant again after having given birth, because you're so open. my sister-in- law gave birth to a beautiful girl, had unprotected sex (they didn't know it would be so easy to get pregnant again) and 10 months later, they had twins. i don't think you'll know by your 6 week check up, because you still have hormones swilling around in you. also, if you're breastfeeding, your chances of getting pregnant again are slim....but still, there's no telling other than to wait it out. good luck!

Can i get pregnant.....?

siqqq6

my boyfriend precame in my last night and this morning we did it again but he fully ejaculated inside of me
if i do get pregnant will this cause me to just have one child or two ? since it was twice

Answer
Typically you only have one egg at a time that is fertilized and ready to become a baby, so (in most cases) if you got pregnant you should only have one kid. There are some instances (again it's not common) where you may have two fertile eggs at once, in which case that would cause you to have twins, but again that's not super common. Having sex twice doesn't mean you're likely to have two kids, it just increases your chances of having one kid.

"Boolprop testingcheatsenabled true" then you shift click on the pregnant mom and choose "Tombestone of L and D" and then click on it and choose "force twins".

All of it works until I want to click force twins, there is no option of "Force Twins".

Any help?
Or other GUARATEED cheats??
Thanks =D
xx
I have The Sims 2 on an Apple Mac too, if that helps.

does this cheat actually work?:
"twinsaretwocute"

Thanks

Answer
The twinsr2cute cheats do NOT work! They were rumours started when people wanted a cheat for twins.

The boolprop cheat also doesn't exist.

Exiting the lot before birth and entering also doesn't work because twins are determined when they are conceived.

The only sure way to get twins is if you have Open for business. The expansion pack comes with a cheat "forcetwins" which you can enter during pregnancy. Or you can make cheesecake and have the pregnant mother eat it anytime during pregnancy.

If you don't have OFB then you can get a hack that let's you choose whether you want one child, twins, triplets, or quads! Or generates randomly.

Have fun ^__^

ok so the sims 2 twins?

Q. how do you know when your pregnant with twins?
not from cheats, from like cheese cake or cookies or whatever it is that you use.lol
when you go in to maternity how do you know if it worked????

Answer
you never quite know when they will have twins, just if they are pregnant or not after some woohoo. But I don't think the cheese cake and cookie thing works, lol ive tried it in the game and i always had a single sim birth. No worries though, twins do sometimes happen!! Good luck when you get them to toddler stage lol cause it made me hate twins forever ;P

Question: Does Having His Baby Make Him Stay?

Mia

i'm 17 and I dont get it?? i hear about girls ALL the time that say they want to have their boyfriends baby to make them stay...yeah some guys feel like they have to stay, but sadly in my opinion most guys would stay for the BABY not for necessarily for YOU. and its sad i think girls should want to be with a guy that wants to be with them for them and not because of a baby, but thats just my opinion...can someone please answer this question for me.

Answer
No, having a baby doesn't make the guy stay around. If your relationship is rocky already, having a baby is the worst thing you could do. A baby is a HUGE responsibility and involves a lot of time and attention. That adds a lot of stress and strain to a relationship. If things are already not going well, the extra stress of having a baby will probably break it completely. In a solid, healthy relationship, having a baby can bring the couple closer together, but only if their relationship is already strong enough to cope with the stress and responsibility of raising a child. If the girl is worried about her bf leaving... that should be a neon warning sign saying it is NOT a good time to get pregnant.

There are some guys out there who will take the responsibility of being a father seriously enough to stick around because of a child. Most of those guys are also smart enough not to get a girl pregnant in the first place. A guy who is careless or stupid enough to get a girl pregnant when their relationship isn't going well anyway... that guy probably isn't going to stick around for a baby, he'll be outta there and on to the next girl who doesn't come with so much responsibility.

Question About Making Baby Food?

Are there any good sites out there about making baby food?

I can't imagine giving him the store bought stuff but do not have the first idea on how to make it. My son is only a few weeks so I have a little time.

Whats a good way to store it? How long can it stayed stored?

Do frozen fruits and vegetables work at all? Or only fresh? I know frozen will not be as tasty to baby, but I am on a budget and am very determined to make my own baby food.

Do you usually add stuff to it? Like are there recipes and such?

I know I sound clueless, but I guess I am haha.

Answer
Wholesome baby foods is a great site.

I also love a book you can probably pick up at your local library called Super Baby Food by Yaron--it's a fantastic reference.

You know, have you heard of baby-led weaning? It's even easier than making baby food purees. Basically, purees are a holdover from when we used to shovel purees down the throats of 2 month olds. Obviously, we know better now. A baby is ready for solids when they can pick up sold food and put it in their own mouth--usually around 6 months.

That's why with my second son we immediately went to table foods. His first food were sweet potatoes he swiped from my plateat 7.5 months of age. He eats what we eat: all kinds of veggies (bell peppers, carrots, potatoes,) fruits (pears, peaches, avocados,) beans, lentils, rice, pasta, soft meats, hummus, you name it. If you think about it, this was the way babies *used* to eat, before the baby food industry convinced us otherwise.

I'll link more info below, you might find the process very interesting.

It is NOT possible, even by "dripping" to get pregnant through anal intercourse.

Even through vaginal intercourse it is extremely unlikely to get get knocked up six days before your period.

Can I get pregnant 5- 6 days before my period?

mary

I has sex but not all the way if you know what I mean. We did not finish, it was just the beginning and I was very wet. So I thought he was done, and that he had finished in me. Wich he said no that it was just me. But anyways... My period was suppossed to come on this month. On the 18, and we ( my ex and I) (yeah I know, I very sorry) had sex on the 13 of the same month but we did not go all the way through with the proccess becasue I got scared. So now, I haven't gotten a period, wich would mean that I'm pregnant from my current boyfriend. I went to get a preg. test and it was negative. So it means that I'm not pregnant from my current boyfriend. So whay havent I gotten a period. Could it be that I'm just so nervous, of what I did with my ex? Could I be NOW pregnant from my ex? He said that he did not finish, that I did not even give him time. So please help me out. I did not want to ask my Dr. Thanks so much.
WHEN I WENT TO GET A PREG. TEST THEY ALSO DID A PAPSMEAR AND MY DR. SAID THAT SHE COULD TELL I WOULD GET A PERIOD SO SOON. BUT NOT NOTHING YET. I 'M JUST SO STRESSED OUT. I PROMISE I WONT DO THIS AGAIN.
PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, I'VE ONLY HAD SEX WITH MY CURRENT BOYFRIEND AND WITH MY EX I HAD NEVER HAD SEX UNTIL THAT DAY.

Answer
Normally you would no longer be fertile 5 or 6 days before your period. Most women ovulate 12-16 days before their period and the egg lives only about a day (you are actually most fertile in the days leading up to ovulation because sperm have a longer life span.) By the time you are 5 or 6 days from your period, the egg is no longer viable.

HOWEVER, you kind of have to have a crystal ball to know that your period is actually coming in 5 or 6 days. Any number of things, from stress to illness to travel can delay your ovulation and delayed ovulation leads to a delayed period. If you don't know this is happening (which you won't unless you're using some method of predicting ovulation) then you can easily wind up pregnant from sex you had during a time you thought was safe.

Since your doc seems to be sure your period's about to start, try to relax and not worry about it. And next time, instead of gambling that any particular time of the month is safe, use protection!

Baby Faced Boy?

gamingod

hey im 14 and have a baby face n girls well apart from maybe laugh and snicker i dont get nothing ive had life 3 girls in my life my mum keeps saying it will go away when im about 16 but in abit scared it wont it's like im a cool guy in a babys body if i had 'the looks' id be no problem so will it go away? or do i have to make it

Answer
When you're young it seems like it's a curse. But Trust Me- Don't try to look older.

I've always had a baby face, and when l was younger it was hard to find a girl until high school. Then I had plenty!

After you graduate and hit your 10 yr High school reunion, you'll go back and people will tell you how great you look, and many of them will look 45-50, while you look 20!

Don't rush it. If you want, try to grow some facial hair, but don't push things. Let time take it's turn at things... it will work out!

Does your baby/tot get scared when you make scary faces?

chichibaby

I was playing around with my 15 month old and I started making funny/scary faces and he got scared and started crying. It was funny and cute at the same time but I stopped bc I didn't want him to be afraid. I just thought it was weird that he got so frightened when he sees me all the time and I don't think my funny/scary faces look that bad. Is this normal? Has your baby ever done this before?
Yup bandaid, I'm definately not normal, I don't know what kind of mother I am! Shame on me for playing with my son. I guess you better call CPS now..

Answer
My baby gets scared when I blow my nose. He is 5 months old now and has always been like that. His bottom lip starts to quiver and I pick him up (after washing my hands of course). It is kind of funny.
