If she has been at home with you until this point then she might just be overwhelmed at the major change in her life. If she's been in the same daycare, then there may have been an incident that...

Dollar stores have very reliable tests for only $1 each.

It took me 16 months of sleepless nights before I finally put my foot down about night waking, so I feel your pain.

What finally worked for us is...

I put his crib in another room and no...

Well let us know how things go... good luck!

With all that's going on, kids, hubby's bithday party, etc. you might just be stressed. (Doesn't automatically sound like pregnancy since your husband had a vasectomy.) Give it another week, if...

Did you actually read the thread?

I would strongly suggest treating your body as if you are pregnant until you find out for sure that you're not. So the wine would be off limits.

In the meantime, if you're really concerned, ask...

Is there a chance that the person who threw the shower could have overlooked you?

I would visit mom and baby sans gift, maybe bring a casserole or something small. If you feel the need, maybe...

The only way you can guarantee the sex of your child is to adopt.

I can certainly understand having a preference and desiring a certain sex. (Girls scare me so I would be happy with all boys.)...

You know the rubber band trick with the jeans right? (Using a rubber band to bridge the gap at the button... it's comfier if you use a hair band instead of a rubber band though.)

Good luck with that... second pregnancies are usually obvious a lot sooner... :D

I didn't have an actual bump until I was about 5 months... until then it was pretty much just bloating. I'm 5ft7 and I have a medium to long torso.

It's not necessarily your height that makes the...

As in your periods are no longer coming according to your usual schedule? And you're having breakthrough bleeding?

What exactly are you experiencing?

Well, even though it bothers us, it doesn't really matter whether it's a good thing to do or not because it's not our baby. I know I wouldn't do it and if it was my sister or a close friend doing it...

Well, I am very sorry that your dad was so jipped on the grandchild front. That is such a shame. But at least he has a daughter that loves him so dearly. And you never know, with a little bit of...

Had to spread the rep... but that was dead on.

Of course the husband is going to withdraw, (normal) men do not persist where they can tell they're unwanted.

What state are you in? Since you didn't respond to the initial petition (that's why you're in default) you don't get much input on how things will proceed from here. I would suggest talking to a...

I think it's highly inappropriate that you both discuss your marriage with your children. They shouldn't have to deal with such adult issues as adolescents.

If you do leave your husband, which it...

I second what J_9 said. I'll just add this...

If you stopped bleeding just three weeks ago then your period might return as early as one week from now. And especially since you're not...

I just wanted to reinforce that bleeding during pregnancy is not to be ignored. Anytime there is blood after a confirmed pregancy, a call needs to be placed to your doctor. Some women do bleed...

Life doesn't end just because you have a child so don't jump to conclusions about never being wanted again since you have a child. But that child should be your focus. It sounds like you live at home...

If you're in the US, I suggest picking up some tests from your local dollar store. They're highly sensitive to low levels of HCG. I actually got a positive with one of them at 9 days post ovulation,...

If your period was anticipated on Jan 25, you'd only be roughly 6 weeks pregnant and that's too early to feel movement. But if you really feel that you're pregnant, you should certainly call your...

That sounds like it's exactly that. He's still attached to her. Keep in mind that he hadn't been gone for long when you two got together. There are still going to be feelings there. But now that...

Try a couple nights of Benadryl. Or there's a Tylenol sleep aid that supposed to be non-addictive. I can't remember it's name (Simply Sleep?) but check the over the counter sleep aids at the drug...

That isn't enough information to truly know if you're pregnant. Is your period late? If so, I would suggest taking a test with your first morning urine.

You're married but have never consummated the marriage? How has that happened?

Implantation doesn't even occur for roughly 3 days after intercourse and fertilization. So basically, even if you conceived from that coupling, you would just have a fertilized egg travelling to your...

Have to spread the reputation points, but I agree completely. (As usual :D )

My grandmother literally starved herself during pregnancy and still gained about 35 pounds during her only pregnancy....

Wait a few days, if you're more than a couple days late, take a home pregnancy test with your first morning urine. If you're still getting negative tests and there is no sign of your period in a week...

If you're going to school and working, you might just have too much on your plate right now for conception. Wait a while, finish up school, get married, enjoy spending time alone with your partner,...

Don't pig out. It'll just make you feel worse. Just eat healthy and if you have a sweets craving, have a scoop of ice cream instead of a bowl. You're only supposed to consume like 200-300 calories...

Go to the 99 Cent Store or Dollar Tree... all the dollar stores have pregnancy tests for $1 and they're actually highly accurate and sensitive to low levels of HCG.

There's a chance that your...

If you went for a yearly gyno check up and had a pap and the works, your dr would have noticed a pregnancy.

Good for you for being so safe. Neither condoms nor the pill are 100% safe, but by...

Anytime there's intercourse, there's a chance of pregnancy. But I have a hunch that you're just stressed and overwhelmed.

Doula is right. Give it a week after your anticipated period, if you...

Unisom was my best friend when I was pregnant - it was given to me for nausea and just happened to give me the only sleep I had during my pregnancy. ;)

Get as much sleep as possible. Don't feel...

Go on Amazon.com and get the book, Bad Childhood, Good Life by Dr. Laura.

I had a lot of rough knocks in the family department too and it's hard to feel secure in relationships when you've never...

Do you have very regular periods? If so, it's not likely. But there's a chance you could have ovulated late and therefore would have another five days before you'll know for sure from a home...

Do you have a regular 28 day cycle?

Figuring out who fathered your child by the calendar is not very reliable. The only way to know for sure is with a DNA test.

You have a moral obligation to...

There is definitely a possibility that you're pregnant. The only way to know for sure is to test or call your doctor.

If you're not pregnant now and don't want to be in the near future, I would...

I second the advice on getting a lawyer's advice. This is a complicated situation and you're going to need representation.

I would also suggest that rather than living with a new man and trying to...

I can understand your desire to have and raise your son. But at this point I would strongly reevaluate the last sentence of your post. Your parents have been acting as his parents. So you're not...

There seems to always be an anecdotal story about someone who got pregnant in the same situation, no matter what that situation is.

If you are determined to get pregnant, you should see a doctor...

I think you might be in over your head. And I would strongly discourage having a child with someone that is OK with breaking up and getting back together with you at his own convenience. If he'll do...

Is there a particular reason you want to wean at this time? The breastmilk is very beneficial and especially during that first year, needed. If you don't breastfeed you'll have to switch over to...

Good idea. Eating tiny meals throughout the day will help with the nausea. I noticed that when my blood sugar dropped, my nausea got worse.

Be careful with the reverse psychology. I ran away at 17 and my mom was advised to try it on me. I stayed gone and only started talking to her again two years later when I was getting married.

I...

J_9 is absolutely correct. You need to get her to counseling and keep her in it. You need to personally deliver her to the counselor's office for every appointment and not budge. Eventually, when she...

She is sixteen years old. You have two more years until everything she does is completely beyond your control. You need to step up and be the mother.

I strongly suggest military school or at...
