    If you took Plan B and got pregnant would it show up in urine tests?

    Your friend is wrong. Plan B is simply an excessive dose of birth control pills. If you have 2 pregnancy tests that are negative a month after your period was due, then you are not pregnant.

    My father-in-law came into the delivery room uninvited by parents!!! Has anyone

    You have no question. I understand your rant, but by not opening your mouth much earlier, you created the situation. Your wife approved when she was given the opportunity to have him barred. Get over it. Maybe this situation will give you two more backbone to advocate for yourselves in future.

    Breathing in primer and painting a room at 12 weeks pregnant?

    Sorry, but in the first trimester, I think it is a HUGE mistake to be painting while pregnant. Let someone else do it, let it air out and then go into the room. If it were the last trimester, and the room well aired, I would say, sure go for it.

    Does the flash of a digital camera really hurt there eyes?

    Yep, they hurt. Instead of the flash, bring the baby over by a window, use white paper on cardboard to get more reflective light near her face.

    What do art majors like for gifts?

    Depends on what she does. My guy is a painter and I made him a cloth holder for his brushes (it is similar to those cloth roll up things for knitting needles). How about some art equipment. A rack for supplies. See Dick Blick for some other ideas.

    will my body ever go back to how it was pre-pregnancy?

    The skin can take up to a year to recover. But the fact is, no you will probably never be what you were before pregnancy. Many women have permanently wider hips after a birth. To lose that last 5-10 pounds, you will have to cut your food back. It's either exercise or no junk food or less...

    Is there a website where I can rant anonymously?

    Nope. Sorry. The only anonymous rant site available is the WordPad program on your computer. Type in your rant, then delete it. Anything else can be traced, tracked or resurrected.

    Steps to getting into a good university? (mini-rant included)?

    Yes, you can get into a good university with a B average. Not a great university, however, unless you have fab scores on your SAT. If you can't get into the university of your choice, attend another place in your freshman year and apply to transfer. For a transfer, the university only looks...

    Do you think it's weird to give your baby a name from a culture or language...

    I don't think it's an issue, but it can be pretty weird depending on your last name. It's a complete nonproblem if you have a common name like Smith or Johnson.

    IS IT OK TO PAINT WHILE PREGNANT?

    While your doctor or other posters may say it is just fine, I say don't take the risk. Inhaling paint fumes is no different from huffing, IMHO, and you are taking an unnecessary risk. Heck, even not pregnant, I get dizzy and get nauseous from paint fumes. You KNOW that stuff is getting in...

    Limit on Paternity Tests?

    Yes, she would have to pay for a second one unless there is evidence or belief that he may have sent in a shill for his test . If the lab was poorly managed and many errors have been found usually the court will pay for the retest. My Mom's coworker was able to prove he was the victim of a lab...

    Why have i had 5pregnancy tests sayin positives, then doc said negitive?

    If you have a pregnancy test that says positive, you get a BLOOD test not a urine test at the doctor's offices. Wait a week and then go back to the doctor's and ask for a blood test.

    What do hospitals do with paternity tests?

    Nope. They aren't going to be sharing that info with you. However, he WILL get paperwork and he can show that to you. If he doesn't, he either didn't get the test done or he has been found to be the father.

    How accurate are doctor's pregnancy tests 24 days after i had unprotected sex?

    A blood test is much more accurate than any urine test.
