18 years old, mum found my contraeptive pill and is making a big deal out of it, what are my rights?

She came into my room while I was still in bed and I always keep the pills beside my bed as I take them early in the morning and then hide them in my drawer during the day. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and I love him very much and she knows about him and is ok with it. I am 18, going into second year of college and live away from home while im away at college. When she saw the box of pills, i quickly grabbed them. She demaded to know if they were contracepive pills and I told her they were. She said to me then ”I cant believe you, Can you not save yourself?” I have saved my self for someone who I eally love, which is my boyfriend, She then told my dad and I got very upset about it, those pills were my business and no one elses, and its bad enough that shes told my dad because hes a man and he doesnt need to a womans business like that. I feel very strongly about keepin my private business like that to myself and feel very violated now, was my mum right to go mad at me just because Im being safe and using condoms aswell??!! I seriously dont understand it, if i found out my daughter was on the pill, I would pat her on the back and say fairlplay to ya for being safe, I thought my mum would have been a bit more happy for me??!! lets face it, havin sex is a natural part of growing up, and yes I do understand the consequences and I do know im always risking pregnancy, but I take my pills perfectly so I know im very safe. I also went on the pill as I have got acne which is now cleared up thankfully and also I want ed my perods to be very regular, which has worked……..please help?? surely I have a right to privacy??!!

1 Month Old Vomitting?

Hello,

I just recently had a baby boy born on February 6th, 09.
I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy, in fact in went so well I didn’t even think the whole process was even that bad. I had a natural birth and he was born 6 lbs, 10 oz.
For the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed that he has started to vomitting starting at once a day, then 2-3 times to every feeding.

He has no other symptoms, no fever, no cold or virus, no change in activity, feeds perfectly well and so on and so forth. When I took him to the doctors when this first happened she pressed on his tummy and examinied him and found nothing. She weighted him and he was then 7 lbs, 5 oz… so since there was nothing visibly wrong with him, she switched him from Similac Advance (what he was first on) to Similac Senstive.

That has done nothing.
Since that first doctors visit I’ve had him at the hospital and even emergency because I have been so concered with his vomitting. He vomites what looks like to me twice as much what he takes in. The last doctors visit, a few days ago, it showed that he was 7 lbs 5 oz… he didn’t lose or gain any weight.

I’ve tried giving him less formula more frequently.
I WAS giving him: 80ml every 3-4 hours.. NOW: 30ml-40ml every 1-2 hours.

I’ve heard that this is just reflux and there is nothing I can do about it and he will just have to grow out of it. Of course I am a worried parent and want to know all I can know before I just accept that he will be vomitting every feeding.

Nothing is working!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help this?
Any advice? Tips?
Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks!
Brittany.
yes, i know it is vomiting for a fact.
it went from more of spit up to now projectile vomit.

also, he tends to cough up thick, clear mucus-like substance. i know he has has a cold the last couple of days, so that might be from that, or is it something else?

also, i have noticed he sleeps for a lot longer now. i don’t know if that’s because he’s getting older, so he’s sleeping longer… or something else?

My cat is acting VERY out of character?

My husband’s cat is about 14 years old, and has been acting very peculiar lately. Normally all she does it eat, sleep and poop, but lately shes been scratching my walls, attacking the door, she leaked some kind of liquid into my husbands laptop case, she did the “booty scooty” on the laptop case and this is just not her! She never plays or does any of this behavior before.

Asides from cats knowing when natural disasters are coming or sensing things like pregnancy, what else could this mean? Idk if we should take her to the vet or not =/
I should also add that she is fixed and when I called my mother in law to ask if possibly she could be in heat, she said it was impossible, so that rules out that scenario =/

Implementation Bleeding when to test?

Hi & Thank You for your Time & Answers
If you dont want to read it all..
MY QUESTIONs… you dont have to answer all of them…

1- How long after implementatin bleeding should I take a preg. test

2- Will my HcG levels be up still from the miscarriage? Its been 4 weeks & I was 7wks along.

3- What would you do, take the test or not? Any Advise?

More details…
I have not had a period in months so I cant take a pregnancy test based off of an expected menstral cycle.

Im breastfeeding 4 times a day my 13 month old son.
I had my first miscarriage (natural…no DnC) on Jan 15th.
The Dr’s said I was about 7 weeks along.

Started regular marital intercourse on the 25th.
Noticed brown bloody discharge (sign of old blood) yesterday.

I dont think its related to the miscarriage becasue that was a month ago.
I think its implementation bleeding because it has stopped.

Im debating taking a preg test now for a few reasons..

It may be posative from the HcG levels from the previous pregnancy
& I dont want to get my hopes up… or emotions in a twist

BUT if I AM pregnant I want to know asap so that I can take it as easy as possable
(Im about to start a job which I can work at home or at an office but I need to tell my boss what to expect me to do.. I was planning 3-4 days at the office but honestly If Im preg I dont want to risk it…

Also..
Before my previous preg. my cycle was normal so becasue it’s been a month since the misc…
Should I expect a period by now?

Thank You
I appreciate your Time & Answers
