A pregnant women not supposed to eat lobster or shellfish? I hadn't heard this and I was curious

I can't remember where I heard the 6 month thing at the moment.  I don't know if all the SPCAs are the same, but at this one you can adopt a cat for $50, but that includes at least some shots, "fixing" if you go to one of their participating vets, and a micro chip.

I know more women who cheat than the other way around, and the difference is that no one knows about it unless THEY tell them.

Then one night he ate some shrimp and his tongue swelled and his face swelled and he broke out in hives.  It was horrible.

Now he can't even walk by a boiling lobster pot without having a reaction.

But nobody ever knew until he ate that shrimp and he had never had a problem with it before.

So you never know.

also love shrimp scampi or chicken, ziti, broc! Basically any type of pasta dish!

age (especially this woman) prefer indoor plumbing and a bit of privacy rather than using a port-a-potty.   I met a woman recently, she and her husband built the house behind me.  She is also a master mechanic and does landscaping, all traditional male professions.  She is a bit rough around the edges and I would never have pictured her with the man who is her husband. 

I know a few male MTs and if they aren't gay, they missed a good chance. 

I became pregnant when I was 16.  I was told by my family "you will have an abortion" when the initial shock hit.  Then, I was told "you will put the baby up for adoption."  I went with my ex-boyfriend (who is now my husband going on 10 years and our child is 12) to talk to a co-worker of his who had an abortion - she said DON"T DO IT!  I was made to look through family profiles to consider for adoption.  Then when I finally stood up for myself and said wait a minute - THIS IS MY CHOICE, I was taken to talk to my minister to talk me out of keeping the baby.  His words were "God has given you this gift and has a purpose for this baby, do what is in your heart."   Needless to say, I didn't give it a second thought and decided to raise my child.  I did so with the support of my family realizing they had been wrong to judge me and try to make my decisions for me, also with the support of the birth father (now my husband and we have a 2nd child too).  I beat the odds, I finished high-school, went to 2 year community college and got a very good job.  When our son was 2, I was 18 and husband was 20 - we decided that we wanted to be together, we had grown up and 6 months later got married. 

My advice to anyone who finds theirselves in this situation is "do what is in your heart" and do not listen to other peoples opinions, judgements, etc.  The decision she makes for her and her child is between her and her God if she chooses to ask him to help her with her decision.  If she choses abortion, that is her right (I am a Pro-Choice Christian).  I do feel abortion is wrong, but no more a sin than any other as God sees sin as sin, not at different levels.  I would hope your niece would choose the option that is right for her, hopefully adoption or raising it herself if she wants and thinks she can do it.  What she needs now is support from her family, not criticism or judgement - whether you agree with her decisions or not.

Just my 2 cents, having been there and having assessed all angles myself and now knowing what its like to be in those shoes

Okay, I have a total non-work related problem that I need some feed back on.

I am 1 day late on my period, (my periods are usually right on time), and I took a home pregnancy test and there was a very faint line. So, I went to the store to get one of the digital ones, because they tell you "PREGNANT" or "NOT PREGNANT".  Well, it says "not pregnant", but then I ejected the stick out and there is a pretty bright, while still a little faint, blue line. The ClearBlue Easy website says if there is any line at all, faint or not, then you are pregnant.

I am just confused. We have been trying for months now and I just want to know. I guess I will find out sooner or later, but if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!

THANKS!!

I am really, really tired at this point.  I have a 2-1/2 year-old that goes to the babysitter for 4-5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and home with me on Friday.  I get started at 6 a.m. when I am most functional and my production is the highest and work until 9 a.m.  After dropping my daughter off at the babysitter I get back to work for about 4-5 hours.  I find myself having to take naps during the day whereas I did not with my daughter.

I try to work extra when I can to help make up for my decrease in production.  Also, we both are in the bed at night by 8:30 p.m. just relaxing and watching television; therefore, I feel much more refreshed in the morning.

I thought I went back early with my daughter at 3 weeks, but you have me beat.  I do plan on going back at 5 weeks after having this baby, but we will see.  Not sure how I will manage with a newborn.  By the way, I also work 2 jobs, but I find myself doing very little production on my second job if I work at all on most days, just cannot get it done.
