Need advice please, Pregnancy and Medical/ahcccs issues?
Sounds like you have an HMO and it's normal. You usually go in between 10-12 weeks preg. They do very little during these visits. I'm surprised you didn't get a breast exam and your stomach was not measured. What kind of "lecture" did you get? Sounds like not a good one. Did they prescribe pre-natal vitamins? Did they discuss what you should be eating, and what to avoid? BTW - with my 1st I had 1 ultrasound at 20 weeks and everything was fine. The only reason I had more ultrasounds with my 2nd was because I had problems (not showing big enough). My current pregnancy I have a PPO and I think that makes a difference, and I also had fertility problems so I've had numerous ultrasounds. And the ultrasound at 18-20 weeks is not to determine the sex of the baby. That's not why they do it. They perform that ultrasound to make sure all of the major organs are functioning and look OK (correct size, right place, etc.) and to date the pregnancy to confirm you are as far along as you think you are. Maybe you aren't overweight enough to be considered a high risk. Don't know. Find a new doctor if you don't like the way you were treated.

I am a high school student and I have trouble socializing with peers. I do very well with adults and even children. What is the deal?
Unlike some of the other answers here, I'm not going to pre-suppose that you're a mature, intelligent individual in a sea of ... miscreants. For all I know, the situation is exactly the reverse. I do know that the problem seems to show up more in 'only children', and seems more likely if their 'father' was a 'stay at home' Mom raising them. (But I won't ascribe that to you either, but express it because it's frequently the origin). Anyway, much of it may have to do with your demeanor, and/or the simple frequency you smile and say hello to others. If it appears you are pre-occupied, or (worst case) look pre-occupied with a black cloud following you... then your peers may prefer to leave you to your own directions. Another behavior, besides smiling, and saying Hi, is to remember other kids names, and use their names, in a venue in which you pay a compliment. You may have to work hard in some cases, to pay others a compliment,... that's a given; but the act pays big dividends. This lets them see that you 'pay attention'; and the world is not all about 'you.' Next: score some points with the opposite sex, they respond to all the above too, but also, your approach to them, should be the opposite of confrontational... meaning... you speak to them, but at the same time, have your body turned at a 90degrees to them, as if your about to take off somewhere else... and don't stare them in the eyes, stare either somewhere else, or their mouth, as if you're already having a confidential conversation. Simply listening to them is a big lift to their ego. If you're succeeding, you'll hear it in their voice, or their eyes may light-up. Easy conversations with the opposite sex will be seen as enviable by your peers... and it doesn't have to be the 'hottest' girls, just the nicest ones no matter what they look like.
Cat owners advice please?

My friend gave me the number of a woman I've never met. I want to give her a call but I don't know how to begin the conversation. What should I do?
I had that happen to me on occasion, and I occasionally gave a few numbers of girls to my friends and said they’d be interested in meeting.For me, it went something like this:I sent a text “Hey, a friend of mine gave me your number, said that you’d be interested in meeting new people. I’m Andy - are you hot? ;)”That may sound like a bad start, but I hate blind dates and I tend to instantly weed out girls who are too serious and get offended by stuff like this too easily. If she didn’t reply - nothing would be lost as I didn’t even know her to begin with.The reply was something like “Hey Andy, i’m blah blah, maybe, I might”Then I said “I kind of hate blind dates, so can you describe what you look like? I’m (and then proceeded to describe how I look, making a joke in the end about 3-eyed, crooked nose something weird)”She replied with a “Haha, you’re funny, I’m (and described how she looked)” and we proceeded to flirt a bit and I teased her about her looks and eventually said “Well that’s great, I’m kinda busy this week but we should definitely meet when we both have the time, my friend told me you’re a really fun person, and I can see that now!”And then we met after a while, had some fun, had sex, but didn’t really continue dating afterwards as we didn’t click on a more deeper level.So from my experience, you should make it funny, witty, something memorable - not boring, bland, meek - since you have nothing to lose anyway.And make sure you learn how she looks - you don’t wanna set yourself up for disappointment. Make an excuse that you hate blind dates or some other one.Good luck!
How can I convince myself to exercise every day?
Hi there!The answer is, you might not have to.With whatever areas we choose to pursue fulfillment in, the starting point is a goal. Fitness is certainly not exempt from this.As surprising as this may sound, I highly suggest to you that you introspect first and think about what your fitness goal(s) is/are. In addition to this, you will probably find it very helpful to lay out the WHY behind the goal(s).The reality is, you might not have to exercise every day in order to meet your fitness goal(s)!As I have seen mentioned on here, if you do end up needing to exercise every day to meet your goal(s), which is HIGHLY unlikely, then I recommend that you write down what you are aiming to accomplish for a given workout session.Following the session, you can take pride in the fact that you accomplished what you set out to do. If you were unable to accomplish what you set out to do, then you can make adjustments for your next session.Regardless, progress is universally exciting, and to know that you are working on things daily that move you closer to your desires (even if that means taking a day off) is very, very cool!Hope this helps!
Vibrato and or screamo?
Hi!! This may sound a bit weird, but I need help with 2 things: vibrato singing and scream singing (preferably fry) [yes, I do know you must scream from your diaphragm, but maybe I'm doing that wrong too]. I've been trying to teach myself these things but it's not working. I've tried youtube videos and tutorials. I think I need someone to show me. I've called a few voice teachers but they haven't gotten back to me JUST yet. Plus I'm impatient. I want to scream kind of like Lacey Mosley of Flyleaf here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsDGZan8XqA Not exactly, I know, but I'd love to be able to project a LOUD fry scream. As far as vbibrato goes, I can sing, just not vibrato (I'm in 3 choirs, 2 of which require an audition). Any advice on either or both topics would be great and much appreciated. If you need to show me my youtube account is "CAyesfan" where you can also hear me sing in a a couple of songs and/or leave a video response for either screaming/vibrato singing. Thanks!!
I failed JEE even after a drop, how do I learn the art of learning and exam cracking?
Hi,I hope you feel that you gave it your best shot i.e., you studied honestly and consistently.If that is the case, then you already know the art of learning and exam cracking.In life, failure and success are two sides of the same coin. Sometimes luck does not favor us even after all our efforts. Sometimes, we get lucky without even working. In such cases, it is easy to conclude that their might be some secret sauce that you do not know about. But that is far from the truth. All you need to do is minimize the chance of luck playing a major role role in your success by working your ass off.Do not beat yourself up on your failure. Do not go on a wild goose chase like the art of exam cracking.I have created a video for those who couldn’t get into IIT.
