I am maintaining the Due Date Calendar on alt.infertility.pregnancy.
Would you like me to do one for this group?
It lists the most recent births and the expected due dates.  It also has
information like whether it's a girl, boy, twins, names, etc.

My name is Sunshine and I had posted here all throughout my last
pregnancy (11/01 - 8/02) which resulted in a beautiful baby girl,
Kira.  After her birth, I became a Lurker.  Last night my husband and
I decided to go off birth control.  So were not activily trying but

It has been a while since I posted, I've been so
busy with work, my 15 month old and fighting a
cold that brought me to my knees... Fortunately,
I'm on the mend from that.

   it might seem like a dumb question but i am gonna ask anyways!!
Every now and again my son ( 1 month old) shakes his legs uncontrollably

Hi I had unprotected intercourse 22 days and 18 days ago. I know this was
silly, and my husband and I haven't slipped up since.
I posted about having had period pain but no bleeding with egg-white mucus,
and I wasn't sure if it was ovulation or an impending period.

I had my 33 week appt this afternoon, which was rescheduled from last week (doc

So who's birthdays are in August?

Hello, all. Thanks for having a forum to discuss all the ups and downs
of being pregnant. My name is Niki, I'm 30 and I'm currently pregnant

conceived after my third round of clomid and first hcg shot. My

would ask here first anyway.  I have heard that colostrum comes in any time
from the second trimester until the actual birth of a baby, but I was
wondering if anyone knew a little more about it.  Such as:  ...

Well I've made it! I'll be 27 w tomorrow. 7 w on bedrest! It hasn't been
so bad.....but I'm getting really huge. The twins are very active which
is probably the worse part of this pregnancy. Other discomforts seem
lesseed due to the fact that I spend most of my days horizontal. Only ...

Well, gang, I am feeling a little silly right now. I woke up around 2 a.m.
this morning with an awful backache that wouldn't go away no matter how I
positioned myself and some rather uncomfortable abdominal cramping (not too
bad, just worrisome). I was so uncomfortable, I didn't ...

Another uneventful appointment yesterday.  Everything is going well.

but the little bit of swelling I have had is making them very stiff
