I'm at 31.5 weeks in my second pregnancy, and I believe the baby
dropped sometime in the last few days, although I'm not noticeably
"lower" to others' eyes. My first never dropped - she was induced at
38 weeks - so this is new to me.

Lately I've been feeling totally stressed out and I've noticed my heartrate
is constantly varying from very fast to very slow. In the process I get very
faint and today I nearly passed out as I could feel my heart skipping beats,
or palpatating, whichever it was and it scared the ...

Hi, everyone.
I have my first prenatal appointment on Tuesday. If you go by my LMP, I
will be six weeks. If you go by when I am 90 % sure I ovulated, then I
will be 7 weeks.

I've been away for a little while, just busy with summer and kids being
home, swimming, etc. I hope all is well with everyone and congrats to all
the new mommies!!
So Im about 30-31 weeks now so I've got some "3rd trimester" questions for

I spent Thurs-Sat in San Francisco again for the Doulas of North America
conference (was there 3 wks ago for LLLI conf.)... it was the second chance
I've had to show the MamaBaby to a group of people. While there, we came up
with a new use for unpadded baby slings--think it would ...

Need help on some other issue...
two day ago, when I try to hang the laundry of DD, I found there were some
black spots, moss, on some clothes. It is so scaried. So then I soak the
contaminated clothes(which also have some black spot) into vinegar and put

I have been a frequent reader, not necessary poster to this group, but
wanted to share my birth story, since I enjoyed reading other's a lot.
I was due July 13 with my second baby, a girl. I went in for a NST on
Friday, July 18. The NST showed that she didn't tolerate contractions ...

Last week I was sitting with my Mum and my Love and we were talking about
all of the special adaptations which might be useful for a pregnant woman to
aid her getting around, and to make her a little safer in public. (I am only
able to say this because I am quite enormously pregnant ...

Hi everyone.  I have been reading this news group for about 6 months now.
DH and I have been TTC so I thought I would introduce myself and try to get
familair with some people for support in case the good news comes anytime
soon.  We have been timing my cycle, but it is difficult ...

I was worried earlier that I wouldn't gain enough weight. After the 3 months
of nausea passed, then I had a period of "anoerexia", I just did NOT want to
eat, never felt hungry. My weight gain has been PERFECT my midwife said, but
I was still concerned the baby would be scrawny ...

My ultrasound yesterday evening went great! The baby was very active and she
kept putting her hands in front of her face. I say she because the
technician thinks she's a girl. He said he's not positive, but he didn't see
anything dangling. She's about 3 days bigger than expected, ...

Well my due date is soooo close now and i am really getting nervous about
how it will all pan out.  I guess what I am really worried about is how I am
going to cope with the pain and actually getting to the hospital.  I live 20
miles away from the hospital and am really not sure at ...

Hello all, I have been reading peoples posts when they have an antenatal
appointment, and each one mentions weight gain.
Now I have never been weighed in pregnancy, I have been warned by my midwife
to look out for a sudden weight gain as an indicator of pre-ecalmpsia, but

Since we will (hopefully) find out the sex of our baby in a week, I
thought it would be fun to get a hat with baby's name on it. I can
find lots of snow-cap looking things, but no baby baseball caps.
Anybody know of a web site where I could order a customized baby
