I know I'm not supposed to eat soft cheese whilst pregnant but is Feta
cheese considered to be soft cheese?

I'm in my 23rd week and for the last few  weeks have felt the baby lightly
thudding inside my belly after dinner whilst lounging in bed for a bit.  Had a
very succesful 20 week sonogram and everything was "perfect" according to the
doctors.  My placenta is low at the moment but ...

Well, it made me laugh.

Ugh. I hate to complain, but it is MISERABLE here! Since we have cool
weather 9 months of the year here, no one seems to have air conditioning.
Not only that, but the windows in these houses tend to open sideways,making
the installation of a window unit difficult PLUS the houses ...

Does anyone know why it is preferable for a baby to be lying on the left
side rather than the right.  This one seems to definitely prefer my right
side and appears to be trying to get his bum wedged under my right ribs as
we speak , ouch ouch!

Hey all...
I am now 16 weeks pregnant.  I have a bad chest cold with lots of
coughing.  A couple of weeks ago I had a head cold.  I hate being sick
and pregnant.

Went to see T3 this weekend and my wife said she felt the baby moving
all over the place during the movie (it was very very loud and lots of
bass). Either the kid loved the movie or hated it. She felt the baby
movie the other night during a loud thunder storm. Must be the loud

I was just reading an article on BabyCenter.com. (I am goofing off at
work. Don't tell.) I just saw this sentence.
... "pre-term labor with minimal or no uterine contractions" ...
as a risk factor in determining incompentent cervix. See whole article

Yesterday I had another fairly uneventful appointment at my birth center.
Starting now, I'm on a every-two-weeks appointment schedule. Too weird! I
still can't get over being in the 30's now!
Reinforcing why I like this birth center so much, this appt. I didn't even

My wife gave birth to our daughter 5 days ago and started showing
signs of Bells Palsy 3 days later. The right side of her face is
somewhat paralyzed (i.e., her eye doesn't close or blink, the right
side of her mouth doesn't move). Her doctor says that it should start

That is a question about odd breasts, not an odd question about
breasts ;)
I'm 20 weeks pregnant (with #1) and, frankly, find my breasts a little
strange this am. From about implantation I had the normal tender

I am officially tired of being pregnant now.
No matter how I sit, if I sit - on a chair with my back straight, in a
kneeling 'ergonomic' chair, on the birth ball, cross-legged on the
floor...doesn't matter, when I stand up, I feel this gawdawful pressure on

I want to share some photos with you all and some friends and family but
need to find a free online photo album to do this.
Can anyone recommend one?
I have got one on Yahoo but you have to pay if you want other people to see

I went in to see the midwife for my weekly update today.  In some ways it
was good, but I am feeling somewhat disappointed that labour hasn't happened
yet.  I know that there is no way to predict when it will happen.  However,
when I lost my mucous plug last Monday I was sure that ...
