and go from there. But since Cheryl just started a ...

I have been very curious about this since my spotting a few days ago.  I
know that I may yet go until my due date, but everyone (including my
midwife) thinks I will go into labour early.  Since there is no way of
knowing, I just thought I'd poll to see what different people's ...

Well, after looking through the messages I thought I'd post and say hello
(waves) I'm due August 23rd with #2 (DD is 3) and I'm wondering 2 things...
is it normal for child #1 to become completely unmanageable around this
time? Or is it just the "terrible 3's" (which I've always ...

I had the ultrasound today - I had one two weeks ago but the ob/gyn said she
wanted to do another one because the baby was moving so much and she had a
lot of patients that day and so couldn't spend her usual 20 minutes at it.
Well, everything is fine :-)

I've been lurking here that last few months (and read here
8 years ago when I had baby 1).
Today my DH was poking my belly trying to get the baby to
move around when DD(7) came over and said to the belly,

we began to get a little excited.

THINK ABOUT ALL THE BABIES WHO DON'T GET IMMUNIZATIONS FOR BREAKFAST!
IT'S A CRIME!
The crime starts at birth...
PREGNANT WOMEN:  MDs are closing birth canals up to 30%.  It's EASY to allow

I will need to return to work when my baby is about 6 months old. I'm not
sure what childcare options are "best" for my baby at that age. I might be
able to get away with working about 3-4 days a week (depending on what we
feel we can afford at the time).

Hello - I thought I would introduce myself, as I have been reading this
newsgroup for about a month now.  My husband and I recently decided to
start trying to conceive our first child, and this month is the first
time we have tried ... right now I am 3 days past ovulation (as far as ...

When did you start "nesting" (if at all)? If you did, what did you do?

Oh dearie me, do I have 'em.  I'm using a 1% cortisone foam they gave me
when I was in the hospital, plus Gold Bond cream or powder, depending, and
things seem to be getting worse, not better. I've resorted to witch hazel
pads, but I don't think they're helping either.

before i had the baby i told the doc. i wanted to be shave but the doc.
did not shave me so now im sueing the doc. because he did not.
