area. I am thinking of hiring her, if I can afford it, so that I can

I was at 6w4d, and we saw the sac and heartbeat and everything, but he

I've just come back from my 29 week check. The midwife measured me which was
the first time I've had that done and said I was 27 cm, small but not a
worry. So I said to the midwife that I felt like I was engaged, and she went
to check and found I was. Does anyone know what the ...
