What is two week wait?
~Carol Ann

I have an embarrassing problem - For the last few days I've been suffering
from flatulence (Not the smelly kind but the noisy kind!). My DH is getting
fed-up (and so am I!). What can I do to help alleviate the problem? What
kinds of food do I need to avoid?

Hi everyone, i just found this message board a few days ago and have been
reading and reading and reading....wow! lots of great info in here! I am 34
and newly pg with #1 (my husband and I ttc'd for 7 months). I've never been
pg b4 and I have had a few incidences of spotting which ...

Last week I posted a message about my friend who had gone in for
induction.  She spent the night with the cervical gel, then got
pitocin starting the next day.
She went back in on this last Saturday for induction attempt number

another question for ya's.......... since i went off bcp when my husband and
i started ttc-ing, my complexion started to get pimply. so i've been using a
medicated facial soap with 2% salicylic acid, which really helps. i've been
surfing a little and it seems like its ok (although ...

I'm actually not that enthusiastic about it, but my mother really has her
heart set on my coming down for a visit next weekend. I'm inclined on the
one hand to indulge her--she has cancer, and her prognosis isn't good. My
sister has been with her on an extended visit (she's a school ...

Anybody got advice for pubic symphysis pain?  I seem to have developed this
right before 31 weeks.  Ouch!  But it's not so bad just yet.  (I fear it
getting worse..)

I looked at a pregnancy calendar online, typed in the first day of my last
TOM (as well as I could remember it was June 15) and it says 7 weeks?
Seems like I should be having more "signs" too.  Oh well.  I guess I just
have to wait until 3:00 on the 11th!

I've done my internet research, but I'd like some reassurance, if you
all could provide it.  We had an ultasound done this morning at 24
weeks.  We'd had one done at 20 weeks, but the baby was positioned wrong
and the doc couldn't get a good look at the heart and since I'm 37, he ...

I just had a message on my answerphone from Andrea.
Lydia Elizabeth was born via emergency c-section on Monday 21st July
after getting, in Andrea's words, "well and truly stuck"
In the message Andrea said that a few things went 'wrong' and she

I am 38 years old and have never been pregnant. My menstrual cycle is
25 days and it is normally very regular. However, lately I am
beginning to wonder what's happening. My last period was 39 days ago.
My question is: can I be pregnant without "feeling" pregnant and

Ok, so I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to get a quilt for the crib in a solid
color.  Everything seems to be part of a themed bedding set or have a
pattern on it.  I have a big tapestry going up on the nursery wall and I
don't want to room getting overly busy, so I would really prefer a ...

It's possible that labor started somewhere before 8pm on the 28th at 39
weeks 1 day - I began having short (shorter than 30 seconds) contractions
that got my attention enough that I began writing them down, and they were
between 4-6 minutes apart.  Between 10 and 11pm I had 14 ...

First things first...
PREGNANT WOMEN:  MDs are closing birth canals up to 30%.  It's EASY to allow
your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%!
NOTE:  You DON'T have to squat to allow your birth canal to open maximally.
