Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / August 2003

I was confirmed 5 weeks pregnant last week. During my first visit to
the doctor's office, the doctor just did the pregnancy test, check my
blood pressure and weight. She precribed 1mg folic acid and prenatal
vitamins.

...and Gwendolyn has finally arrived.  At 7:16 am on Tuesday, July 29, by
VBA2C!  She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and is 20" long. Birth story to follow when
my sitter-downer isn't so very sore (bad tear, lots of stitches.)

Before becoming pregnant, I was able to take any sort of horse pills,
without even needing any liquid.  Well, that's changed in a big way.
It's not just the prenatal vitamins that won't go down.  I can't even
swallow the folic acid, which is a small, odorless tablet.

Hey all.  I am still fairly new here but am hoping to become a regular soon.
AF is supposed to arrive is 6 days.  I wrote before about irregular bowl
movements but they seem to have gone.  What I have been noticing more more
today besides being constantly hungry and fatigues is my ...

I have a questoin that is embarassing but I am curious as to if it this is a
possiblility.   A little over a week after DH and I began trying this cycle
I got sick.  Since that week (it has been about a week 1/2),  I have felt
sick to my stomach every time I eat or don't actually.  ...

I would like to put out a idea if any one thinks is a good idea or not.  The
wife and I were thinking about putting up a web site and post photos of her
in different weeks and after birth photos.. And let anyone up load there
photos and so on to the page when they want to.  We ...

I am an extremely impatient person, so the fact that DH and I have not come up
with more than one possible name for our little DD is getting to be a big
frustration for me.  DD#2 is due in about six weeks, so I know we still have
time, but again, I am very impatient.

Hi again all.... Well its been 6 weeks since I first posted, and I'd
like to thank you all for you kind words and support. Since then we

negative. The wife is showing more and more every day. The morning

Hi everyone!
 Been lurking here since late April when my partner & I found out
were expecting.  What they say is apparently true about the Atkins
diet! lol  Hi Carol Ann!! :o)  

Just wanted to introduce myself.  I am 39 (40 in December) and just
discovered I was pregnant for the firsttime!
My first OB exam is on August 11th.  I can't tell you how afraid I am.  My
guess is that I'm anywhere from 4 - 6 weeks along.  I just don't know.  I

I'm at 27 weeks and was feeling pretty good till I cracked open the
envelope with preadmission forms for the hospital my ob/gyn is
affiliated with. After reading the brochure with statistics like 56
percent of the women who give birth there have episiotomies, and 42
