My ultrasound is at 2:15 today.  I am so nervous.  I still feel very few
symptoms.  It makes me worry that something could be wrong.
But, my doctor guesstimated, based on the dates I gave her, that I am now 9
weeks and 1 day pregnant.  Today we will be able to get a more accurate

accepted.  I had a couple of pains on the way home which continued and
at 1pm I decided I had better call my DH and get him to set off home.
Laboured at home for a couple of hours before calling midwife. She

Well, since I now go to appointments every week, I better not dawdle
when reporting them, or they'll start piling up! So, this is what

I'm curious what the going rate is for a babysitter these days.  Not

I've had one period since going off. My cycle between that period and
the one before stopping the pill pack was only 22 days. On day 5 after

Hey all!  Like many I am an avid reader of MKP ,for the past five years, but
I rarely post.  This has to be my favorite NG!   I wish I had found it
before I had my children.  Tis amazing what one can learn from this
newsgroup, on the other hand it really is a shame more women don't ...

I was curious if anyone has any more suggestions of what I can do to
prepare.
I am still trying to conceive.   I have cut down on smoking (trying to
quit), working on cutting out caffeine as well, am going to get a pregnancy

I'm now in my second pregnancy (Miles is now 16, nearly 17 months
old).  This one is a surrogate pregnancy, by the by.  Depending on how
you count, I'm around 4-6 weeks along, due around April 18th.
Interesting thing I'm noticing is that compared to Miles at this stage

I've never had trouble with this before, but I was given some codeine
after an accident last week, I didn't even take the full dose, I ended up
