I'm not in shape at all.  I walk a mile at least 3 times a week (try for

Well, I just got back from the OB. Nice enough fellow.  The one thing
that stuck out was he didn't look at his watch the whole time I was
there.  I was there for about 40 minutes, too.
After he asked me a bunch of questions, he took my blood pressure and

grateful for any advice you could give me.
My name's Paul, I'm originally from Leeds, England but now live in Spain

I seem to have lost about 3 or 4 lbs in the past 2 or 3 weeks, that can't be

I would like to introduce us to you guys. I am in my 6th week. I like
reading your postings, which I've been doing ever since I knew, which is
about 2 weeks ago.

We have a little Honda Civic and it's going to be time (well, after
February!) to add a larger car.  
How many people have minivans versus a SUV or miniSUV like the Honda
CR-V?  

I took part in some research recently for a study that's
been done on developing a scale for testing for PPD in New

It looks like my water's broken...this morning I had a couple of
unmistakeable but small leaks that turned into a steady trickle for a
while, and now has mostly stopped. Now I seem to have all sorts

We are trying to concieve our first child.  We missed the August cycle and
