Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / September 2003

Well, today I had one of those boring appointments again. I did get to
to inform my caregiver that my body is finally telling me to slow down a
little, but I'm still getting around just fine and feeling swell in general.
Blood pressure was 124/72 and weight gain seems to have ...

Okay, so most of this pertains to yesterday, when I was 31+6, but it's as
near-as-damnit!
Antenatal appointment with the local community midwife, at my GP's surgery.
Urine dipped and was completely fine. BP 111/76 - nothing to complain about

I had another appointment yesterday and the good news is that after
watching my sugar for a week, my urine looked good.  He still wants me
to take it easy on the sweets, but since I've gained 3 pounds in a
week without them, I should probably do that anyway.

Hello all...
I am almost 22 weeks pregnant.  I have been able to feel the baby move
on and off since about 11 weeks.  These days, I feel him more about
1-2 times a day... sometimes more.

Another Sept Mom checking in....I have hopefully had my last appt for this
pregnancy!  2 more days until my due date, which I know does not mean much, but
considering Sophie came a little early I am hoping I don't have to go too late
with this one.

As I explained in another thread, I have miscarried again :(
Since it is much earlier this time (last time was around 12 weeks, D&C was
strongly rec'd by my midwife) I have been given options for dealing with it.
Miscarrying naturally, D&C, or Misoprostol (cyotec).

my wife is in her 14th week. she has had little bit of spotting when
she was in her 5th week but it turned out to be nothing. then, in the
last couple of days, she started having bleeding again as well as
passing blood clot.

Actor/rapper/model Mark Wahlberg and Revlon model Rhea Durham had a baby
girl, Ella Rae, on Tuesday.  No other details available yet.

So here's the new addition to the due-date check in!  I was flipping
through my Sears pregnancy book to write all the questions, and it
includes the chapter: "The Tenth Month - postpartum."  Postpartum is
definitely a part of pregnancy, so here you go:

I was on the contraceptive injection till last October 2002 and I have not had a period since, now I am aware this injection causes infertility for a while, but any idea how long.
I am 3o next year and my clock is ticking....lol
thanks for all advice

....I don't post apologies unless they're sincere.

Meghan - she had a son Killian, wanted a VBAC but had another c-section with
her daughter?
Amanda (I think her screen name was A Green).  I think she had an Elijah
then a girl (or maybe another boy - I remember threads about more E names)?

I'm only 4.5 mos. postpartum but I can't stop thinking about whether we're
done with making babies!  Every time Quinn leaves something behind, I get
misty-eyed about it.  No more gummy grins, no more coos, no more
swaddling, all the newborn clothing is packed away now, etc., etc. ...

On the front of the "Local" section in today's paper.
Female paramedic resuscitates OB who had a heart attack
jogging in the park.  A year or so later, she gets pregnant,
immediately thinks of the OB.

I am due either tommorrow or on Tuesday, depending on either the doc or the
ultrasound dating.  Either way, EDD is creeping up on me pretty quickly.  
Since yesterday morning, I have had mild to moderately strong menstral type
cramps.  I had an internal exam yesterday and just ...
