I need so Real Mommy Opinions!
I have been tossing around the OB/GYN vs. MidWife topic and I just can't
find enough pro's and con's to persuade me either way. I want to
know...which is really preference and why? Is the MW qualified in

This is embarassing but, I mentioned before that I am just a few weeks along
with my first, we tried (it was not a surprise even though I was surprised
it happened so quickly!) I have had an anxiety disorder before, where I
would get full-blown, terrifying panic attacks. I am not a ...

I know I am driving my husband crazy. I am very tearful and SO
uncomfortable...I am wailing "How am I everrrrr going to make it through 8
morrrrrrrre monthsssssss"...I just wonder if this is common to feel SO BAD,

Hello, Everyone.
I have been reading posts but been a little too busy to post myself. I
sure enjoy reading what is going on with everyone.
My pregnancy is going great and very uneventful. I still have slight

Well I had my first appt last Monday at the local hospital.  We had an
ultra sound done to find out the edd.  When I went to the GP he had told
me April 10, but that was based on a 28 day cycle and mine is hardly
ever that long.  I'm usually 25-26 days. The tech doing the scan ...

I am doing everything I can to get my mind off PAs that I have had in the

Hi Dagny,
You're in about your 7th week of pregnancy, just like me
(first day of my last period was July 30).
Are you bleeding and you need to change a pad often?

This is geared toward Mom's who have experienced both Natural
childbirth and childbirth after having an epidural.
I've recently taken a preparation for childbirth and I think that I'd
like to try to go all natural without the pain medication from an

I've googled the  MKP archives on the subject of diaper bag contents, and
this is the list I came up with:
- 3 or 4 disposable diapers

I was reading the thread about epidural or not....I am just getting used to
being pregnant with my first and so I am still reading a lot and trying to
educate myself on it. I never have particularly wanted an epidural...I had a
spinal tap once and it was awful. Stay away from my ...

I am now 37 weeks! Yippee, I am so pleased to be nearly there.  This is now
new territory for me as I gave birth to my son at exactly 37 weeks ( I was
induced at 36 weeks 5 days).  I see the Doc again at 37 weeks 4 days, and if
all is well hope I can be given another week before ...

Being the original poster for the # of ultrasounds question, I thought

OB thought Baby was breech and that we may need to plan for a
