Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / October 2003

I popped in here briefly in about May this year but unfortunatly my
pregnancy wasn't ment to be, well here I am again with the two purple
stripes....I just found out today and need to share my news...
I have a DD who is 17months and Live in Sydney Austraila.I haven't told DH

Ever since I was ttc and have been pregnant (now 3 months along) I
have felt a complete lack of interest in my job and career. I still
feel like working but I am not sure what doing - certainly not my
current job which is actually considered a good one paying really

Oh please Oh Please be over soon :)

Hello, I know this is kind of off topic here but I like this News Group much
better than the misc.kids.health so I thought that someone here may have
experienced the same problem with their toddler.
Amy, who just turned two, was talking really well-in 3-5 word sentences. All

He is annoying me. It's no big deal but he sure accidentally does everything
wrong...I have been hurting- kind of a lowgrade sharp pain on my lower left
side for a few days, really ever since I had my 2nd prenatal exam with the
vaginal sonogram. pap smear etc. I have been viciously ...

Hope it's a lovely day :)

Still here, and still pregnant ;-)
I had (over here) a standard check up at the hospital where I'll give birth.
They've done the NST, amnioscopy and standard ob/gyn exam. Nothing different

Hi,  I wonder about pregnant woman sizes (for clothing).  How many sizes do
we usually grow?  Will we grow until really BIG :)  I really new here, not
sure...  Thanks...

I am faced with a dilemma.  Do I do a repeat c-section with the second child

contractions started,  no pushing - 6 cm dialted then nurse felt feet, then
c-section.

~5months and has had no visits to an OB or Doctor. She is completely relying
on a midwife.  She will have a natural birth at home with ...

I woke up this morning at around 6:30 am (I had to get up during the night
several times to pee) and was a little concerned to see the bloody show

to worry about it (and I checked again several times with ...

Is anyone getting this and if so/if not what have you learned about it? We
vaccine delay by nature so ANY shots worry me.......Jules is nearly 4 and
healthy although just started pre kindergarten and is bringing home so many
germs I am sick alot more......as is she. Should we ...

Another group I post to has some questions.
~Is it okay to take Evening Primrose Oil when you're TTC?
I'm guessing it is.  It helps with PMS and stuff.  It wouldn't prevent
ovulation, would it?

Hope it's a lovely day for him :)

What is involved in the pre surgical testing procedure for a planned
C-section.  How soon before the surgery must it be done and if you opt for a
VBAC, is it still necesarry?
Thanks again for all your help
