Does anybody have any experience wit the birth centre in Edgware
(North London)?
I am keen to have a more natural birth with little intervention.
I would be interested in hearing from people who had their baby there.

Duncan was born at 10pm on the 7th of October weighing in at 10lbs 2oz after
a six hours of active labour. I used gas which was great and had a shot of
pethedine but managed to stick to my plan of no epidural!
The thirty minutes of pushing were the hardest thing I've ever done but ...

Well, here are the highlites:
~My EDD has been changed from April 4, 2004 to March 23, 2004 (16.5 weeks).

Hi there everyone,  I am in desperate need of help.  I have an 8 week old
baby girl that cries all the time.  She has been diagnosed with reflux and
is on medication for it which is helping that problem but she is still very
unsettled and  have been to the paediatrician and they ...

Luckily my GP has office hours on Fri morning so I went in to see him.
My husband had taken the day off for the wedding we were supposed to
attend and I'm always off on Fridays so we zipped over there in the car.
 The doctor felt around my stomach and then used some device to ...

Well, another regular ob/gyn appt after having bloody show yesterday...
Urine = fine, some blood from the bloody show/mucus (this is still going on,
and my ob/gyn told me it might continue - the same pinkish discharge
streaked with blood on occasion)

Just wanted to wish you a Happy Due Date Day tomorrow! I hope a nice, cuddly
baby in arms is your present :-)

DH and I are looking into hiring a Doula to be there with us for the birth
and for a while after.  Basically the way the care system seems to work
(Guys and St Thomas') is that we are seen by a community midwife team but
they are not there at the hospital so at the birth we will be ...

I get the idea that Im one of the younger ones here, so maybe no one else
cares :) BUT! I cannot make myself spend a zillion (meaning 40) dollars on a
nursing shirt. I just CANNOT. I even looked at patterns to sew and that
didnt seem fun either. SO..... In the interest of being ...

son, Edmund Charles, with his second wife, Caroline Freud. The baby is the
couple's first child together--Spencer has four children from a previous
marriage; Freud has two.

I have a question, maybe some of you have experienced this.  I usually have
normal periods, they come every 30 days like clockwork and last 6.5 days.
Last time, which was the first of september, I started on time, but I bled
for 12 days.  I called the health department, where I get ...

I've had a really long day at work that included lots of walking,
especially up and down stairs.  I've just started my 2nd trimester and
when I got home this evening and changed my clothes I saw that I had
bled during the latter part of the day.  I do remember sitting on the

After trying to get pregnant this last month, and waiting more than
3wks after trying, I found out at the doc's office that I am not
pregnant after HCG quantative test.  What worries me the most is that
I have not have my period for more than 40 days, which is unusual for

Hello all...
I was looking for websites with baby names.  I came across a very
interesting site.  It is actually a genealogy site.  It has a list of
names and nicknames for those names.

ELLY -
I understand your anxiety about the baby!  I WAS due on Monday.  It's
Friday and still nothing - not even show, just some mucous.  The Dr.
said that I was efaced, but not dialated at all!  Not even 1 cm.  So I
