Any suggestions on starting labor? Any that aren't unsafe for baby I mean. I
am exactly one week overdue and was suppose to get induced to day for many
reasons;
So my husband can be there-we cant afford for him to take time off of work

Well, Lann is just about two weeks old now and I think I've managed to grab
some spare minutes to type out his birth story. I wrote down as much as I
could the day he was born and added extra notes for a few days after as I
remembered things I wanted to add. I wrote about ten pages ...

I am keen to have a more natural birth and looked around the Edgware
birth centre this week. Does anybody have experience with this centre.
What do they do in an emergency during the birth, e.g. heavy blood

Here's the questions for all the mothers here:

months?

Just wanted to send out healing vibes to you and to make sure you knew you
are in my thoughts:)

Hello, I am coming out of lurkdom.  I am now 11 weeks pregnant.  I

I just came home from my 16 ww appointment. We could hear the baby's
heartbeat very well. DH was smiling so much that his ears were in the way of
his lips!
The Dr did not tell us what the hr was but she just said that everything is

Hey all, I'm 10w1d along right now and have a spotting question. I
know that spotting is common throughout pregnancy, but just wondering
if anyone who has experienced a miscarriage can tell me if they had

Hi everyone! New here and just looking for some advice from those who have
been there and done that.
Husband (29) and I (34) have been talking *a lot* about having a baby. There

This is a completely crazy question. How many of you checked the Chinese
calendar for the gender of your baby, and it was true or wrong? (That, I am

by your (mother's) age at the time of conception and the ...
