Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / October 2003

Thanks for your responses to first dilemma.
My second question is would a slightly irritable uterus be anything to worry
about for a VBAC?  I get BH's often.  Several per hour sometimes.  Not
painful, just uncomfortable.  Doc said they are nothing to worry about now

Im not sure if this will be TOO long, nothing like Em's im sure! (great
story btw ;) but I'll do my best!
I woke up at 12:00am on the 1st to my water breaking. What a weird feeling.
It never ruptured spontaneously with my other kids and it felt so strange. I

Wifes now 36 weeks but baby is measuring up to 40 weeks already so it
looks very large.
Consultant has given us the choice :-
1. Elective C-section at 39 weeks.

Hope it's a lovely day for you :)

Well, we came back from the hospital - I'm still pregnant ;-)
First they've done the CTG (external foetal movement monitoring) - baby's
heart rate fine, no contractions (I knew that!)
Then, the exam - the doc at the hospital was very kind and gentle; he said

I woke up this morning around 6 am to go to the toilette, and found out I
had a bloody show when I wiped - some white-yellowish-pinkish mucus with
some small blood cloths. The knickers were also pinkish. After wiping
several times, it went away.

I have now receievd two emails and a post
by people lecturing me on how my wife and
I should have done, this, that and the other thing...
yadda yadda yadda...

I just wanted to know if this is happening to anyone else.  It seems like
ever since I got pregnant with my DD that my husband and I have been on a
rollercoaster of fights and low moments.  What's worse is that it seems to
be worse with me being pregnant with #2.  I have even ...

You would think, given how many pregnancy tests I've taken, I would know
this, but I don't.  Last night, I took an Albertson's brand HPT.  The
directions said not to read the results after 3 minutes.  At 5 minutes, a
very, very and I do mean very faint line appeared in the result ...

Actor Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Saved by the Bell, NYPD Blue) and his wife of 7
yrs, Lisa Ann Russell, are expecting their first baby in the Spring.
Actress Charlotte Ross (NYPD Blue) and her fiancé, agent Mike Goldman, are

After being threatened with induction by AROM, Aamon Dane decided to
get the party started on his own.  We were scheduled to go in at
6:30am on the 1st, but just after midnight I noticed that my
contractions felt a little different than I'd been feeling for the

Thanks to everyone who replied to my help about morning sickness -
especially Liz who reminded me that pregnancy is a miracle - I had been
thinking of it as a really, really bad inconvenience till now.  Some of the
tips are really helpful.  I feel like I can handle this a lot better ...

I tested pos. for GBS at 35 weeks, did a re-test at 37 weeks and am
still positive.  I had been following a naturopathic regime for about
a week before the re-test but still came out positive :-(
Anyhow, this is my question....I am planning a homebirth, this is baby

I've been thinking about you.  I hope you're doing well.  ((Hugs))
