I suffered from a pretty bad wave of depression over a year ago and have
never been the most emotionaly stable of people. Can anyone point me to an
informative site about the condition, i would like to know if I am more
likely to suffer from it than other women, at least if its ...

Again, no big news ;-)
My ob/gyn again instructed me on when to go to the hospital in case the
contractions start (I'm due on Monday - 4 days to go!), but in case
nothing's going on, I'm to have another regular appt with her next Thursday

Well since the baby is now engaged how much longer is there till the baby
comes out?  This is her first baby.  Any kind of time line that I need to
watch out for??  She is saying that she is able to breath better and has to
go pee all the time.  She said that it kinda hurts to walk. ...

I know  alot of people feel you want to wait until you are far enough along
before you announce your pregnancy. My husband and I felt this way- we knew
at 5 weeks but thought that was too early to tell. We felt VERY strongly
about it- we wanted things to progress healthfully before ...

Just a note to everyone, I just got home and Im SO tired!
It's a BOY!!
Baby Alexander (Xander) Liam was born yesterday at 3.34pm, about 15 hours
after my water broke. His weight was 8lbs 5oz and he was 22 1/4 in long. He

Just wanted to let you all know that Eloise Victoria arrived 25th September
weighing a very respectable 6lb 15 oz.
Brief details -  I was induced Weds lunch time, as concerns regarding my
diabetes and how it was at that stage affecting baby.  Labour started an

Well hello all you mothers to be!  I am Alexis, my nephews call me Auntie
Bubbles.  I'm 39 years old, been married 10 years and am 11 weeks along ( so
my OB said today at our first visit) with my first baby.
I've had to make a lot of changes due to this pregnancy.  I must have been

Well, it was a boring appointment. I did gain back the weight I'd lost while
sick ALL of September, but that puts me at a grand total of 1.4 lbs gained
in 7 weeks. Midwife gave me the ok to eat whatever I want,lol. I guess thats
good. So I have to make an effort to EAT EAT EAT and ...

I can't believe Im due TODAY! I had both my other 2 early so Im a little
suprised I haven't gone yet. I did have quite a few contractions last night
that kept waking me but nothing to write home about as far as intensity
goes. Of course I was awake thinking about the name (s) and ...

I have a question about late pregnancy cervix checks prompted by Elly having
one at the same place in the pregnancy I did and apparently the doc found
hers.
My curiosity is completely piqued as to how these checks occur.  My cervix

I just vomited twice, and rather violently. I do have a cold (although
normally I don't throw up when I have one), but I am also quite close to my
due date (Monday - October 6th). I was just wondering if the vomiting could
be the sign the labour is approaching?

When you have a baby and the baby gets his/her first vaccine, which I
believe is for Hepatitis B, does the pediatrician you chose go to the
hospital and give the vaccine or is it just given by a hospital staff
member?  Is the vaccine ordered by your pediatrician or just a routine

I saw the midwife today for a checkup.  I'm 16w.  I told her about my BH
contractions, quite frequent, though not enough to give me concern.  What I
did want to know was that occasionally, they would be big enough to take my
breath away.  Maybe it was a bad sign, like maybe I'll go ...
