I've got a speculative sort of question.  I have gestational diabetes
which I am controlling through diet.  At 37 weeks, I'm now starting to
get myself all mentally prepared for labor and delivery.  My hospital
allows clear liquids, most of which sound like they're fairly high in ...

I've posted here a few times, I'm now ttc and I have a question for the
group.
I "miscarried" in January at 10 weeks (baby stopped growing, eventually I
had a D&C). At the time, my doctor had noted a positive RPR marker

Hi all I finally found out today my beta results it was 3!
They said the other blood test was higher and it had dropped dramatically
over the few days and that I have defiantly mc. :(((((((
I'm still in shock and the disappointment is overwhelming and I hate it.

Being the proud father of a new baby (who has yet to be born), I am
wondering about what kind of new traditions I can start. I have heard
of some fun things and I would like to hear what people around here
do. I don't want my child to grow up like me, with about 5 baby

Hello all...
I just need to vent.  I am 30 weeks pregnant.  I am starting week 2 of
being sick.  I haven't had a decent night's sleep in days.  
Last week, I had a stomach bug.  It lasted 2 days, and then it was

Any advice from you experienced moms out there?   I feel like I've covered
everything from the Lasinoh and bra pads to the name and # of the pediatrician
to pre-washing some baby clothes in Dreft....Any useful tips for me at this
point? House is cleaned, lots of yummy soups and ...

Hiya All,
The doctor appt went well.  My wifes BP is 130/80. Gained 1.5 lbs in 1 week.
She is up to 163.0 Lbs.  She started at 120.0 lbs before she was preg. The
hight from the pubic bone to the top of the utrus is still 34 cm.  No change

So I have heard that it is okay, and that it isnt okay to sleep on your back
during late pregnancy.  This is the only way I can sleep comfortably without
waking up every 15 minutes to change position because my hip hurts and my
thigh has a burning sensation.

In case anybody has seen the most recent episode of Gilmore Girls,
did it strike you as funny that they have the most horrible midwife
portrayed in that series?
For those of you who are not familiar: one of the main characters

I've noticed (maybe just recently) that several women have had a tube
removed and a few have since gotten pregnant again.  I'm just curious as to
how hard it is to get pregnant with only one tube?  I know the ovaries are
not attached to the tubes but I assume if you don't have that ...

How and when do you use it? Thanks.

Hi all, just wanted to say hi and let you know how my appointment went
today..
I had to start seeing a specialist because I have type II diabetes but I
am now on insulin until the baby is born... I am seeing a really great

Well I thought I'd just say that I won't be on for a few days.
Due to my gestational diabetes, I'm going to be induced this evening,
starting with prostaglandin overnight and then pitocin in the morning if
labor hasn't started yet.  Not the intervention-free experience I was

I know it has been a while since our last post, but preparing for the
arrival of our son has been keeping us busy.
The funny thing is it seems like yesterday the test came back
positive, and we could barley hold back our excitement from friends
