OK, all you in the huge September 2003 due date crowd, let's hear from
you.  How are you and the little one(s) doing?
Zeldabee - how are you doing with the PPD?  Linda/GoofeeGyrl - are your
bf issues working out OK?  I've been thinking about you two.

Hi all, want some advice please. I am 18 weeks with my 4th Pregnacy. 1st one
weighed 6lb 14oz and ripped me to shreds he was stuck for 5 hours of pushing
and they still wouldnt do a c-section. He was born with a very mishappened
conehead that did not return to normal untill he was 2 ...

I'm about 26 weeks now and booked in to have the baby at Guys and St Thomas'
Hospital (the St Thomas' part) in London.  Wondered if anyone else had

Cheers

Do you think it could honestly work?
Would you get one?

Last night, a friend of mine told me that Catholic hospitals have the
highest c-section rates. I have never heard this before and wondered if it
was true, and if so, why. Anyone else heard this? I cannot imagine why a
Catholic hospital would have a higher c-section rates than ...

Ok here is my issue. Over four years ago my husband and I decided on
Nicholas James for a boy's name. Now I recently changed jobs and there
is a man in my group who's wife is due 5 months before me and they
have also selected the name Nicholas.

Would you say that there is a trendy or cultural naming pattern in
your part of the world?
In Sweden people normally give their children two or three names.
The first one would be any name really, and then the seccond and third

Well, I may as well jump in with my own naming uncertainty here...
We already have a girl name picked out, but since we have a shy baby
this time around, we don't know if we also need a boy name.  And,
that's the one we're having problems with.  We have a few ideas, but

Hi, I understand that during pregnant its better if we dont go for x-ray at
the dentist, and avoid the filling as well.  But, today my dentist told me
that I can have the teeth filling.  Is there anyone know what type of
filling safe for us?  I really worry if this will affect my ...

This is my first post here, and this is my first (hopefully) pregnancy.
My period was due on the 7th. I am very regular so when I was
late, I used the EPT and it came out positive. On 10th I went to
clinic to get urine test done. It came out inconclusive :( So I

Well, Lann is going to be 2 months old on Friday (I can't believe it!) and
I've decided it is time for me to "retire" into lurkerdom. I still really
enjoy reading this group, but I can't quite manage to keep up with it
lately. Lann keeps me quite busy and what energy remains I'm ...

Well, I'm still unable to stomach my old prenatal vitamins (nausea
associations), so I'm going back to Flintstones.
I know the important one is folic acid, and 800 mcg is the correct dose,
which is two Flintstones' worth.  Is there anything I can overdose on by

I posted before in a panic because one night I woke up at 2am with my left
foot in severe pain and I was unable to walk on it. 3 days later it
gradually went away though it still feels sore sometimes. It was weird and
never happened before until this pregnancy.

I'm just wondering if this is "normal". I don't think it's
bad - just wierd. Yesterday I didn't really show at all.
This morning I woke up with a sore belly, and I've been
popping out all day long. However - it feels like my
