Is it ok to esercise - mainly weight training and cycling during the 2ww
while waitng for the egg to implant?
I know its not advisable to weight train during first trimester (for me
anyway) but not sure about 2ww

I plan on buying a white crib along with all the other nursery furniture
being white,
BUT what if i have a boy?
does white still go with a boy even if I would mix green and yellow in

Some people are telling me that when you're pregnant that you should not
reach and strech up high, ie. reach for something high.....is this true?
and why?
I run a pet grooming shop and I keep my door locked and everytime a

I just had to share how thrilled I am (AGAIN) that I am actually having a
baby.
Being a first-time mom at 40 is a surprise. I hope it isn't bad luck to be
dreaming and buying baby clothes.

I thought I heard someone mention this is bad for you while pregnant? I am
in the u.s., and am wondering if it is ok to eat a greek salad from the
grocery store deli which has feta cheese on it. It doesn't have much, but it
has maybe an ounce....

Due date after 20 week hospital sonogram was moved from 12/1 to 11/27, now
doctor says that his 8 week sono, the one that showed 12/1, is more
accurate...I know it's only a few days difference but it seems muuuuuuch closer
psychologically when I think it's Thanksgiving Day. For all ...

Next month I'll be going back home (new york city) to visit my parents
and I'm starting to make a list of baby things to get over there that
are less expensive than here (UK).  I'll definitely stock up on "soft"
things such as clothing, and I'm pretty sure I'll be getting lots of ...

just some quick questions for all those who have given birth at home:
- did you regret it?  There must be some people out there who didn't
have a good time of it.
- what did you do about pain relief?  Was your method/s effective?

Has anyone else had this?  I'm wondering,  since I stopped bleeding last
week, does that mean that the clot is gone, or do I still have it and its
just not bleeding anymore?  (Obviously, I'm going to ask my midwife but I'm
not going to bother her with a special phonecall because ...

we got a little peanut with a heartbeat!!!!!  Everything looked great, right
on schedule 8wk4ds, and apparently I have developed a tilted uterus since my
last birth.  Dh's face when he saw the lil one with the heart just beating
away was priceless :-)

...GIRL! So saith the ultrasound technicians, anyway, and this time
they sounded quite sure. I am thrilled. I would've been thrilled if
they had announced a boy too, it just makes her so much more real to
me to know which she is.

Today I recieved a certified letter from Johnson&Johnson.  I was thinking
"what the..."  To my surprise, it was a letter reguarding my ectopic
pregnancy.  I guess my ob informed them of it being that I had just came off
of Ortho Tri-cyclen when I got pg.  The letter basically says a ...

I'm 3.5 months now. I felt like crap last week but started Vitamin B6 and
seem to have been feeling better- instead of sick all the time every day, I
get sick about once a day. But today I am feeling worse and sick
again......I threw up in the grocery store parking lot, narrowly ...

Well, we had a very exciting first visit with the doctor. DH went with me,
we did the usual weigh in, blood pressure check and then she did a pap which
she says she does with every first prenatal visit. Because she thought we
were further along than the LMP would inidicate, she ...
