We posted a question the other evening and we are still wondering about what
might have happened.  My partner had her period mid September and then
thought about 4 weeks later she might have been pregnant but then had an
extremely heavy period at the end of October.  She did a ...

After buying TCOYF on the advice of lots of people here, I have had a
+ve test this morning (at 5.15am - couldn't wait any longer) and this
is only our fourth cycle of ttc.  Am so excited I just had to tell
someone!!

Does anyone else experience very weird and vivid dreams......I mean
FreAKy ones.....lol...

Just got back from my 16-week checkup, and I heard something from my doctor
that doesn't jive with what I've heard here.  I guess I know what I think;
but I wouldn't mind some verification from those with experience.
I asked him about episiotomies, and mentioned that I'd "heard" ...

I won't get the results of today's ultrasound until Wednesday.  I'm very
early, 4 weeks, so they had to do a trans-vaginal u/s.  She didn't show me
the screen or give me any pictures, so I'm not sure what's going on.  She
didn't seem too concerned, and asked me when I'd be seeing my ...

Labour started at 11.30 on Christmas night, and we went to
the hospital at 2am.
I had quite a long 1st stage because Josephine's head stayed

Drs office called today and said "Everything is fine." Leave it to someone,
when I told them the results they asked me "Exactly what does that mean"?
and I realize...I don't know exactly.
Doesn't this just mean that I don't show an elevated risk for anything

Congratulations to any early birds who know they're pregnant already! Is
it a shock, or a much-awaited blessing?  How many pregnancy tests did
you have to take before you believed it? :)  Any symptoms yet?
For our TTC members, how is the journey going?  Need to vent, cry, yell

Sorry for all the a la carte postings today.  The details of Michael Jude's
birth two weeks ago are coming out piecemeal I guess until I have the time to
write the entire birth story....
Anyway, it's been two weeks to the day since our son was born.  I suffered a

I am very early and concerned that if I can't get comfortable to sleep now I
am in for trouble. When I try to sleep on my side, my shoulder screams after
about 10 minutes. I know that soon I will *only* be able to sleep on my side
so this is beginning to make me nervous. I admit ...

afternoon, and I'm just wondering what to expect. From what I understand,

Canada and wondering if it might be different here from the ...
