As promised, here's the long version. With this I'll be saying adieu and
wandering back on over to m.k.b. With two children now, I don't know if
I'll ever be pregnant again and I'm kind of sad about it. Best of luck to
all of you and thanks for all the humor and advice.

I'm currently 22 weeks along and i've started to get really sore bottom
ribs... does anyone know what this is, is it normal?
I'm also starting to bruise really easily.. is this normal?
TIA

Don't you love being the mkp fertility consultant?  :)
Are you the one who said she got pregnant at 1dpo?  TCOYF says that by
the time you see the temp jump, it's too late.  Just wondering if
there's an IRL example contradicting that.

Hello all...
Okay, this may sound like a stupid question because I already have a
child.  I never went into labor with #1.  So I have no idea what labor
pains feel like.  I am not currently experiencing any weird pains, but

I followed mkp before we were even married, and through my pregnancy,
but barely posted at all. After my son was born, I posted a little bit
more often on mk and mkb. But in short, I expect very few people if

the exact date you got pregnant?

This was posted to a mother who asked advice about spanking her child.
To follow up on what I said before, I don't want to recommend without knowing
what is going on, what to do. It is your choice as a mother, and must be guided
by your own thoughts, those of your daughter, and your ...

OK, sorry if this has been covered here recently ...
All the pg women I'm running into are totally astounded that I 1) have not
had a doctor's appointment "yet" and 2) haven't had an ultrasound and will
probably just have one unless something comes up.

I've worked out what it was after being so uncomfortable that i called my
midwife... apparently its squishy rubbing his foot up and down the side of
my right rib, and flicking the inside of it.. i never thought of this myself
because i didnt think he was big enough... i was ...

I had Madeline 7 wks ago, vag delivery, 2nd degree episiotomy. The
lochia had slowed to a barely detectable brownish dishcharge, like the
end of a period at 4 weeks. It was still there at the 6 wk check up,
which the dr said was normal.

I did the test yesterday am and it confirmed what I thought it would. Im
pregnant.
The thing is, Im almost 30, I have endometriosis and Ive been told for years
that Im infertile, Its been over 2 years since I last had the endo cut away,

I'm back from my most wonderful long weekend in Atlanta.  I had an
absolutely fantastic time!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I decided against the ultrasound.   I
followed my "gut" instinct which told me that I was doing it strictly for my

I would like input on naming the baby Yevette. My husband would love
to name her Yevette. His mom is Yevette, his grandmother is Yevette,
his great grandmother is Yevette, and believe it or not, her mother
was Yevette. First of all I think Yevette should be spelled not

I have a 7 month + one week old son who will sit up on his own. He
rolls both ways, surfs on his belly with arms and legs in the air, and
pushes way up on his arms. He can bear weight on his legs. The cutest
thing he does is put his head down, his butt in the air, and rocks

Hi All!!! I know I don't post a lot, but I try to post when I can... I
had my 22 week u/s yesterday and was amazed at how active my little
"peanut" is.. I didn't feel a lot of movement, but occasionally feel a
kick a two, we found out I have an anterior placenta, so that is the
