Is this bad for baby?  Tropical fruit with Guava and passion fruit and red
and yellow papaya.
This is from a can in the supermarket.
I just had some today and then realized I should check if this is ok to eat

I'm at 34 weeks, and I can't breathe. Okay, I'm getting over a cold
and that REALLY didn't help, but mostly it's just cramped lungspace. I
don't mean that I feel a little short of breath if I move around too
much. I mean that unless I lie sort of arched backwards over a pillow

help to all you mothers out there.  i am now 36 weeks or there abouts
and have been feeling a numbness at the top of my belly for a few weeks
now.   it used to be just where my munchkin kicked but has now extended
to emcompass my entire top of my belly.  it tingles all the time and

Here's a problem I've never ever read in this ng.  It was very embarrassing
last time.  I'm not sure if there's anyone IRL I'm willing to spring this
on, so I'll spring it on the entire world semi-anonymously and hopefully no
one reading will know who I am IRL or care.  ;-)

Wednesday i am going in for an ultrasound to date my pregnancy, since
otherwise i haven't a clue when i am due.  what is the earliest

For those of you who charted, did you see either
a) triphasic temps (a third, higher jump ~ a week after O), and/or
b) an implantation dip?
Last month I had both, and no pg.

Again.. is it possible to get a BFP 9 days after conception?

Who's having a birthday this month?
Who's having a birthday in February?

I will be doing some voluntary work in a school in the 3rd trimester.
Should I be worried about exposing myself to groups of young children
(between 5 and 10yrs) as they could be more likely to give me
illnesses such as colds, flu, etc etc? Is this a risk not worth

My number was 156 (whatever that means).  I think normal was 140 so I don't
see WHY I have to take another test.
For those who've had it, what does it entail?  Will I be able to drink the
stuff and then just come back 3 hours later?

Anyone read this book by Dr.'s Doman? My DH was taught using this method
as a child and was reading everything in the house by age 3. They
couldn't stop him or nearly keep up with his appetite for books! He's
the same way today and re-reads books if he runs out of new ones. He

Happy Belated 38th Birthday, Christine!
I hope you had an enjoyable day!  :-)
(Very good year, BTW!  ;-) )

I'm trying to steer dh away from wanting to buy a cutsey bassinet.  I
think it would be a grand waste of money for the short time the baby
would be able to use it.
Sooo, I'm looking at co-sleepers, Arms Reach, in particular.
