So I am still worried about the baby shower thing.
I thought the way to bring it up idly with family was to find one of
them and ask them if they had baby showers with their babies. (Most of
their babies are teenagers and I can't really recall personally...)

I just had my 30 wk appt., with u/s to check on previously diagnosed
marginal previa.  Well, the good news is that the placenta has
'cleared' the cervix, so previa is no longer an issue.  The bad news
is that they discovered the baby is currently in breech position.  I

It's Wednesday, 12 DPO. We're all waiting!   :)

Can someone direct me to a website that has a list of everything a new
mother would need for a baby?  Also a list of things to take to the hospital
would be helpful also!  Thank you!

I'm expecting my first baby in May, and I want to buy a travel system
stroller for him.  I'm torn between a couple of Graco models (primarily the
Sterling and Quattro models) and Eddie Bauer (the Glacier Euro Z and
Manchester Euro models).  Does anyone have any experience with ...

So, not much new information.  He said that he would be reluctant to put
me on any medication because he's not sure it would work.  Also, he
wants to see me for further testing after the pregnancy is over.
Regarding the pregnancy, specifically VBAC vs. c-section, he says it

At 32 weeks, I'm noticing that my hips are beginning to ache.  I imagine
this is normal, but was wondering if anyone else was having the same
problem.
To date, the major symptoms I have had (not counting no TOM) are:

hey all,
I posted a few weeks ago about the trouble we we're having getting our son
( 7 months, breastfed since birth ) off the breast. Just to update you, we
have managed to get him off the breast altogether now during the day. We

Hi- I am in my 10th week (first pregnancy) and have been vomiting now
since week 6.  My doctor prescribed phenergan, which slows it down so
I don't need IV fluids and am at home, but doesn't stop it.  I haven't

I went for another ultrasound today, just to make sure that things were,
in fact, OK.  They are!!  Yay!  We actually got to see the heart beating
(I can't believe the definition they can get with ultrasound equipment -
I mean, I actually saw the little thing flapping away).  It ...

Thankfully, we appear to be having one healthy-looking baby (and not the
five monkeys that I dreamed I was having).  The little one was fairly quiet
on the u/s but waved at us which was cute.  Having said that, I swear that
I've been feeling movement the last couple of mornings when ...

Does fish oil, containing EPA and DHA contain vitamins A and D ?
I thought only codfish-oil contains vit A and D, or am I wrong ?
I have heard fish-oil in pregnancy is a good thing, is this correct, please
?

We will be moving this week to Maryland. Until I set up my internet and
computer and stuff I will be out of touch. Good luck to everyone till then!

My partner is about 10 weeks pregnant.  
All her life, she has been scared about natural child birth, even though she has always wanted children more than anything else.
Already, she is very scared that her midwife will not give her the option of a caesarean section.  For her, ...
