What a lovely month to have a baby!  :)
How are you feeling, seven-monthers?  Enjoying your beautiful belly?
Any braxton hicks?  Aches and pains, or are you carrying on with life as
usual?  Everything lined up for the birth, maternity leave, found a

I am kind of concerned about my daughter's stability when her sibling comes
along in July.
Here is the background - My husband is a resident,who will finish his
training on June 30.   I'm due with the new baby at the end of July.   I'm

Disclaimer: Do not read if feeling fragile, be warned that miscarriage is
discussed in this post.
Well the disclaimer says it all really, things have been going rapidly down
hill since the New Year.  I started spotting on New Year's Eve.  A scan on

If possible could anyone who had a c-section please tell me about
their experiences. I had one myself 6mnths ago and as many of my
friends don't yet have children i find myself with no one to talk to.
1.What were the reasons for your section. 2.Did you have an epidural

I mostly lurk on here but occasionally post.  I am 23 weeks along and
at 20 weeks I had an ultrasound to check the sex and the tech (that's
been doing this for 24 years) said that she wouldn't commit to
anything but that she was 90+% sure that it was a girl but to come

All being well Im going to be a dad for the first time in 2 weeks, after a
miscarriage last year its a welcome relief.
Any advice on how to cope as a father with a newborn, Im sort of excited but
also scared.

I managed to wake myself up last night in a lot of pain.  It's now the next
afternoon and it still hurts.  Can't walk, laugh or lift my legs with out
screwing up my face.  I assume this is just round ligament pain.  Does
anyone have any suggestions to help it go away?  Or do I just ...

park in the ‘‘ new and expectant ’’ mothers parking spots yet?
I do, because we have tons of snow here and i dont want to risk falling
so a short walk to the door is much nicer...;-))
do you all have those?

Well, I'm still pregnant.  Yeesh, what a past few days!  I had fully
convinced myself that I had miscarried.  Started bleeding, went to the
hospital, had an ultrasound and betaHCG tests (over three days).  Found
out that I was 5 weeks 1 day as of last Sunday (really surprising - ...

Okay, I just took an over the counter test this morning and it came
out positive. I am waiting to hear confirmation back from my doctor (I
had blood taken today)
Now if I am, I would be approx. 16 days pregnant. In those 16 days I

I'm now just about 22 weeks and beginning to show quite a bit.  My MIL
seems to think that this gives her permission to rub and pat my belly
whenever she feels like it and it's driving me crazy!!!  I know she's
just excited (this is her first grandchild) and I've tried to be

Hi, everyone.
We just moved into this house in October from an apartment that had a
microwave.  I used a microwave last time for formula, being very careful, of
course (it was a little one with very little power).  I don't want to buy a

After DH taking belly pic today I figured the bump is showing enough to
warrant sharing! Although at this rate I am a little afraid of my belly size
in June LOL
I hope you like it, I know I love seeing belly pics myself :)

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

Well, here I am 29+ weeks along.  Already!
My BP was good.  My weight is at 22lbs up total which is within range.  I am
scheduled for the Glucose Blood Test this week.
Hmm....we discussed shaving down there.  She said it was my choice.
