just wondering if the old wives tales and/or Chinese gender chart was
accurate for any of you?
thanks,

only lasted a few mins. ( I used to get these all the time)
but i have'nt had on for awhile.....does anyone else get these in there
calfs or anywhere else?

A friend of mine recently had his first child (boy).  But since I've never bought gifts for a first time parent and not having children of my own, I'm at a loss for a proper gift.  I was thinking about a gift certificate to a "baby" store to let them choose what they need/want ...

I asked this group last week whether the things I was feeling in my
belly (sometimes like a tap-dancing mouse and sometimes more wriggly

Today for the first time, I felt discomfort just below my belly button, on
each side of my abdomen, at the same time in unison. It didn't hurt too bad

Well, he didn't do the internal but he wants my GP to do one next week
as well as Group B Strep.  Sigh.  Well, my GP is going to get me all
stubbly because I'm not going to do that again!  LOL!  :-D  He also
wants me to start doing weekly visits between him and my GP.

I am a little over 25 weeks along (with our 1st) and I only started
*really* feeling my little guy kicking at about 20 weeks, and then
only *I* could but now my husband can definitely feel and sometimes
see it now too!

I had my ultrasound yesterday, and everything looked good.  The baby was
sleeping the whole time we were there and (according to the ultrasound tech)
laying on his/her back, so had we wanted to know the sex, we may have had a
pretty good chance.  But we didn't find out, so now we ...

Hey... I know this is kind of weird... but I had a repeat c-section 8
weeks ago, and now I have developed a rash around the incision. My
doctor told me to keep it very dry (as usual) and to use Gold Bond
powder on it if it got red... well it was fine for a while but when I
