was showing relatively shorter then all the other measurements (minus

just curious... whats everyone average BP reading??

Okay, here's my list:

Well, I just tested positive for group B strep.  I'm 30 weeks along
right now.  I've done some poking around the internet and am trying
not to get too worried about it, but this is what I've found so far
that I should do/pay attention to:

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 I had my MW appointment today.  All is well.  BP fine, babies hb was
140, uterus is measuring a week and a bit ahead.  According to my u/s 2
weeks ago the baby is right on target for my due date although the MW first
quoted it as July 25! Needless to say I was quite assertive ...

In my last pregnancy, my feet were swollen up like a pair of boxing gloves.
I wound up wearing a pair of slip-on (open backed) sneakers with the laces
removed for the last 2 months of pregnancy.  Those went in the trash after I
had normal feet again.  Now, at 27 weeks, my feet are ...

I'm supposedly "borderline" gestational diabetic, which means to just watch
my diet.  Has anyone ever heard of still being a diabetic "after" the baby

A local grocery store is selling great big HUGE bags of those little
candy-covered Cadbury milk chocolate eggs.  I'm not talking about those
bags that are like one size up from the really small ones (equivalent to
maybe about two small bags).  I'm talking a gigantic bag that is

Last Wednesday I decided to take a HPT because I was 4 days late.  My
cycles are very regular.  I took an EPT test on Wednesday and it
should a faint positive line.  I knew that any line was good news, so
I started to become excited at the thought of being pregnant.  I

How are all the almost-almost-theres?  :)  Knee-deep in childbirth
classes?  Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often?
Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you
can catch them.  Any belly hiccups?  Those are the best.  How's life
