Okay, I posted earlier that I had been talking to a doula, but I would like
some input from those of you with experience  about what to ask her when I
meet with her on Friday.
I liked her demeanor on the phone, and she seemed to appreciate the research

What are your opinions?

Hello all;
I haven't posted much in the past few weeks, we've been under a black cloud
here after the death of my DH's oldest son last month, but it slowly gets
better.  Traumas tend to bring us closer together and I think that is also

Is this safe during pregnancy and is it addictive?
I picked up a 6 pack of the flavored water Fruit 2 O and can't get enough of
it.  Even Lewis keeps asking for more.
Other forums I post to seem to think this is better for you than Sweet N Low

Whew, will I be glad in 3-4 months when I hold my baby in my arms and
hopefully my body and hormones will get back to normal. I have found
situations to be so much stressful to deal with while pregnant. I am keeping
this post short hopefully.

I got through to the company, though it took a few phone calls. Turns
out that it actually is the crib I ordered, it's just marketed under
two names, one which comes with the conversion kit and one which
doesn't. They sent me the one without it by mistake, but they don't

Happy Belated 28th Birthday, Robin T.!
I hope you had a wonderful day, yesterday!  :-)

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
in pregnancy?  I am in my 32nd week of my first pregnancy, and am
wondering whether it is safe to take the tea, to help prepare myself for
labour.  I have also heard that it might help to regulate my mood.  Are

I've been reading this newsgroup nonstop for the past two weeks.  I am
very regular as far as periods go, and I can't seem to get the
gynocologist to take me seriously.
My last period started on November 24th, 2003.   I had some very light

I just got back from my drs appt and they want me to have a no-stress test
tomorrow because I will be 3 days overdue.  For some reason this is really
annoying me because the DD is realitive anyway.  Originally based on LMP the
DD was the 3rd anyway.  Has anyone else done this test?  ...

Okay, roll call time.  All you gorgeously pregnant nine-monthers, are
you ready to strangle someone yet, or are you still enjoying the last
few moments of your in-utero baby?  You're almost there!!  How's the
last month treating you all?  Planning anything special for Valentine's ...

I posted this to misc.kids.health as well, but I thought I might get
some good answers here too.
I was wondering if anyone could offer advice. Here is my situation:
1. The day our child was born the Doctor's colleague came to examine

I forget what it's called.  AFP?  Something else?  Anyway, I'm
participating in another (well, I hope it's another, anyway, if you know
what I mean) study to determine its accuracy.  Neat!  ;-)  I have to do
it in two stages.  I gave blood for the first stage yesterday (along
