I was just wondering if there are any brands/styles/materials of baby
blankets out there that are more durable, don't pill or snag, and better at
not staining from spit-up etc?
I am wonder what basic brand and style of baby blankets (receiving blankets)

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone. :-)
I'm back home and no baby yet.
My contractions started yesterday around 1:00 pm and they were about 20
minutes apart. They progressed in intensity and frequency throughout the

How soon is too soon to get pregnant again? Our baby was just born on
Christmas day, 2003, and obviously now would be too soon. We both
agree that we want to have our children close together. I know much of
this will be opinion, and I also realize that it is difficult to get

Thanks for all the book recommendations; they were awesome.  I'm still
loving "A Child is Born," but I have to recommend the book "From
Conception To Birth: A Life Unfolds" by Alexander Tsiaras.  It's like
CisBorn squared, or cubed -- a large, heavy (coffee-table

Did anyone have this during their pregnancy? It seems I have it. I ended
up in the emergency for most of the day yesterday because my heart all
of the sudden starting beating at 220 bpm. They ended up giving my
adenosine to interrupt it and get it started back to a normal rate.

Ugh! I just found out a friend from out of town who is pregnant with twin
boys and due in April, was put in the hospital recently and will have to
stay there until she gives birth! All I know is, she was having contractions
now. Her twins weight 2 pounds each currently. Anyway I ...

i introduced myself to the group when i first started posting, but
looking back over the threads, i don't see it anywhere, so i thought

responding to people who all seem to know each other.  :-)

At 24 weeks I am getting some heartburn, but it's not too frequent or bad
yet. I just get it sometimes. Maybe 2 nights a week at most.
My doctor gave me prescription Zantac (ramitidine 150mg) to use as needed
during the pregnancy. I used it some in the begining to see if it reduced

How late can one experience M/S, normally?  I guess I would be about
10.5 weeks, now.  For two days, I've been feeling a lot more nausea than
normal.  I also keep feeling like a cold or sinus infection is coming
on, but things never progress beyond extreme stuffiness (I know that ...

I took wild yam for the first time this cycle, since I have a relatively
short luteal phase. However, I never expected to get pregnant so quickly
and have no clue whether to stop abruptly, slowly or not at all in taking
it. I digged through the mkp archives and concluded that ...

I can definetely tell when Tigger is kicking, But what in the world are
the flutterings? It honestly feels like a large bird is in their flapping
its wings....any ideas??
Thanks

At 25 weeks, I feel better than I did before 20 weeks. My stomach is bigger
than ever but I don't have that unbearable shortness of breath/panic at not
being to breathe/feeling like something is pushing on my diaphragm. I am
sleeping ok. heartburn is not too bad yet, knock on wood! ...

Has anyone done this, or is anyone doing it?
Apparently it's a box of 50 cards illustrating breathing, sitting, and
meditating poses, and it tells you which ones are okay for each trimester.
Obviously I don't need to be limber for a vaginal birth, but I could do with

I have been saying to my husband lately, that although I am excited to
meet the new'un, I will miss our intimate relationship inside ( where I
am still master ;) and as for getting back an uninteresting belly that
just lies there - bah to that !

Just recently had my one hour. I asked the nurse when we were going over
my results for the range the lab uses, as I was curious because of
recent discussion here. I went to a Qwest/Unliab in the SF bay area, and
their range was 65-139 being "normal." I got an 83, by the way!
