Hey everyone!
My turn to ask for advice.  :)  I am having terrible back pain at night,

Hello all, I used to read and post here when I was pregnant with DS2 now 4
months old. I hang around misc.kids a bit and I like misc.kids.breastfeeding
but I've switched to formula now.
Anyway I came back here to post about Todd Gastaldo and noticed there are

My niece, who is 19, is pregnant. She's 18 weeks, give or take. She got a
phone call from her doctor today, who told her the tests she had done showed
abnormal test results pertaining to Trisomy 18. She scheduled Jenny for an
ultrasound and amnio.

I had 3 dreams the other night that I was in labor and woke up realizing
that my bags aren't packed at all and I don't have much prepared in the way
of "gotta run out the door and get to the hospital" things.  I'm due in 4.5

Okay, I am 31.5 weeks.  I've gained a lot of weight and my belly is HUGE.  I
am considering getting a belly belt to help with support when I have to be

I am almost 17 weeks pregnant (in 2 days) & this pregnancy thing is just
driving me nuts.
I still haven't felt the baby. :((( I thought I did, but I couldn't be
sure, since it's my first.

You're in New Brunswick, right?  I just read that you guys got seriously
dumped on.  PEI and Halifax got a metre!  Cool!  ;-)  I hope you guys
are OK.

Anyone else but me have this problem?
I find myself drooling a LOT during sleep (especially naps).  It is almost
comically excessive.  I suppose it's not really a problem unless I were to
