Argh. While my husband is holding the baby, I just wanted to post about my
birth experience. (Motherhood is great! But ouch....I am in soooooo much
pain, a whole week later! read on...)
I had discussed my birthing plans with the midwife beforehand and had told

Rachel has already had some massive diaper blow-outs. That's how I am 10000%
confident this baby is well fed with my milk! I haven't noticed a problem
with staining but oh my, laundry has to be done daily or it would be so
nasty- I can't just , say, rinse the offending ...

...and apparently I've been neglecting my Kegels.

Ladies (and few gents), I didn't plan to announce this yet, so Brigitte,
please don't put me on the due date list yet, but it seems I am about 6w
pregnant at the time. My hormone levels, however, are not behaving as
they should, which is why I am here, telling anyway.

Apparently Gwyneth and hubby, re using the name "Apple," asked and was
given permission from Chris' new booking agent. Blythe after her mother,
and Alison after his.
Geena's boy Kaiis, was pronounced as "Kie-ee-as."

We've all heard of Bill Cosby's analogy of pulling your lower lip over
your head, and my mother was fond of saying it felt like (excuse the

May 9 at 9:48pm, (yes, on Mother's Day here in the U.S.!), weighing ...

With DD I didn't ever feel alot of pressure in my pelvis, It's very
uncomfortable at times,this time I feel like I need to go to the toilet
frequently( bladder must be very squashed I guess) I am 36 weeks tomorrow
and much bigger than last time...

Happy Belated 1st Birthday to Stephanie's (S Jordan) Zeb!
I hope you had a wonderful day!  :-)

I'm 20 weeks today!  Okay, I know everybody said, "You'll never believe
how fast babies grow up," and I suspected that one would be true (and it
is), but when people talked about second pregnancies going faster than
first ones, I would roll my eyes.  Well, I'm eating my words ...

I was just reading some of these stories and had a little laugh ...
particularly those on how to tell the gender.  The actual site has lots of
good info about pregnancy and babies too if you care to look.

My dh and I are ttc.  Is premenstrual spotting normal or not?  In
March and April I only had 1 spotting day the followed by AF, but this
month I had 2 spotting days.  The flow is normal.  Usually I feel the
pain around ovulation, then feel bloating and pain again 1 week before

I am not sure this is the right group, but I am desperate...
I always imagined pregnancy would be a happy time. It's not. I am

with, my husband I work in two different states. If we want to
