I love my doctor!
I haven't seen him in three years, and when he saw me in the hallway he gave me
a big hug and told me I looked wonderful (I'm about 30 lbs. lighter and in much
better shape then when we last met!).

 My name is Shawn, my wife is Jodi. We live in Oregon.
  This is my first newsgroup, so I'm kinda checking things out. We are
expecting our first child sometime in November. We went through a M/C a year
ago on May 15th, so hopefully things go better this time.

induction.  They offer Cervidil or AROM or AROM w/ pitocin.  Does anyone
what to share with my their experiences with those methods or others?
TIA!

absolute terror to live with. She's making accusations of me that are

I recently gave birth to a baby girl (just under 2 weeks ago), and I
have had a hard time trying to fight off visitors. It started when I
had only been home from the hospital one hour and someone turned up
unannounced to see the baby. Then friends and family asked to come

I am writing an article for Glamour magazine's pregancy page; this is a great
newsgroup and I have often gotten terrific help for other pregnancy articles in
the past.
Now I am looking for quotes from pregnant women in the U.S. on how you have

Insomnia - I don't seem to recall having it so bad with my previous
pregnancy but I swear I am awake half the night.  Tossing and turning,
