of water has ever come out- it sucks!!

I am 16 weeks pregnant and looking to see if anyone else has suffered
a similar problem.  I've had a headache for 3 weeks now.  Last night I
had to go to the hospital for it.  Let me back up.  I had my regular
doctor appointment last Monday and I told my doctor that I was

I didn't think it would, because it's a very deep one.  However, I can
see the bottom of it, and I've still got two months to go.  The skin
sure has been sore!  Eek!  ;-)

I learned a lot reading this newsgroup and I wanted to introduce myself.
English is not my mother tongue, forgive my mistakes. I just hope that
you'll understand me; I've never been good with foreign languages! I'm 29

We have a little girl due in November and we're down to three names:

various things on it so he would understand more about what he would be seeing.

I'm about 5 weeks pregnant and have had a couple of days where I felt mildly
nauseous, but my breasts feel swollen and I'm very tired every day.
Is morning sickness necessarily a daily event or does it come & go? Is
having morning sickness for a couple of days & then it disappearing ...

Are there any one off payments claimable for a new baby?

Chichester and due to return permanently next year.  Having been away
for what will be nearly 6 years by then, I am keen to get in touch
with Mothers down in West Sussex, ideally in the Chichester area.

Thanks,

only my second employer out of college, so I'm not sure if this is
normal or not.  When I was hired a little over 2 years ago, the health
insurance benefits for the employee were covered 100%, and we would

Happy 34th Birthday to Wendy's DH!
I hope you have a wonderful day!  :-)

The city we live in likes to party during the summers.  Every Wednesday
night, and every weekend (varying nights), they have some sort of event
