I thought I had plenty of pads (breast and other) from Lewis.  I'm good for
breast pads, but not the other kind.
I remember there being a brand/kind that had a plastic kind of weave that
didn't feel dry or clean.

Is this normal? For a while I could feel my pulse quite loud. I just
noticed that I can even see it. If I stretch my hand, I can see the
nerve (or whatever it is) throbbing on the inner side of my elbow.
Does it make any sense? My BP was fine when the nurse checked last

I read in a fantastic fertility book that a cervical cone biopsy can

I haven't written much since mid-pregnancy because my server has changed and it
is a hassle, but I had to get on and let you all know that Joshua J was born at

I feel like I should be doing something to get ready.
The crib has been set up since, well, Charlotte was in it - lol.

to worry about me mutalating his ears like I did with his poor ususpecting
sister;)  Anyway everything looks good but they want me to go back in 8
weeks *sigh*  The genetic Councelor was double talking ...

I could swear that when I was trying to sleep last night I could feel the
little flutters of the baby moving-and again this morning. I'm 15
weeks-which is a lot earlier than I definitely felt the last one, but is it
possible?

It'll really be great if you can help me with this... :)
I am writing from Chicago, US. I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first
baby and have no idea about what to buy or which brands to choose. My

I had my 20 week appt on Tuesday and I gained 9 lbs in a month, which
definitely raised the eyebrows of my OB! I hadn't gained any weight up
until this point so my total is 9 lbs but this is what happened in my
last pregnancy, too. I didn't gain any weight until about 16 weeks and

Well, just wanted to hear some thoughts on this... can you imagine.. my
girlfriend is naturally cranky entering her 3rd pregnancy month.. and on top

Just a quick announcement - Ana Jessica was born on June 30th at 38w 4d
weighing 7lb 9oz after a quick induction and 3 hour labour, and only about
an hour and ten minutes of real pain - wow! For Todd's benefit, I laboured
standing and delivered side-lying. All doing well, will post ...

At my ultrasound, they said that the head is (once again) right down at
the bottom, and the back curls up on my left side and goes up to the
top, and then curves over towards my right.  The bum is all the way over
on my right side!  The arms and legs point towards my bottom right ...

Okay, my DD is 8 months old now and I am still breastfeeding her 3-4 times a
day.
I decided to try taking the birth control pill when DD was about 6 months,
but only took it for a week before my supply took a dip, so then I stopped.
