We are expecting in November and we are planning on buying a Mamas and Papas
Ultima 3 in 1 travel system with the car seat.
Does anyone know of a reliable place to buy this cheaper online?  Or any
comments on whether this is a good system or not?

I have noticed that a good number of posts end up with the original post
in a sort of "unquoted" format.  That is, no > or : or *anything* to
denote the lines from the original post.  The responding post is always
sort of mixed up and I often get confused as to who is saying what ...

x-archive-no: yes

EDD: April 18 (not mine, my wife's). You're probably saying, "Wasn't

I mentioned to my midwife today that something in my back, to the left of my
spine and slightly lower than my hip, has been bothering me for a few days,
that it feels like something is popping in and out, which hurts and which
makes walking painful sometimes.  I've had this happen ...

maybe in 10 years men will have babys and give us girls a brake

Has anyone seen this?

Has anyone got any cures for leg cramps? I just started getting them a week
ago (28wks) & they keep waking me up in the middle of the night. My calf is
so sore today I can hardly walk. I've been doing Yoga exercises since 14wks
to prevent them but it doesn't help. I'm taking Calcium ...

I said that I would let y'all know when I found out the sex.
Well the u/s went great.  Everything looks great and we measure perfectly on
date.  As I said before I know when I know the exact day of conception.  You
don't get away too much when you have kids....hehe.  The doctor ...

O.k., I'm worried.  Last pregnancy I got no nesting urge whatsoever.
Currently I am about 23 1/2 weeks.  In the last week I have sanded back a
set of drawers ready for painting (for the baby), emptied 5 boxes of stuff
we have had sitting in cupboards from our move nearly 2 years ago ...

I just read about Hurricane Charley.  Wow!  We have a Donna in Florida,
right?  I hope everyone is OK!  Sounds like it trashed Cuba, too.  I
hope everyone there is OK, but I sadly admit that I'm used to hearing
about deaths from hurricanes in that place.  Sad living conditions.

It's been creeping back for a good couple of weeks, now, but at this
point it's safe to say that it has gotten bad again.  I'm wondering if
this is a sign that the baby is dropping.  Sleep deprivation is
definitely on the rise now.  :-(  It was always pretty high to begin

That's it. I've announced to my Honours degree tutor that I am not returning
to school in September. I waited until my Summer class with her was over,
handed her my paper and presented the news over lunch. She was incredibly
understanding. We're the same age, and she has two little ...

for all you experienced mommies, i have an apartment question!
DH and i are moving in a month (baby's due in 3 months), and i'm trying to
figure out apartments...  it looks like it's going to be a choice between
a small, 1-bathroom apt. with an in-unit washer and dryer, or a big

I had my 33-week appointment this week.  All is well, nothing of
concern, although the baby was posterior during the appointment.  The
midwife mushed around (gently) a bit, but couldn't turn him/her around.
 She remembers my miserably difficult labor before, so had lots of

I'm a little confused. I know an unripe cervix is bad news for a
Pitocin induction. But does anyone ever (or I really mean "at all
commonly") go into spontaneous "true" labor with an unripe cervix and
fail to dilate, dilate excessively slowly, or have some other problem
