My wife is currently in labour.  This is our first, so we're not really sure
what to expect.  She had her first contractions about 2 hours ago, but they
*appear* to be quite regular now... not quite at the 5 mins stage, but
getting there...

Two duck hunters and their dogs aren't having any luck.
One turns to the other and says,
"Maybe we aren't throwing the dogs high enough."

Today was my 18+ week with the midwife, which went well (baby sounds good,
etc)  However, I still need a whole gamut of blood tests-there hasn't been
one appointment without one yet-to follow up on my decade plus issue of
being ANA+  So far all my pregnancies have been normal and I ...

My sister is getting married this weekend. We've got lots of family in town.
I adore them, but had the weirdest moment today... My aunt said to my
grandma, "We'll have to go over to her house to see how she's decorating the
baby's room so you can get the colors right... " (dunno ...

I have a question. Is it normal for cycles to change completely after 25
years? My normal was 6.5 - 7.5 days since I first started way back when.
They didn't change much after the first 6 kids, other than being a day
longer after #6 and a bit heavier. So my baby Z is 16 months ...

Does anyone here take fluoride during pregnancy?  Our city water supply is
unfluoridated, and since I give the kids fluoride tablets daily, I am
wondering if I should give this baby a jumpstart by taking it myself.  I
slightly remember my OB from #1 having me take fluoride, but we ...

Hi All again!
I am getting to my ovulation time (I am on day 10 and have 27-28 day cycles
normally)and have just bought the ovulation testing kit thingie.  According
to Shettles (and in trying for a boy) you should have intercourse 12-24 hrs

This day is getting better and better! Rachel rolled over 3 or 4 different
times, from her back to her tummy! She has rolled over once from her stomach
to her back, yesterday I think. She has made amazing leaps this week since
we have been freaking out over the neurologist thing and ...

Does any one here use Enfamil or Similac formula? I have some of those
checks and I hate to see them go to waste $4 and $5 off of Enfamil mostly,
but also have some Similac ones I think. I have quite a few Enfamil ones I
think, in different amounts up to $5.....

My wife gave birth to a stillborn baby on 4th september 2004.She was
32 weeks pregnant at that time.We are still waiting for the post
mortem report to give us any clue why it all happened.
We are in UK at present but our(both me and my wife) families are from

One quick question, One thing the neuro DID say , and about the ONLY thing
she "found" truly, was that she can't seem to get Rachel's right leg to move
when she taps under her knee area with her mallet or whatever you call it.
At 4 months old what does this mean? Has anyone ever had ...

Is this possible? I woke up this morning feeling nauseated, and it hasn't
left me since...
I am now 31 weeks... I remember reading something about this on this ng, but
I didn't pay enough attention... Anyone experienced that?

Need your help friends….I am in a big dilemma. I am 34 weeks pregnant
and expecting a baby in October. I have been trying for a job in
Schaumburg (where I live) for quite some time now and finally got a
call from an excellent company just 1 mile from home. I would say this

I went to the gyno today to get a different kind of birth control but
she convinced me to take the pill -forever. She said don't stop, ever.
Don't ever take a week off...just keep going. She said there will be
spotting to start but(and it might take 6 months or so)I'd eventually

I mean, I am not pregnant anymore, nor TTC. I don't even have a newborn
anymore, just a baby.
