It might be a little late now given that we're in week 35 but I think it's
still an option.
Are there any good resources online on Cord blood banks or any government
standards etc. in that area?   I have looked at a couple of places - Viacord

I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm suddenly feeling ill and tired.  I
just want to sleep ALL the time.  I still have a really good appetite, but I
eat and feel ill and it lasts for several hours.  I haven't felt ill since
the beginning of the pregnancy.  Is it unusual to feel ...

Hey, Leslie -- how did you end up getting  rid of your calf cramps (or did
you?)?  I just had a horrible one this morning -- I think I scared DH with
my sudden burst of obsenities...  Of course, he progressed very rapidly
from "what's wrong?? are you OK???" to "stop screaming and ...

Hi I'm still fairly new to these groups and I'm currently 24w+1 pregnant
with our first child.
I have been experiencing severe pain in my right nipple especially if I get
slightly cold. It can come on quite suddenly and nothing other than piling

still no sign of AF, 2 weeks and 1 day late, I have been this late before,
but it was during the first couple of cycles after ds, which were earlier
than expected (5 months ish). I haven't tested because I really don't want
to waste the money on a negative test, so I'm just ...

I'm a long time lurker who decided to stick my head out and ask a
question.  I hope some of you may be able to help me.
Just passed my 12th week of pregnancy *happy dancing* and am now
looking into baby stuff.  An expensive foray, as many of you know.

... to call her?
I have asked my dearest friend Diane to assist me and DH during our baby's
delivery. She agreed with a great show of positive emotions.  My midwife has
no problem with that, but she suggests I don't call my friend "too early

Have we had one yet?
Me - I'll be 32 on the 26th
(My mom will also be 62 on the 7th.)

Can somebody please tell me where I can buy 'Forever Friends' stuff. We have
looked everywhere and can't seem to find their range of things. Where in the
UK can you buy these things like baby clothes, linen, toys, accessories
etc.?

I gained 4 lbs in 4 weeks and I'm only 20 weeks along! Better lay off of
those sweets! Although I hadn't gained anything prior to that. Came as a bit
of a shocker though after hardly gaining anything the previous months.

I have ben debating what to dress her in. Would a onesie, layette nightgown
and a blanket be enough for mid-November in the Northeast? The temps could
be as low as 20 degrees. I don't want to overdress her as I am afraid of her
suffocating in the car seat. I have a bunting, but ...

Based on the tests, I know it's just edema, not PE, but I'm really getting
annoyed with the swelling in my hands. It's not nearly what I had last time,
but it's just enough that my joints don't bend right (and hurt!) and when I
try to do fine stuff, or even something like opening a ...

Is this another one of those AOL malfunctions?  Supposedly there are tones of
posts and I only see one or two.  Plus I see answers to ones I never saw in the
first place!!  GRRR . . . if anyone posts something to me and I don't answer,
forgive me.  It will be because I have not seen ...
