Ladies,
I think I gave away my copy of Baby Bargains...so if you all could reference
your copies, and give me your practical experience, I'd appreciate it.
I'm looking for a double stroller.  I may have access to a side to side

Hi,all
I am anxious to the answer. My sister just called me and told me her
serum beta-HCG testing result which is about 50,000 mIU/ml and a very
very little vaginal bleeding.she has conception about 10.01 and the

Delurking with a question. :-)
I am planning a HBAC next month after a c-section two years ago due to
"Failure to Progress" and "CPD", neither of which are diagnoses that I
agree with.  I feel that I was interventioned into a section after a

Wonder if any one can reassure me a bit, I'm 13 weeks pregnant have been
absolutely fit and well, just come back from a 4 day honeymoon in Rome that
was really tiring and involved loads of walking. For the last 4 days I have
been loosing either pinky, red or brownish loss, not ...

I took two pregnancy tests this morning, and here is a picture of the
results I got:

DH is sick again-he commented last night that it might be too late for the
flu shot (although I haven't heard any respiratory symptoms). He's slept
through most of the last three days, which I assume is what he needs most (I
really think that between work and me being on bedrest, ...

I've decided to change my estimated "deliverance" date. It was set for Nov.
20. I dreamt I was giving birth on Nov. 17. Then later there was some
questioning, but it officially remained on Nov. 20.
Well, now in week 34, I've decided I'm not going through with that plan.

I remember, a while ago, someone asked about a tool for timing his wife's
contractions for his handheld. I don't remember if it was for a Pocket PC or
a Palm, but I found fourfor the Palm system.
I've downloaded the freeware one, and it is kind of neat.

My wife's developed a rash over the past few days.  It started off looking
like flared up stretch marks and her OB said it was just that.  He
prescribed some steriods that we picked up last night but she is a little
concerned about taking them - apparently the side effects are ...

Now the thread has a new title!!

I'd really like to compare foodie stories.
With a 3 yr old, I feed her the usual daily breakfast lunch and dinner plus
a few snacky things thrown in for good measure. I'd be interested in knowing
what and how much other children eat throughout the day.

I am 19 wks now (my first pregnancy), and I don't think I have felt the baby
move yet.  What should I be feeling for?  I've heard a fluttering feeling,
or even a gas-type feeling.  I just wonder if maybe I have felt it already
and didn't know it yet.  I'm interested as to what other ...

When I was in my first trimester I was SO sick, I didn't know how I
would get through my wedding day, I was throwing up all the time...
well, somehow I did manage to get through my wedding day without getting
sick, but I did feel awful! just no throwing up..;)

Ok I have an hour left of 10/17/04 but if he isnt here now I doubt he will
be in an hour;)  DH is back at work where he belongs and so I get my bed
back after his week long vacation.. My mom is coming out from NH on the 26
so I am hoping to be done with pregnancy by then.  Honnestly ...

Everything I've read says that moderate caffeine intake isn't harmful
to the fetus.  But does the fetus get addicted?  I'd hate to think
that my little peanut will get withdrawl headaches after (s)he's born.
I limit myself to one, occasionally two, cups of tea per day.  But
