Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / November 2004

I called the case manager today (after getting a letter which basically
stated that all care after October 25 was denied and that I was financially
screwed, since I was at a private hospital) and according to her, everything
for the last hospital stay has been approved on the ...

Any comments on the Slingeeze Baby Sling? I want to get a sling for Sina
& need recommendations. Please put in mind that I do have a bad back &
she refuses the carrier completely.

Wife is been having cold chills after the pregancy (gave birth to baby
7 days ago).  is this normal? what's causing it?  she suddenly gets
very cold, is it because of low/hight blood pressure or excess
bleeding.  does that make any sense? did anybody have such issues

I hope she's lurking and sees this.  I also miss hearing about Rachel.

Once more I have reached the end of my patience! I have to vent or I
will lose it!
I mean I love Sina with all of my heart, but she has an attitude! I
mean, how can a child so young (not even 3 months old) have an attitude

Lest anyone think I'm off having a baby or something :-p  I thought I'd let you
know that I don't expect to be on the computer much after this afternoon until
Monday.  My best friend from college is coming all the way from Minnesota to
spend a few days here and pamper me. :-)  She ...

I have been reading the posts on this group. I am trying to get
pregnant from about 8 months. This months I have tender breasts, I
read that this could be a pregnancy symptom. I don't have tender
breast in normal mensrual time. But i don't have any other symptom

Hi,  I am now about 34 1/2 weeks, and I'm sure the baby has dropped.  I
thought this didn't happen till much later in a 2nd pregnancy, if at all.
My clothes are fitting differently, and I'm getting shooting pains in the
inside leg muscles from where the nice wee thing is sitting on ...

I know that if I asked, I could be induced any time.  Now you all know, and I
know, that I don't really want to do that.    But I am SO miserable.
I can't sleep at night about half the time due to discomfort and panic attacks.
I am so tired I can't do anything useful all day.  I am ...

How are all the almost-almost-theres?  :)  Knee-deep in childbirth
classes?  Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often?
Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you

I've been mulling this over for a couple of days now.  Helen challenged me
to a race to see which one of us would deliver first.  Since I'm a
particularly poor loser and certain to go overdue I haven't taken up the
challenge ;-)

I put Ivory snow on the shopping list, since I have a lot of  baby clothes
from different sources to wash, and my husband was shocked at how expensive
it was. Is it really any different from the dye free, scent free stuff we
usually get? It's not bad as long as I'm just washing baby ...

I'm sure this has been asked recently but couldn't find the thread.  (It
may even have been me who asked it, in which case my apologies & put it
down to pregnancy brain-melt.)
I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant going to have to go back to work when

OK, this is getting ridiculous.  It will be 9 weeks tomorrow and I'm
still bleeding.  I haven't bled continuously, but it's pretty darn close
to that.  The approximate course of events:
- lots of bright red bleeding the first few days

I was wondering if anyone was having this problem and maybe had a
reason and solution.  I am usng the disposable drops ins, and the flow
of formula out of the nipple is fine at the beginning of feeding, but
after awhile, the formula no longer flows out of the nipple freely.  I
