Hi, I had it confirmed at the doctors 3 weeks ago that I was 4 weeks
pregnant, then I had a period got paranoid so went to the doctors again, he

this wrong, or should I get a second opinion, I don't 'feel' ...

Hello. Here is the situation my girlfriend and I are in. On January 29,
my girlfriend finished her last period (normal length and flow for
her). Later that day we sex with a condom on. Around Monday-Tuesday
(Feb. 7-8) she said she started feeling stomach pains, lower back pain,

A friend of mine is pregnant again after having a c-section done 7
months ago.  She is very scared about her scars - whether the uterus
and her belly skin will be able to stretch enough for the baby, or will
they tear, rip, etc.  Does anyone have any experience getting pregnant

I've got an Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 car seat and was wondering if anyone might
know if you can get replacement covers for these? My sister took DD out for
the day and left her dog in the car with the car seat.... now there's not
much left of the cover :o( I don't really want her to ...

ok lets get the facts down first, this baby is due 14th June, my first was
also due 14th June, he was born 28th May
so last night I'm on the phone to my mum and muttering about the fact I

There's a woman on a local message board who made a post saying that she is
7 days past due and is being induced in 3 days. I asked her why and

Everyone else is posting how induction is not so bad and good luck ...

Well, Matthew had 2 days where his breathing gradually improved. He came off
the ventilator about 2 hpurs ago, but about 45 minutes ago they've had to
increase the oxygen.
Would this be fairly typical?

I woke up this morning feeling blah.  I have an earache, sore throat, BIG
headache and intense nausea coupled with alternating diarrea and
constipation (oddly).  I can't eat and have only eaten 2 pieces of french
bread and some orange juice today (which makes me feel worse, but I ...

 "Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a
spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

OK, I've introduced myself - Newbee back after 8 yrs - but am I being
over sensitive in thinking that this pregnancy might not go all the way?
I'm 41 now and fit but overweight (98kg/216 lbs) but tallish
(170cm/5'7") and genuinly big boned (got the xrays to prove it).  I can

So I've been having this chat with the baby on a daily basis about starting
labor at noon today (when I'm officially 37 weeks). However, he/she doesn't
appear to be listening as it's already 1:15 and no nothing. Phooey. I had
nearly convinced myself that it would work.

Back from the OB, and things look good.  In addition to
the spotting, I mentioned that I'd been experiencing runny
discharge which smells (to me) like lochia.  She did
a vaginal exam and said that the discharge looks fine.
