I'll be 37 weeks on Monday.  Last night I sat down on the couch and
felt a trickle.  I went to the bathroom came back and the same thing.
About an hour later I went to bed as I was undressing more started
running down my leg.  I tried to sleep, dozed really, but the adrenalin

I have been given Versed for wisdom tooth removal this week. After
using Versed, how long do you need to wait till you can start trying to
get pregnant?
How long does it take for the drug to leave your body? I am worried

Hey there...
Okay, I realize this is probably going to start a flame war, but I am
asking because I don't know and I know that some of you will.
DS is un'c*rc'ed.  He is 13 months old.  Up to this point, I have been

Well, Matthew (my sister's baby) seems to be doing really well. He's been
off the ventilator/extra oxygen now for over 24 hours and his oxygen level
is consistantly high.
However he is being tube fed at present because he has lost his swallow

and it's WONDERFUL!!!  Wow!  What a revelation!
It's been gone since Wednesday and, boy, do I feel relieved.  I can now
eat as normal.  I hope others' nausea ends as early as mine did.
The nausea has gone... to be replaced immediately with a very

So yesterday I got curious about my blood pressure, because of the
other thread, and I took it with a home monitor.  The batteries were
low, but it came out at 128/66 which is AWESOME for me!  I don't think
it has been that low since I was a teenager.

I was prescribed amoxicillin for a sinus infection. My husband and 3
y.o. son are both allergic to penicillin. My husband asked me, how do
you know the baby isn't allergic as well?  That one stumped me. Anyone
ever heard of such an allergic reaction in utero? I am at 36 weeks.

I've been off work for the past 1.5 weeks and haven't accomplished much
around the house like I had planned. Basically just sat on my but extremely
tired. This morning DH woke at 6:00 to go to work. I got up as well and
cleaned the ensuite bathroom, then the kitchen, then I emptied ...

Nothing new. I let the OB do a vaginal because I was really hoping to see
progress, but no progress. I'm still at 2 cm dilated and about 80% efffaced,
which means that we don't know anything and it could still be another four
weeks.

Good grief.
I thought I had started to manage things well with my FIL for the past few
weeks, but I guess it only had to do with the fact that we didn't see him
for the past three weeks! We had gotten into the dreadful (to me) habit of

I got my message this morning and I liked it but it wasn't a miracle
cure.  I don't know if that means that she didn't do a good job or if
one session isn't enough to make my aches and pains go away.
She had me lie on my side because of the pregnancy and she said the

Has anyone had some signs of pregnancy even when you passed your
period?  So my ov was 3 weeks ago but my period did come last week.
Now I feel my breasts are very tender, I only feel this usually a day
before it starts.

I feel like I am in the first trimester, the nausea isn't too bad, it made
shopping really unpleasant, but I dragged myself into burger king on the way
home and am now munching on a bacon double cheese burger, it's probably my
own fault for getting hungry, I should have eaten on ...

So the first sign of something going wrong with Scheherazade
was spotting.  Don't know exactly when it started, but apparently
from my doctor's notes, it was a bit before 10 weeks.  At the
time I wasn't too worried about it, no cramping, there's lots

My friend has been taking bcp's for years and of course her period has been
very regular, to the hour she says.  On her last pack, she was taking
antibiotics for the first week or so.  They were using a backup method of
birth control but it had a wardrobe malfunction.  This was ...
