and I don't know what to do with myself!
Had a very nice send off by my colleagues yesterday followed by an
uneventful 39 week appointment.
The house is clean & organized, baby stuff's been readied, all we have

Now that you said it, every time I lug heavy baskets of laundry down the
stairs, I giggle about how I'm still probably not encouraging labor. Thanks
so much for making me smile doing a not-so-enjoyable task.

I am 30 weeks pregnant and a close friend of mine is 12 weeks pregnant.
We are both in our first pregnancies and both have Polycystic Ovarian
Syndrome and Endometriosis so we are very glad to be pregnant.
Problem is my friend asked me for advice early on in her pregnancy and I

My baby was noted to be breech on an ultrasound two weeks ago.   I'm now 34
5/7 wks, and my baby was still breech today on the doctor's exam.  While
there is still a chance of her turning on her own, it's getting less likely
the further along I get.  The doctor said to try ...

Is there anyone here from NewZealand????

Sadly, I don't think I am ready to go into labor yet mentally.  Well, let me
rephrase that: I feel more ready for the actual labor than the immediate
postpartum phase.  I really ought to be on beyond ready, as I am totally
uncomfortable and having painful contractions throughout ...

I'm eating ridiculous quantities of watermelon.  Probably because it's
one of the few fruits that you can get in Indiana that aren't awful
during the winter, and partly because it's one of the few fruits that I
really, really like.

Well, baby's been riding low, and I decided to bring my exercise ball into
the shower to sit on today.
Now, as a doula, I was always very careful to put a towel down on the ball
*before* a client sat on it.

My sister, who is due in September, is possibly having a miscarriage.  She
woke up this morning with spotting, and it only seems to be progressing.
She went in for an u/s today and some bloodwork, so I'll know more this
afternoon.  I feel positively terrible for her.  She was ...

A few days ago I complained of feeling so tired and drug out with back
pain.  Quite a few of you recommended seeing a message therapist.  I
took your advice and made a few calls.  It turns out that my health
plan covers message if recommended by doctor and is by a registered

well had my 21 week update due to I wasn't gaining much weight.  Well I
gained 3lbs and go back in 4 weeks.  I get to do the glocuse test on
the 1st of march.  I also get another sonogram there to make sure the
baby is doing good.  He did a doppler today and the baby's heart rate

I am only 21 weeks along, but have been thinking about which way I am going
to birth this baby since before conception, and STILL can't decide whether I
want to try for a VBAC or just schedule a c-section.  There are so many pros
and cons for each and some days I am certain that ...

anyone on here from newfoundland?

Tuesday 25th January I was awoken at 3.20am by my waters breaking.  I was 31

Nothing to report really.  Had my check up yesterday and baby sounds/looks
good, heartbeat is right at 140, and I am measuring 23.  Weight gain has
slowed down - I gained 4lbs last month compared to a whopping 9lbs the month
before.  I talked to my OB about VBAC and what I am ...
