I love my wife dearly and there is nothing that I went through during
the entire 9 months our pregnancy that I would not would not endure
again when I think about the joy brought into both of our lives as a
result.

just wondered how you are going?  how is pudding #12 coming along?
c

I wish someone had told me these existed when I was pregnant with #1!  So if
you haven't heard of them -- find out if you have them in your town.  We
have them almost every weekend and the stuff is GOOD and CHEAP.  I got
single & double umbrella strollers and 3 slings today -- OK ...

I owe Melania a big hearty kiss! :-D [It turns out that not only do Melania
and I live in the same city, we live *one block* away from each other!]
The doula she suggested is a very good fit for me, with the perfect balance
between natural and alternate remedies and medical ...

Does anyone know the formula that is used to calculate the risk of Down
Syndrome based on the 3 markers from the triple screen?  Also, how
dramatic is the effect of the fetus's age on the result?  I just had
the test done, and am waiting for the result, but my period was never

You know, if I had never had that ultrasound on the 15th...
Last time:
* November 21, negative test

Hi all...
I'm at 24 weeks now, and still have no really strong liking for a
particular boys' name.  So, I'll throw it out to you...what are your
favourite names for boys?  I need ideas, and hopefully will love one

Ok had a really good appt.  gained 3lbs.  The heartbeat sounds great.
He answered all my questions to my surprise this time around.
1st.  I'm coming up into my 3rd trimester and since I'm having a
c-section with tubal done when should we plan for this?  He said today

Thanks for all the replies to my "bad 30 weeks appointment" post.
I talked to someone from La Leche League (she's a doula, too) and she
recommended several doctors and several midwives & birth centers in the
area.

I realise it's a bit late in the day now that a week has gone by, but I was
wondering if anyone here might have a newspaper from the 15th of March (last
Tuesday). Our son was born that day, and we meant to buy a newspaper to
keep, but we never got around to it. I'm hoping people who ...

Rebecca Jo's 'bad' 30 weeks appt thread was one of the best I've seen,
culminating as it did with Rebecca Jo making an appointment with another
provider, a midwife I think.
Women should not have to ASK for the "extra" up to 30% of pelvic outlet area

this baby is so high that I am feeling short of breath, not just when I am
doing something, but even sitting down, I'm actually having to take breaks
when typing, about every line. I know shortness of breath is a third
trimester thing, but surely not this bad? I don't know if I ...

Anyone experienced similar pains like this.
Two nights ago It started
It starts after I go to bed, and around 2am I get a pain in my right side, near my stomach. It feels like muscle pain or stitch and gets worse as I try to get out of bed. I walked round for about 10 mins till it ...

Man, I thought I knew my body so well.  Then the whole TTC thing happens,
and now it's like "What was that twinge? Are my boobs normally this
sensitive? Maybe they are and I just didn't notice.  Another twinge?  Or
gas?"

Towards the end of my first pregnancy I had symfesis pains that would
mostly constrict me in getting in and out of bed, turn around in my sleep
and walk up the stairs. That didn't start until roughly the third
trimester and was quite manageable.
