incredibly crampy too, and I know the noises or something are ...

I am very irritated because my bp is being 170/100 tonight, grrr after
days of being better.  I am going into an appt tomorrow (today actually
but I am a night owl so it is still last night for me).  They will
probably make me go to the hospital yet again, and then it will

It wasn't what I expected. I'd been set up to expect hours of cramping and
buckets of blood.
What I got, bizarrely enough, was 20 minutes of pointy-sharp pains unlike
anything I've experienced during labor *or* menstruation, with an urge to

Thank you for reading my post.
My wife is aged 40 years old and is currently 18 weeks pregnant. She had a
blood test last week to determine likelihood of potential problems with our
baby i.e downs syndrome etc.

I went in for my 31 week sono today and they have found that I have low
amniotic fluid.  They did a Non-stress test I had a feeling that this would
be done anyway.  The baby is moving around great and everything but I'm a

or punch because it feels like a jab to the lower ...

So, we did open the envelope last night, but I didn't

I just got back from my ob appointment and the baby is big.  I was curious
if there is a place to plot how big he MIGHT be at birth (yes, I recognize
that this may be entirely off, just for curiosity's sake).  He's supposedly
5lb 5 oz at 32w 2 d

If I went past my due date what are some good things that can bring on
labour
I am not due until 18th April but would like to know ideas before then so
that if I do go over I would like to avoid having to be induced in hospital.

I was updating away when I thought I must have gotten something wrong but
nope.  Checked the data!
Christina, Rivka and Andrea all had their Babies the same day!  April 11 was
a busy day.

I think, I suspect I could be pregnant but it's way too early in theory
to start worrying as if I am pregnant, it would be two weeks at the
most! I started to suspect that I was pregnant a few days ago when
after finishing my period, my breast soreness didn't disappear. Well it

Oh I just want to speed up this pregnancy!!!! Maybe I'm just bored, My car
is getting repainted after a pretty big accident and hubby is at work with
his so I'm stuck at home! Dd is at daycare as she goes two days a week, it a

I'm on my second child here.  With the first one, you'd never have guessed I
was pregnant until about 4 months.  My eating was atrocious, and I more than

My doctor told me yesterday that most women don't gain until after the first
