I met DH for lunch today and one thing led to another and he ended up taking
a 2hr lunch break ;-). Fast forward 2 hrs and I feel a contraction, more
painful than most that I feel, but didn't have me overly concerned, then
another, and another, I lay down, I drank water, they ...

Britney Spears Pregnant Yes or No

I'm tired of emotional fragility and volatility. I'm tired of gagging on my

I'm experiencing something that is very unusual for me, anxiety, I can't
recall having ever felt this nervous, anxious, shaken, tearful etc. I
started to feel this way as I was going to bed last night, I tossed and
turned for ages, but I wasn't thinking of anything specific, it ...

I quit my job about a year and a half ago and went to work for a small
company that doesnt offer group insurance.  My wife, son and I have
been on our COBRA policy since then.  My wife is now pregnant, so we
decided we should switch insurance before COBRA expires.  Unfortunately

Hi, I am now 9 weeks pregnant... I live in the North Shore area and am
undecided   where to have my baby.  At the RNS Private or the Mater in
Crows Nest?
Has anybody got any feedback, views and/or preferences as to which?

Guess it's time to introduce myself. DrRuth here. I didn't know about
mkp last time around. I discovered mkb when DS was maybe 8 months old,
and thought if I ever manage to get pg again, I'd come check out mkp. So
here I am. I've lurked for about a month, and have been feeling ...

So, when you were pregnant with your first child, did you find yourself
fighting with your husband more than you ever thought possible?  Does
it get better?  If so, when?  (and please don't say "about 10 minutes
after the divorce is final...)

So I'm 19w today, and this afternoon I had some bleeding.
My reaction was, basically, sh*t.  I was just about to head
over to a meet & greet event for all new humanities faculty
where we were all going to do a 5 minute presentation on

Just catching up ... read Rivka's 40.5 week
update from 4 days ago, and I don't think anything
since.  Maybe she's had the baby??
Emily, hoping so

I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with my first child, and I'm getting all the
stuff together for the nappy bag and Baby's room.
But I feel very much out of my depths. Whenever I go to the shop to stock up
on Baby products

A friend of mine just hypothesized that the reason first babies tend to
be late is that people without kids have sex more frequently, and so
they just aren't sure of the date of conception.
I'm pretty sure that's not the case - but what do you guys think?  Does

Woohoo!  I am entering my 13th week of pregnancy.  I feel so good, too.  I'm
still pretty tired, but boy, has the libido ever stepped up.   I still don't
feel like I'm pregnant half the time.  I feel too good (except for the
occasional nausea and sheer exhaustion moments)!  This is ...

Has anyone here ever had sweeping of the membranes done???
If so what were symptoms afterwards and how long did it take until
things started to work???
How long until labour kicked in???
