I know men deal differently, it's more abstract, etc.
DH is Mr Sensitive New Age Man normally, he wears his heart on his
sleeve, isn't afraid to cry, show emotion, is sensitive and supportive,
even burns incense for healing, does meditation, etc. But he's also a

Perhaps this will help someone else, who wants to know what it
might feel like to MC.
As mentioned in another thread, I had a devastating ultrasound
at 8w5d gestation.  Fetus much too small, underdeveloped, with

Hi there... I'm a first time "poster"...
I found out I am (?) pregnant this week, but today, for a follow up
blood test found out that my HCG levels are going down, instead of
up... which I presume means that I am having a miscarriage (or will

I'm due this Sat and I have noticed that in that last few days the
baby's movements have become smaller. They are still just as regular
and easily tick off the 10 movements a day recommended by my midwife
and hospital. There are just more small wiggles and hardly and bump

At 32.5 weeks, my feet and ankles are so swollen that they hurt.  I'm
watching for other signs of PE, and other than my blood pressure, have
none, so it's likely just annoying pregnancy swelling, and nothing more
serious than that.

Ok, I am on the Ortho-Evra patch and my periods tend to now consist of
brownish spotting, which I don't even need a tampon. Around the time of
my ovulation, my boyfriend and I were intimate. I have a seven year old
daughter from a previous relationship and I have not felt this bad

I have been very worried about my pregnancy (9 weeks now) following a
miscarriage in my first.  I have been taking my BBT as a way of
reassurance.  I saw a slight drop yesterday and this morning.  I will
keep taking it the next few days to see if it is a fluke but does this

I have insurance through an HMO and am very disappointed in my care.  When I
had my first child, I delivered at a nearby hospital that was not part of an
HMO and I just adored my OB and all the staff.  It was such a great
experience.  My insurance will not cover treatment outside ...

I have a complicated question for you guys. I am pregnant with my 3rd
child, 3 months along now. I live in a small town about two and half
hours away from the city where my ob-gyn's clinic and hospital is. (I
lived in the city with my first, and I liked her so I stuck with it

So I don't know if this is a big deal or not, but earlier today I went to
the washroom.  It was probably around 11:30am-12pm.  This was trip to the
washroom #3 for me since I woke up around 8am, which is about typical.
Other 2 visits to the washroom were uneventful, as was ...

We've been TTC'ing #2 for a few months, and I'm about to start charting.
I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with:
- is it okay to use an ear thermometer instead of an oral one?
- I'm on Zoloft and get awful night sweats. Is this going to effect my

So I told Alexander that Megan (his nanny) was coming today since Mommy
was going to work to go help with the babies (I get to go back today to
work postpartum). He promptly replies, "Oh! With the Bobs?"
"Well, yes, Mommy helps them eat off of their mommy's Bobs."

No matter how much time I spend with my DD she is very jealous of DS.  Her
temper tantrums have increased and I'm not sure what to do anymore.  I have
tried time outs and other methods to get her to listen to me.  This only
happens with me.  If my DH tells her to do something she ...

I'm currently 18w3d, and have been feeling movement since 16 wks.  At first,
that was wonderfully reassuring to feel those little butterfly taps when
lying down or curled up on the couch.  However, I don't feel movement every
day, and it seems that I'm feeling fewer and fainter ...
