As most of you are aware I have been having bleeding for a few weeks now on
and off. Does anyone know thological speaking if its connected to the low
placenta how long I can expect to keep going through this on and off
bleeding. I started bleeding again this morning, still light ...

I went to L&D last Sunday night because I was having contractions about 10
minutes apart. They monitored me for 5 hours and I got a shot of
terbutaline. My cervix is closed but the doctor thinks it might be
funnelling based on my last cervical length. Good news is the fetal

every book, website & midwife seems to have a different opinion on when the
3rd trimester starts. one midwife at my hospital said 32 weeks & the other
said 28 weeks! and everything else i've looked at is anywhere from 27 - 32
weeks.

I had my D&C on June 14 at 12wks following a missed miscarriage at
6w1d.
My OB just called to say the tissue sent for analysis showed some
potential genetic abnormalities and referred us to a genetic counselor.

My SIL is 28 weeks along. Everything has been going well up till this
week. She went in for a check up and her blood pressure was high (in
the 150s), and was spilling protein (not sure of the amount) and
retaining fluid. They were also concerned that the blood flow in the

This morning I dreamt a really easy birth for
this baby.  I was apparently at a hospital or
birthing center (since I was able to summon a
dr afterwards), but not in labor, just waking

According to the March of Dimes, newborns need to get 29 tests for
different condtions/diseases upon birth and most do not!! Apparently,
Mississippi is the only state that provides routine screening of all 29
conditions.  That means that if you don't live in Mississippi you need

I posted earlier about "Could I Be Pregnant."
I have followed-up by phoning my doctor to order some "Plan B" pills. They
are $30.
Thing is, I know they are also more effective the sooner you take them.

Hey everyone,
I have yet another question, and I'm wondering if this is normal or not.
I'm 38 weeks (today, I guess) and for the past 3 or so days, I have major
pain in my crotch area.  It's right between my legs, at the leg/hip joints

I was a true meat eater before I got pregnant.  Then the morning sickness
set in and I had a terrible aversion to all meat.  Even now that the
sickness has passed, most meat is revolting to me.  I am so picky now!  I
tried buying burger but when I got it home, even thought it was ...

I just found out that my doctor is going to be gone for the entire
first week of August.  I'm due the 17th.
How dare he have a life?!?!?  *pout*
I'll bet you a dollar I have the baby that week.  Just my luck...  And

Dear all, well if you are new you may not know me so well, but if you are
old you know me through my 2 pregnancies 2003-2005.  Finally I offer a birth
story.  Thank you all.

We've had almost a month of traveling so we've been using disposables, and
now I've gotten spoiled.  Already today, Micah's soaked through a diaper +
wrap with ONE pee, and this is after just upgrading to super size diapers.
 I double diapered all day yesterday, which means I'll ...

I started bleeding again today, i think its because I over did things and im
sure that baby is fine, bleeding is a brown colour at the moment and it
seemed to just be one episode, kinda like my body is warning me to SLOW down
again. Its just so frustrating that I can not do much. ...
