Well I can't quite believe I am this far already! This pregnancy has flown
by.
I am not uncomfortable like I was with the boys, there's no feeling of 'get
this baby out'. In part that's because this baby feels much smaller,

I've been wanting to post, but my server has been down the last day and a
half!!
Yesterday, we went to see the perinatologist.  Saw a different one again.  I
was all geared up to refuse an induction, but it wasn't even brought up!!

Okay, here's another question.  I would normally not consider having any
vaginal exams or having my membranes stripped, but this pregnancy is
obviously a bit different.  Would this be something you'd consider doing if
you were in my position?  One of the doctors mentioned this as an ...

there. The baby is the ball and will you get the picture. It's not that
it painful but how am I suppost to sleep when something keeps pinging

All these contractions and labor signs, and I've not made any progress at
all.  STILL 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced and -1 station.  When I was being
monitored the other day, her heartrate kept dropping to the low 100's (I
think the lowest it actually got was 106) and that is making ...

Two days ago I woke up with a very sore throat & accompanying cough.  I
wasn't too bothered, as I didn't feel particularly ill, and at least the
cough was productive - I would cough, phlegm would come up, I would stop

Is there any way to test a paint to see if it contains lead?  We are
debating buying a bedroom set that is painted, it is 27 years old
though.  We would really like to refinish it to be wood stained rather
then painted.
