The night cramps have started again.
Last night was a stinkeroo.  Twice I was woken by agonising cramps, in
the same place, the muscles bunching like fists under the skin, me
stamping around the bedroom crying.

I am new to contacts, but it crossed my mind that they might not be allowed
during delivery for whatever reason.  Is there any issue with wearing them?
I'd sure like to be able to see my daughter when she's born!  I hate wearing
glasses...

Does anybody else here have a problem with balance at all??? I never had a
problem in my last pregnancys but this one Im loosing my balance daily and
actually fell over on to my bottom today which was kinda funny. Im not
worried because its hardly surprising with the extra weight ...

I wanted to ask if any of you have had this happen.
The other day my daughter ( 6 mo old) was playing with her Kick and
Crawl Aquarium. She had pulled off one of the toys that hangs by
velcro, which has another plastic toy you attach to it that faces such

Still here. Had my third weekly NST/amniotic fluid level check. All is
well. Head is down. Baby is very active - not so much kicking as
stretching in every direction repeatedly. They did the GBS swab today.
My doc asked if I wanted to be checked (internal exam) and I said no

My first child was born unmedicated and I'm determined that this one will be
too.   Several weeks ago my midwife asked why I was not signed up for a
water birth.  I never even considered it.   After she explained how it is
easier to cope with pain, decreases interventions and is ...

I forgot to tell you all but I managed to get a result with the little girls
mother the other day, she actually decided to take the little one to the
doctors after I had an indirect forceful dig in her direction. I told the
mother that I wouldnt babysit her daughter anymore or go ...

Does anyone know where I can get one? I don't mean the Baby Bjorn
carriers where the concept is the legs hang out, this product is a
sling to tie on so you more or less wear your baby. There's one in
BabysRUs in the States but they don't seem to carry them in Canada and

I take co-dodamol (codeine and tylenol), for my SPD and related pain I have
usually taken it in tablet form, the tablets are quite big, 1cm across and
not well coated, so they taste BAD, I have some difficulty swallowing them,
though not particularly bad (I would vomit instantly ...

Annabelle had her 2 week checkup today.  A day after her birth, her
pediatrician checked her out and mentioned that her soft spot was small but
she would keep an eye on it.  Today, she mentioned it again.  She said that
it will probably correct itself, but if it doesn't, it could ...

I know I must have patience, but I can't help but feel so anxious to
have my baby already! I'm only dialated a little over 1 cm. When will
she come?? My patience is definitely being tested.

I've been lurking here for a while, and thought I'd introduce myself
(finally !). I'm 29 weeks pregnant with my first s/he is due on Jan 1st
2006.
In the past few weeks, I've had terrible night sweats a few times(which
