Anybody else have this going on? This thing in my upper belly that I
thought was part of the baby is apparently a large fibroid on the
outside of my uterus, on top of it.
At least this is on the outside of the uterus, not invading baby space.

I'm planning on starting to take evening primrose oil at the end of
this week when I hit 36 weeks.  I just noticed that my bottle from last
pregnancy expired in August.  For those who know about such things --
does that mean they *really* expired, or that they'll expire six months

I had an ultrasound last week (at 20 weeks), and my doctor told me today
that they might have seen a cyst near where the umbilical cord attaches.  
She said the ultrasound specialists (I know that's not the right term)
want to do a follow-up in around six weeks, but she doesn't ...

I am about 12 weeks along by my doctor's "feel"-based estimate, 13 or
14 weeks along according to my false/positive HPT estimate, and this

breastfeeding DD around the time I got pregnant (so 3 months ago or so,

My 23 week year old boy seems to have lost his spark. Its slightly
concerning me. We are introducing new foods. My wife has breastfed since

I've been lurking on this group for probably close to three years now,
so I've finally decided to post an introduction.  My name is Cristi and
I'm now 15-1/2 weeks pregnant.  My husband and I had been trying for
about 2-1/2 years with one miscarriage thrown in.  We're planning to

well, I'm officially 39wks now.  We all here understand that while I *could*
have the baby today, chances are it'll be after my due date.  I'm actually
pretty calm about the whole thing so far (for me) and am being
almost-patient.  Problem is, my family is literally frothing at the ...

I have a number of silicone bottle teats which are no longer required
by my baby, but I would like to keep them in case we need them in the
future..
Can anyone suggest the best way to store them?  They already seem a bit

Okay, I think I can finish this.

Hi - I'm retaining lots of fluid - feet, face and hands - having my blood
pressure checked regularly so it all seems under control so long as I lie
down a lot and keep my feet up.  Just tonight though, on the top of my left
foot I've got a really painful swollen area (in addition ...
