size of a raising (should I keep it for the doctor?).  I cannot even
explain what I feel.  This is not the first time since this summer....A

My week's just not getting any better.
I just saw my midwife Katie.  She has resigned.  Bloody politics.
Basically she was hounded out.  I don't blame her in the slightest for

Basically I've noticed 2 problems since Ada's birth, firstly when we have
intercourse I feel like I want to go do a number two, even ...

I have been reading this group for...way too many years to admit!
Anyways, after struggling with PCOS for years, and after 5 IUI cycles
(including 2 on injectables), I am pregnant!
However, it hasn't been easy so far.  A (maybe not-so-brief) history:

My wife is 4 months pregnant and we discovered that she has
'subclinical hypothyroid'. In her first test (2 months pregnant) her
TSH level was 11.5 (T3, T4 tests were not done). However, the doctors
ignored that and now her TSH level is 8.3 while her T3 and T4 are

This may be a weird question but ...
Normally I shave my legs in the shower. Now that I am 8 months, my belly is
getting in the way. Any suggestions on how to do this task an easier way?

I met with my midwife for the first time in this pregnancy on Tuesday.

to be at the right place, but we didn't get a heartbeat. Probably in 4 weeks
