Do you get your period when you're on the minipill?  It's been almost a
year since Micah was born (still nursing), and while I am loving the
going-on 21 months of no period, I also occasionally get freaked out and
whip out the p test.  But then I seem to remember that some people ...

I'll be back before christmas to do some more trolling. Bye Bye and remember
only you can prevent kids.

Can anyone shed some light on prodromal labor?  My OB says that's probably
what I'm experiencing.  But she didn't give me a clear idea of what that was
exactly.  Does that mean I'm going to feel this way for 4 more weeks, or is
true labor getting closer?

Sorry I've been a bit of a stranger lately but with Emily-Rose, work and family it's been a bit hectic.
Anyway Emily-Rose is now 6 months old.(photo link at bottom of post, a few photos updated) She is doing well, just getting over a bit of a cold but now has her first tooth, ...

You may recall a couple of weeks ago, I was worried baby was
transverse. Well, she's not according to my doctor. Doctor thinks she's
head down. But she (the doctor) did recommend I do pelvic rocks "just

pretty bad...

I am trying to keep a "stiff upper lip" and tough it through these last few
weeks, but I'm finding it harder to do that.  I have unbelievable cramping
at times, and find it virtually impossible to get comfortable in bed.  I'm
not sleeping more than a few hrs a night, and can ...

I have a question.  I have two girls and both times no pregnancy test
came up positive.  My first we confirmed through a physical exam at
eight weeks and the second via ultrasound also aroud 8 weeks.  So here
I am, a couple of days late, very sore breasts, and the nipples look

I have another post in about this subject, but I've been searching
forever and can't find this answer...
I failed the 1 hour glucose test yesterday by one point.  My score was
121 and I was told that they (my OB group) required it to be 120 or

At DS2's 6 week check up, the sheet of paper they gave
us recommended Vitamin D, but the nurse practitioner
didn't say anything about it.  I'll probably call them
to see what they have to say, but thought I'd check here

I am 6 wks and a couple of days. I saw the heartbeat yesterday, all
looked well. Today I have cramps - low, almost in the groin region but
not unlike period cramps. Not horrible, but more like a sharp stabbing
pain but not strong, if that makes sense.

Hi! I'm new to this site, but I'm happy to meet all of you!
To get to the point, I am 19 years old and engaged to a great guy. Now
I'm wondering if I am pregnant, since we had unprotected sex last month.
At first, my boyfriend and my best friend were telling me that I'm

It's been 8 yrs since I've done this!  And while I know the obvious signs of
pending labor (water breaking, etc), are there any other more elusive
possible signs of labor starting?  I'm only 35 wks, but have been having
preterm labor since 30 wks.  Last night I even had ctx every ...
