Skip over the last two days spent in hospital with a suspected pulmonary
embolism.  I'm no closer to finding out why I feel so ill, but it's not
PE.
This afternoon I find out that the birth centre I booked with when my

And I'm just too tired to tell much of a story, except to say that Emily
arrived ON her due date, the 11th, weighing 7lbs 7oz.  Delivered with help
from IV pain meds as well as an epidural.  She came out with 2 pushes!
I'm exhausted.  I have hemmorhoid thrombosis, which may ...

I was a little worried about my child's father. This is my first
pregnancy. I had a steady boyfriend that i cheated on one time. My last
mentrual period was 7/30/05. i had sex with my boyfriend on 7/30/05,

Just thought I'd pass this on in case anyone could use it:
My midwife recommended this evening that in the third trimester I eat
and drink nothing that I wouldn't offer my (hypothetical) two-year old
child.

Okay, this is going to be one silly question:
I'm not the most energetic person by nature, some might even call me
lazy (not always undeservedly).  I was curious if anyone here would
have described themselves in the same way prior to having a baby, and

I was on the pill for 10 years between ages 19-29.  I had my period the
following two months going off the pill.  Then, it just stopped.  Three
months nothing.  My doctor perscribed progesterone.  Very light period.
Two months nothing.  I had a pap smear and blood test.  I was told
