Hi Nikki,
Congratulations on the twins!!!
I don't know how I completely missed it... I haven't been reading mkp
because there's no time these days. I was reading mk and saw your sig

Is it safe to feed a 71/2 month old seafood like prawns and tuna?
I have this nagging thought at the back of my mind I read somewhere it's not safe but can anyone clarify for me.
TIA

I thought I'd me jumping around....but in stead I am filled with this
lovely calm.  After trying so long, the clomid "crazies", and the last
miscarriage when I had not managed to make Hgc (or is it hcg), to see
that line on the lest last night is so wonderful.  I have to tell you I

Well I managed to take a small sample of urine to the midwife and its a good
job I did as protene was found in the sample. I got to go back next week to
get it checked again!!!!!!! I hope its not the start of pre eclampsia but I
am not going to worry yet

Is ovulating 19 days past my period considered to be normal or a little
later than usual?
To me it seems a little late but I'm not sure.  I *do* have fairly
irregular periods sometimes but they've been fairly regular over the

It's been quite a long and stressful 18 weeks. Everything now is great and I
hope it stays that way. At 7 weeks I was having some really bad pains in one
side and the doctor thought it may be an etopic pregnancy so she sent me for
an ultrasound and it showed nothing out of the ...

Hi guys, My girlfriend and I had a very strange day today. We are very
anxious about her pregnancy as she was having some stomach cramps and
mild discharge. We were referred by her doctor for an ultrasound where
we were told the baby appeared to be only 3.2mm and around  5 1/2 to 6

Just a note to say that my daughter was born at home 4 years ago today!
I can't believe it's been 4 years!  I shared every step of my
pregnancy and birth with this newsgroup, so it's seems fitting to share
this bittersweet moment with the group.

I just had this probably crazy idea: since the health insurance plan I
have through my employer doesn't cover midwife care and I'd like to
have a home birth, could I buy supplemental temporary insurance just
for this?

Hey Kiddo
Any sign of that baby yet??? Been thinking about you all weekend and hoping
somethings happening for you.

Went to antenatal classes last night at the hospital we're booked in at and
the topic was pain relief etc - Was pretty good in the fact that they say
they try not to push it, and only offer it if you ask for it but wanted us
to be aware of the different side effects etc.  Also ...

  Hi all,
    I was just wondering howmany of you have attended prenatal classes? My doctor is insisting that we attend prenatal classes so that we can be prepared but I am just wondering how neccessary these classes are. Frankly, I am afraid that the videos that they show in ...

My step-daughter is going to be taking a semester in London, and we've no
idea how much spending money she'll need.  Specifically, I'm wondering
1) how much she could reasonably expect to pay for groceries in a month
2) how much a decent meal at a college-hang-out-type restaurant ...

Interesting article on the BBC News site:

They claim that using a dummy can reduce the risk of cot death.

I was watching the Discovery Health channel the other day, "Plastic Surgery:
Before and after".  I was fascinated by the transformations.  I'm sure they
only show the most dramatic ones, but I can't help but think about a boob
job and tummy tuck.  Even after I lost all my ...
