Ed is knocked off. Just a gut feeling

I'm 40 wks now.  As you know, since wk 30 I've had preterm labor symptoms.
Knowing when labor is starting "for sure" is a bit challenging, because in
the past few days, there have been periods of strong regular ctx coming
every 5-7 min.  But after about 2 hrs, it has always ...

Yesterday (Monday) morning first thing I had an appointment at the
diabetic clinic.  Recent readings have been pretty bad & it was agreed
all round that I should try insulin again.
Blood pressure was 94/58.  WTF?  It's normally 120/75 or thereabouts

I know that in second pregnancies, women tend to "show" at lot earlier
than the first, but do they also tend to grow faster in general?  When

I am somewhere between 14 and 17 weeks, and I look like I'm at least 5

To reduce the risk of your baby developing a food allergy, before
his/her third birthday, wait until he/she is 9 months old before you
feed him/her wheat and 13 months old before feeding him/her eggs or
fish.

Our 5 month old has been rolling over for the last month all the time then
over the last week she has decreased the rolling and hasn't now for a few

Hi, I am fairly new to this group but have lurked on and off.

I know this is a question that has a million answers and variables, but I

Well, well!
It's been a little while for me... DD is now 4 months old and boy does time
fly!
She's been sleeping a good 10-12 hours at night - in one shot - for about a

I am now a little past 30 weeks along and have not really made plans on
stopping work.  I've indicated to my manager that it would be around
the due date but couldn't be more specific.  I am able to work remotely
quite a bit, so I figured towards the end I would simply work from ...

Can anyone tell me about their experience with having their membranes swept?
I am at 39.5 wks, had my OB appt today.  I'm 3cm and 80% effaced.  My doc
swept my membranes and said I had a 50/50 chance of going into labor in the
next 24 hrs.  What can I expect?

I'm planning to put a box of stuff together for a friend who is due around
Christmas, for her to enjoy before the baby arrives, particularly is she is
in a different country from her family. What would you like to receive if
this was you? All I wanted at this stage was ...

I've got an appointment tomorrow and I'm sure the midwife will have

is due next,
I am due in 8 weeks but I am sure there are others due in front of me!!!!!!
