Family Forum / Pregnancy / Pregnancy / April 2006

Yea, yea... I know... Sounds like a great subject line...
I'm wondering, though, if there's any concerns about dog poop while
pregnant.  Is there the same concern about dogs that there is for cats?  I
don't clean the cat's box - DH does that and has since before DD was born,

thanks for your time,

Anyone interested in a calendar type thing of when everyone's due?  I,
personally, find it real hard to remember who is where and all that...
Who's having a boy, girl, twins, whatever, and when???
If there's some interest, let me know.  I'll spend a bit of time and put

I've been lurking here for a few years.  I'm finally pregnant after ttc
for six years.  (We did have one early miscarriage two years ago.)  I
finally confirmed my pregnancy yesterday (with the doctor), but have 11
positive hpts on my bathroom counter (thanks to the dollar store).  ...

Contractions, that is.  After looking it up for a while today, I think
I am having at least some contractions.  I don't think they're the real
thing yet though.  I'd say I have at least 3 different things that
COULD be contractions and 1 of those is pretty definite...

Okay, so I am coming down the homestretch, though I've still got ample
time to prep for an easier (and perhaps sooner?) labor.
This is what I'm doing:
1.  Taking one EPO capsule orally and one vaginally daily

Well, yesterday was my 37-1/2 week appointment with the midwife.  Since
everything is getting close, we agreed to an exam, mostly for her to
check and make sure that she's not going to encounter anything strange
when I'm in labor.  Surprise, surprise, I'm 3cm dialated and 90%

Is not until April 26... I'll be 13 and a half weeks by this time, according

I know any questions I have will be answered at the appointment, but I'm
still wondering and have a couple questions...

So my doctor already told me she's not worried about this, but I'd like
some peer-to-peer reassurance, please. My baby is 12 days old. The
lochia had been tapering off already, but this afternoon it suddenly
started gushing. I had a blood clot the size of my hand. My doctor says

I am about 8 weeks pregnant. The last couple of days, I have been cramping
in my lower abdomen and pain in my back. I feel as though something is
sbout to fall out of me. I have been having a clear slimy discharge, not
just a little but quite abit. What is wrong?

I bought The Pregnancy Journal and the dating in it confuses me.
Fertilityfriend, babycenter, and babyzone all have the same dates.  I'm
at 5weeks5days today.  The Pregnancy Journal has me in week four, which
I understand is the fetus age (going by fertilityfriend's pregnancy

Does the Church of $ycho-ology allow cutting up the oonie???
