   I've been reading this newsgroup for a while and I was hoping you could
help me.  I've looked around online for an answer to my question but nothing
I've found so far seems to be exactly what I am looking for.  My husband and
I are TTC.  I've been tracking my ovulation using ...

as the article points out the fact the women is taking antidepressants may
mean they are more likely to have all sorts of other problems. Also, as far
as I can tell it wasn't considering different SSRIs, but just any SSRI,

Just had a quick question.  Last Friday I had my first ultrasound and
measured 6 weeks 5 days with a heart rate of 132BPM.  Today, exactly 1
week later I measured 8 weeks, which I assume is good measuring 2 days
ahead?  But the heart rate was 176 BPM.  Doctor didn't seem concerned

Umm...  I am having a rather embarassing varicose vein problem.  I
think I've had the veins for at least a few weeks now, but two weeks
ago they were brought to my attention when I was "spotting," and they
were blamed as a possible reason, and now for the last few days they

My mother passed away this past fall and my father has taken to
emailing all of his children a daily "journal" so that he can share
with us what has gone on during his day.  I found the entry he wrote
for my oldest sister's birthday an interesting comparison to how my

states "When deciding to stay at home or go back to work, we decided we
just couldn't put our child in daycare." and then goes on to say what a
great environment she'd provide for someone looking for childcare?
It seems a bit odd. Or am I misinterpreting?

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have been dealing with this pain for a couple
weeks now.
It's not uterine (at least I really don't think so), it seems to be

I love you this much!

Someone send this to me. Bring a joyful tear to my eye, I thought of
all the moms, gandmothers, and moms-to-be. So this is for all of you to
enjoy!
Before I was a Mom   I slept as late as I wanted and never worried

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience...
I have narcolepsy, so I have vivid dreams anyway. Since I have been
pregnant, I have dreamt about the baby and pregnancy, which I think is
probably normal.

What baby swings worked for everyone here?  I know the new baby may not
even like it, but I'd like to get her at least something new that her
big sister didn't have!!

I have a bit of a dumb question but hopefully someone can help. Get out
your calendars, ladies. I got my period Friday, March 31 late in the
evening, like 8 p.m.. It was spotty but went to full flow over night.
Question 1: do I count March 31 as "day one" of my period, even though

I've thrown up now 4 times in the last 5 days or so...
First time, I was standing outside in the parking lot... DH was hooking some
stuff up in the car and I started coughing and threw up... Might be TMI,
buuut... I blamed getting sick on coughing.

I was talking to my DH last night and telling him... I really have to
wonder about the phrase "the baby just kicked".  Frankly, this baby
almost never kicks.  She pushes... methodically and very hard.  "Hmm...
I think I'll push my foot out over here for a while.  Now I think I'll
