I last posted a message about my concern of a clot passed while on
bedrest in the hospital with complete placenta previa.  A few hours
after my post, I awoke to extreme hemmorhaging (nurses said over a unit

Hale is here!
The vital statistics:  Hale was born at 2:57 p.m. on 6/2/06, and was 9
pounds 3 ounces, and 21 1/2 inches long.
For a number of reasons, we opted for an induction on Friday, June 2.

Hey all.  If you have any advice or experience, I'd appreciate it if
you shared.
Last Saturday, when Hale was a day old, the ped noticed he made a funny
sound when breathing in while he was crying.  I can't remember the word

I hope you are ok.  I hope you didnt get run off by idiots.

I'll go for Wednesday, not comitting to time of day!, 7lb straight and head

I did a home pregnancy test a few days ago and 2 lines showed up. 1 line was
really dark and the other was a lot more faint, almost hardly visible (but
definitely there!) Does this mean that I am pregnant?

arrival, I hope all is well with both you and her!!

and about an hour and a half ago, I counted and it was 118bpm... Just now,
it was at 126bpm.

I was going to post this in one of the pregnancy loss newgroups but seems
all of them have a readership of zero. At least on my news server they do. I
know that people here have been through similar predicaments. I hope this is
alright... So here it is:

Had my  homevisit and 36 week appt last night and all is well :). Heart
beating strongly, BP still good, baby still in position although this
time he/she was straight, like a torpedo aiming to head out..... he/she
has been head down for ages.

Since my last post on May 27, "Stuck in Hospital"...
We were doing so good today, hadn't bled for a day, been in hospital
this time for a week, when tonight at 11:30pm I started to gush blood
again... followed by contractions... followed by passing a 5 cm x 3 cm

Hello, Group:
Yesterday, on Friday my Wife had NT scan performed.  The results were
very concerning.  The doctor called us with the new that our baby might
have Down Syndrome, since the Neck fold measured at 5.9 mm.

Ticking biological clock no longer just for women
Gentleman, the biological clock may toll for thee, as well. New
findings released yesterday by separate American and French research
teams indicate that a man's age can compromise his fertility -- a

This might sound silly, but I am not sure if my waters are leaking... I
have tried to Google, but it's not helping...

cramps for a couple of hours that haven't improved when I went for a

Do you guys know which would be safe to use when you are pregnant or
trying to be?
