Hi - is it possible to test sperm, from a sample given, for percentage
of x or y chromosomes? Semen analysis check for sperm count and quality
etc, but can a check for the number of X as opposed to Y chromosomes be

I was just wondering, I had my 30 week check up this week and my OB said
that the baby's head is down.
Is this a bit early? This is my 6th baby and I was just curious.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the effect of emotional
stress could be in the first trimester (10 weeks pregnant now).  I am
currently going through a very rough time indeed with my mother and
wish that at least it wouldn't affect the baby, if it is affecting me.

Well, had an appointment (finally) earlier this afternoon...
I guess everything is going fine, AFAIK.
As I thought, and my friend mentioned, I am measuring small - I'm measuring
for 28 weeks, but when I asked about it, my doc said that it was fine.

Just lurking over here and noticed your great news on another thread!
Congratulations :)  When are you due?
How are the gorgeous L's doing?
Hope to see you at mkb again too.

My wife and I had a wonderful life.  We dated for  7 years, and now have
been married for 5.  Best friends, could talk about anything, and a
decent sex life (I always joke it could be better, but shes Catholic...
no disrespect meant..  <smile>).

This would be my #2, and last time I had the exact same symptoms at 10 days
after conception--we figured this out when I kept insisting I was pregnant
and having nausea but tests were neg until I got to about a month along.
Long story short, the timing could be such that I could ...

Sorry if TMI, but I'm just wondering if my DD is normal :)
When she, well to be polite, passes wind ( ;) ) she's sooo loud! Not just in
a normal way,  but really loud and horrible! We go to Church on Sundays, and
I dread the sermon as it's so quiet then, and if she chooses that ...

I'm in negotiations for a job and was wondering when or if I should
tell my potential/future employer about my pregnancy.  I'm now 10 weeks
pregnant.
Thanks!

I just wanted to start a warm and fluffy thread on the non-mkp babies
born this year!
This year, I've become a mummy, an auntie. twice and a second cousin,
twice :) so, I'd like to welcome all "my" babies:

I took my precious time, but here are pictures of Catherine (aka Mlle C) and

My name is masam. Right now I am pregnant from 1 month and my past
history is that I had a one misscarriage on the 5th month of my
pregnancy. After that abortion, I had a pancreatitis and cholecistitis.
I was operated for GB and now I am pregnant again. I again consulted my

DD is 6 weeks now, and though she does sleep at night in 3 hr
stretches, her sleep is very agitated, much more so than in the
daytime. She twitches and kicks. I've tried swaddling her, but she's
*hates* it with a passion. She shrieks blood curdling screams until she

Sorry I have been unable to be online for a few days.  Well I did
miscarry!  That was hard but I know that there is a reason.  Now we are
just trying to look ahead and hope for a better pregnancy.  I was just
curious as to when I can start trying to concieve again?  How soon will

Hi everyone, I haven't been around for a while.  I have a new computer and
just haven't got around to setting up everything yet.  I finally set up
access to newsgroups today.
Just an update to let you know I'm doing really well and loving pregnancy.
