because we're ttc, simply because my prescription ran out and I haven't
gotten myself back into the office.  So last month, I had a normal period.
This month, however, it hasn't shown up, and I'm now 37 ...

We have two friends with very small children (1 with an 8 mo. old baby
and another with a 2 yr. old baby)  who had tubal ligations
immediately after giving birth and now are pregnant!
One had her procedure done in CA the other in TN.  Has anyone here on

Anyone have any thoughts/facts on using a laptop while you're
pregnant?  As in, sitting with the computer on your lap, not just at a
desk.  DH looked at me last night and said I was probably irradiating
the baby, since the computer basically was on top of my uterus.

We're planning a home birth this time and I've been thinking about birthing

I want to try squatting this time and I was wondering if there ...

I had a tubal ligation last august, cut and cauterized.  I always had
a regular cycle before the surgery and also  after. either day 29 or

So I started spotting yesterday..
went in for an ultrasound this morning...I would have been almost 10
weeks pregnant.  Saw a little baby....head, eyes, body, legs, arms....
no heartbeat.  The baby died about 2 weeks ago.

just a test - hopefully my antispam address has worked!? such an illiterate!
my name is fiona, aged 35, from australia. was a (very) regular about 6
years years ago while pregnant with my daughter and then disapperared when
she was about 18mos when my husband had a serious ...

quick question. i am 9weeks now and have just had another read of my
antenatal blood test results.
my HCG level was 24450 IU/L at 5weeks 6days...is that pretty high? or still
within the realms of normal?

I've posted here a couple of times in the past, but now I'm pregnant,
due around September 12!  I feel a bit superstitious posting when we
haven't even told many people yet, but I had my first midwives'
appointment on Monday, and everything seems okay so far, given that
