Hi, I'm due July 25th, and I have a son Lucas who will be 2 later this
month. We know that the baby is a boy and were having ALOT of trouble
finding a name that sounds good/like Lucas. I dont want a name that
really sounds LIKE Lucas but sounds good WITH Lucas. I think Lucas is

I asked a little while back about what appeared to be a long luteal phase,
yet again, this month, ovulation seemed to occur early, day 10ish, but then
I had more ovulation signs on days 21-24ish, which would be much more normal
for me, DD was conceived with ovulation on day 23, ...

Well my second daughter arrived just before Emily's Shiloh :)

My 8 week old has started to produce green poo, he is bottle fed and
seems normal otherwise, is this normal or could he have a bug or something?
Thanks.

Shiloh David R_______n  ;) was born on Sunday, April 22, at 11.30 AM.
8 pounds 9 oz, 21 inches long, and a VBAC!!   Plus my heart was fine
this time. :)  I also had almost every intervention in the book and
Todd Would Not Have Been Pleased, but I'll tell the birth story

All seems to be going well. Fundal height is actually 33cm which is amazing
as with #2 it was only 29cm. Slightly small as I was 33+6, but still in

Hi ladies
I hope you can advise, as I've freaked myself out a little.
A few months ago, ( i can't remeber if I posted about this at the time or
not) I was out with my best friend when I noticed a red mark around the size

I'm 18 weeks pg, and for the past week or so I've been feeling a strange
numb/tingly feeling in my ribcage.  It's localized on the right side, under
my boob just below where my bra typically sits.  The funny thing is that the
feeling usually happens when I'm not wearing a bra, or ...

So how are the children? Are you planning on more-or hoping for more maybe?
Just sticking around to give your expertise?

A while ago I wrote that I had not given my midwife a gift after she'd
helped with the homebirth of my first baby. I felt really guilty about
this omission, but it seemed too late by then to do anything about
it.  Now my six-week postpartum visit is coming up after my second

This is meant to be the best time of pregnancy. So make the most of it? Are
you showing now?

My wife had a prenatal anatomy ultrasound at 20 weeks yesterday. It
lasted about 40 min. My wife's pregnancy has been normal and no
problems were revealed during the test. Towards the end of the test we
learned that the operator was inexperienced. We are worried our baby

I touched on this in the TTC thread but would be grateful for info
from anyone who has BTDT.  How can you chart your temp successfully
when a toddler wakes you up at wildly varying but undignified hours?
Charting signs other than temps on their own has not brought us much

I'm due to have my coil removed on Tuesday. I've heard some stories of women
who have been cut as it comes out and others who have had no problems. Just
wondered if there is anything I should know or should be doing?
Cheers

Is there any reason one pregnancy shows up on a regular home test a full
week before a period is due, and with another pregnancy even the "early"
(more sensitive/up to 5 days before a period is due) test won't show a
positive until after a period is missed?
