Hi everyone.. my name is Jill, I am 26 and from Florida. I have 2 boys, Christopher is 4 and Kevin is almost 2. Hi Joy.. :) I was wondering if it is okay with everyone if I join your group?

I've been wanting to post, but my server has been down the last day and a half!! Yesterday, we went to see the perinatologist. Saw a different one again. I was all geared up to refuse an induction, but it wasn't even brought up!! This guy was cool. You could tell he was more evidence-based. At...

Well I can't quite believe I am this far already! This pregnancy has flown by. I am not uncomfortable like I was with the boys, there's no feeling of 'get this baby out'. In part that's because this baby feels much smaller, although I am having lots of contrax after being busy but I am enjoying...

Just a quick question about after birth... About how long does it take to get your period again after baby is born? I can't remember from the last time since it was a while back. I know with DD, I bled for about a week or so. Then it was completely gone and nothing came back. I'm wondering...

I have no control over this baby, okay? No matter how many times you tell me that you hope it's a girl, there's nothing I can do about it. Sheesh! My in-laws, my friends, people keep tellimng me "I hope it's a girl." How rude. And bizarre. I would never say anything like that to a pregnant woman....

With my first 5 babies all were fully engaged 6-8 weekes before my EDD, but this lil' madam with only 2 weeks to go isn't enaged at all but her head is just resting there.. will she engage in labour if not before? I hope she hasn't got a big head! A good thing is she isn't back to back anymore but...

My wife and I just returned from our 16 week ultrasound where we went to to find out the sex of our baby and we did, a girl! However, we also found out that she only has a single umbilical artery (SUA)/ a 2 vessel cord. We are first time parents and have done some research but are kind of...

There is one problem with pregnancy and complications, in pregnancy you are cared for my a midwife and if necessary an obstetrician, after pregnancy your midwife cares for you and baby for 28 days and then it's back to regular health care with your GP. So this means I hadn't seen my GP...

Hi everyone - I've been quite the lurker here ever since I was pg with DD1, born back in March, 2003, and have posted a few times since then, unfortunately mostly about m/c and the like. A bit of background - I had the ideal pregnancy with DD1 - no morning sickness, no side effects other than the...
