Heart murmer is back and VERY audible. (at 14 days old-ish, a nurse managed to hear a faint murmer. The doc listened many times but never heard it. I was hoping it had just been a transient thing. Apparently not. She needs to be evaluated by a cardiologist.) ****. I'm numb. Jenrose

Everything was going along great and uneventful...then BAM! I am in my 31st week now, and have been in labor & delivery twice in the last week for preterm contractions. After the first visit, my cervix was unchanged - hard and closed. Last night it was starting to get soft and more open. My...
