Do you really actually need to purchase maternity sleepwear? Dumb question, but I am on a tight budget and am wondering if I can just wear regular pajamas sized up since I can get them on sale...how many sizes will I probably have to go up at my largest?

Just wanted to say thanks to all who posted with suggestions for a middle name. I am having trouble finding the original thread and I think I might have missed a few. I don't know why, but it has been really tough thinking of a girls' name--believe it or not Caroline took months to come up with. ...

I just got done with my first doctors appointment though I saw the clinic's lead nurse practitioner 3 weeks ago and I'm just about 14 weeks along. The doctor performed a complete vaginal exam and I noticed a bit of pain along with it. I haven't had a vaginal in quite a while but I don't remember...

Well Ladies, after posting my question about the c-section and the spinal vs. epidural question (thanks for those who responded), it was all for nothing. I was scheduled to have my c-section on the 10th, and lo and behold, my water broke on the 7th at 9:45 pm. Because I had eaten at 8 pm, I was...

Well, I went to the doctor today, just a normal check up. Anyway I talked to him about my concerns dealing with preeclampsia and the symptoms I have been having, and I definitely don't have it. Yeah! I was just being paranoid!!!:-) Anyway, he said that I looked like I was in excellent condition...

Are you making things for your baby? Like knitting, sewing etc? I am embroydering some sheets for the cot (the fold over bit has frogs, teddybears and bunnyrabbits on it). I wish I had the patience to knit but I don't. I'll leave that to my mum. She has knitted some wonderful things for my...

Okay, I THINK I may have figured out which name I like best. First of all, I'm using my mother's first name as the baby's middle name. So, what do you think of: Madison Kyung Kelley. I really liked Kimberly but don't want to have the KKK initials. I would like the first name to be 3+ syllables.

I had my 20 week u/s this morning and everything went well. I had to drink 2 pints of water an hour before my appt. By the time I got to the hospital I thought I was going to burst. My DH came with me and was amazed that I could last so long without rushing to the WC. I'm the type that has a...
