Now, I know that I'm not suffering morning sickness nearly as bad as many people (no puking to date), but this time is so much worse than the last two! I think it's partially because I'm just trying to keep up with two kids; a little because I'm a bit older than before; partially because I've been...

I have been getting like a tighening feeling down the lower part of my tummy. Is this BH? I know I have been pregnant 3 times not but I cant really remember feeling BHS until being real later in pregnancy like after 30 wks. I am about 20 wks now so could it be?

Ginger ale helps with my nausea, I've found -- and if it's just a placebo, I don't want to know. I don't normally drink soda. Any recommendations for particular brands of ginger ale? I've been drinking Reed's extra strong, but it's too sweet and I'd like even more ginger taste. (I'm in the USA, as...

Well, I got a positive pregnancy test yesterday! We've only been trying for 2 months, I went off the pill exactly 2 months ago! My 22 month old is going to be a big sister! :) I'm worrying about silly things now, like how many extra calories should I be eating since I was on a diet up until...

All, Well, things are cruising along here. Taylor started preschool today (just a one hour orientation), and then begins on Tuesday for her full class (3 hours). She did great and had an awesome time. It's a big class -- 32 kids, but she wasn't phased by the crowds or the chaos. I was so...

As I've posted in other threads, I did make it to the wedding after all. Thought I'd post a few anecdotes for everyone's amusement. First, I should say that the bride has been described as the "love child of Martha Stewart and McGuiver" --- she's really good at making beautiful things, and...

Hi, Once the baby has been born, how is one expected to transport the baby home following delivery, when using a car. Is it a requirement that there is a fitted car seat. I assume that this is the case, but people have told me conflicting

Does anyone experience over-worrying about if their baby will be healthy? I'm 33 weeks and find myself worrying sometimes. I know it's silly, but I hear these horror stories. This is my first child, which probably has something to do with my nervousness.

Hello everyone, I have a question about pains of pregnancy.:-) Whenever I lay on my back, my lower abdomen starts hurting (like a spasm) and I have to change position. This also happens when I am laying on my left side. I also get these pains when I am sitting sometimes.... I am 12 weeks pregnant....

i know most 2nd babies don't generally engage until labour, but when they do engage early it doesn't mean labour is close does it? it could mean labour is still many, many weeks away? and when they engage early, can they "un-engage" again? -- elizabeth (in australia) DS 20th august 2002 #2 due...

It's been a while since I even lurked in this group, but when I was TTC and PG with DS, I spent a lot of time here. I lurked a little yesterday, looking for familiar names and have only seen a few. I think I'm back! After nursing DS for 14 months, we stopped BF in February. Since then, I really...

I'm 6 months now, and I'm starting to feel like I'm "going down the tube". Some days I have tons of energy, but other days, I'm dragging my tail feathers all day long. I'm starting to retain alot of water, and I look so swollen. For some reason, I'm beginning to break out in pimples all over...
