Well, this doesn't have to do with pregnancy, but maybe one of you moms will have some advice for me anyway. We have a really old car (1976 Dodge Dart) and it only has lap seatbelts in the back seats. My four-year-old son is outgrowing his carseat and probably won't fit in it once he needs a coat...

Before I knew I was pregnant, I wasn't a saint. I even went on a trip to Vegas with friends within the first 2 weeks of pregnancy. I wasn't planning on getting pregnant, and didn't think I would because I was on the pill. But, things do happen, and now, I'm very excited that I'lll be having a...

A friend had posted this on a local board and I thought that posting it here would be much better.... ***************************************** Has anyone been told that they had a uterine contraction ring (UCR) and had a subsequent pregnancy?

This is way premature, but I was thinking about whether using Benadryl during early labor would be a good way to get some rest while I still can. I have chronic insomnia, so I'm using Benadryl a couple times a week now to get to sleep. I can see myself being too excited once contractions start...

Thanks for all the replies to my previous threads. I've read them - it's just too damn hard to type on my side, so I've not replied, but I really appreciate all the help, advice, and support. So, I've been on bedrest since Sunday. I went to my usual doc yesterday, and he lightened the...

Have you had the baby yet? Let us know when you feel like it. Samantha

My visit schedule has changed from fridays to tuesdays, so I had another check-up today. I was a bit surprised that I made it, since late last week there were definite signs of contractions. Nothing regular, only at night, but enough to keep me awake. Switching my daily dosage of minerals...

I seem to have had a miscarriage yesterday, at around six or seven weeks. I've had morning sickness for the past two weeks, not too bad but unpleasant enough. When will it stop? It just doesn't seem fair to have morning sickness while not even pregnant any more...
