Hi. I've called 4 midwives, and they all sound so nice on the phone I can't decide! Does anyone have any good or bad experiences that would help me make up my mind? I've emailed the only DONA certified doula in my area to see if she has a preference but it's been 24 hours and no response yet. I...

Saw your post about sending me the Excel due dates file and I responded that I hadn't received it. I know you've been incredibly busy and may not have had a chance to resend it but just wanted to make sure that my reply hadn't been missed. Thanks. -- JennL DS 06/26/98 1 tiny angel 11/03 EDD...

I have finally discovered the root of why my nausea has come back. It's quite simple, really: everytime I start to think about childbirth, delivery, contractions, pushing, getting separated from my baby, I start to get nauseated. Right this minute, I can feel a gasp coming about. I'm glad I found...

Well today started out like any other.. woke up at 5:30 am and could not get back to sleep for anything but stayed in bed until about 7.. Funny how the days you want your kids to get up early they dont;) Anyway By the time Jeff got home I was STARVING and dizzy and nausous to no end so we Finaly...

Had my scan today. Everything is fine, baby is healthy and everything. I'm doing well but finding work overwhelming and tiring at the moment. A lot to put in place before I go on leave (I started a new job 12 weeks ago). And, its another boy. Megan -- Seoras David Montgomery, 7th May 2003, 17...

My fiancee is a wonderfully talented artist who is trying to start her own business doing decorative wall hangings of all kinds - and this is her first set. The only reason for the reserve is to make sure that they don't get sold for a price that isn't worth it for all the effort that was put into...

DR. NACCARATO: PLEASE SEE THE POSTSCRIPT... MOTHER-ADMINISTERED IMMUNIZATIONS Breastfeedings are free daily immunization by mothers. Few people are aware that MDs are mostly ANTI-immunization. Few people are aware that MDs are in effect committing mass immunologic child abuse - a mass felony.

Hi all, My wife is currently covered under her employer's group health plan. She is now pregnant and will quit her job somewhere around the 6th month. Do HIPAA regulations allow her to join my group health plan? I asked the HR director at my company, and he says no... I can find information...

CSICOP: A BURP IN INTELLIGENT DESIGN (ID) CSICOP = Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal OPEN LETTER (archived for global access; see below) Chris C. Mooney Contributing Editor Skeptical Inquirer

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) Welcome and congratulations, if you're just found out! Do you feel pregnant yet, or is it still new and stunning? Have you started telling people? Started to look around at the hospitals and birth centers near you, taking prenatals? Any food...

My BP was 146/90, but there is no significant swelling or protein, and it went down (134/70) after lying on my left side, so the doctor said I need to rest more. Cervix is still the same, 2 cm. I said I want only intermittent monitoring in the hospital and at first he argues with me about that,...

I noticed she hadn't posted for several days, so I went over to the preeclampsia site where we both post periodically. She's posted to preeclampsia.org that this weekend she was put on hospital bedrest. (Looks like her DH's company loaned her a laptop...) Evidently her bp spiked suddenly but the...

Girl (we think). At least, the OB is reasonably sure it's a girl so we're moving forward with that plan. We're both really excited as are both our families (Grandpa has already gotten over his very, very mild disappointment at not having any grandsons). More importantly, all of the internal and...

There are several sites doing statistical simulations using differing assumptions about the undecided vote, but for the most part they are running at 3:1 odds for Kerry. I wonder, is it legal to bet on presidential elections? --Helen

Hello, We are now at 38 weeks and maternity leave has started. Everyone says "First Baby is usually later than 40 weeks" but then there are so many examples of early births too. So, it is possible to know/assess/guess when 1st baby is likely to arrive?? All the measurements of development have...
