If you have GD, would you mind sharing what you eat in a day? Although I tested fine at 28 weeks, other complications I'm having now at 35 weeks (polyhydramnios) are causing me to have to go for the 3 hour GTT Monday morning. So naturally I'm paranoid that I have it and have read up about the...

Hi I'm still here. This baby is incredibly lazy and doesn't want to come out. My GP had me call the hospital to let them know I still hadn't gone into labor on Tues. (I'm having shared "care" with the hosp. and my GP. I use the term care loosely since no one at the hosp. has seen me since my...

Girl! We had a scan on Wednesday (26.5 weeks) to see if we could find out the cause of some pulling pains I'd been having. Fortunately baby and placenta looked fine, so it must be just muscles and ligaments but I'm not taking any chances with another abruption or any kind of placental...

I just wanted to share...I was so excited, last night for the first time ever, I *saw* my belly move at the same time I felt a kick!!!!! I really love this being pregnant deal!!!! I am 22 wks, and I didn't think that it would happen this soon. How far along were others the first time that their...

It looks like it will be while we are still in the hospital, I can compromise on that as long as they let us have a "lone" homecoming...

Besides being hopelessly past due for an eye exam, the glasses I was wearing bit the dust beyond repair last week or so when playing with ds. Luckily, I had a few sets of contacts in the cupboard and luckily they feel fine, and otherwise I had an old pair of specs in the drawer which also luckily...

Hi all! I am in my 6th week now and everything went fine until yesterday I discovered some brownish stains in my underwear that nearly made me faint. I am so scared... what would that be? Is that something every wrong going on? It's doesn't look like blood and it's not too much either (just a...

Hi new Mama! We've been reading about you and Morgan, but I personally want to know how YOU are doing, as we have several aches and pains in common. Have your carpal tunnel symptoms subsided? What about the nasal congestion? I'm still battling with both, I wear braces on my wrists and those...

When people tell you their unwelcome labor horror stories, shoot back at them with this one: http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/04/06/health.caesarean.reut/index.html DH and I agree -- this lady is an even bigger stud than the guy who amputated his own arm a while back. Kate and the Bug, 10 months
