I am expecting my second baby in 4.5 weeks time and are wondering if any of the more experienced amongst you know if second babies tend to follow the first baby as to when they arrive.My first baby was 10 days late.I have been given conflicting ideas about whether this one will be late or...

Hi...for those who are name lovers, I'm wondering how you like two girl names I've heard recently for the first time: Mairin and Phelan...a local news anchor recently had a daughter and named her Mairin...C.

Pregnancy is EVIL, it's the work of the devil, made to collect your souls and to turn you into brainless slaves of hell. If you are pregnant, you will lose your soul to be damned for eternal torment in hell.Demons and devils will feast on your soul for all eternity. So get an abortion now to save...

Hello We're living in France,my wife is in 8 month pregnancy (33 weeks) and she has contracted German measles (varicelle in French). What are the risks for the foetus? People say that it's dangereous only in early pregnancy. Doctors say that there are no risks. But is that really so? Aren't they...

Jenrose wibbled Overweight and obese women tend to have a weaker biological response to their babies suckling, which might be the chief reason that such mothers are more likely to stop breast-feeding earlier than normal-weight moms, according to a nutrition expert. snerk

hi, everyone -- i introduced myself in the november babies thread, but here it goes again. :) i'm emily, currently living in santa cruz, ca, and my husband and i are expecting our first baby in november. we just found out that he's a boy, and daddy is very happy. ;) we're planning...

My husband is the best! He just brought home one of the new Roomba vacs as a surprise. We'd both read about them and thought they were neat. Last night he stopped at the mall on his way home and bought one. It's so fun to watch it work! It spins around, lingers on dirty spots, avoids the stairs,...

"Rebecca" wrote in message ... I am freakishly excited -- my sister called a little while ago to tell me that she and her husband are expecting their first baby some time in March. They just moved to Minnesota,...

A friend of mine (male) lately told me: put a TV in front of a guy, and everything becomes real. Well, this is almost what happened at my ultrasound last Tuesday. In the morning, DH felt his first kick from our baby. Next was the ultrasound. His eyes were riveted on the screen, while I was well......

I was *really* hoping to avoid morning sickness this time around as I had it so bad with the first pregnancy. But unfortunately that is not meant to be. I had my first day of "morning" sickness today. It started just before work and lasted all day. Only threw up once though. I've bought myself...

This is possibly TMI for some... I'm due in 6 weeks, and lately I'm having a fun little urine leakage problem. If I'm standing up (not a problem when sitting) and I either sneeze, cough, or laugh really hard, I pee a bit. I just can't stop it. I know my pelvic floor muscles are going to take a...

Laura, why did you x-no-archive this post? Are you afraid Hillary Israeli will see it? -...

I know this is way too soon but I oh well. Want to add me to your due date calendar? February 27 please!

The fact that poor Charlotte had such a crumby birthday made me think of starting this potentially funny thread. I'll start: my worst birthday was when my dog ate my cake. I had a very small party - just my two closest friends. We planned on doing the makeup thing and then pigging out on this...

I have seen quite a few happy first birthdays around here and since DS's first b-day is coming up in two weeks I am wondering if anyone one has any party ideas they could share? Or, what did you do to make your child's first birthday special? Thanks. Wendy Mom to DS 7-11-03 and Baby November

It is 4 in the morning, and I have been up for one hour already, after 1 full hour of tossing and turning in bed. I don't understand: my ultrasound was great yesterday, I don't have twins, and yet, I seem to overworry about the baby. Maybe it was my cousin, a student in pharmacology, who really...

Has anyone here done any research on subchorionic hemorrhage in the first trimester? Apparently, I have one. It's clinically silent (there were no suspicious symptoms like vaginal bleeding or whatever) and was detected incidentally during the nuchal translucency scan. The perinatologist said it was...

Well, I did myself a HUGE favour today. I went to a store and read the manual for one of their strollers! Oh man, I'm sooooo glad that I did that. I finally know what to go shopping for! ...I think. ;-) Lately, since we decided to get a bigger car (we got it - yay), I've been likening...

So I've been looking at Angelcare monitors on eBay, only to discover that there are actually two different manufacturers making a monitor with this name. I like the sound of the Safety 1st monitor, because it has a visual cue for the baby's movements; but the BebeSounds monitor is the only...
