I am very irritated because my bp is being 170/100 tonight, grrr after days of being better. I am going into an appt tomorrow (today actually but I am a night owl so it is still last night for me). They will probably make me go to the hospital yet again, and then it will probably go down yet...

This is something I certainly don't remember in my last pregancy, but all day today I have been so flatulent! (Sorry TMI) And must have gone to the bathroom (#2) at least 10 times. What on earth is up with that? I am incredibly crampy too, and I know the noises or something are disturbing...

Hey everyone. What is the earliest in your pregnancy that you have felt contractions? I am 11 wks, and not sure what is going on. I sometimes get a crampy type pain after doing various things. Sometimes after intercourse, sometimes after doing lifting or over working myself. They tend to go away if...

Hi... I'm just wondering for all of you with more than two children...did you notice a pattern in the time when your labour began? On both of mine, my water broke at about 5:30-6:00am. I had very different experiences with the births themselves, but they both started the same way at the same...

BABIES SUFFER EN MASSE: PhD (Gary S. Goldman) RUNNING LIKE HELL NOW - "helping" Todd "more" - LOL! QUESTIONS (anyone can submit answers): 1. Should OBs be allowed to keep robbing babies of up to 30% of pelvic outlet area and up to 50% of their blood volume? 2. Should women have to ASK for...

this is the worst part of my pregnancy so far. :( the rash has spread so quickly and is so incredibly itchy. i can barely stand it. i would rather have the nausea come back and have this go away. my entire lower belly is covered in it, my upper belly is starting to get dots, my upper arms...

We still didn't see a heartbeat today. Last Thursday we got a gestational sac measurement of 5w4d, with no visible yolk sac. Today, 7 days later, we got a measurement of 6w2d, with a discernible yolk sac. No fetal pole, no heartbeat. My gut feeling is that this just isn't meant to be. But they...

As a prospective business owner I was wondering what the thoughts were on renting maternity clothing? All opinions will be appreacheated. Thank You

Hello everyone, I am doing a research project on Home births. I am looking at the theory that having a home birth has a more possitive effect on Mother and Baby. Could anyone give me their thoughts and opinions on this matter. Thanks

I'm heading in to my delivery hospital to discuss labour management this Friday. I'm particularly interested to hear from people who had pre-eclampsia, ITP or a similar condition on what practices suited them or annoyed them etc, but all comments are welcome. I want a relaxed normal delivery with...

I posted once a long time ago with a similar question, but have since lost all info that someone kindly sent. Just tested positive yesterday! We're very excited, had been trying only 4 months, but at age 35, was a little worried. I'm looking for a new doc/midwife. I'm not thrilled with the one...

Our baby is a ham. S/he covered her face with both arms, waved, kicked, danced the can can, and bounced on my bladder the entire time. It was hilarious. The weirdest thing was feeling him/her move and watching him/her move at the same time. The technician said that everything looks normal. And...
