I'm 38w 1d, and I've had a headache since last night, and I'm a little nauseous. I had all sorts of headaches in the first half of the pregnancy, but none lately. I've had a *lot* of swelling in my feet and ankles, but at my last OB visit the day before yesterday, my BP and urine were fine. I...

I popped into the doctors yesterday to tell him I was pregnant and do the form filling in, suddenly I find I am on a rollercoaster, I'm expected to see the midwife, book in for a scan, then blood work and another scan and it just drove me up the wall, you will have a scan, not you may have a...

Or am I just poorly? I am being sick more than normal today, I feel horrible, I had some diarrhoea yesterday and my boobs won't stop leaking... I'm still getting what I assume to just be BH's, they are a bit more frequent, but not massively strong, and not regular. I didn;t sleep well, so maybe...

I know newlyweds get post-wedding blues. All the excitement building up to the big day, then it's over. I never got that. I know there's PPD, I seem ok on that front, despite all that's happened. The Baby Blues - I always thought this was more along the lines of panicked new mom, stressed, tired,...

I went over due with both of my other two pregnancies. Now I am due with my third, and I am struggling with the feeling that I am 'doomed' to go overdue again. It is really depressing, and I am hoping to get some encouragement. I know for sure that the dates were correct for both of the...

OK, I need outside opinions because I am very hormonal today and am not sure if that is influencing how upset I am over an issue of my baby shower. here goes: I am 21 wks right now so my shower won't be until June or July. I did not really care about having a baby shower (i eloped and had no...

Ok. I was pregnant about a year ago but the pregnancy was terminated. Six months later my boyfriend told me a yellowish milky substance came out my breasts when he stimulating them. Then today, 1 year after pregnancy was terminated, my noticed the yellowish milk came out again. What is the cause...

Sorry if this is TMI, but I've had more than normal vaginal discharge throughout this pregnancy (normal) but the last couple of days it feels like I'm even more "wet". At first I thought it might be the start of my plug but it's definately not thick and it is clear. So, could I be leaking...

Ok, so I'm trying to update dd's baby book. It has spaces for a note about each month. I hadn't written anything in it since 6 months (eeks!). So, I'm having a hard time remembering what happened when. So, what do I do? I google myself! Those monthly updates came in handy! Aack! g Irene

I am not TTC but...........possibly........there may have been a, um, slip up. My period is not here yet and it was due a week ago.. It has been regular since 4 months postpartum when it came back. I used to be late and even skip periods so this is not all that rare but lets just say I...

This is the first time we've tried--and I think I've failed. I think I could be pregnant; but it feels like PMS. Any suggestions or advice?

On 18 Nov 2004 12:05:55 -0800, (Monica) scribbled: I just had my period and we had intercourse without protection during my period (I know, ick). My period has been over for about 6 or 7 days and just yesterday I started having light spotting. You could see the...

Hi... I am currently on my period (first day was Monday, August 28). Tuesday night (Aug 29), I had unprotected sex. I take the birth control pill, Lo-Ovral 28, and I took it perfectly this past month. BUT - during the third week of pills (week before my period started), I took a Z-pack for a...

Hi all This morning I woke up and did a Preg test, at the beginning there were definately 2 red lines but as the test went on the second red line has faded and you can barely see it. Has anyone had this result before? on the pack it says your pregnant even if the second line is faint. I have a 5...

Ds and I were walking to the train on the way to my yoga class this afternoon when within say ten minutes not one, but two different complete strangers asked me was I having twins. WTF? And then after yoga class, one of the other pg women asked me "Do you know what you're having?" I said no, we...

What's your opinion about a baby girl's name 'Avanti'? I absolutely love the name. It has a nice meaning in quite a few languages. Upon a search on this ng I found out about the non-latex brand. I wish I hadn't searched :( Anyways, what's your take on this name? If I have a girl and I name her...

Seems like every woman I talk to has had some Braxton-Hicks during her pregnancy and I have had none. I am 36 weeks along- should I be feeling something that I'm not? My friend who is 38 weeks along has had them for months and is also 2cm dilated. I'm afraid this means I am not progressing...

I haven't see "the list" in a while. is there anyone else also in their 37/38th week? Is there anyone else due July 20th or sooner? P.S. I'm starting to feel like a Buddah. :-/

Are there any other September EDDs left out there? There were a bunch, but some (Robin T, for one, I can't remember the others) haven't posted in a while, and I'm feeling a little lonely at the top (or bottom, depending on your perspective) of the expectant mother heap. Say 'hi,' if you're out...
