Hi all, just some quick questions for all those who have given birth at home: - did you regret it? There must be some people out there who didn't have a good time of it. - what did you do about pain relief? Was your method/s effective? - Assuming you didn't have drugs for pain relief, how bad...

Has anyone else had this? I'm wondering, since I stopped bleeding last week, does that mean that the clot is gone, or do I still have it and its just not bleeding anymore? (Obviously, I'm going to ask my midwife but I'm not going to bother her with a special phonecall because regardless, I'm...

we got a little peanut with a heartbeat!!!!! Everything looked great, right on schedule 8wk4ds, and apparently I have developed a tilted uterus since my last birth. Dh's face when he saw the lil one with the heart just beating away was priceless :-) Neat how it just feels so VERY real now,...

....GIRL! So saith the ultrasound technicians, anyway, and this time they sounded quite sure. I am thrilled. I would've been thrilled if they had announced a boy too, it just makes her so much more real to me to know which she is. All looked fine and healthy, which is the really important...

Today I recieved a certified letter from Johnson&Johnson. I was thinking "what the..." To my surprise, it was a letter reguarding my ectopic pregnancy. I guess my ob informed them of it being that I had just came off of Ortho Tri-cyclen when I got pg. The letter basically says a...

I'm 3.5 months now. I felt like crap last week but started Vitamin B6 and seem to have been feeling better- instead of sick all the time every day, I get sick about once a day. But today I am feeling worse and sick again......I threw up in the grocery store parking lot, narrowly missing someone's...

Well, we had a very exciting first visit with the doctor. DH went with me, we did the usual weigh in, blood pressure check and then she did a pap which she says she does with every first prenatal visit. Because she thought we were further along than the LMP would inidicate, she ordered a...

Thank you all for your help with my VBAC,bh,cavity etc questions. I had the baby 3 weeks early on Sunday, John weighed in at 6 lbs 5 oz. - 19 inches. I had a VBAC. I had demarol and epidural (wimp). It took 7-8hrs of painful contractions to go from 0 cm to 10, then about 1.5 hours of pushing. ...

Hi ladies, I am currently TTC, and I have a bladder infection! I'm on cycle day 7, with 5 days of the antibiotic left to go which means I'll be BDing while still taking this medication and possibly (hopefully!?) conceiving with the drug still in my system. My regular OB/GYN is out of town and I...

why do they shave you when you give birth.

I had my 20 week u/s this morning and everything went well. I had to drink 2 pints of water an hour before my appt. By the time I got to the hospital I thought I was going to burst. My DH came with me and was amazed that I could last so long without rushing to the WC. I'm the type that has a...

Okay, I THINK I may have figured out which name I like best. First of all, I'm using my mother's first name as the baby's middle name. So, what do you think of: Madison Kyung Kelley. I really liked Kimberly but don't want to have the KKK initials. I would like the first name to be 3+ syllables.

Are you making things for your baby? Like knitting, sewing etc? I am embroydering some sheets for the cot (the fold over bit has frogs, teddybears and bunnyrabbits on it). I wish I had the patience to knit but I don't. I'll leave that to my mum. She has knitted some wonderful things for my...
