Just curious. I read that walking helps. But is there anything REALLY that works? Accept my apology if this is a repeated thread. ~Carol Ann

Hello Group, I have a question for all of you here. A friend of mine has been late now for about 20 days or so. I'm not a woman so I don't have much knowledge in this area but she has since taken a pregnancy test which came out negative. Now, what else could cause her being so late if...

Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm 9 weeks already. Seems like just yesterday I had that snowmobile accident and didn't know I was pregnant yet. ;) Well, I had a really good appointment with the OB/GYN that I love. No exam, basically just a consult to review all my testing, u/s, where I stand,...

Hey everyone, just hoping that you all can help me out and that I am worrying for nothing. At my last Dr.'s appointment, she listened to my heart and said that I had a slight heart murmer. I'm not 100% sure what it is but I am guessing it is just a slight irregular heart beat. I am now scheduled...

If I am able to, I am making some calls around. My husband really really wants me to stay with a group that delivers at our local hospital. We have been to the family center and it does seem comfortable, and professional. He doesn't want for us to have to worry about commuting to a hospital, which...

Hello everybody! I had an U/S on Wednesday, as the nurse at my O/B's office last week said I was measuring 36 weeks when I was only 33 weeks. At the time I misunderstood her and didn't get a chance to point out to her that at that date, I was actually 33 weeks, 6 days. The U/S techs took over an...

I'm thinking post-partum here. I've been reading a bit more regarding lochia and how our bodies change after delivery which got me thinking about *our* needs...like care for stitches if needed, peribottle (?), tons of pads...anything else? -- M~Elizabeth To thine own self be true

We are pleased to announce the birth of a healthy baby boy. He was born on 5 January 2004 at 12:22pm. He weighed 3.235 kg (7lb 2oz) and was 50cm (20 in) long. No name has been chosen yet. You will get an update as soon as we decide. Mother and baby are well, but they are still in the...

I had a dr appointment Friday, the start of my 2 week visits. I called them 3 hours before the appointment and let them know I was sick on my stomach (morning sickness comes back sometimes) and was throwing up. I explained to them that I could make the appointment but if they would agree to it...

I guess this would be a non-issue if I lived alone, lol. My husband is planning to go visdit his family from Thursday night through Sunday night, so about 3 days. I want him to go, and I'd much rather he go now than later (he says he won't go later anyway). I'm just a tad nervous since this is my...

*looks around to see if she recognizes anyone from last time* Hello all, I'm back in here again. My husband and I have a son who turned 2 in November and another babe on the way with an August ETA. We're very fortunate in that I got pregnant the first month we started trying! I remember this group...

Anyone have a recommendation for a diaper pail that really works especially with 2 children in diapers. I have used the Diaper Genie and thought it worked well but didn't like spending extra money on refills every week. I am currently using the Diaper Champ, I like that I can use regular garbage...

I thought I would share that theres a new community for those who are due at the end of 2004. Im not trying to advertise here, but just to letcha all know that theres one, thats smaller and things you can do there, and get to know others more personally. Its...

I had my 32 week appt today and when they measured my fundal height they said that I was measuring big...again! (this time they said I measured 36 weeks -- they scheduled *another* (this will be my 6th!) ultrasound for Monday. I'm always excited to see the baby but it's like every time I get one...

Had my midwives appointment today, i am 36 weeks and 1 day :) Everythings great, but she pushed on my stomach really hard and its been a bit sore ever since, apparently he has dropped right down... everyone said that i would know when he dropped... i had no idea, and still cant feel...

I am so bored with my maternity wardrobe, you wouldn't believe it. And given that all of my summer maternity clothing is in early-pregnancy sizes and that this time around I'm in a later part of pregnancy (and therefore bigger) in the summer, what I have, doesn't fit. Yuck. Where are you all...

Help Please!! Granted I had my ds back in Dec though I have had the same issue since he was born. It's my back, when I was preg I pretty much just chalked it up to the big baby I was carrying and didn't think much of it. Though since his birth it's gotten worse. Mainly just when I'm sleeping. The...

Hi all- Well, just entering my 14th week, my morning sickness is beginning to subside, I'm delving into the realm of maternity clothes (yes, already -- bought a whole wardrobe one size bigger than normal that fit me for about a week, and I'm not buying another one -- going straight to...
