dealing with 'roids... by oregonchick
OH MY GOD. That's all I have to say... Where in the heck did THESE come from??? I know that hemmorhoids are caused by constipation, so I have been extra vigilant to make sure I am regular and not straining. Seems that did no good. I have like 3 of them that suddenly cropped up out of nowhere,...

how many women go into labor BEFORE due date? by oregonchick
I know that the due date is only an estimate. I hear all the time about women going past their due date. I was wondering how many actually give birth before? Call me impatient, but I'm crossing my fingers that I'll go into labor early. I am due Dec 11, so still have a ways to go, but I'm...

preparing for post delivery constipation/hemorhoids and stitch discomfort by oregonchick
I remember how bad I suffered from both of these last pregnancy and for awhile afterwards. I want to be prepared this time instead of just suffering. I don't think I had a bm for like 10 days after my daughter was born. Even with fiber intake, things just weren't moving along like they should...

how important are the last couple of OB appts before delivery? by oregonchick
I'm asking because I was just told that my regular OB has no openings in the next couple of weeks and I'd have to see someone new. I said forget it, I've had some bad experiences already with other docs in the clinic and I'd just as soon wait until I go into labor. I'm 37.5 weeks along, and...

exposure to lead from Christmas lights? by oregonchick
We hung Christmas lights today, and after we got done I happened to read the box they came in. Apparently the coating on the wire contains lead, and I was surprised this was legal. It said to make sure you wash your hands after handling. This really bothered me. What kind of risks do we...

alarming weight gain - post pregnancy weight loss plan by oregonchick
I am now past 38 wks, and haven't been on the scale for awhile. Hopped on last night and was amazed to see 170! I started out at 125... This is of course in the evening, when I'm generally full of dinner, and I am starting to swell a bit, but still, I can't believe how big I am. My Large...

approximately what size will I be after delivery? by oregonchick
I know this is a question that has a million answers and variables, but I was wondering what size to pack for my coming home outfit. I have run the range of small to large in my maternity clothes. I was wearing small maternity clothes until about 5 months, then had to go to medium until 7 months,...

not to start controversy, but has anyone ever considered plastic surgery? by oregonchick
I was watching the Discovery Health channel the other day, "Plastic Surgery: Before and after". I was fascinated by the transformations. I'm sure they only show the most dramatic ones, but I can't help but think about a boob job and tummy tuck. Even after I lost all my pregnancy weight last...

just lost mucous plug - what could this mean? by oregonchick
I'm 40 wks now. As you know, since wk 30 I've had preterm labor symptoms. Knowing when labor is starting "for sure" is a bit challenging, because in the past few days, there have been periods of strong regular ctx coming every 5-7 min. But after about 2 hrs, it has always petered out. ...

contact lenses - can you wear them during delivery? by oregonchick
I am new to contacts, but it crossed my mind that they might not be allowed during delivery for whatever reason. Is there any issue with wearing them? I'd sure like to be able to see my daughter when she's born! I hate wearing glasses... Betsy

choosing disposable diapers - which brand? by oregonchick
I am opting for disposable diapers. Does anyone have a preferred brand? Price is not a huge issue, more concerned about blowouts and proper fit. However, if there is a more economical brand that works well, I'm all ears! There's Pampers Swaddlers, and Huggies Supreme, and Huggies with...

breastmilk storage and feeding by oregonchick
I plan on breastfeeding, but would like to also pump additional breastmilk to have a supply for when I may have to leave baby at home with Dad or someone else, or for other such situations. I was looking at the Medela Advanced breastpump. I had a Pump in Style 8 yrs ago and loved it. But perhaps...

too good to be true? Medela Breast Pumps by oregonchick
www.breast-pumps.com currently is selling Medela Advanced breast pumps for $230. The original Pump in Style is $190. Everywhere else I've seen them for like $100 more. They won't list the price on the website, citing Medela's distribution policy which doesn't allow them to. However, I received...

having 8 yr old present for birth of little sister? by oregonchick
I want my 8 yr old daughter present for the birth of her little sister. I think this will be a very special time for me, her, and my husband. My husband is my 8 yr old's step dad, and there have been some feelings of anxiety from her feeling left out or worried that she wouldn't be...

lots of back pain by oregonchick
I'm about 7 months now, and am experiencing excruciating low back and hip pain. I try to sleep with a pillow between my knees, lying on my side, but it doesn't seem to help. Whenever I try to get up from sleeping, lying down for more than a little while, or from sitting for awhile, I struggle to...

can stress cause preterm contractions? by oregonchick
I am 30 weeks along now, and yesterday went to work as normal. A couple hours into my day I noticed that I was having regular contractions that were becoming quite painful. I had my husband take me to labor & delivery for monitoring, and for 3 hours I had contractions pretty consistantly. Not...

preterm contractions and bleeding at 30 weeks by oregonchick
Everything was going along great and uneventful...then BAM! I am in my 31st week now, and have been in labor & delivery twice in the last week for preterm contractions. After the first visit, my cervix was unchanged - hard and closed. Last night it was starting to get soft and more open. My...

i feel like a turtle... by oregonchick
I had hard times getting out of bed this morning. At 31 weeks, my hips and low back don't feel like they belong to me anymore! It takes a great deal of floundering around, twisting and rolling and swing arms and legs to get upright in the morning. I feel so old! I walk up the stairs and...

best way to counter heartburn? by oregonchick
I'm just now starting to experience wicked heartburn. I have it from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I'm pretty careful about what I eat, so it's not dietary. I have tried Rolaids softchews, the active ingredient is calcium. They taste really good, but I don't think they help! What...

she's here... by oregonchick
And I'm just too tired to tell much of a story, except to say that Emily arrived ON her due date, the 11th, weighing 7lbs 7oz. Delivered with help from IV pain meds as well as an epidural. She came out with 2 pushes! I'm exhausted. I have hemmorhoid thrombosis, which may require surgery,...
