adenomyosis by
Yiddishkeit
Well, I saw my OB today. Based on the ultrasounds I have had done, pelvic
pain, and heavy periods, he told me I have adenomyosis. He told me this
should not cause a problem for future pregnancy, but I am a bit worried, and
have read mixed things on the internet. Does anyone here know...

no blanket?? by
emilymr
Micah's been sleeping in his crib for the last 3 weeks, and since he now
thrashes around too much for his swaddler, we've been using a quilt. It's
crib-sized but pretty heavy (flannel). Yesterday I read that you're not
supposed to use quilts *at all* with babies under 10 months, because they
can...

My current progress by
Kerry J. Renaissance-McAdams
As you may know, I'm working on my second surrogate pregnancy, for an
older couple in IL.
We have finally found a local clinic that will assist us, with their
own storage tank. Now we'll do up all the contract work, which will
hopefully be pretty simple, and once that's done, we move...

Get off my back!!! by
Amy
....I wish I could, but I can't! I've awakened the last few days laying
on my back, despite my own best efforts at staying on my side (pillows,
towels, etc. - I just throw them off the bed in my sleep, much to the
dog's dismay).
I'm not experiencing any funny symptoms like dizziness...

Whinge and question by
Chookie
It is a bleak early winter day here at 18C (64F). One of those non-weather
days, where it's just grey instead of actually raining.
I've done most of the things I need to do, am eating lunch, and waiting for a
baby to come out. I'm bored. Changing my due date hasn't helped much! DS

The afterbirth story by
Unadulterated Me
At my 20 week ultrasound the radiologist noted then something was a
little funky with my placenta. Her exact words were “I’ve never seen one
this wide spread before, it’s everywhere” It was anterior, also wrapped
around the right wall, then extended from the fundus to fairly low down
by the cervix....

Symptoms by
Jodi
Okay, I know this is silly, but please patronize my TTC-induced paranoia.
I'm right in the middle of the tww, and started feeling congested/sneezy and
generally tired today. Any chance that cold-like symptoms could be
pregnancy symptoms? FWIW, I don't have allergies.
Jodi, who really hopes she...

Well, here I am at 33 weeks and still no name for a boy. I asked for

at me. So, I'll throw it out again in hopes someone who didn't reply
last time can suggest that gem I'm looking for. Here's the

Proud of my sister by

I'm just so proud she's standing up for herself on this one. :)
