Another eventful week. I go to the doctor's twice a week for fetal monitoring and to see the OB. In the first appointment the baby was back to breech again. I had felt the baby flip back to breech again so I wasn't surprised. My BP was 140/96 at that appointment. In between appointments my...

I'm on my second child here. With the first one, you'd never have guessed I was pregnant until about 4 months. My eating was atrocious, and I more than made up for it later. I went from 115 to 167. My doctor told me yesterday that most women don't gain until after the first trimester, but I've...

Oh I just want to speed up this pregnancy!!!! Maybe I'm just bored, My car is getting repainted after a pretty big accident and hubby is at work with his so I'm stuck at home! Dd is at daycare as she goes two days a week, it a nice break but now I'm so bored.

I think, I suspect I could be pregnant but it's way too early in theory to start worrying as if I am pregnant, it would be two weeks at the most! I started to suspect that I was pregnant a few days ago when after finishing my period, my breast soreness didn't disappear. Well it dissappeared but...

DH and I are looking for donated IVF Supplies. We are getting ready to do our 2nd round of IVF and are devastated that the first round ended in a Chemical Pregnancy. We are looking for big hearts and kind people out there that know what it is like to be 38 and desperate for a family with no...

READ ON : I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. "A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this...

I just got back from my ob appointment and the baby is big. I was curious if there is a place to plot how big he MIGHT be at birth (yes, I recognize that this may be entirely off, just for curiosity's sake). He's supposedly 5lb 5 oz at 32w 2 d

My sister sent me this link this morning. http://tinyurl.com/cyo5m JennP.

I went in for my 31 week sono today and they have found that I have low amniotic fluid. They did a Non-stress test I had a feeling that this would be done anyway. The baby is moving around great and everything but I'm a bit worried about the amniotic fluid thing. Does anyone have any information...

STIRRHS: FETAL VS. MATERNAL MALPOSITION STIRRHS MENTORS (listed at the website below): Please help stop obstetricians and midwives from causing maternal malposition by using semisitting and dorsal delivery. Both of these positions close the birth canal up to 30%. See the Four OB Lies below.

CHIROPRACTIC, PEDIATRICS AND PREGNANCY See below. PREGNANT WOMEN: OBs are routinely closing birth canals up to 30% and routinely keeping birth canals closed when babies get stuck. OBs are routinely CUTTING VAGINAS - "PERFORMING" EPISIOTOMIES - with birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30%.

It wasn't what I expected. I'd been set up to expect hours of cramping and buckets of blood. What I got, bizarrely enough, was 20 minutes of pointy-sharp pains unlike anything I've experienced during labor *or* menstruation, with an urge to bear down, and about the time I was thinking maybe I...
