blushingAre all the changes that happen to breasts in pregnancy here to stay?? I understand that after breastfeeding they can shrink or change shape, but what about nipples and colour etc? What used to be a nice pinky red colour has deepened to a dark brown - will it stay that way? Will the...

Hi Im new here with a question. When did everyone feel movement from the baby? Thanks, Christie

Yesterday, I had an NST and all looked well with baby. I also had a GBS test. Wow, I haven't had one of those in a loooooong time. I'll probably know the results on that by Friday or next week sometime. I also have a cold. As do all three of my kids! I'm glad we all have it now, so I will...

"Cleaning chemicals 'reach baby'", BBC News, September 7, 2005, Link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4223984.stm Chemicals found in perfumes and cleaning products can cross the placenta and reach the baby in the womb, research shows. Tests of umbilical cord blood shows many chemicals, ranging...

I could probably hunt out the info on this myself, but I trust the knowledgeable opinions on this group and I'm exhausted. I think I may have had a *very early* miscarriage today. No sympathy needed, because if that's what it was, it was so early I didn't know about it. It happened when I would...

i tried to have a google about this, but wow, what a wonderful array of conflicting information i found! perhaps you can chime in with your opinion if you have one. history: DS was born at 36 weeks. spontaneous rupture of membranes then induction when no progress 12 hrs later. i had been having...

Announcing the birth of Sarah Elizabeth on the 23rd of June, weighing 6lb 14oz - sorry this is so late! Just read Chookies 'retirement' message, and now I'm feeling guilty so I've got typing..... Short version: Born at 4.27am after a fairly short first stage (once things got properly going), and...

CODEX, BABIES AND CONGRESSMAN/OBSTETRICIAN RON PAUL, MD OPEN LETTER (archived for global access at http://groups.google.com) Rima E. Laibow, MD Medical Director Natural Solutions Foundation Rima,

Back from the OB visit. The baby looked fine on the NST. Only one contraction showed up on the monitor, though I've been having quite a few, esp. since last night, when I had them every 6-10 minutes for about 2.5 hours. Nothing very uncomfortable though, so I figured it wasn't "labor" yet. ...

Spears pregnancy is 'mind-blowing' By Karen Thomas, USA TODAY Wed Sep 7, 7:30 AM ET In her first interview while pregnant, Britney Spears talks about her pregnancy and the choice to put her career on hold. In the October issue of Elle, Spears says that before she met (and

yikes, time flies! She is a fabulous baby, she has gorgeous smiles and giggles and shares plenty of them. Though I've felt a little low over the past month, I'm not really depressed as such, I'm taking meds and seeing people regularly and crossing my fingers! The bit that really sucks is my SPD...

I know the worry of having low fluid levels. After my waters broke with DD2 I had a level of 3.0 for the 9 days it took for me to go into labour. Even though she was early I really wanted her born because I was so worried about having a cord accident with such low levels. Glad to hear yours are...

I don't think we've seen a post from her since a couple of days ago when she was asking about cramps. I hope she's holding her little one now! In fact, I'll put in a prediction that her baby was born 9/9, 1:30am, weighing 8 lbs even. Oh, and I'll guess a girl (can't remember if she found out the...

Well, you've posted today Emily (unless I've got confused with time differences), so I'm crossing my fingers it's going to happen for you overnight, but remember if tomorrow comes and you don't feel happy with an induction you can say no and walk away. Good Luck whatever you choose, Anne

was chatting to my friend who had a c-section 5 weeks ago, suggesting we got together for a coffee, then I asked her if she was driving yet, she said no, but it's ok, I can get the bus in to town! yikes, I was soooo shocked, I know I can't compare to me right now, but even so I wouldn't expect...

I can not believe that I am just about 5 months pregnant now, I am 19 weeks and so many days pregs and its just gone so quickly. It only seems like yesterday that I did the pregnancy test and I was 7 wks then and it feels like yesterday when I had the massive bleed at 9 weeks. Where has the...

At 38 weeks along I was feeling the time was going in super slow motion. One of my feet had swollen to twice the size of the other. One night I had it elevated and decided to use my camera phone to take a photo of it. I send it to my husband in Korea and to one of the doctors. That led to the...

With a few minutes to spare I thought I'd update you on how we are doing. In short: better than I ever hoped or expected. The twins are doing great, DS1 is coping very well. I'm recovering from the c-section and my back has improved enormously. Given that it is exactly 4 weeks ago today, I cannot...
