I was wondering if any of you had to have a D&C after a miscarriage? I'm not sure if I will have to have one cuz my ob said some times its not nessasary. I was curious as to how long it takes and if you feel any pain? They knock you out right? Julie

Short version: everything's fine, and it seems there is no chance I'll go into labour any time soon! Long version: - urine: sterile - blood pressu 110/80 - weight: 0 lbs gained in the last 2 weeks (total weight gain: 30 lbs) - swelling: light - feet - fundal height: rib cage - the baby's head...

"slowly" wrote in message ... Hope it's a lovely day for her :) -- Rob "Carpe Chocolate" Thank you so much! We had a wonderful day yesterday. We hung out at home in the morning, just relaxing. Then we had a party...

Being the original poster for the # of ultrasounds question, I thought I should give everyone an update. First off, the reason I was asking about u/s is because 2 weeks ago my OB thought Baby was breech and that we may need to plan for a c-section...I was concerned and thought that another u/s...

I was reading the thread about epidural or not....I am just getting used to being pregnant with my first and so I am still reading a lot and trying to educate myself on it. I never have particularly wanted an epidural...I had a spinal tap once and it was awful. Stay away from my back, ugh.....I...

I've googled the MKP archives on the subject of diaper bag contents, and this is the list I came up with: - 3 or 4 disposable diapers - travel pack of wipes - portable changing pad - 2 changes of clothes (I think by the time the baby is 4 months old 1 change of clothes will be enough) - ointment...

This is geared toward Mom's who have experienced both Natural childbirth and childbirth after having an epidural. I've recently taken a preparation for childbirth and I think that I'd like to try to go all natural without the pain medication from an epidural, simply because the epidural itself...

Hi Dagny, You're in about your 7th week of pregnancy, just like me (first day of my last period was July 30). Are you bleeding and you need to change a pad often? Is the blood red and clotted? Or is it spotting?

my wife has been battling severe nausea throughout this pregnancy. it's really depressing. she had to be hospitalized last week due to dehydration from constant vomiting. they gave her an anti-nausea drug called zofran which is working well at combating the nausea. unfortunately she still is...

I am doing everything I can to get my mind off PAs that I have had in the past. (Except for when I break down and talk to someone about them)....... Last night for no reason I started getting the familiar panic attack.....I had just gone to bed and actually had been lying there for 30 minutes or...

Well I had my first appt last Monday at the local hospital. We had an ultra sound done to find out the edd. When I went to the GP he had told me April 10, but that was based on a 28 day cycle and mine is hardly ever that long. I'm usually 25-26 days. The tech doing the scan told me April 4. So...

Hello, Everyone. I have been reading posts but been a little too busy to post myself. I sure enjoy reading what is going on with everyone. My pregnancy is going great and very uneventful. I still have slight morning sickness in the evening. I have gained 10 lbs, and the baby's heart rate was a...

Well I was supposed to go to my OB today but all of her appointments are cancled for awhile. She was in some kind of accident and broke her ankle and has to have surgery done. I was completely shooked! Once her office knows more they will call back to set up another appointment. In the...

So after I posted my BFN post I still had hopes of bring pregnant, after all I tested with a cheap brand only at only CD 29. I was certain that I as pregnant, other than the symptoms, well...you know...I just knew, I was sure.... I figured I would give it another week and test again. ...

I know I am driving my husband crazy. I am very tearful and SO uncomfortable...I am wailing "How am I everrrrr going to make it through 8 morrrrrrrre monthsssssss"...I just wonder if this is common to feel SO BAD, or is it more common in a first pregnancy, or what? I am only 6 weeks along...

This is embarassing but, I mentioned before that I am just a few weeks along with my first, we tried (it was not a surprise even though I was surprised it happened so quickly!) I have had an anxiety disorder before, where I would get full-blown, terrifying panic attacks. I am not a...

I need so Real Mommy Opinions! I have been tossing around the OB/GYN vs. MidWife topic and I just can't find enough pro's and con's to persuade me either way. I want to know...which is really preference and why? Is the MW qualified in everything that an OB/GYN is, including full delivery? I have...

Hi all, I am now 37 weeks! Yippee, I am so pleased to be nearly there. This is now new territory for me as I gave birth to my son at exactly 37 weeks ( I was induced at 36 weeks 5 days). I see the Doc again at 37 weeks 4 days, and if all is well hope I can be given another week before setting an...
