I would like to introduce us to you guys. I am in my 6th week. I like reading your postings, which I've been doing ever since I knew, which is about 2 weeks ago. -- Vidya mom to Vandu(4) EDD May 6th '04

Actor/rapper/model Mark Wahlberg and Revlon model Rhea Durham had a baby girl, Ella Rae, on Tuesday. No other details available yet.

As I explained in another thread, I have miscarried again :( Since it is much earlier this time (last time was around 12 weeks, D&C was strongly rec'd by my midwife) I have been given options for dealing with it. Miscarrying naturally, D&C, or Misoprostol (cyotec). I initially thought i would...

We have a little Honda Civic and it's going to be time (well, after February!) to add a larger car. How many people have minivans versus a SUV or miniSUV like the Honda CR-V? I have this aversion to minivans, I admit it, so in part I'm asking if anyone went with a SUV or miniSUV as the family car...

I took part in some research recently for a study that's been done on developing a scale for testing for PPD in New Zealand womyn. You didn't have to be depressed to take part, in fact they preferred you weren't, but had to have a baby between 2 weeks and 12 weeks. So the researcher came to my...

It looks like my water's broken...this morning I had a couple of unmistakeable but small leaks that turned into a steady trickle for a while, and now has mostly stopped. Now I seem to have all sorts of...erm...stuff coming out of me. I've only just started having actual contractions, but they're...

We are trying to concieve our first child. We missed the August cycle and are trying for the Sept cycle. My problem is I am not regular and have not had period since June 15th. I had 1 depo shot in March and did not get my second one because we decided we wanted to start with kids. I wish I...

Hi Linda, if I remember correctly, your due date was yesterday (7th) but 9th by the doctors, so I just wanted to wish you easy and speedy labour. Maybe you are already holding your little one :-) Hi Lissie - as your EDD is today - any news? Wishing you all the best, Elly 36 weeks today!

Well, today I had one of those boring appointments again. I did get to to inform my caregiver that my body is finally telling me to slow down a little, but I'm still getting around just fine and feeling swell in general. Blood pressure was 124/72 and weight gain seems to have stopped - I hadn't...

Okay, so most of this pertains to yesterday, when I was 31+6, but it's as near-as-damnit! Antenatal appointment with the local community midwife, at my GP's surgery. Urine dipped and was completely fine. BP 111/76 - nothing to complain about there at all. Ann had a good feel of my belly and...

Hello all... I am almost 22 weeks pregnant. I have been able to feel the baby move on and off since about 11 weeks. These days, I feel him more about 1-2 times a day... sometimes more. I know at some point you should be feeling your baby move something like 7-10 times an hour, but I can't...

Another Sept Mom checking in....I have hopefully had my last appt for this pregnancy! 2 more days until my due date, which I know does not mean much, but considering Sophie came a little early I am hoping I don't have to go too late with this one. BP is fine as usual and I have lost one pound...

my wife is in her 14th week. she has had little bit of spotting when she was in her 5th week but it turned out to be nothing. then, in the last couple of days, she started having bleeding again as well as passing blood clot. her doctor has examined her and the baby has good heart beat and...

Hi everyone! We're OK. We're still trying to pick out a name. No complications or warning signs; high but not excessive weight gain (35 pounds at 34w4d). Basically just hanging on without too much trouble, somewhat addle-brained, somewhat sleep-deprived, somewhat uncomfortable, and hoping...

What state does she live in? My state has an insurance program for pregnant women who meet certain income criteria. It's much more generous than the income criteria for non-pregnant women. "1qa2ws" thought everything was going well until Fri, 5 Sep 2003 14:27:19 -0500, ...
