I started having contractions at 36 weeks. They continued for two weeks, getting increasingly uncomfortable, and even prompted a "practice run" to the birth center during week 37. At 38 weeks, my doula advised crawling around to help the baby turn into a better position and hopefully get the...

I had an ultrasound along with my 33-week appointment on Monday. At 22 weeks I'd been diagnosed with marginal placenta previa, and unfortunately the midwife who told me the news had been quite scary when explaining the problem and also left out how common it is at that stage, and how often it goes...

Meghan - she had a son Killian, wanted a VBAC but had another c-section with her daughter? Amanda (I think her screen name was A Green). I think she had an Elijah then a girl (or maybe another boy - I remember threads about more E names)? Jess - she had Julianne, was very young? Just curious...

Hiya, I was wondering when is it safe to take a few hour trips with a new born? My wife is due in Nov and were thinking about dribing down to Central CA. We are in Central WA. Its about a 18 hr non stop drive down. Do you think that it is wise or we should wait a while longer? Thanks for...

*Probably pregnancy loss is mentioned in this post* I just found out some sad news through a friend; a mutual friend of ours is 18 weeks pregnant, and just went in for her ultrasounds. They discovered that she is pregnant with conjoined twins, and that they are sharing one set of internal organs....

Hi all! Yesterday was my ob appt. Had a ultrasound and both babies look wonderful! They are estimating each to be 4 1/2 lbs. growing atthe same rate. My results of Saturdays 3 hour blood sugar were normal, my blood pressure100/50. I stopped gaining weight the last 3 visits as I just can't eat much...

Well, the thread seems to have died, so everyone who wanted to weigh in must have done. Here are the results: 35 labors/births before 41w1d 27 labors/births on/after 41w1d The 35 births before 41w1d includes one set of twins, 7 inductions before EDD, and 1 c-section for pre-eclampsia. If those...

If thats the way he's going to be, then you are better off with out him! Doctors should expect to get all kinds of questions, and you deserve a straight answer for your questions or conserns. I mean come on, you're paying him to treat you and the baby! Sounds like he's just lazy when it comes to...

This is common and happened to us. Go to our website http://home.comcast.net/~l.mcmahan and read the link entitled "PIH in the last 3 weeks". This is an account of how we dealt with the saem problem Also read the first page or so of "Clara's Birth Story." It contains more detail about how we dealt...

Well I was just wanting to keep everyone up to date. I went to the lab and had my blood work done today. I guess I'll have to call my doctor in a few days to get the results. Even though my home test was positive, I'm still nervous about how this test will come out. Wow! They took 7 vials of...

How long after symptoms disappear does spotting or bleeding begin? The ONLY symptom I have is soreness in my breasts and that seems to be waning. My girlfriend said that her baby stopped growing at 8 weeks but she didn't spot until her 11th week. That just doesn't sound logical to me. At...

I used to hang around here despite not being pregnant, because I liked the subject. I dropped it after TTC became too difficult and it was starting to depress me. Now, after being told I would never be able to conceive naturally, I went and did less than two weeks later, so I'm back, pregnant...

I do not jog but I walk a lot and I live on a dirt road and mostly walk on dirt roads so this time around I want a jogging stroller. Is there a jogging stroller that will fit into a smaller car trunk? I have a Toyota Tercel. I also have an Aerostar Van but I hate driving that gas guzzler. Graco...

We bought a booster seat for my 58 pount 4 yr. old son yesterday and im just terrified of it! The other car seat was in the rear center and this one is on the side. Nothing attaches the seat to the car and the shoulder belt goes through it on the side and then around Matt. The shoulder belt...

Ok, so I already have a double stroller. Truth be told, I have 2. I really don't like either of them, and am trying to decide if it's worth it to go for a nice new one with the bells and whistles or just to stop being such a damn princess and stick with the two I've got. ;) Brief summary is that...
