I went and had my scan today to check the size of my baby. He is right on track (yes he is definitely still a boy). He is locked and loaded and facing the right direction. I thought he might have had his head right down as I pee so often and I can breathe again!! The lady who did the...

Hi all, Just wondering if any of the BTDT moms had recommendations for baby carriers or slings... I've been planning to get a Baby Bjorn, but I've heard good (sturdy, safe) and bad (spine support for baby) things about it and so I'm not 100% sure it's the best choice...back support for me will be...

Thank you all for being absolutely no help whatsoever. I don't know what kind of husbands/birthing coaches you all had, but I can assure you that my entire focus, since day 1 of the pregnancy has been doing everything I can to keep my wife healthy, happy, and comfortable, which includes staying...

I am not normal ;) But, that's ok. :) :) :) lol, Jill

I haven't contributed much here but while pregnant I always loved the birth stories and found them very very useful so here's mine! My brain isn't working right due to tiredness so if I'm less than technical in some areas forgive me... the right words seem to be slipping away! On Monday 22nd...

It was a great appointment! I saw two doctors while I was up there, and I really liked both of them! They were very friendly, I could tell they knew what they were talking about, and they gave me honest answers and great advice. First off, they changed my medicine. I'm still taking...

Hi, I just turned 32 and have been happily married for 4.5 years! I am thinking more and more about starting to try to get pregnant but am still not sure if I am ready. Friends tell me that one day you just wake up and you know you are ready....this has almost happened but not quite. Things I am...

I had my 18 week ultrasound this morning. This update is really quite boring--there were no real issues :) The baby has 2 arms, 2 legs, head, chest, beating heart, kidneys, bladder, placenta, umbilical cord, etc. Unfortunately, the baby was faced the wrong way for the tech to get a good look at...

Grrr. This is awful. I swear, no matter what I vent about in posts, this problem I am having with panic attacks is NOT mental anxiety or mental fear or ...mental! I have had 2 full-blown panic attacks this week alone. It has been pretty devastating. ... I don't get panic attacks when I am stressed...

What a strange dream... I was carrying my baby-to-be around everywhere, in this blue winter suit I have been given (baby's due in November, and I expect there will be cold and snow by that time in Montreal). The baby was big, healthy, and smiling at me all the time. The strange part of it was,...

Hi y'all, just a brief intro. I've been lurking here since the ept came back positive on March 28, but we went to the dr this past friday, and since everything looks good I thought I'd say "Hi" to everyone. stats: first pregnancy, age 35, a bit of a surprise, not quite 8 weeks along, EDD Dec 2,...

I'm having trouble finding affordable and trendy clothing locally, there are no shops where i live that sell any maternity wear. I've had some catalogues but everything is so expensive and i am on a tight budget. Has anyone got any ideas?

Ok. I was pregnant about a year ago but the pregnancy was terminated. Six months later my boyfriend told me a yellowish milky substance came out my breasts when he stimulating them. Then today, 1 year after pregnancy was terminated, my noticed the yellowish milk came out again. What is the cause...

No, I haven't had a baby yet! I just got smart and changed my outgoing voice mail and turned off the phone! "No baby yet, we're resting and not taking any calls, we love you all, leave a message and we'll get back to you..." My stepmom is driving me crazy with this. She has never had any kids of...

I've read mixed reviews and am a little confused over what's better- a warm air vaporizer, or a cool mist humidifier. I had always thought cool mist was better, but recently read warm. I suppose it depends on the intended use- but for basic moisture and for illnesses, which is the way to go? And,...

hello! I am new here (obviously) but I really need to hear your opinion! I am now 9 days late, and have been using hpt's like crazy (Walgreen's down the street unlocks the hpt cabinet as soon as my car door shuts!) I have tried the expensive ones, the cheap ones and everything in between and all of...
