Hi, everyone. I have my first prenatal appointment on Tuesday. If you go by my LMP, I will be six weeks. If you go by when I am 90 % sure I ovulated, then I will be 7 weeks. The nurse I spoke to said that the doctor may do an ultrasound. The idea kind of freaks me out because I am afraid of what...

I spent Thurs-Sat in San Francisco again for the Doulas of North America conference (was there 3 wks ago for LLLI conf.)... it was the second chance I've had to show the MamaBaby to a group of people. While there, we came up with a new use for unpadded baby slings--think it would work for most...

Dear all, Need help on some other issue... two day ago, when I try to hang the laundry of DD, I found there were some black spots, moss, on some clothes. It is so scaried. So then I soak the contaminated clothes(which also have some black spot) into vinegar and put them into pre-wash cycle (with...

I'm in my 23rd week and for the last few weeks have felt the baby lightly thudding inside my belly after dinner whilst lounging in bed for a bit. Had a very succesful 20 week sonogram and everything was "perfect" according to the doctors. My placenta is low at the moment but we'll wait for the...

Hi all, I have been a frequent reader, not necessary poster to this group, but wanted to share my birth story, since I enjoyed reading other's a lot. I was due July 13 with my second baby, a girl. I went in for a NST on Friday, July 18. The NST showed that she didn't tolerate contractions...

Last week I was sitting with my Mum and my Love and we were talking about all of the special adaptations which might be useful for a pregnant woman to aid her getting around, and to make her a little safer in public. (I am only able to say this because I am quite enormously pregnant at the moment) ...

Hi everyone. I have been reading this news group for about 6 months now. DH and I have been TTC so I thought I would introduce myself and try to get familair with some people for support in case the good news comes anytime soon. We have been timing my cycle, but it is difficult because I have...

THE OTHER JERRY'S KIDS (Virginia Medical Board Member DR. JERRY WILLIS could save tiny lives and tiny limbs) See below... First this... "It is established obstetric teaching that a narrow pelvic outlet predisposes to a difficult vaginal delivery..." --Ass-Ärztin Dr. Andrea Froschauer-Frudinger...

I was worried earlier that I wouldn't gain enough weight. After the 3 months of nausea passed, then I had a period of "anoerexia", I just did NOT want to eat, never felt hungry. My weight gain has been PERFECT my midwife said, but I was still concerned the baby would be scrawny because I wasnt...

First things first... PREGNANT WOMEN: MDs are closing birth canals up to 30%! It's EASY to allow your birth canal to OPEN the "extra" up to 30%! NOTE: You don't have to squat to allow your birth canal to open maximally! Just roll onto your side as you push your baby out! BUT - see...

I know I'm not supposed to eat soft cheese whilst pregnant but is Feta cheese considered to be soft cheese?

My ultrasound yesterday evening went great! The baby was very active and she kept putting her hands in front of her face. I say she because the technician thinks she's a girl. He said he's not positive, but he didn't see anything dangling. She's about 3 days bigger than expected, which pushes...

Sabine, what a great story! I am so glad Rebekka knew to dive at the right moment :-) What a crazy time you had, but such a wonderful ending. --Helen

Hello all, I have been reading peoples posts when they have an antenatal appointment, and each one mentions weight gain. Now I have never been weighed in pregnancy, I have been warned by my midwife to look out for a sudden weight gain as an indicator of pre-ecalmpsia, but that's it. She hasn't...

I just had my fourth baby a little more than a month ago. The other three, youngest to oldest are 13 months old, two years old and three years and two months old. The oldest, Sarah, was potty trained about six months ago and had been doing really well until Rachel first came home. With Rachel...

Since we will (hopefully) find out the sex of our baby in a week, I thought it would be fun to get a hat with baby's name on it. I can find lots of snow-cap looking things, but no baby baseball caps. Anybody know of a web site where I could order a customized baby baseball cap?

wrote: Had my scan today. In theory, it should have been done at 37 weeks, and I'm well past that now, but the doctor reassured me that there's no such thing as too late. So she worked me in 'asap' and thank heavens, my scar measures 8-9mm thick consistently across its...

We're back home, finally! We'd returned home on the 16th, but didn't have an internet connection, then the monkey turned blue on me, and we were back to the hospital. She has reflux, and is now on two different medications. (Zantax and Donperidone.) Breastfeeding is going great, and she's gaining...
