Diaper bag - check by
Kat
Well, I have it, for the most part, mostly packed and ready to go to the
hospital. I bought myself a brand new diaper bag this evening and I really
like it. It's a little "set" with a big diaper bag, a small hand one and
also has some changing package thing... Whatever, I'm not going to try...

Evening Primrose Oil? by
Kat
I've kind of been looking around a little and I've come up with a few hits
that this evening primrose oil might be something that can start labor. I
can't really find much info on it, though. One site said something about it
can help to "naturally ripen the cervix" and also recall reading...

A possible TMI question by
Kat
In case this shows up as "Norm" again, it's not supposed to be lol I think
I might have changed it to say "Kat" again, but since my computer is NOT
working for some reason with newsgroups, this one seems to work just fine...
Odd as they're on a hub together, with the same connection and the...

Evening Primrose Oil Use? by
Kat
So, I'm now at around 38.5 weeks. I picked up a bottle of this evening
primrose oil. The bottle says they're "softgels" and are 500mg. After
reading the bottle, it says nothing about use, other than for adults to take
4-6 softgels daily.
I haven't opened the bottle yet. I just wanted to make...

So... an update again... by
Kat
All I see down for starting posting is me, but here I go again LOL - then
again, this really isn't counting the spam that manages to sneak by ;)
I had an appointment again today. All seems fine. I was 1cm a couple weeks
ago. Last week she told me 2. This time I noticed my papers said 2-3cms....

Stop saying hateful things about the octuplets mom!!! by
amomee2
You people are so full of hate you should get your heads checked. The
octuplets mom has the right to have as many children as she wants without
you hate mongers getting all up in her womb. It's her body and she has the
right to do with it whatever the hell she wants. You don't control her...

Ok, it's 3:06am here by my clock... I went to bed tonight maybe 12:30am or

I was sitting on the computer a little too long talking with a friend before
I got around to finishing the dishes up and going to bed, but I was feeling
that slight cramping most of the later evening. Nothing...

Woo by
Kat
Well, after that last time I posted that little update, things seemed to
have gone alright.
It was 3am I was up and out of bed. I was home and sitting around until
about 4, and by that time, I had called the health line, called my mom,
doula and a friend... It was maybe around 430am that I was...

poll on babies after having high-needs baby by
MarieD[_2_]
If you had a high-needs baby, and went on to have more children, were any of
them high-needs also? I had two who weren't high-needs, then my third was
high-needs. I think that scares me most about having another baby. I'm not
pregnant but I am thinking about it, but I'm just really scared. My...

new baby wednesday by
MarieD[_2_]
My neice is being induced Tues night/Wed morning and I and my MIL are the
chosen ones to attend the birth. I am so excited!! My dream is to be a birth
doula and I need to read up on this stuff before then. She doesn't do
epidurals so this will be the first natural birth I've seen IRL. In fact,...

Hi all
Just wondered if anyone's ever called Cry-sis? I'm thinking about it, but
not all together sure I can face it. Just wondered if anyone's called them
and how helpful they were?

Mummy vibes and sleep needed! by
lu-lu
Hi all
I am so so tired. I thought I'd been tired over the last few weeks, but now
I'm exhausted. Kieran just seems to be sleep phobic, and I need advice!
Jessica was a perfect baby to get to sleep, and I think this is partly my
fault for not getting him straight into a routine. Well, kind of. He...

Grunty baby? by
lu-lu
Hi all
I was going to post this in mkb, but there doesn't seem to be many posters,
and I wondered if it could be related to Kieran's fussiness...
He had his first cold at about 2 weeks old, and he seemed to lose the baby
reflex thing of being able to feed and breathe at the same time....

my latest experience with birth by
MarieD[_2_]
Today my neice had her second baby. It was a hospital birth. Every single
nurse who came in either asked if she wanted an epidural or tried to
convince her to have one, and when she turned it down they made a snotty
face and stupid jokes like, "If I had a nickel for every mom who said she...

Ooh by

Well, I love my baby wrap, I wear it everywhere, apart from days like today,
when I get the wrong train, and end up in the wrong town! (Yes, I did also
get new glasses today!). So, I was miles from home, with my huge horrid
double buggy (pushchair/stroller/whatever you choose to call it :) ), and...

Anything yet?? IIRC, you're just about a week over due, and now it's my
turn to sit and wonder!
Noticed you haven't posted for a couple days so just wondering if you're
still hanging in there or if you're busy with a new little one!
Yes, just like you, I hate to bug and ask, but really... Need...

where I'm at by
Anne Rogers
Seems like I'm the only person still pregnant! It's been great to see
Lu-Lu back and hear about the arrival of Kieran. I think it's strange
that in such a small group, we have two mums with narcolespy!
I'm now 30+3, things are a mixture of good and bad with me, good is that
my symphysis pubis...
