A friend of DH's and myself was on bedrest because she started having contractions and preterm labor at about 21 weeks- that rattled my nerves. I was so worried for her....poor thing went to the emergency room after her OB didn't think the pains were a problem and ended up having to stay...

Hi I am new here. Good luck to you all with your pregnancies, I just ended that journey. I am a mom to a 4 1/2 year old boy and my 6 week old daughter. I love message boards and talking to other moms from the serious stuff to just plain fun. I spend most of my free time at www.mommiescamelot.com...

I was wondering if anyone here was having or has had a waterbirth? i've heard positive things about it and wanted to know about any possible risks or downside. i'd love to hear any experience with this, positive or negative. Thanks!

I suffer from ocd which at the present time I am handling without meds. Now, I am 18+wks with my second child and have been experiencing a huge upswing in my ocd symptoms in the last three days. Has anyone else noticed any dramatic mood swings at this point in their pregnancies ocd or no? Up to...

I've officially started my maternity leave today! Technically it has to start on a Sunday. I'm also starting my 38th week today. I still have some work to do (grading papers and materials development), but I can easily do it here at home and then mail/e-mail it back. Although I enjoy my job,...

Hi all, I'm nearly 22 weeks pg and for the last week and a half little Harry has really been moving a lot, like he's taking karate lessons in my belly. Lots of kicks and somersaults. Today though he's been unusually quiet, and although I did feel occasional kicks throughout the day, it just...

Is this normal, crying spells, everything upsets me, etc....

Hi, I'm now in my 15th week and my mild (I was lucky) nausea disappeared about a week or two ago, but the mind-numbing exhaustion is still here - I thought that the exhaustion would disappear at the same time the nausea did, but it didn't - anyone know when the exhaustion will go away?

Well, it's five months now since YoungBloke arrived (2 weeks ahead of schedule) and changed our lives. I thought I'd let you know how he's doing and then head off out of mkp on account of shortness of time. He was born weighing 7lb 7oz (3.37kg) and had doubled his weight by the time he was 3...

This group hardly knows me, but I'm happy and I think most of the rest of the world might be tired of hearing about my pregnancy. Since you don't really know me you're under less pressure to say, "Uh, that's nice, but why are you telling me this." :) Well, I'm still very tired and unenergetic with...

When my DD was about 8 months old, I went to see my OB for annual Papsmear. We chatted for sometime. He asked me about birthcontrol. I told him I'm not trying to stop getting pg because I want my kids to be close in age. I told him I got my AF almost from 4 months pp but it's been very erratic. His...
