I don't know why, but I've been waking up at 3 and 4 am for the past two days. Last nite, I thought I was going to die from a horrible tummy ache!! Today, I have a hemorrhoid! OUCH!!! Amazing how my body is changing so quickly over the past week or so. Geez, at this point I don't know what is...

I went to the OB for my 40 week checkup this morning...same story with my blood pressure being high when I arrive and then going back down after lying on my side for 10 minutes. Laszlo's been getting up at ungodly hours for the last 2 nights, and I'm truly exhausted. I don't know how I will have...

Not really that OT... I went to our new house this morning with Laszlo because the homeowners are selling some of their furniture and I wanted to check it out and see if we want anything. Turns out we'll probably take it all, since they have awesome taste. They are pretty earthy people and...

I'm unfamiliar with this acronym. I know it has to do with your other half, spouse, etc.

As if I need one more thing to worry about. Someone at DH's work, someone he is a supervisor of, was hospitalized and the comapny encourages (well, really, requires if at all possible) managers to go to the hospital in cases like this as a courtesy to employees etc, to show concern etc and make...

Hi everyone, I thought I should just drop a line with an update, since posting here has been so helpful for me. We went to the funeral home today to do the paperwork for the fetal death certificate. I did okay, but then had to start crying when I had to sign a piece of paper and fill out the...

I recently wrote to ATTORNEY ANTHONY MANCINI: I don't think OB/GYNs *want* to ignore the medical literature (and simple biomechanics) and close birth canals up to 30%. I think OB/GYNs HAVE to close birth canals because it's such obvious criminal negligence that stopping it will be tantamount to...

ATTORNEY ANTHONY MANCINI: Please see the last paragraph of the postscript to this reply to Anna Lapsley... This post will be instantly archived for global access at: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/chiro-list/message/2361 Anna, Your OB - the CULTURAL AUTHORITY who had you birth on your...

I had a Level II Ultrasound to check the babies' anatomy yesterday, and so far things look great! They couldn't get all the measurements they needed so I will go for another one on March 30, I'll be just over 20 weeks then. So far, the babies look good. They have all their limbs, their brains...

Alright, tell me what you know. ;-) I've had another bleeding episode (really light spotting with only a hint of pink one day, but brown all other times), and some rather disgusting mucous discharge. Went to dr and he thinks it is a yeast infection. He said that yeast infections can cause this...

Hi; So, I was reading on the matter of child birth classes & to tell yu the truth, I wasn't comfortable with any of the different types of schools of thought/teachings. I am a sissy! There I came out with it. :)) I will get an epidural shot (or whatever it is called). I will take as much...

Hi folks, Just musing... I'm pretty sure that my OB didn't take leap year into account when calculating my EDD for Scheherazade. Not releavant in my case, anymore, but I wonder if this is common? Those little wheel thingies probably don't have a leap year setting, so I bet it is. In that case,...

I just returned from a conference, and have to leave for another this sunday, but I had to catch up on what's been happening to you. You've been on my mind, and I was relieved to hear that you had a good birth experience. I cannot possibly imagine what it must feel like to hold such a tiny baby,...

I had my 34 week appt. yesterday, again with the nurse. I have met the O/B at this practice just once. I've tried to get upset about this, but I am beginning to see that this just seems to be the way it is here where I live. Our local medical facilities are not adequate for the rapidly...

My Dh and I were discussing this. I am not talking about how your dr gives you a due date, and you could go into labor before or after it......I am wondering what the chances are of an EDD being way off due to inaccurate dating of the pregnancy etc. I know ultrasound is unreliable as to the size of...

Halfway there! How's everyone doing? Making the switch into "wow, I really look pregnant now" or have you been there for a while? Kicks and tumbles? Dealing with the glucose test, a possible amnio, results from the triple screen, ultrasounds? Happy with your birth plans, your care providers,...

There's a strong possibility that my baby (edd sept) will have to fly with me to Asia when I'm still on Maternity leave. I read on this ng before that some of the ladies took their babies at 2months. So is two months the earliest the baby can fly long distance? Are there any other contingencies...

Hi, Nice to meet you all. I am Tori I am 25, I am married to Jeff and he is a good husband and I love him a lot. We have a 23 month old daughter named Bonnie she is the love of my life, sorry Jeff. Jeff and I met 3 years ago February and we just knew we had to get Married so that May we tied the...

My hubby and I are kind of in a dispute over using a bassinette. I want to start putting the baby in her crib in her own room from day 1. Hubby is suggesting we try to use a bassinette in our room. Problem is we don't sleep in the same room because his snoring wakes me up every time. I'm up on...
