I just got the new edition of "A Child is Born," and it is amazing. We had the first (1970s?) edition in the house during my first pregnancy, but the new pictures are just incredible. I'm also enjoying the sentimental but lovely "Gift of Life," which I never got around to reading with...

My name is Carol, I live in Pennsylvania (USA), I am 9 weeks pregnant, and I'm turning 40 in 27 days. This will be our first child; we were pregnant in 2002, but it ended in a missed miscarriage. I've been anxious about whether this one would end the same way, but on Friday we had an ultrasound...

starbucks pls.

If the baby is a girl, we are probably going to name her our first choice: Isabella. We had this name picked out a very long time ago when I was pregnant with the twins but we didn't know the sexes yet. I've always liked the name because I think of Isabella Rossellini, whom I adore (I think she...

God I hope this isn't in a recent thread. Any opinions? Are they worth it? ~Carol Ann

So I am still worried about the baby shower thing. I thought the way to bring it up idly with family was to find one of them and ask them if they had baby showers with their babies. (Most of their babies are teenagers and I can't really recall personally...) So my sister logs onto AOL and I send...

I just had my 30 wk appt., with u/s to check on previously diagnosed marginal previa. Well, the good news is that the placenta has 'cleared' the cervix, so previa is no longer an issue. The bad news is that they discovered the baby is currently in breech position. I never had this with my ds,...

It's Wednesday, 12 DPO. We're all waiting! :) laurie mommy to Jessica, almost 3 years and Christopher, 9 months

Can someone direct me to a website that has a list of everything a new mother would need for a baby? Also a list of things to take to the hospital would be helpful also! Thank you! LeAnn 32 weeks

Hi, I'm expecting my first baby in May, and I want to buy a travel system stroller for him. I'm torn between a couple of Graco models (primarily the Sterling and Quattro models) and Eddie Bauer (the Glacier Euro Z and Manchester Euro models). Does anyone have any experience with either of these...

So, not much new information. He said that he would be reluctant to put me on any medication because he's not sure it would work. Also, he wants to see me for further testing after the pregnancy is over. Regarding the pregnancy, specifically VBAC vs. c-section, he says it depends on how much...

At 32 weeks, I'm noticing that my hips are beginning to ache. I imagine this is normal, but was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem. To date, the major symptoms I have had (not counting no TOM) a ~Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ~Acne on my chest and back ~Weight Gain (28 lbs so...

Hi- I am in my 10th week (first pregnancy) and have been vomiting now since week 6. My doctor prescribed phenergan, which slows it down so I don't need IV fluids and am at home, but doesn't stop it. I haven't been able to work or do much of anything but lie around and feel miserable. please tell...

Just curious! ~Carol Ann

I went for another ultrasound today, just to make sure that things were, in fact, OK. They are!! Yay! We actually got to see the heart beating (I can't believe the definition they can get with ultrasound equipment - I mean, I actually saw the little thing flapping away). It was measured at...

Thankfully, we appear to be having one healthy-looking baby (and not the five monkeys that I dreamed I was having). The little one was fairly quiet on the u/s but waved at us which was cute. Having said that, I swear that I've been feeling movement the last couple of mornings when I've woken...
