Hi im Danni! I'm due in November, and I've just been put on bedrest for 8 weeks. Any tips to keep me occupied for the next few weeks? A friend has set up this group for me as she used to hang out here when she was pregnant (anyone here remember slowly?). Please excuse any mistakes as I've...

Hello, my name is Jessica i am 24 years old and i became pregnant for my first time on June 5th 2006. I caught my pregnancy very early becasue my periods are like clock work so i new right around 4 weeks that i was pg. At 7 and half weeks i went in for my first u/s to find that i had a blighted...

I just found out I am 21 weeks pregnant with a boy! I am wondering if I should get him circumcised or not?? I am leaning toward not, because his father is not. Any good arguments either way?

Thought I'd send a friendly FYI to those who are considering cord blood banking. One of the private banks has a new program which will allow you to save the cord blood at no cost. Here's the URL: http://www.cordblood.com/newborn/welcome.asp?id=000667 Welcome to the CBR® Newborn Possibilities...

Had a consult with the anaesthetist (anesthesiologist for those in the US) to see whether, should I request one, an epidural would be available to me. The short answer was "not really". The long answer is a little bit more involved. I have a spinal prolapse affecting a bunch of the vertebral...

Hi all I've not read or posted much lately, tbh I can't really face spending ages downloading the odd threads that are going on from the contraversial cross-posts. My posts are also arriving in a funny order, so I think I might not be getting all the proper posts. Anyway, I hope you guys are...

Thank goodness! I was in the bath lying on my stomach and trying to practice relaxation techniques for the big day, and felt some wiggling going on (though nothing unusual for this one.) Then when I got out, I noticed my belly had moved decidedly down, and the baby-pressure is now wayyyy down low...

My daughter takes her last pill this evening and I am curious about when others have had labor start after their last Brethane pill. (Or other meds that stopped contractions) I do realize she could be different than others, as she already has done alot backwards! lol Just curious though. ...

Hm? In your average, uneventful pregnancy, do bones get I dunno... More brittle? Weaker? Something like that? Today I had an extra baby to deal with. My girl friend dropped her baby off first thing in the morning before she went to work (was her second day back at work after her mat leave)...

Good Morning Everyone!!! I have great news! I had another blood test yesterday, and the doctor called saying that my HCG level had doubled. She thinks that either I am earlier than we thought, or I just need the extra progesterone to help support the pregnancy! She did say if I had anymore...

Hi there, I just joined this group. I have 4 children, the youngest is my 9 week old diaper. I saw that some people had been discussing cloth diapers. I used cloth on my oldest, and now use them on my baby. They are wonderfull, and since I already do laundry, i figure, why not diapers too? Anyways,...

Ever since I stopped taking birth control pills two years ago, my cycles have been getting shorter and shorter. First it was 23 days, now it is every two week. What could be causing this? I am going to the doctor next week, but I wanted to get some information before hand.

I GOT MARRIED ON SATURDAY!!! It was a beautiful day and I am the luckiest girl in the world. Married life is wonderful and I am looking forward to the day we have a new little one to complete our already wonderful family. Sorry for being so soppy...I am just sooooooo happy and wanted to...

I was briefly at an event in the "textile world" this weekend (yes, I do wear a disguise when in the land of the textiles, so as not to be recognized as a naturist) when what did I spy but a young woman with a newborn. During the event (a dinner) the baby began crying. The young mom...

I just had a laparoscopy yesterday and my incision today on my belly button is sore, and is still slightly bleeding red. Is this normal? the other thing is, I am more sore on one side than the other (I had a tubal ligation done). Is this also normal? and one more q, how long will the vaginal...
