Well, I had my appointment this morning with the genetic counselor and she went over the results of my AFP screening test with me. The numbers showed that according to the levels in my blood, I have double the chance of someone my age (39) having a Down's syndrome child. At this point I can't get...

We've been trying to wean our 10-mos. old boy off the pacifier by not putting him to bed with it. He's teething up a storm these days and has gotten into the habit of chewing on the nails on his index fingers: not the bottom of the fingernail at the fingertip, but the TOP of the nail near...

Hello all... I am already thinking about when the baby comes home. I already know that I want to spend most of the first few days with just me, DH, DD and the new baby. I also know that friends and family will be excited about the new baby, and they will want to come and see the baby. I am all...

Hello All... I am 25 years old and for the past year and 1/2 my husband and I have been (lightly) trying to conceive. It has been frustrating, however, because believe it or not, I only have my period about three times a year. I test for ovulation, and it's postitive, but for some reason for a...

Hello all... I know that I haven't announced this yet, but I am going to have a repeat c-section. I have an appointment with the hospital next week (I will be 36 weeks) to make the arrangements. I have been starting to gather the things I need to bring to the hospital. I won't be going into...

This is only sort of OT, since the reason I'm particularly excited about is that we will ttc next spring... The past few weeks, I've been having a terrible time with my asthma. I'd gone from rarely needing a puff on a rescue inhaler to using it almost every day, sometimes twice a day, even though...

Is it safe to take 50mg of vitamin B6, 3-4 times daily throughout an entire pregnancy? This doesn't eliminate nausea but it does help noticeably. I know it is safe to take as the OBs recommend it 3-4 times a day as needed for nausea..........but, is it safe not as-needed, but just continued 3-4...

Hello to everyone, Its been 4 months since Robbie was born, I cant beleive it! Hes been making great progress since we came home from Childrens Hospital. His development is about 6 weeks behind other 4 month olds, he only holds his head up when in an upright position, he doesnt try to lift his...

Hopefully this isn't too off-topic...my husband and I have a cat, and live in a 3 bedroom/2 full bath home. When my cat moved in we couldn't find a better location for her litter box because she scatters litter everywhere, so we currently don't use out spare bathroom which is tiny...we have...

I will *need* to go back to work around 4 months after the baby is born. (I will initially go back 4 days a week until my baby is about 12 months old, and my MIL has offered to look after the baby during the 4 days I'm at work). Although my MIL could provide basic and safe care (changing, feeding...

Evil baby thieves can appear out of nowhere , they will cut open your belly with a chainsaw and steal the baby and disappear ! This happens every day, somewhere and nobody can stop them ! So better wear a steel plate mail to protect your baby from evil baby thieves and better carry a sword, an...

Hmm, jag tror inte försäkringsbolagen betalar ut pengar om det finns ett sätt för dem att slippa undan. Näää tror du DET?!?! Ca 80% av alla USA medborgarena kör runt sverige utan gällande körkort. Do you usually take statistics out of your own ass??

This past weekend I began running a temp which averaged about 102.7 and hit as high as 103.8 a few times. I had terrible, violent shakes and chills. Called my OB as I suspected my tear might be infected. Knew it wasn't mastitis as my breasts were not painful. Doctor and I went through all the...

Okay, the update you all have been waiting for is here! First of all, Dr H told me today that I have had bronchitis (not "just a sore throat" that the ER doctor told me.) But I know, you're waiting on the BIG news. My Beta came back for Saturday, it was at 187. They drew more blood today (I'll...

I haven't slept for more than four hours in a night for the last week. Usually it's closer to two. Actually, I'm not sure why I'm saying 'a night' since I don't sleep at all at night; I fall down when utterly drained sometime midafternoon for a couple of hours. I don't know what to do about this....

Hmmmm, I was so sure AF was starting after a tiny bit of spotting on Tuesday (29 days since the D&C) ... guess I jumped the gun as there's been nothing since. The bleeding from the D&C had stopped 3 weeks previously so I'm sure its not still from that. I also showed all the typical fertility...

I'm 35 weeks into my pregnancy. Will I "know" when/if the baby's head is engaged? Will I feel anything in particular when this happens? Also if the baby's head is engaged - can it become un-engaged?

Only 13 more days to go (or, perhaps one more day, or perhaps 22 more days). My wife is extremely uncomfortable. What did some of you do to pass the time in the last few weeks?
