Well I'm knee deep in boxes getting ready to move to BC at the end of the month and still haven't found a doctor there. I will be due for my first bi-weekly visit the first week I'm there too! How does one go about finding a doctor to do prenatal care and the delivery? I've checked with DH...

I just heard a report this morning about a study just published in JAMA that hyperthyroidism can be just as bad for a fetus as hypothyroidism. Apparently it is common for doctors to recommend that women who are taking medication for hypothyroidism to increase their dosage during pregnancy. The...

After first diagnosis of TSH of 13 back in March, my third follow-up 2 weeks ago shows a TSH of 2.00 flat (2nd followup 10 weeks ago was 4.1)... and now I'm eight weeks pg! Question - how often should you be checked for thyroid during pg? Should it be at every monthly checkup, or more often? And...

Finally I got the positive line on cd27! Today (cd31) the blood test confirmed the pregnancy. EDD is around end Apr. Background: I wasnt ovulating regularly and hence my periods very completely irregular. I went on Clomid for 5 days for cd5 to cd10 this cycle. Thats it. Thanks a lot for all of you...

Hi I am really concerned that my 2 month old will simply not take a bottle. He struggles for ages and gets so frustrated, is like he just cant latch on or something. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Di

so cute. thanx for sharing. Kay Mommy to Eva 9/2002 one on way 1/2005 wrote in message ...

I'm just suffering from end-of-pregnancy symptoms! I have been getting these weird highs and lows (during the high phase, I feel fine, but during the low phase, I feel like total crap). The mood has been overall pretty bad, though. I'm constantly in the mood to bite people's heads off (sorry if...

A friend who is due 10 days after me went in for her 'routine' 20 week scan yesterday, and came back with this diagnosis. Oh boy - basically no kidneys or bladder can be seen, and the chances of survival for the baby are nil. She seemed so strong on the phone this morning - I had to hang up while...

I just got home from my 39 wk appt. I'm kind of discouraged though. First off, my bp and the baby are doing great... that's the most important! But, last week I was 2 cm dilated & 90% effaced. Now she says I'm barely 1 cm dilated! How does that happen!? I've had TONS of contractions,...

How are you feeling this month, three-monthers? You're almost out of the first trimester (depending on how you count) -- still feeling sick or tired, or are you starting to pick up? Do you look pregnant? Heard the heartbeat yet, or still searching for a care provider who fits your needs? Is it...

Still here and waiting ... which seems strange to me as I was geared up for action when the head engaged a couple of weeks ago ... but it popped back up and while it is low in the pelvis, its not actually engaged again yet. BP was fine (125/70) and weight keeps bouncing up and down by a kg or...

i suffer from severe migrianes and luckily they went away during pregnancy but now they are back. i nurse my two month old and they only thing that touches the headaches is excedrin migraine but i have to take 4 at a time. that's 1000mg of asprin and 1000 mg of tylenol and around 200 plus mg...

Today Morgan had her 4 month checkup (she's actually 4 1/2 months old). She weighed in at 16 lbs 11 oz. She has more than doubled her weight since birth. She is also 2' 2.5" (26 inches) tall which puts her in the 96th percentile. Yeooowwza!! She's taller than 96% of all girls her age. She...

I think I mentioned elsewhere the decision has been made in favour of the progesterone supplements over Clomid. It was made for me, as the biopsy came back normal, so Clomid wouldn't do much for me. The nurse told me to ask for progesterone suppositories, and if they weren't available,...

It's weird to walk into a store and the woman who comes up to help you out is just as preggo as you are. ;-) She's due within a week of me. We joked that we would see each other in the hospital. It must have looked really comical to see us, though. Another worker in the store stood off to the...

Chloe is getting Baptized on Aug 22nd,,,, are we supposed to have a dinner or get together after? Or is that just totally up to us? Also, should we be thinking about God parents?...I'm not Catholic, is this a Catholic tradition? do god parents Legally take the baby and raise the child if both...

How do these ppl get right back into their cloths after having a baby...Grrrrrrrrr.... Right after I had Chloe, I dropped MOST of my weight....with-in 3 weeks))) But now I'm holding a steady 135 pounds...my normal weight is around 120-125 sometimes even lower....and this weight is making...

I had my 18 week appt today. Everything looks great, and my OB's one addition is to try to spend several hours a day sitting with my feet up or lying down, just relaxing (since we're going into what we know to be a high risk time for me-as he says, the one thing we don't want me to do is to psych...

Hello everyone, I don't post very often here but I would appreciate any info. you could give me. A little history on myself, my first was breech and was successfully turned by external version at 38 wks. I had her at 41 weeks at 8 lbs. 1 1.5 oz. My second was breech all the way until the end...

For the past week I have been waking up with a pounding headache and feeling slightly nauseated. If I take two Tylenol it goes away but sometimes comes back in the afternoon. I also feel like my heart is pounding while doing routine household chores. Is this due to increased blood volume? It's very...
