Name suggestions please by
A&G&K
OK ... I'm after any and all suggestions.
It feels like pulling teeth to have to ask others for suggestions, but I
figure that asking you guys is probably the best bet for a lot of input
without any great expectations that we will use your suggestion (unlike my
MIL who has been pushing for a name...

good 29 week appt by

Everything was great at yesterday's appointment with my Ob ... BP 115/70, I
passed my 1 hour glucose screen with flying colours, my antibodies levels
were fine (I'm Rh-ve), and the only thing that was a little out of whack was
my haemoglobin ... so I've got to remember to take my vitamin tablet...

update to car accident by

I ended up calling the midwives at the hospital hoping they would just say
"just see the Ob on Thursday unless there is any trouble" ... but they asked
me to come in.
They put the heartbeat / contraction monitor on and all seemed OK with no
major deviations on the chart (no contrax and HB between...

My 33 week appointment was fine - BP 125/75, weight gain normal, baby

In the last couple of weeks I can be completely fine and then suddenly get
*really* tired and need to sit down ... and I'm needing to nap for at least
an hour every arvo as well. Just walking up a flight of stairs...

37 week appt by

Basically a good visit with the Ob, although he agrees that the baby has
definitely dropped and the head is engaged. He said that this is usually a
fairly clear pre-labour sign in multipar. mothers, although there are always
exceptions to every rule and I might go another 5 weeks.
He also had a...

What do you reckon??? (m/c mentioned) by
A&G&K
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...

Ultrasound by

Nuchal translucency test by

I had a blood test / u/s for Down's Syndrome this week. Its quite a relief
to know that the chances of having a DS baby are slim for this pg.
Apparently the risk for my age group at 12 weeks is 1:331, but the combined
age, blood test and NT scan have now put the odds at 1:3300. Hopefully ,

Poll: 2nd + pg ... how long between engagement and labour onset? by
A&G&K
Just curious to see how long it took others to go into labour after the
baby's head engaged in second (or subsequent) pregnancies.
DD's head engaged at around 30 weeks but I was induced at 38 weeks (PIH) and
there was no signs of her coming earlier. I'm told (and have read) that
this is not...
