I just had to share! I witnessed an incredible miracle this morning... the birth of my nephew! After 14 long years of trying and years of fertility treatments, my sister-in-law gave birth to an 8 lb. 11 oz. baby boy at 6am today. I had the pleasure and honour of being her coach/support...

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) How are all the almost-almost-theres? :) Knee-deep in childbirth classes? Waking up a zillion times at night, have to pee more often? Take some video of those alien-baby-earthquake kicks and tumbles, if you can catch them. Any belly hiccups? ...

Hello again I am 3 weeks postpartum - C-Section and I am running a low grade fever of about 100.4 +/- every evening. During the day I am fine but as soon as evening rolls in I have chills. I am breastfeeding is that why? Thank you

Quinn had his 6 month doctors visit today. He's now 20lbs- 4oz and 28.5 inches long. For his height, his weight is dead on (meaning he's not overweight or fat for his height) and he is in the 95% for his age group. He's roughly the size of the average 9 month old. BIG BOY! He got 5...

Hi Had a look at this group before but haven't posted, so hello to everyone. I have question for anyone trying for a baby and taking Methyldopa. I've known about my hypertension and taken drugs for 15 years, but the doctor put me on Methyldopa when I told her I wanted to start trying. My question...

Ok while I was trying to catch up on this news group Eva came over to me and she was so cute. First off she did the norm and took off all her clothes so she is but nekid. Well she came over to me with daddy's socks on her legs and arms. I ran to get the digital (I got for my b-day) and tried to...

Hubby and I went to a birthing class yesterday 11/6/04. Yes this is our second baby but the insurance pays for it this time around so we decided to take it. I was a little disappointed because we didn't spend much time on stretches, different positions, breathing...etc. I have taken this class...

I had high hopes when I went to bed last night because I had lost part of the mucus plug and more came away during the night. But so far, that's all, folks. So I guess it's another boring day of hanging around the house keeping my BP down for me. I was invited to a baby shower this afternoon for...

Hi what do people think of this http://www.kiddicare.com/invt/xdltuttub I am not convinced...

I have read many posts in this ng. Many deal with this issue and I know I am no differnt than anyone else trying to conceive. (frustration, sadness, etc), I just need some encouraging words. First, my husband and I have been trying to get pg for 7 months. I am 31 y/o and the 3 times I stopped...

I guess I need to go to bed early tonight since I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. So this will be the last y'all hear from me until I get back from having the baby! I will have to cease all fascinating discussion of teenage pregnancy, abortion, and the like--doesn't mean I'm giving up, I am...

Has anyone ever felt that? This is the second morning I can feel the umbilical cord of my baby, right by my rib, on the left side. The first time, I thought I'd imagined it in a semi-comatose sleep I didn't want to get out of... This morning, as I rolled on my back from right to left (holding my...

If everything continues as it is, we're expecting to be having a baby in about a month, at around 37 weeks. At this point, BP is still riding right around 90 diastolic most of the time, but we are seeing more numbers in the high 90's/low 100's-and if we get to the point where it is regularly up...

First it got my brother-in-law. Two days later, my parents. The next day, my husband and daughter, and I'm trying to figure out if the flip-floppy feeling in my tum is the baby or the onset. Symptoms include vomiting, diarhea (often simultaneous), body aches, exhaustion and low grade fever. My...

What a great time for me to be nesting. Last time, I never felt the urge (other than an irrational need to install the car seat on the day before E was born) but this time I've already purchased a new bouncer (hated the last one), a new diaper bin and a new monitor (E will get the new one and...
