I think I had some of this early on last time, but definitely not this much, my problem is now I can't actually stand up for more than about 30 seconds, sitting upright about 5 minutes, I'm now semi lieing, but I don't think this will last much longer, I'll have to go and lie down soon. It has come...

(With many thanks to Mary S., original author!) How are you feeling, seven-monthers? Enjoying your beautiful belly? Any braxton hicks? Aches and pains, or are you carrying on with life as usual? Everything lined up for the birth, maternity leave, found a doula, taken a breastfeeding class,...

Well, after all the insurance fuss, (with the result that my BP was higher yesterday than it had been since Monday), my perinatologist felt that it was about as well to go ahead and let me rest at home-although if it goes up much at all, I'm back in again (and then, it's likely that BC/BS won't...

http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20041029.html I can *so* relate. Jenrose --who is going as a scary pregnant woman. Oh hell. Let's not kid each other. I'm not going anywhere. I probably won't even answer the door.

On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 13:35:29 +1300, "Cathy" scribbled: I was hoping to use a birthing pool at home (we can hire them), but I am seriously thinking that there is no way we will be able to get one in to the house. Has anyone laboured in the bath, and if so, what was it like?...

Hi, we decided we want to donate (not bank) our cord blood. Problem is that I've called a coupla local places and nobody's called back, and our OB, though he supports the idea of donating it, doesn't know who takes it as a donation. Does anyone know of anyone in the Houston area who wants and...

My BP went through the roof very suddenly Friday night-I was on the computer and got hit with a sudden headache, visual signs etc-took my BP at home at it was 134/113-so I called my practice and they told me to get in to L&D now so I could be monitored. The BP dropped over then next few hours, but...

Well, he's nearly 14 pounds (I forget exactly what), 63.5cm long (IIRC - obviously, I don't have the paper in front of me), and he was a very good boy about his first needle. :-) He gave out one big long cry while the needle was in, but after that, he laughed and needed no further consoling. ...

Well, the good news is that I may be going home sooner than expected. The bad news is the reason-while my OB has stated that he prefers to keep me on hospital monitoring, apparently Blue Cross/Blue Shield has decided I'm stable enough to go home, even with a history of things coming on rapidly and...

Anyone here from Lindee? I think she was to be induced as well..;-)) My Guess, Thur. ( 1:46 pm ) 8 pounds 2oz's)
