My wife had a glucose intolernace test a few weeks ago and the result came back negative. However, because the baby is looking large for dates, the doctor has sent her for another one (the same 2 hr test). Just wondering - how accurate is the test in the first instance ? Is there a possibility...

I'd like to canvas opinions, especially from people who have very unusual names or have given their children very unusual names, as a way of helping DH and me to clarify whether we want to give our child such a name... Background: IRL, I have a very unusual name myself. That is, about 50% of the...

WILL IT NEVER END?? Actually, I am NOT ready. I still have SO much work to do around here that I can wait another 5 weeks for the baby. On the one hand, I have all sorts of things scheduled, but then I wake up at 7 am and by 10 am I am ready to take a 3 hour nap. I wake up from that with hip pain,...

....I already have a baby! Lann Carlyle was born at 6:15 a.m. on September 21st weighing 8lbs4oz (so much for the doctor's estimate of 6.5-7, eh?!) and 21 inches long. I don't have much time to write (this boy is quite a little nursing machine), but I couldn't let another moment pass without...

I just got home from my midwife appointment, and I'm two centimeters dilated! Yippee! My cervix has also become much softer and shorter, though it's still quite thick - apparently I didn't lose all of the plug last Saturday. Anyway, BP was 117/60 and urine was fine. My feet and ankles have...

Well, I guess no news is good news, lol ;-) Blood pressure = 120/60 Urine = leucocytes were positive on the urinanalysis stick, so I had the full urine analysis done - everything fine; ob/gyn said it is common for leucocytes to show up slightly above the normal level at the end of the pregnancy so...

My boyfriend ****ed me into my asshole for weeks and now I´m pregnant ! Isn´t this great ???

Does anyone know what the numbers for normal should be for the one hour glucose test? I am having my test tomorrow morning and want to knwo since they never would tell me with my last pregnancy...I failed both tests 1 and 3 hour last pregnancy but my sugar numbers were always well within the range...

Sounds like ppd to me and another medication will probably make all the difference. I had depression for years (not pg related however) and I tried about 6 different meds before I found one that did the trick for me. You might also try to get a referrral to a psychiatrist who specializes in...

I'm looking for another newsgroup now that I've had my baby. (Baby will be 5 weeks old on Sunday.) Where do we go now?? Kelly

Okay, I've just got to ask: what's the big deal about "natural childbirth?" I really don't understand why completely doing without pain medication is such a beautiful, wonderful, spiritual, *superior* experience or why other women look at me like I've just killed their pet when I answer that I do,...
