I am doing everything I can to get my mind off PAs that I have had in the past. (Except for when I break down and talk to someone about them)....... Last night for no reason I started getting the familiar panic attack.....I had just gone to bed and actually had been lying there for 30 minutes or...

my wife has been battling severe nausea throughout this pregnancy. it's really depressing. she had to be hospitalized last week due to dehydration from constant vomiting. they gave her an anti-nausea drug called zofran which is working well at combating the nausea. unfortunately she still is...

Hi Dagny, You're in about your 7th week of pregnancy, just like me (first day of my last period was July 30). Are you bleeding and you need to change a pad often? Is the blood red and clotted? Or is it spotting?

This is geared toward Mom's who have experienced both Natural childbirth and childbirth after having an epidural. I've recently taken a preparation for childbirth and I think that I'd like to try to go all natural without the pain medication from an epidural, simply because the epidural itself...

I've googled the MKP archives on the subject of diaper bag contents, and this is the list I came up with: - 3 or 4 disposable diapers - travel pack of wipes - portable changing pad - 2 changes of clothes (I think by the time the baby is 4 months old 1 change of clothes will be enough) - ointment...

I was reading the thread about epidural or not....I am just getting used to being pregnant with my first and so I am still reading a lot and trying to educate myself on it. I never have particularly wanted an epidural...I had a spinal tap once and it was awful. Stay away from my back, ugh.....I...

Being the original poster for the # of ultrasounds question, I thought I should give everyone an update. First off, the reason I was asking about u/s is because 2 weeks ago my OB thought Baby was breech and that we may need to plan for a c-section...I was concerned and thought that another u/s...

Short version: everything's fine, and it seems there is no chance I'll go into labour any time soon! Long version: - urine: sterile - blood pressu 110/80 - weight: 0 lbs gained in the last 2 weeks (total weight gain: 30 lbs) - swelling: light - feet - fundal height: rib cage - the baby's head...

I was wondering if any of you had to have a D&C after a miscarriage? I'm not sure if I will have to have one cuz my ob said some times its not nessasary. I was curious as to how long it takes and if you feel any pain? They knock you out right? Julie

Well, after all my griping, this am when I took my shower I noticed that the baby seemed to haev moved. Sure enough, the midwife confirmed that the critter had indeed gone head down. She probably heard me bthcing and moaning all night last night, plus I did kind of beg her, "TURN TURN TURN,...

Well, it looks like I have finally miscarried. It took 5 weeks since the pregnancy stopped progressing, but it's soon to be over. I had cramping and lower back pain all day yesterday then last night passed what I can only imagine to be all the tissue. It was a little shocking and much more than...

I'm a pig! I cannot stop eating!!! On top of eating too much, I'm eating crap. Pizza, angel food cake, Doritos chips... What's happening? I went from 158 to 160 in a week. I hate this!! I am trying to walk 1.5 miles daily. I am just shocked that I am going back to eating badly again.

I also chose not to have a amnio, for the same reasons you did plus a few others. I have a family member who did have one 13 years ago. She ws advanced maternal age and at the time they pretty much did this routinely with older mothers. Unfortunatly her sac didnt close and she leaked amniotic fluid...

Well I can't believe we've made it this far 25.5 wks! Since our last update many interesting things have occurred. First about 1 month ago my 7 month old nephew came down with the chickenpox. And wouldn't you know it I've never had them. Thank God the wife has. I got a shot right after I was...
