I had my 34 week appointment today. Nothing exciting to report (those are the best kind at this stage though!). I'd only gained 1 pound since my appointment 2 weeks ago which puts me at 26 total since my 1st appointment. My BP was 110/70 (pretty normal for me) and the baby's heartrate was...

1. Does the size of the baby have anything to do with heartburn? The bigger the baby the more heartburn? 2. I didn't have any heartburn with my first one. Neither did my sister. We both had it with second pregnancies. Is this just coincidence or do you get HB with subsequent pregnancies? Thanks.

Hey all- On my 20 week ultrasound last month, my OB noted partial placenta previa. She is very confident that over the following 8 weeks, it will naturally subside, as my uterus grows with the pregnancy. I've done a little research myself, and am fairly confident that she's right. In my...

I made some mint fried rice on Sunday which I ate for dinner on Sunday and Monday. Since then the heartburn is irritating me. I didn't have heartburn in my first pg. She was born with a head full of hair. May be this baby will be bald :) I didn't know that mint causes heartburn! One more thing I...

I know this in common, but does anyone have any ways of dealing with it? My biggest problem seems to be lack of sleep - I'll wake up at 4.30 or so and not be able to get back to sleep. And DD has a morning sleep (when I am almost not tired!) and a late afternoon sleep (when I am getting...

A few days ago I woke up feeling nauseous and had to go to the bathroom to throw up. I noted that I vomited a bit of blood. A day before I didn't eat almost anything because I felt so badly nauseous, and so I thought the blood was because I was throwing up on an empty stomach (only gastric juice...

Help! My 12 week old son has been having increasing problems feeding over the last few weeks. After he has taken the first few ounces from the bottle he just won't take any more and just starts to cry and gag as soon as the bottle comes near him. I don't think it is the teat itself as a few times...

Hey there... Jayan was in hospital on 17 April. She had gastro (or a stomach bug). That afternoon, we were at my husband's mother's house. She had been playing and having a good time. She had a bit of a snotty nose, but it wasn't anything to worry about. On the ride home, she fell asleep. She...

Well I had my 37week appointment today and needless to say I have definately progressed. My BP went back down to normal which is reassuring and at last week I was 1cm dialated and not effaced at all. The OB says that I'm now 2-3cm dialated, 80% effaced, my cervix has done some serious ripening...

(posted to misc.kids.family life and mkb) So it looks like I'm just destined to bear large children that shrink with age g. A lot of people here know the issues we went through with Jessica's poor weight gain in her first and second years, so I won't go into it. Christopher had his one year...

What are some of the great ideas for soon-to-be-dads to get his wife for mothers day? When I was preggo and visited here all the time, they had some really fantastic ideas, which of course, I can't remember now:) My niece is pregnant after trying for 8 years!!! It's very special and I'd like to...
