I got my blood test results back and everything is in the normal range (hurray!!!). The progesterone level is 27.2. I am taking progesterone supplements, and the nurse said that without them, it would probably be low. But she didn't know what the normal range was. Does anybody know? Honey

First pregnancy I had the vertical line on belly and it seemed to be very dark. Second pregnancy there is nothing (33 weeks). What does this mean? Anybody have the same experience?

My baby is presently 3 weeks old and since I'm spending a lot of time in the recliner nursing lately, I have had time to ponder lots of things :-) I was reflecting on the surprises that this whole pregnancy/birth/motherhood thing has presented to me and it made me curious about the experiences of...

My Hubby and I are discussing new baby names. We like the first name Piper but need a middle name to go along with it. I like Rain but he doesn't. We both kinda like Esme. Any ideas? -- ~Froggy~ Were ever you go there you are!

I'm at 36 weeks and baby has taken to liking the transverse position more and more and I'm starting to get worried. *sigh* It's a high transverse, across the top of my uterus, not that I know if that makes a difference or not (looking down, babies head is to my left, turned down (back is...

Sigh...it looks like my period may have finally returned. :-( I was feeling mildly crampy last night, and this morning there is blood. Kivi is 22 months old, and still nursing frequently, so I'm surprised that if I went this long without a period, that it's coming back now. I had what I thought...

Went for u/s and amnio today. Tech asked if I had a history of fibroids, and I said 'no'. She said looks like something at top of uterus - they measured it, and said dr. will review. She also said not to worry - it is not uncommon, and usually poses no risk. The rest of the u/s went well - they...

Erin was born on Sunday, October 12th at 2 am, 3.63 kg and 51 cm. She has grey-blue eyes and light-brown hair (for now), and breastfeeds like a champ ;-) Elly and DH arrived at the hospital at 10 pm (contractions 7 minutes apart), and Elly was in the delivery room from 11:30 pm until 2 am, when...

Well, I guess I'll chime in here too with a June due date. Congrats to Amanda, Alissa, and Kristy, and thanks - you have given me the courage to make this post! I am exactly 5 weeks today. Because of my previous m/c's I have been pretty cautious. But I feel all the right feelings - fatigue,...

I am 33 weeks along and leaking colostrum every day, not a whole bunch but a few drops on and off throughout the day. IT seems that is clear but sometimes now it is looking cloudy like my milk is almost in!! I am nervous because I am worried this indicates I will go into preterm labor. WIth...
